Summer

"I can't quit playing with it" Mariah said smacking my butt again. I bent down and twerked there in the store and she made a seen by getting behind me and slapping my butt. I guy walking back snapped a picture and said "Ya'll just made my life." We both laughed then we both left the store and headed to the food court. "So that was weird" Mariah said.

"I know right!" Joy had came in there like she was going to get bout it.

"So what was that about" Mariah asked. I sighed heavily because I knew exactly what it was about and my feelings were truly hurt.

"She thinks I slept with her husband" I said flatly.

"What, wait why, did you" Mariah asked.

"No crazy I would never do that to a friend" I said looking at her she looked away then back at me saying quickly "for a minute I thought she was mad at me or something she came in acting like a jealous girlfriend" Mariah said. I laughed at her. Everything came back to Mariah when she spoke about herself. She was self-absorbed like that but it didn't bother me because I was used to it after growing up in a house with Lauren. I told Mariah about the bet. "Oh wow really that was risky with Rodney" I laughed at her and said "I would not have made a bet like that with your skank behind" Mariah laughed at me and said "You better know it honey cause your husband would have been good as f*&^ed" new both laughed because we both knew she was serious. She had pouted when I told her he was mine and there would be no sharing because that's what she and I done. In truth Mariah was my dark side just like Joy bought out the good in me Mariah bought out the worst. As we were sitting she spotted a guy that was sexy as hell walking by he smiled at her and she smiled back then looked at me saying "Let's tag team him for old time sake" I admit it was tempting but who ate a burger when they had steak at home.

"My husband is a stallion boo. I will pass" I said.

"Not me honey give me five minutes." She walked off grabbed the guy by the shirt like she knew him all her life and he followed her like a puppy wagging his tail. By the time she came back Id finished her fries and mine. And I was about done with my Philly cheese steak and pinching off hers. "Bitch you sex gives me an appetite" Mariah wined.

"How was he" I asked?

"More than I anticipated" She said easing down "He nearly spit me open" she complained.

"Ouch!" I laughed at her because she looked sore.

"I'm serious he was huge I got his number and I'm not sure why I'm not doing that again." He looked at her as he came out the bathroom nodded paid for the food he ordered then walked over to his wife and kids. We both laughed. "Oh wow didn't see that coming" Mariah said.

"I wonder if she saw yawl walk off" Just then the girl reached across the table and slapped the shit out of him snatched the baby out of the high chair and practically slammed it in the stroller then she stormed yelling at the two other kids to follow. "Yeah she saw" Maria said. He took what was left of our food to and left.

I was always glad when Mariah came into town. We stayed up for hours laughing and joking and reliving the old days. I showed her to the guest room and went off to make love to my husband. I fell asleep on top of him and he fell asleep cupping my new booty. I woke around four because I had to vomit. I had obviously consumed too much alcohol. "Babe" I called but he didn't answer he slept like a log when he was drinking. I pulled my own hair back then wiped my mouth. I went to make me a cup of coffee. I almost tripped over my shoes that I had left in the living room floor earlier that night. I started the coffee maker when I heard moaning from the Mariah's room. I guess she decided to give oh boy another go after all trifling ass. Karma was going to bust her head wide open one day. I added sugar and cream to my coffee and went back upstairs and crawled into bed. I took a couple of sips before I realized I was in bed alone. Then the moaning from Mariah room made the hairs stand up on my back. He wouldn't I took the steps two at a time and when I went through the kitchen I grabbed a butcher knife out of the knife rack when I say I kicked the door open and flicked the light on so quick I talking lightning speed. And yes as I suspected Rodney and Mariah were both butt naked and he was standing up holding her while she rode him. I don't even remember coming across the room all I remember was grabbing her hair and snatching her ass. She fell flat on her back I dropped the knife and dove on that bitch punching her in her face. Rodney tried to grab but I swung on his ass and his dick was waving around in the air still at attention I bunched him in his nut sack and he fell to his knees. Mariah took the opportunity to kick me and try to slide away but she had me twisted I dove right back on her and started beating that ass again. I jumped to my feet and grabbed her by the hair pulling her across the carpeted floor and punching her the whole time. When we passed a vase a tried to smash it on her head but I missed. The glass broke though and I grabbed a piece and took a breath and charged she found her way to her feet and managed to make it to the door. She struggled to open it and at tried to stab her but Rodney grabbed me and Mariah ran out. Good for her bad for him I stabbed that mutherfucker six times. I almost killed him. He managed to get in a room and shut himself in and call the ambulance. Of course the police came and arrested me for two counts of battery, aggravated assault with a weapon, and attempted murder. Yes ma'am I landed my ass in jail with a slew of charges. As I set there alone and I pictured that woman riding my man, my husband I bawled like a baby. I wasn't mad I was crushed. I loved that man and out of all the women he could have stepped out with he done with one of my best friends. In our home that we built together the heartache the betrayal.
