" FLIP THE SCRIPT "

CHAPTER 14

No Kat, it's just that I'm feeling kind of saucy today! And I would like to wear some tight jeans. Carroll looks into a now fogged mirror, thus wipes with her hand, revealing her essence, and says... Yes," that grab all my unsightly essentials." If you know what I mean?

Girl, Carroll, you are still a damn handful. Plus, when you're finished in there Ms. Easy. Listen, look in the closet by the mirror, and pick out some hip-huggers to please!

Okay Kat," that's what I'm talking about alley Kat."

Kathy, while dressed now and sitting on the bed ready, picks up her cell phone and starts to dial. Next shouts, "Carroll, I'm calling Shorty now." And I want you to assist us with the job today. Again, that's if you're still interested in filling my empty position.

" Hell yeah." I'm ready like Freddie Kat.

Cool, hold that thought though. Yes, hello Shorty! It's me, Kathy," change of plans today player." Look, can you meet us today at 1:30 pm? Yes, instead of our agreed-upon 2:30 pm ok?

Sure, boss lady," I'll be there." And make sure that you call Charlott.? Because she sleeps heavily on Saturdays for some reason or another. Also, I'll pick my boy Terry up, to get our duties done even faster. Now, if that's cool with you, my queen.

Yes, that's even better! Because, we're only going to be there, for about a couple of hours or so. Truly," the more the better."

Okay, boss lady, I'll see you in a bit then.

" Thanks, Short rib." Also, real talk, for our usual music to bounce to Shorty. Listen, I'll bring some music for the store's C\D player.

That's on point, Kathy. Nonetheless, take your time on that highway. Later my queen; bye...

Are you ready Kat, I'm finished.

Yeah, Carroll. Let me get my bag and we're out. Oh, and I hope you are driving. Because "your supervisor loves to be chauffeured."

" What." Girl, come on here Kathy? So, we can get this shit over with, and do some real Vogue-like shopping today;" Mama Troll."

Alright, I see you got me back! Huh bitch? And there you go, "Let's roll Carroll." Suddenly, before Carroll could get another word in edgewise, Kathy started shoving her out the front door. Next, she commences to lock it behind them both **

" Ahh, brief conversation before we go, Kathy!" So, what's my take when I'm on payroll Kat? 

Look, Carroll, let that question roll through your mind. Until I see if you're Clove material today, OK?

" I feel you on that note." But...

But nothing Carroll. Now, let's bounce and close your tra.? Because it's been hurting since you knocked on my damn door this morning, " MAMA GOOD DRAWS!"

 Carroll turns with a smirk on her face and replies, "Wow, still a little jumpy I see! Yet," you didn't get that from me Betty Boo."

Into the Tempo, they verge, and they are gone...

                                                                                ^^^^^^^

** Pulling into the parking lot now into the mall's view, approaching the Clove entrance. Both ladies are in deep thought as it appears**

"Listen Carroll?" We're here at the job. And there are a couple of things that I need to get straight. Yes, which is important between you and me.

"Spill it out, Kathy." Say what's on your mind.

Girl, we've known each other since we were knee-high to a damn stump. Plus, I have much love for you," this you should feel and know!" But we are on two different business levels now. So, take what I'm about to say to hear.? Because I'm very serious about this OK! So," don't get it twisted." Carroll, from now on with your presence around here. Again, if you're interested. Friendship, " this holds no grounds!" And to be blunt with it as well! This new spot I've been blessed with" may claim my ticket to the top." Yes, with my designs. Now, you may or may not understand this phrase. But, from now on it's always," Business and nothing personal."

Carroll, fixes her gaze on her and replies," Oh OK, now what else Kathy?"

"Hold the drama, Carroll!" Look, make not one mistake on this. Do your job, to the best of your ability. Also, keep those sly remarks on the down low. Lastly, if late, two or three times at most! Yes, without proper cause into such events! Bitch," your ass is fired!" Now, can you of all people feel what I'm cooking dammit?

" WOAH KATHY!" Now, that's one hell of an interview, Kathy! Also, I feel where you're at with this OK. Plus, I can rock to that music, "because it's real." Besides, maybe our unity at this point can make a damn difference anyway. "Who knows," what the Big Man upstairs has in store from this day forward into our future Kathy?

Alright, " now that we're on the same page, Carroll."  Girl let's get this shit over with, ok? And I can see first-hand what you have to offer unto Clove's association with your self-worth. Yes, besides your big mouth, " Ms. Thing."

Okay, now let's get the lead out then Ms. Reins...
