It was 3 a.m. in the morning. Fenty was leaving her workplace at the salon. She had just got done with doing a two-hour process of making a closure for a woman whose real hair stopped at her midback.
Fenty's POV cont.
"I know you tired ash girl, your fingers was doing gang signs and shit on Coko's head.", my fav coworker/ friend, Trina, said. "Coko should be happy that I had the patience that I did. I was gonna ask you could you do it", I said while laughing. "Bitch you already know I don't fuck with Coko's coconut head ass like that.", Trina said. I laughed. I just love messing with Trina about Coko. Coko is a regular customer that comes into the salon everyday or every month depending on what hairstyle she wants. Oh and surprise surprise Coko and Trina are cousins. Ikr, that sounds like bullshit but it's true. Trina explained to me how she and Coko thought they were just good close friends until they were in 6th grade. They've always went to the same school in every grade. They even graduated together. Don't worry bout Trina not fucking with Coko right now, she just a lil upset that Coko bought the last straight Mongolian hair. "Trina you know damn well you love yo cousin.", I said still laughing. Trina looked at me with smirk on her face. Yeah she know I'm right. "Well ima call you when I hit home.", Trina said smiling her ass off. "Ight and if you don't keep yo word about calling me, I'm coming to yo house and I'm taking that uglyass Betty Boop purse you like.", I said. Me and her always joke about her uglyass Betty Boop purse she bought when she first started working ay the salon with me. We both laughed and got in our cars. Trina was the first to pull off and drive. I waited a minute or two because my phone had vibrated.

It was 3:33 a.m. in the morning. Dyana was asleep for the night in her room that Devanté made for her. Devante's house was completely silent and dark. Devanté was in his room trying to go to sleep but something was in his mind.
Devanté's POV.
Damn. I completely forgot that Dyana told me to text Fenty back. Damn, she's gone be so pissed at me. I grabbed my phone from my counter and unlocked it. Then I started to text her.

Fenty's POV cont.
I finally made it home. Finally I'm at my fucking house. I was still texting Devanté. Omg, this nigga is funny, sweet, smart, and real cool. We were talking about my family, his family, religion, global warming, hair, and other weird shit talking with it. I walked up towards my door and I was trying to open my door. I couldn't focus cuz I was texting Devanté. I heard footsteps inside of my house. My door was rattling like someone was opening up the door. A tall 5'11 light caramel man stood in front of door with exercise gear on.
It was my boyfriend, Kewon, who was standing at the door. "Hey baby", I said coming into the house while still texting Devanté. "Sup. Why you coming home late? This is your second time coming home late.", Kewon said angrily. "I just came from work. NASA didn't need me today. Calm down.", I said calmly and reasonable. I sat down on the couch and was still texting Devanté. Devanté is something else with his mysterious self. Kewon slammed the door and stomped his way towards me. "Wassup with you and this smiling shit? What's so funny? I wanna laugh.", Kewon asked. "Nothing.", I said while putting my phone on the couch. My smile that I had while talking to Devanté left so quickly. I now had a sad straight face. For a while, my phone kept vibrating. Damn Devanté, you blowing my phone up like I'm the superstar. Kewon noticed and said, "Who tf is dat textin u, huh?" I could hear the anger come from his voice. "It's just some guy I meet at the cave. He's harmless and funny.", I said. I picked up my phone and began texting Devanté again. Kewon looked at me. I could feel him looking at me. He was standing up. He walked closer towards me and slapped my phone from my hand. "Wtf was that for Kewon?", I said confusingly. Tf wrong with this nigga. "You really texting other niggas ALL IN MY FACE FENDI", Kewon yelled. "It's only a guy from the club. He's not effecting or changing me. You need to calm down", I said. "Girl who tf you think you talking to? Ima needa u to lower yo fucking voice when you tryna speak to me.", He yelled. I got up from the couch grabbed my phone and went into the kitchen. I went back to texting Devanté. I could hear Kewon stomping towards the kitchen. He came towards my face. "Who tf told u to leave while I'm still talking to u?", Kewon yelled at me. I ignored him and still texted Devanté. "So you just gone fucking ignore me, huh?", Kewon said. I saw him shake his head and walk around 3 times. He stopped and thought for a minute. "Bitch, you gone fucking listen to me now", Kewon said underneath my neck. I was battling for a grasp of air. Yup, that's right he was choking me. "You gone go whenever I say go. You gone stay whenever I say stay. And you gone shut the fuck up whenever I say that. Do you understand?", Kewon said in my ears. I was going in and out. Everytime he talked, his grip around my neck would only get tighter and tighter. "Bitch I know you fucking hear me. Now you wanna shut the fuck up now? BITCH OPEN YO FUCKING MOUTH" Kewon yelled at me. Tears started coming down on my eyes. I kept trying to let go from his grip but he used one of his hands to grab mines. He pulled my hands towards my back. Tears came down even more because of the pain in neck now my arms. "BITCH I SAID SPEAK RIGHT NOW", he said again. I opened my mouth and said, " I. Can't. Breathe. Ke-ke-kewon." His grip got loose and I could finally breathe. "Ima ask u one moe damn time, do u understand me?", he said whispering in my ear. My face was so red that it looked like i had an allergic reaction. My neck was also red and had his handprints all around. "Yes, I understand.", I said crying. "You see what happens when you keep fucking playing with me?", Kewon said. I don't understand. Wtf does his mean i keep playing with him? He looked at me with such disgust and hate. I turned around so I couldn't look at his red eyes anymore. He sighed and said," Now take yo stupid ass upstairs in the bed", he said. I didn't move. I couldn't believe my boyfriend that I've been loyal to for 6 years choked me till near death. And to think, he told me that he would never lay a hand on me in "such an unpleasant way". The love of my life was going to be the hate and disgust that almost killed me. "I SAID TAKE YO STUPID ASS UPSTAIRS NOW", Kewon yelled. He grabbed my arm and took me upstairs. He kept pushing, dragging, and pulling me up the stairs. When we finally made it, he pushed me so hard that I fell. I turned around and I saw Kewon and he slammed the door. I got up and looked at myself in the mirror we had. My neck. It's so red. I touched my neck. Fuck. It hurts. My arms were still hurting from when he pulled them back. I stopped trying to touch my neck. I walked and sat on our bed. Wow. Our bed. Kinda sounds weird now. Tears came down my face. I wiped them away but I ended crying silently. Love of my life almost choked me to death. Smh. Maybe if I sleep it off, he'll be fine and everything will be okay. Everything's going to be okay.
