"Tierra I'm not playing I want this to be kept a secret", I say to her for the last time. I place the decorations in the trunk of my car and shut it closed. Tierra puts her hand over her mouth like she's zipping them.

"I'm not gonna say anything at all", she says lying through her teeth. I know she gone slip up and say something to Justin about the party I'm throwing for Jordan tomorrow. I know that if Justin finds out he's gonna tell Jordan, his ass can't hold water. That's why only King and LJ know.

We hug each other and I get in my car driving home. Arianna is with Jere this week and I'm glad because I get to spend time with Jordan alone. Even though she's not a problem I like to be alone with my man. In a quick ten minutes I arrive home and I see Jordan pulling in after me. I cut the engine and walk over to his car. He gets out with no shirt, Black Basketball shorts, socks and some basketball shoes. Sweat is dripping down his chest and I'm in a daze. "Take a picture it'll last longer", his cocky ass say smiling.

"Actually I own that so a picture won't be needed", I retort back. "Where the hell is your shirt?"

"I was playin ball wit the boys and took it off", he explains. "They coming over for round two in a few out back". As soon as he said that I hear a car horn and look back to see Carmelo pull up. LJ, Justin and some chick gets out behind them. They all walk up to us and the Girl doesn't look likes she's ready to play ball. She has on a light pink sundress with her hair in a bun. "Baby This Lina, Lina this is Aniya"

"Hi", I say waving. She smiles and waves back a little too hard. Jordan wraps his arm around me and kisses my forehead. LJ laughs a little and everyone else just looks around. I feel some type of tension between Jordan and this Lina chick.

"Let's go play real quick. Tierra said she was on her way", Justin tells me breaking the silence. They all go towards the backyard and Tierra flies into the driveway. She jogs over to me and gives Lina a look then rolls her eyes.

"Um.. did I miss something?", I ask them. Tierra makes a noise and Lina just smiles. "Never mind.. let's go". I open the front door and sit in the living room. Tierra sits next to me and Lina sits on the other couch in front of me.

"Girl why I go all the way home thinking Justin's mom was dropping Tyler off, only for her to say she wanted him for another day. She gone owe me some gas money cause gas ain't cheap", she rants. I laugh at her and notice Lina staring at me. I look behind me and make sure I'm not tripping.

I look back at her and she's still staring. "Can I help you?"

"Actually yes", she says smiling. "You are very beautiful"

"Thanks", I respond dryly. I'm getting a real fucked up vibe from her and I don't like it.

"How long have you and Jordan been together?", she asks.

"A year"

"That's cute"

"I think she knows that already", Tierra says to Lina. They mug each other and Tierra cracks her knuckles. "Bitch I'm really tired of you! First you come for me and my man then you come for my best friend and hers. Like what the fuck is your problem? Can't you find a bitch or nigga on your own?"
