The morning light shined through the beautiful home today. I wiggled the spoon in my mouth and eyed the flat screen in the kitchen. My dark hair was in a high ponytail and I had on a fitted black cami short-set. I took the spoon out my mouth and heard footsteps coming into the kitchen.

"The hell you in here eating" Zay entered the huge kitchen.

"Is it a crime to eat ice cream?" I turned my head

"Shit depends on the kind you eating" he said

"Butter pecan my favorite" I said with a little smile

"Eww, aw hell nawl cookies n cream is where it's at " Zay grabbed a box of cereal.

"It's ight..." I said shaking my hand

"When you gon hook a nigga up, you know you the household barber now." Zay laughed and placed the cereal in his mouth.

"If you wanna rock the receding hairline I'm yo girl" I laughed

"Yo you a motherfuckin character, I see why Ric has a keen interest in you." Zay admitted

"He's interested in me, what has he told you?" I asked very curiously

I still haven't got clarity about what happened the other night between me and him and I knew deep down my heart was starting to create a small place for him. Whatever the place was. However I also knew a bit about the kind of man he was and don't know if he's even capable of having somebody.

"Look ma-ma he don't say much, he more of a nigga bout actions but I know my brother. And I ain't saying nothing else, you lucky you even got that." He smirked and went to go rinse his bowl out

I suddenly heard the sound of heels tapping the floor in this direction and instantly knew who it was.

"Oooh what is she doing here?" Anya pointed her diamond crusted nail in my direction

Her hair was in beach curls and she wore a yellow two piece.

"Damn girl good morning to you too shit" Zay said leaning against the counter."

"She has a name and don't be pointing at me" I said with irritation

"What I should've asked was what the fuck happened to your face? You got into it with Ric?" She snatched off her shades

"You just love controversy don't you, Ric wouldn't do this to me but the motherfucka who did ain't around no more. I don't know why I'm explaining myself to you. Who the fuck are you!" I raised my voice

"Oh she getting out of her body" Anya teased

"Anya cut it out" Zay spoke up

"You fucking this bitch too! Everybody just passing you around and the pussy must be that fire to have niggas you barely even know speaking up for you...this crazy" Anya laughed

"Bitch! Watc..."

"Or what Bitch I can be your worse fucking nightmare!" She cut me off and walked up on me

I pushed her so hard she flew back and hit the refrigerator, she then rushed me and smacked my injured collarbone and I collapsed.

Everything went silent when we heard someone enter the house.

"Wassup y'all" he said tossing mail on the counter.

Anya sat her purse on the counter

"How you doing love" she said eyeing me

"I'm straight, gonna go take a ride today" he said looking at the mail

Zay just shook his head in distaste for Anya's actions.
