It All Falls Down

Chapter 6 Showdown At Noon

Chapter 6 Showdown At Noon

Sitting at a table at Olive Garden, waiting for Suge, Skylar seethed. I cannot believe this trick not only told my business, but she has the nerve to be 20 minutes late. I swear Negroes get on my damn nerves. Taking a sip of her third vodka and pineapple juice, Skylar spotted Suge.

"Oh, Lord. She did not bring that little bastard child of hers. Poor little mutt already has two strikes against her. One she has a whore for a mother and two there is no father in the picture. Hell, I doubt if Suge even knows who the little mutt's father is. She is beautiful though. She reminds me of someone, I have seen those features before. Oh well, it is time to get down to business.

"Sky! Sky! That's okay waitress! I see my sister over there. Thank you. Can you please carry this highchair to the table? My boo boo is heavy as hell. I neva been in here before this is nice. I like Italian food. Pizza is my favorite."

"Shit could she be any more embarrassing. She is so loud and unladylike. I can't wait to give her what she deserves. Mother must have been drinking when she conceived this one."

"Woo, I am tired. Dang, Sky you couldn't get up and help a sista out or something? I know you seent me because I seent you put that menu up in front of yo face! Suge slumped down in the chair. Boo boo, say "hi" to yo auntie Sky."

"It is Skylar and hello, little Dis n Dat." Skylar smirked.

"Her name is Dejanae. Dang, how hard is that?"

"Well, now let's get down to business."

"Oh no, Sky you promised me lunch and I am gonna eats my lunch. I been waiting on this all day!" Suge took the menu and ordered what seemed like one of everything.

15 minutes later.....Oh and some baked ziti for Dejanae. And some red wine for me. I see my sista is already getting her drink on."

An hour and a half and one hefty bill later.....

"Girl, this sho was nice of you to invite me to lunch to discuss your business opportunity. I really appreciate it. I could get used to us getting along like this. Suge smiled. "So what will I be doing in this movie?"

"Sitting there and keeping your damn mouth shut!"

"Sitting there and keeping my mouth shut? I thought you said I had a couple of lines?" questioned Suge.

"Oh I can't take it anymore. I am tired of this charade. There is no role in a made for TV movie. I just told your dense butt that to get you here to ask why the hell you are going around telling my damn business in the streets. I want to know why you did it, Suge. I know we have never been close, we are cut from different cloth, however I am still your sister. How could you Suge? How could you tell Tracey about Rudolpho? This is part of the reason why I cannot stand you. You do not know how to keep your damn mouth shut. And if my secret gets out so does yours. I wonder what mother would think of you then."

"Hold up! What the hell is your stuck up ass talking about? I neva told no one about Rudolpho. I was the only one there for you when you needed to get away from him. I know how dangerous it was for you to dip out on him, especially being pregnant with his seed. Are you forgetting I was the one who hooked you up with your new life and that doctor that fixed your face and your identity? And not once did I let it slip that while I was in New York with you those summers, that you were out screwing any and everything that came your way. And you are gonna threaten to tell my snitch me out to mama? Ok, bitch you tell mine I will definitely tell yours. Let's see who has the biggest dick!"

"I am pretty sure you do seeing that I have no "dick." You are so vulgar. You say you did not say anything then how does Tracey Williams know my business?" Skylar yelled standing up.

"Skylar and Suge, how are you ladies today?" said Christina Lowell, manager of Olive Garden. "Could you ladies please keep it down you are disturbing the customers." She whispered. "Thank you and tell your mother I said hello and I will call her tonight. Christina stated as she walked away.

"Sit down, Sky. And I am the vulgar one...Your ass the one causing a scene. Why would I tell anyone about Rudolpho and the baby? I have just as much to loose as you. #1: I know your snitch ass would tell my business and #2: You would not be the only one he goes after. I left those days behind me in my past. Don't blame me if your mess has come back to bite you in the ass. You had to have told someone else. We used to be best friends Sky. What happened to us?"

Skylar rolled her eyes. "I did not tell anyone else. I should have known you would never confess to your part in Tracey finding out. Once a liar, always a liar. Bitch you will never change. And you know what happened to us, so do not keep pretending to be the ignorant fool you want everyone to believe you are."

"Look hoe, I am not gonna be one more bitch! I swear if you call me another one, you are gonna be picking your weave up off the floor!" Suge yelled causing her daughter to cry and everyone in the restaurant to look at her and Skylar. "Don't cry mama. We are getting ready to leave. Look what you did; you got my baby all upset! Imma get out of her before I catch a case. You are looking at the wrong person because I did not say shit! Unlike you I will never turn my back on my family." Suge grabbed her purse and her daughter and stormed out of Olive Garden leaving Skylar there livid.

Well, if she did not tell her.....then who did? For the first time in years Skylar was no longer in control and that scared the hell out of her.
