A Little Mad

Chapter 100

"What about these? We can get these short notice I'm positive."

Mercedes stared at the picture TaTyana was showing her. Her eyes beamed with excitement.

"Black roses! I love it!"

"And they're fake girl. You don't have to worry about them dying. They'll still look pretty."

Jerome walked into the kitchen and kissed Mercedes on the cheek. He stared at the table and shook his head.

"Oh no. Wedding planning."

Mercedes laughed.

"Did you think we were just going to stand in front of someone and have the wedding in like two minutes?"

Jerome laughed and shook his head. He grabbed a drink from the fridge. TaTyana looked up from her papers and phone.

"Okay so what were thinking for the dress?"

Jerome set at the table. 

"Yes. What about the dress?"

Mercedes and TaTyana both gave him an annoyed look. Mercedes playful elbowed him.

"None of your business until that day. Get out!"

Jerome's maniacal laugh filled the air. He kissed her forehead and left the kitchen. Mercedes waited until she heard him far enough away. She leaned across the tabel excited.

"Okay. I was thinking... red and black."

TaTyana gave her a very excited look. 

"Oh, you didn't want virgin white?"

Mercedes raised her eyebrow.

"Yes. Because I'm definitely a fragile flower that doesn't get most of her injuries from sex. Defnitely." 

TaTyana laughed and then thought for a second. 

"You know... we can get you a ballgown.. and it isn't that hard to get classical music on a phone."

Mercedes reached her hand across the table. 

"We don't have to go through all that trouble.."

TaTyana shook head. She set her phone down.

"Oh no. You are my best friend. You are having some dumbass wedding. You're marrying a dumbass. That should be enough fuckery."

Mercedes stared at her in complete shock. TaTyana couldn't help her laughter.

"Hey you know it's true."

"I do. He is my dumbass."

The apartment door closes and they both look at each other confused. When they step into the living room they stop. Bailey is standing there staring at them confused.

"What?"

Mercedes couldn't contain her anger.

"Where the fuck have you been?!" 

"Around."

Mercedes clinched her fists.

"Are you fucking serious?! We all could have died! You never thought to look for us?!"

Bailey laughed.

"Oh I know. I just don't care."

TaTyana grabbed Mercedes trying to pull her back, but she pulled away.

"Get out."

Bailey raised her eyebrows.

"Excuse me?!"
