Chapter Seven

I hated to treat Dom like that but it was nothing personal, just part of the game. You know what they say, nothing worth having is easy & nothing easy is worth having. He was gone have to put in some work if this is what he wanted.

"Am I the only one peeped structure orrr??" Isis motioned her eyes to a corner of the living room and that's when we all caught on to what she meant.

Standing in the corner was Shaq and his girl Jalissa all hugged up even though it was too hot up in here for all that in my opinion.

"That's crazy," I rolled my eyes.

"Yeah, real crazy cause he was just standing outside my house before we got here tryna hug all up on me," Latrice said.

"You lying?" Isis screeched.

"I'm not! I guess this lil bet is gone be harder than I thought," she shook her head.

"I don't know what got into Mikey but he just recently been all up on me, tryna hug on me and stuff. I don't know whether to be worried about where all this is coming from or to be happy that my task is gonna be easier," Isis sort of told, sort of asked.

"You proly shouldn't worry. Just remember what the rules are: no sex. No matter how much I know you've probably fantasized about it," I joked.

"Shut up," she laughed, too.

"For some strange reason, somebody," I nodded my head back towards Dominique,"has been acting a little distant. That's why I'm so thrown off guard by him tryna be all up on me tonight."

"Eugh, look who just walked in," Latrice mugged.

I turned around to see my ex Antonio and his ugly ass girlfriend Jameisha. Trust me, I'm not hating, I can give props, but ya girl was just down right ugly. I swear the grinch could be her twin. And her weave? Even Jesus couldn't fix that and it looked like the devil himself attached it to her scalp. Not to mention she had a bad overbite and I don't knock a tall girl but I just don't see how he could date a girl that's 5'7" when he barely surpasses that height himself. They honestly look more like brothers than boyfriend and girlfriend with that peach fuzz she got growing under her nose. I could go on and on about her eyebrows and those clumped up lashes but I'll just stop .

"Girl fuck him! And I wish the Grinch would try some shit tonight, I been itching to hit a bitch in the mouth!" I rolled my eyes.

"Hell naw, we too cute to be in here fighting. Hopefully she keep it cute even though I know she not all too familiar with that concept," Isis flipped her hair.

"Oh that's what I meant to tell you! 'Tonio work at my job now," Latrice blurted.

"'Bout time his bum ass got a job so Daffy Duck over there don't gotta support them both with her lil Subway check," I was way too good at throwing shade sometimes. I loved myself for that.

All of sudden the music stopped and Shelbi, the girl whose party it was, got on the mic.

"Alright y'all we fenna get ready to sing happy birthday to yours truly," she placed both hands under her chin and grinned real big,"but before we get to that, somebody requested this song specifically for my girl Isis," she put the mic back on the stand.

We all looked at each other confused at first but once we heard the first beat (play YouTube video at top of page) we knew exactly who was behind this.

Isis started to blush so hard her light brown skin turned red. Then there came Mikey creeping past us.

"You tryna dance?" he asked her.

"Yesss," she was cheesin' so hard that she covered her mouth to try and hide her grin.
