woulda thought Jason would be cheating, though . . . and with some skeezer; thatâs more like Travis.â
Travis Thorn was Jasonâs best friend and co-worker. He took womanizing to a whole nother level and often criticized Jason about his relationship with Yaya. It was one of the many reasons that she and Travis didnât get along. He often commented about the six-year age difference between Yaya and Jason, claiming that Yaya was a young girl and didnât know how to handle a real relationship.
âI donât know what the hell he was thinking,â Yaya told her.
âObviously, he wasnât thinking.â Taryn sighed. âIâm sorry, Yaya. But donât worry, girl, life goes on, and believe me, itâs about to get better for us. Have you talked to Q ?â
âHeâs caught up in his own little drama, girl. I tried to call and talk to him about Jason and he brushed me off.â
âWhat? Q brushed you off? Now, thatâs a first. What kind of drama does he have going on?â
âSome chick named Paige, I donât know.â Her cell began ringing. She looked at it and saw that it was Monya. âHey, whatâs going on?â
âNothing, really. I took the shoes back to him. Heâs really pissed, Yaya. Where are you?â
âPicked Taryn up and now taking her homeâwhat did he say?â
âIâll meet you at Tarynâs.â
Monyaâs truck was parked in front of Tarynâs townhouse when they arrived.
âWhatâs up, T ?â Monya gave Taryn a big hug. âYou have a good trip?â
âHey, Monya, you know I didâfine dining, fine men, fat paycheck and all expenses paidâyou know it donât get any better than that!â
They all laughed as they carried the luggage inside.
âHome, sweet home.â Taryn flopped down on her large, plush sofa. âYaya told me about yâall catching the girl driving her car last night. Thatâs wild.â
âWild ainât the word,â Monya said, âI wouldnât have believed it if I ainât see it for myself. Olâ girl was rolling in the Lex like it was hers.â
âIâm proud of you, though, Yaya. A few months ago, you woulda went off on Jason, cutting tires, busting windows . . . something. You know that temper of yours isââ
âOh, she did some damage. Not as much as I thought she wouldâve done, but she got her point across. He was pissed about his shoes. The police were still there when I got there.â
âDamage? Shoes? Police?â Taryn sat up. âOh, hold on, you ainât say nothing about any of that, Qianna Westbrooke!â
âI figured she didnât since that wasnât the first thing you asked when you got out the car.â Monya giggled and went on to tell the complete story.
Yaya rolled her eyes at her as she talked.
âWell, that explains the raggedy look youâre rocking today. Oh, my goodness, Yaya, I know you ainât chance going to jail, when you know you had to pick me up from the airport.â
âI know you were pissed after you had to wait over thirty minutes for her to get there,â Monya continued.
âYaya!â Taryn gasped.
âMonya, your ass canât hold water,â Yaya hissed.
Monya was laughing so hard that tears were streaming down her face.
â T , shut up. Your flight was delayed anyway. And I wasnât going to jail.â
âI donât know, Yaya, I got a feeling Jason was about to send the cops to your house if I wouldnâta pulled up when I did.â
âJason better be glad I didnât call the cops on him about my car.â Yaya folded her arms and sat on the barstool.
âHe didnât even know the girl had your car, Yaya,â Monya told her.
âWhat?â Yaya and Taryn said at the same time.
âYep, at least not until he got a call from
