Pay Me In Tears

"Taz, stop." Egypt whined, giggling as she tried to wiggle out his embrace, but he wasn't letting her go nowhere as he kept biting the side of her neck.

Sapphire grimaced at the scene before her, she obseverd how lovey dovey they were being since she stepped foot in their house. It was like they couldn't keep their hands off each other, and every kiss and tender touch she had to witness Taz give Egypt made her sick to her stomach. 

Sapphires couldn't help but wish she was in Egypt position, the house, cars, unlimited shopping sprees and the man that should've been hers. 

"Naw, who said you could wear this little ass shorts?" Taz inquired, breaking Sapphire out her thoughts as she watched him pulled at the hem of the shorts that stopped just under Egypt butt. 

"It's hot outside, Taz." Egypt replied, pouting.

"I don't give a fuck, take your ass back upstairs and put on some pants." Taz ordered, frowning.

"You can't be serous, Taz. It's ninety-eighty degree's outside right now." Sapphire chimed in, chuckling.

Taz snapped his head in her direction. "Was I  talking to you?"

"Naw, nigga you wasn't. But I'm talking to you." she replied, smartly as she rolled her eyes.

Taz curled up his top lip. "Mind your fuckin business, yo."

"Guys, relax." Egypt intervened. "Taz, I'll go put on a different pair of shorts. I'm not putting pants on."

They both watched as Egypt left the kitchen, leaving them alone.

Sapphire turned her attention back onto Taz that was grilling the fuck out of her. She loved knowing that she was getting under his skin.

She couldn't but admire him, his hair was freshly braided, three thick gold chains laid against the red Jordan jersey, balmain shorts, and red Adidas.

"Why haven't you been answering my calls?" she questioned, getting up from the stool, and walking around the kitchen counter until she was standing directly in front of him.

"Been busy." he replied, staring her straight in the eyes. 

Sapphire left up her arched eyebrow, smirking as she traced Taz jaw line with her index finger. "That's what we doing now, lying to each other."

Taz slapped her hand down, taking a step back as he looked around making sure that Egypt haven't made her way back downstairs yet.

Licking his lips before he spoke. "Look, you already know what this is. I ain't your nigga and you ain't my bitch. I don't need to answer your calls if I don't feel like it. Now relax, enjoy the little shopping spree ya ass is about to go on that I know is on me, and stay the fuck away from me." 

Sapphire glowered as she watched Taz leave the kitchen to join Egypt upstairs.

A few minutes later, Egypt returned back into the kitchen wearing distressed jeans as she slide her purse on her shoulder. "You ready?"

"Your dumbass really went and changed into some pants." Sapphire observed, sucking her teeth in disguised, annoyed at how weak she was.

Egypt remained quiet, not wanting to get into with her cousin. 

"I'm still driving right?"Sapphire questioned, picking up her purse from the counter.

Egypt nodded her head before handing over her keys and followed her out the house. Taz had told her only she was allowed to drive the jeep, but she couldn't say no to her cousin; especially after everything she did for her.

Sapphire hopped in the drivers seat with a big ass grin, gripping the pink steering wheel as she looked around at the interior of the jeep. It was white and pink, with wifi installed in the jeep, and Egypt name was craved into the seat with a gold princess crown above it.

Sapphire knew this should've been her jeep, her name should've been engraved in the seats,she felt like Egypt sold her life. Shaking off the feeling, she reached over to run on the radio before pulling out the driveway.

Egypt scrolled down her instagram timeline, she had check her direct message to see some guys trying to talk to her, but she hurried and deleted them before Taz could see them. He had the password to all of her social media accounts.

"This my shit." Sapphire screamed as she reached out to turn the radio louder as Trey Songz song, disrespectful filled the inside of the car.

Egypt watched as Sapphire sang her out to the song, once the song was finished she turned the radio down.

"Sapphire, are you seeing somebody?" Egypt inquired, curiously. The last time she seen her cousin with a guy was almost a year ago.

"Naw, why?" she answer, never taking her eyes off the road.

"I'm just wondering, you don't want a man?" Egypt asked, knowing she had to be lonely. 

"I'm out here trying to get this money, fuck these niggas." Sapphire spat, really not wanting to have this conversation.

Egypt rolled, not believing the tough facade she was trying to put up. "Everyone wants to love and be loved."

"Love make bitches weak, love makes women take some shit they normally wouldn't, love make you go dumb over a nigga. Only for that nigga to up and leave you for the next bitch. Naw I'm good." Sapphire responded, as she made a left turn.

Egypt decided to leave the topic alone knowing that no matter what she said, Sapphire would probably not change her views on love. 

The rest of the ride to the mall they sat in silence both thinking heavily on the conversation.

Pulling into the mall parking lot, they grabbed their stuff before hoping out the car and strutting towards the entrance of the mall.

They made sure to hit up every store in the mall, which ended up with them having both arms filled with bags. 

After awhile they decided to get a pedicure and walked straight into the nail salon called "Pretty Nails" they were greeted before taken over to seats so they could soak their feet.

"You want to get something to eat after this?" Sapphire asked as she watched Egypt type on her phone, knowing she was probably texting Taz.

"Sure," Egypt replied, absently as she grinned down at her phone.

Sapphire rolled her eyes as she looked around the nail salon, but stopped on a female that was sitting across from them staring Egypt down.

"What the fuck is she looking at?" Sapphire said, loud enough for the female to hear her.

Empty snapped her head up and looked in the direction Sapphire was, the light skinned female with the bright green weave was no longer looking at them but into a blue baby stroller that sat next to her 

Squinting her eyes, Egypt tried to see if she ever seen her around before shrugging her shoulders.

"Shit, if there's a problem let me know right now and we can handle that shit right here." Sapphire spoke, looking straight at the girl. 

"Sapphire," Egypt said, embarrassed feeling all eyes on them in the nail salon.

"Sapphire, my ass that bitch got an eye problem." she snapped as she leaned back into the chair as Ling Ling came to start massaging her feet. 

Twenty minutes later they were walking out the salon, but Egypt couldn't help but turn around and make eye contact with the female from earlier. They held eye contact for for a few seconds before the girl smirked and looked back down into the blue stroller.
