For The Love of Money

"Hold on...say what?!" Fatima barged right in and went behind Xavier as he cursed himself for even saying that. "Nothing man." He said going into the kitchen. "Nawl. Say that shit to my face Xavier! I knew you were always jealous of Zyier but damn this is low. Even for you." Fatima said following behind him. "Jealous? Of what? That nigga? The only thing I've ever done is look out for you and your hoeish ass sister and you gonna call me jealous? Why are you here Fatima, if I'm so jealous?" He picked up his cup of Paul Masson, gulping down the liquid. "I came here because I needed a friend! But all you wanna do is make up lies!" Fatima yelled making Xavier slam the cup down on the counter. "Lies? Lies?! Fatima when have you known for me to lie to you? I was trying to figure out how to tell you. I didn't mean for it to come out like that but yes I was in the strip club a couple of weeks ago and I saw your man and your sister hugged up and kissing and shit. You dumb as fuck Fatima. That nigga obviously ain't worth your loyalty but yet you keep giving it to him. He is not your daddy and you ain't ms Regina. You can't save that nigga if he don't wanna be saved man." Xavier said lowering his tone once he saw the tears fall from her eyes. "Come here man." He said walking up to her and pulling her in for a hug. "No. Faith is messed up...but she wouldn't do that to me. She's my sister dammit!" Fatima pushed Xavier away and walked out of his house. He just shook his head and finished his drink, he ain't have time to deal with this shit. Once inside her truck, she broke down and cried harder. What happened? Her life got flipped upside down in a matter of days. "All I got is me man." She said as she brought the truck to life and drove to her mother's house. Regina was just coming inside when she saw her daughter's truck pull up. "Mama don't tell nobody I'm here okay? Imma stay with you for a couple of days". Regina just nodded and embraced her daughter in a tight hug.
