I went and got my hair braided and then I headed home. Dee was sitting on the couch talking to Dre and I just waved my hand and headed into my bedroom. I ran me some water in my jacuzzi bathtub and then peeled my clothes away. I climbed inside the tub and closed my eyes. I had no idea whatsoever how long I was in there but when my eyes sprang open the water was cold. I stepped out of the tub and turned on the shower jets and submerged my body is steamy hot water. I washed my body and stepped out and headed into my bedroom. I walked over to my dresser and grab me a fresh pair of panties and threw on a tank top. I crawled into bed and fell asleep.
My eyes open at about 2:30 that morning to the sound of my cell phone ringing. "Hello," I said while clearing my throat "I said hello," I heard someone say " I know you tried to get me locked up tonite but let me tell you this. Shania will never walk away from what she knows. She's tried that already. Even if she does get the courage to leave me I will not only kill her but dismember her remains. Do you fuckin understand me ... ?" I laughed in the face of danger "You just called and threatened the wrong bitch. See, you have no idea that you have been recorded. I will take this down to the police station first thing in the morning. I'll be seeing you in court you dumb bitch..." I then pressed the end button. I got out of bed to check on Dee and she was fast asleep. I then called the hospital to check on Shania but she was fast asleep as well.
I then warmed me up some milk and stretched out on the couch. My eyes soon grew heavy and I fell asleep right there. I woke up to Dee nudging me. "What girl damn," she rubbed her stomach and asked "Aren't you gonna be late for work...?" I looked at her sideways "Late for work, late for work Dee...? I run the damn company. What do you mean late for work...?" Dee looked at me and shook her head and walked away. I caught her mumbling something about "This bitch trippin," I started to jump up and get in her ass but I was bone tired and way pass my boiling point.
I jumped off the couch and went in my bedroom to take a quick shower so I could start my day. I rubbed lotion in my skin and threw on one of my infamous pants suits. I pulled my braids back and on top of my head and headed out. I walked pass the day guard and out to the garage. Which one of my babies would I be driving today...? I jumped in my truck and headed to the Loop. I was a few minutes behind schedule but that didn't stop me from holding my ground. "What the fuck y'all looking at...?" everyone scattered with good morning Ms. Long on their lips. Ricky stopped me before I reached the elevator and asked "Ms. Long, I know this is none of my business-" I cut him off and asked "Ain't that what people say right before they get in your business...?" he nodded and replied "Touche," and walked back to his station.
I headed upstairs to my office and kicked off my shoes. This carpet felt good on the bottom of my feet. I sat down in my chair. I didn't even bother to turn the lights on. I just sat in the dark. I heard the intercom buzz then I heard "Ms. Long you have an Artijane'out here wanting to see you," I smiled in-spite of everything and said "Send her in," Artijane' walked in like she owned the world. "Ms. Long that Celine is a piece of work. She knows damn well I run shit around here when you're not around," I turned around in my chair to look thru the big glass window and chuckled "You run shit around here...? Is that what you tell everybody, huh Tija'...?" I spun around in my chair and placed my elbows on my desk. I looked at her and studied her demeanor. Tija' was very clever and very sharp and I loved her like a sister. I could tell she was nervous but she kept it together.
