#18. We All Good...Kinda

Both Kat and Moozlie got off their seats to see if she's okay, "Momo?" they spoke to her concerned, but before they could get to her, she put her hand up, stopping them in their tracks

The girls both looked at one another, but stopped and sat back down, "I don't need your help" She clutched her chest, trying to get her breathing in order

"Next thing you know, you'll both be lying to me, telling my that I got high blood pressure" she heaved with every word, trying to calm herself down

Kat and Moozlie looked at one another, first smiling, then they burst out laughing. Mona mugged them, but she couldn't help but laugh along with them, "Shit ain't funny" she chuckled, going back to being serious, or at least trying to

"Nuh, she right" Kat tried to catch her breath, loving the fact that this was the first time in a long time that her and her friends laughed together, "What else do you wanna know?" She asked seriously

Mona smirked, cause for the first time in two months, she began to understand why her family was trying to protect her, even if it made her feel like a child

She sighed, "Nothing more. I'm sorry if I blew things out of portion, it's just frustrating to be treated like a child" she said with aggregation

"It was all done to protect you" Moozlie explained

Mona scoffed, looking at Zlie out the corner of her eye, "See" she crossed her legs, "I was trained to protect myself from the age of three, been using a gun since I was ten" she further explained

"I don't get why y'all were brought into my life, when I can take any nigga down" she shook her head, "Brian lets me do my own thing" she shocked her friends, making them wonder

Kat frowned, "Yo, are you for real right now?" She cocked an eyebrow, "You telling us about that nigga" she practically yelled at Mona, "Do we look like we wanna hear anything about him?" She kissed her teeth

Mona's head reared back, a little surprised that Kat still didn't like Bri, "First of all, ain't no need for all that hate, especially since I'll be marrying him soon" she showed off her engagement ring, "And secondly, I don't get why you hate Brian like you do, and neither do I care, cause at the end on the day I'm still marrying him" she said

Moozlie tried to calm her friends down, fearing that Kat's reaction to what Mona had said about Brian would cause a bigger rift than what was already there, "Ait babe, if Brian didn't let you do your own thing, then you wouldn't have gotten kidnapped" it was a clear statement that had Mona seething on the inside, but calm and calculating on the outside

"Well if you recall, Brian had shit to do back home, and by the time he came back I was already taken" she said smugly, "He even waited a few weeks before coming through and rescued me" she boasted

"And from what I've been told, he wasn't to blame for that one...daddy was" she spoke facts, and they knew it

Kat rolled her eyes, "Yeah, whatever" she looked away, "If he such a big deal in Cape Town, then why didn't he save you using his “people” as he likes to say" she made air quotes using her fingers

Mona laughed humourless, "Because he knew that if he didn't involve y'all, there would've been a bigger problem then not liking him cause he's engaged to me" she said deadpan

Kat took a deep breath in, sensing herself walk on the edge of going off on Mona. Silence fell upon the girls, but Mona had a question to ask, "So y'all gonna come to the wedding? Or ga ko needa di bridesmaids?" She held her breath, hoping that they would see how much she wanted her friends there
(Or ma I not gonna need bridesmaids?)
