Chapter 02

I answered the phone "Hello?" It was quiet in the background for a couple seconds "who's this answering Herb phone?" The girl spoke breaking the silence. I sighed here we go I thought to myself. "The name is Eva, who's this?" I asked even though the name was on the contact. She laughed "his cousin Claire. I know my name is saved so I don't know why you tryna play like it ain't, girl give my cousin his phone and stop tryna play wifey, that you'll never be. Your name is not Bianca. You'll never be her, I bet she's sitting in his condo laying in his bed right now while he's in your raggedy ass house—" is all Claire got out before I started cursing her ass out.

"FIRST OF ALL BITCH, I'M NOT NOR AM I TRYING TO BE HIS FUCKING GIRL! ME AND HIM JUST FRIENDS AND MY HOUSE IS FAR FROM RAGGEDY HOE! YO ASS SOUND LIKE A HATING ASS BITCH, I WILL FUCK YO ASS UP—" I heard a beep through the phone. The bitch hung up on me and Herb ran in the room confused "what you yelling for ? Who you yelling at—" "GET YO FUCKING ASS OUT RIGHT FUCKING NOW!" I screamed throwing his phone at his face. It hit him in the eye making him put his head down holding his eye. I didn't give not one nor two fucks 'bout his damn eye! His bitch ass gotta go! Next thing I know he pushes me into the wall putting his hand around my neck but not choking me.

"YOU BETTER CHILL THE FUCK OUT AND TALK BEFORE I HURT YO ASS EVA! ON FOE &' EM! I AIN'T EVEN PLAYING WITH YOU NO MORE!" He screamed in my face and I felt the warmth in his breath. I can't lie, I was turned on but I ain't care. I pushed him away from me, "you do not scare me bitch" I stated clearly. I sat on the bed and grilled him as he stood there rubbing his eye still staring at me. I rolled my eyes noticing he wasn't going to leave till I told him what happened. I went into the kitchen grabbed a bag of frozen vegetables and a napkin walking back up the stairs. "Put this on yo eye so it won't swell" I handed him the stuff and sighed picking up his broken iPhone X.

"I'll get it fixed tomorrow." I told him. He sucked his teeth, "Man I ain't tripping. Can you just tell me what happened that fast? I only went to the corner to check on my boys and came back in to yo ass yelling— who called my phone?" He walked towards to where I was sitting on the edge of the bed and got on his knees laying the back of his head on my lap handing me the frozen vegetables, I held it on his eye for him. "Some girl— well supposedly yo "cousin" Claire called you and I had answered which I know I shouldn't be answering yo phone but shit I honestly don't care so anyways, her ass was like who this so I stated who I was but I wanted her to tell me herself who she was so I asked who you so that bitch Gon' tell ME how I need to stop acting like I'm wifey cos I'll never be that and how I'll never be some bitch named Bianca and how my house raggedy and Bianca probably laying in yo bed at the condo blah blah blah — AND WHO BIANCA BECAUSE YOU NEVER MENTIONED NO BIANCA NIGGA!" I started getting mad.

He sucked his teeth as he got up and got his phone making a phone call. He put the phone on speaker when the person answered. "BITCH DON'T BE CALLING MY PHONE TRYNA START SHIT! YOU NOT MY COUSIN SO DON'T BE LYING LIKE THAT TO NO FEMALE AND YOU MAD BECAUSE I AIN'T EVER LEAVE MY PHONE AROUND YO THOTTING ASS! OLE RAGGEDY BITCH! AND WHO THE FUCK IS BIANCA? I DON'T EVEN KNOW NO DAMN BIANCA BITCH YOU DELUSIONAL—" I heard crying through the phone "but... why.. you.. gotta... call... me... out... my... name...." she cried between each word. "BECAUSE YO RAGGEDY ASS ALMOST GOT ME BEAT UP BY THIS CRAZY GIRL! DON'T CALL MY PHONE NO MORE!" He yelled hanging up. He looked at me mad ass hell walking towards me, "NEXT TIME" he said before I interrupted him.

"First of all, I am not her! Lower your damn voice when you speak to me or do not speak at all!" I snapped. He took a breather "next time, ask me before you go reacting over shit like that and I don't know why you reacting anyway, yo ass said you wasn't tryna get caught up in shit and agreed to just be my friend. What you wanna be my lady now?" He asked. "I" is what I said before he interrupted me "well sucks to be you because I can't make you my girlfriend that fast." He laughed pulling me into his arms as he saw my puzzled face. He gripped my chin kissing my lips with his moist lips.
