Last Bitch Standing Read Online Free PDF

knew that she didn't have his
heart-which belonged to me and always would. But it
didn't make it any easier to accept. But Supreme and I
had been through so much, and this was another hurdle
we would overcome together... or so I hoped.
    But I wasn't naive to the fact that a lot of damage had
been done on both parts. He knew about my indiscretion
with Nico, and with all the poison Maya had drenched on
him, Supreme was probably convinced I was somewhere
laid up with Nico right now, getting my fuck on. It would take all my strength and his to salvage our marriage, and
with the more time that passed with us apart, the more
worried I was becoming.

    When I stepped out of the shower, the hot water
hadn't washed away any of the burdens placed upon me.
If anything, it made them worse. I stared at my reflection
in the mirror and thought back to being held captive in
that house, and the first time Mike let me take a shower.
When I first saw my face again after all that time, it almost
startled me. I barely recognized myself. Here I was again,
feeling the same way, but this time for a different reason.
No longer were my cheeks sunken, or dark circles around
my eyes, or my complexion dull from being deprived
of sunlight. In fact, many would say I was glowing and
looked radiant due to my deep tan, courtesy of the hot
summer weather. But I knew better. The fire in my eyes
was slowly simmering out, and it was because everything
I loved seemed to be slipping further out of my grasp.
    King... ring... ring
    "Hello."
    "How long will it take you to get ready?"
    "I thought you said we weren't meeting up with
homegirl for at least a couple of hours."
    "CoCo just called and said she wrapped up shit
sooner than she anticipated and we could meet now"
    "Give me thirty minutes," I said, ending the call. I
wondered if CoCo was rushing Nico, thinking he was coming solo, or if she knew I would also be in attendance.
Just in case she didn't, I decided to put on the only one
cute dress I brought with me. All my other clothes were
street gear, since none of my recent trips had been for
pleasure. But I figured for emergency purposes, a woman
should always come prepared with at least one sexy item,
and this one was mine.

    Exactly thirty minutes later, Nico came knocking on
my door, and lucky for him, I was dressed and ready to
go.
    "Wow, you look incredible," were the first words
out of his mouth when I opened the door. "For the
last couple of months all I've seen you in is sweats and
sneakers. I almost forgot how hot you are."
    "Funny!"
    "I'm joking. You know I love your casual aroundthe-way-girl look. But this is nice too. I hope you dressed
up for my benefit."
    "Let's go. We don't want to keep your friend, CoCo
waiting."
    When we pulled up to a restaurant in Center City, I was
actually hungry, which was surprising to me since my
appetite had been pretty much void lately. "This spot is
cute, like they may have some good food in here."
    "You're hungry?" I could understand why Nico
sounded astounded.

    "Yep! And trust me, you can't be more surprised
than I am. So instead of dwelling on it, I'ma try to enjoy
a fuckin' great ass meal. Hopefully they have a big juicy
steak."
    "Damn, you really are hungry. Good for you!"
Nico laughed, playfully nudging me on our way into the
restaurant.
    When we got inside, there was a hostess greeting us
with huge smile. "Welcome. Are there only two in your
party?"
    "Actually..."
    "Nico, over here!" CoCo stood up, waving her hand
before he finished his sentence, but now there was no
need to. The hostess trailed behind us with two menus,
and put them down on the table once we sat down.
    After hugging up on Nico, CoCo turned her attention
to me. "Precious, what a cute dress you're wearing."
    "Thank you," I said, dryly.
    "Nico, I'm glad you were able to meet up with me. I
know this is supposed to be strictly about what's going on
with you, but I couldn't help but try and take
