"Mama!" I called walking into her house. 

"What child?" she came into the room wiping her hands on her apron. "You come to harass my nerves?"

I sucked my teeth. "You're always talking trash about me not coming by to see you and when I do you talk more trash. What do you want woman?"

"Don't get smart with me now that you're getting some dick girl."

"Mama! Me and Zy are not having sex!"

"No wonder you're so high strung. Tell Zy to clean your pipes out."

"Mama!" This old woman is nasty as hell! "You make me sick mama."

"Oh well," she shrugged taking a seat. "So what's up?"

"Mama I need to vent before I act a complete ass. You remember a few weeks ago I was telling you about Zy and his pretend momma?"

"Yeah. I was ready to go over there and kick her pasty ass but somebody wouldn't let me."

"Yeah well I might let you this time. Apparently the bitch is still down here and has been spreading rumors about me to my neighbors," I said getting upset. "She's been telling them I'm a hoe and got AIDS or some shit."

"Where's my phone? I'm about to call the whole gang and we're going to beat this bitch down." Mama hopped up ready to go fight. "I don't play when it comes to my baby. This hoe needs her jaw broken and I got the perfect bitch to come help me do it too."

"Wait a minute Madea, she's white and you're black. They're going to jail you up real quick."

"Let em try. I still got connections girl."

"Chill mama," I shook my head. I shouldn't have riled her up. "Luckily all my neighbors already know me pretty well and didn't believe her. They've been telling me everything she's been telling them and it's starting to work their nerves. Not only that but Jayden has been causing static at work."

"What that pussy lil nigga said?"

"I guess he didn't take kindly to me cursing him and his fake ass momma out and started spreading rumors about me. I guess he's been listening in on all of our private conversations me and Toni have eat the office because that's the only way he knew half the shit that's been going on. He knows we have to work closely together on projects and he's being difficult. He's childish as fuck."

"Let Zy kick his ass. He'll learn not to be a bitch then."

"No mama. Jayden is the type that wouldn't hesitate to throw somebody in jail. Zy got away with the last assault but I doubt we can keep getting away with it. The shit is getting on my nerves and I don't know what to do other than act an ass. I can't lose my job."

"Well you need to go to your superiors about this. Now your problems are spilling over into your work life and that's going to cause big problems in the future. Let them know what's going on now before it grows to an even bigger problem in the future."

I nodded. "Alright I'll call human resources first thing in the morning. They don't like staying late on Fridays so I have to make sure I get to them before I start work. Even if they can't do anything it'll be good to have a record of what's been going on."

"Exactly. And that little bitch and his pigeon headed momma keeps fucking with you I'm calling your damn cousins."

"Wait, I've got cousins?!" I looked at mama crazy. I could have sworn she was my only family I had left. Since when did I get cousins?
