haven't done
our thing together in a minute. It will be like old
times."
    "Tierra, have you forgotten that I have a man? A man who will flip the fuck out if he finds out I'm
going on a date with another dude?"

    "You don't have to tell him shit. It ain't like
you his wife."
    "Maybe not yet, but we're getting very close
to it."
    Both ladies practically broke their necks
making sure they heard Nichelle correctly.
    "Umm, sweetie, I don't see no ring on your
finger," Simone popped.
    "Not yet, but I'm sure it's coming."
    "You sounding awfully confident over there.
What makes you think that?" Tierra wanted to know.
    "Because last night, Carmelo said he wanted
us to move in together."
    "A-a-a-a-nd? a lot of niggas un told me the
same shit, but as you can see, I'm still living alone.
And some of them sorry motherfuckers be trying to
move up in any shit, and don't wanna pay no bills.
Please!" Tierra said, shaking her head.
    "Well, he gave me a set of keys," Nichelle
said, pulling them out of her purse, "To our new
condo in Hunter View. He's showing it to me today
so we can start picking out furniture to decorate."
Both of the girls' mouths dropped.
    "You talking about the same Hunter View
in Long Island City?" Simone asked, completely
stunned.
    Yep.

    "Them shits is off the chain! They're those
brand new glass and steel buildings. I knew Carmelo
was making paper, but not like that!" Tierra said,
unable to believe what she was hearing.
    "I guess all those trips out of town have really
paid off," Nichelle smiled.
    "I guess so," Tierra mumbled.
    As the waitress put their extra large cheese
pizza on the table, Tierra continued to be perplexed.
She didn't understand how Nichelle had managed
to make such a come-up without even trying, and
she was barely holding on to her shit while she
was putting in work every damn day.
    Tierra had a lot of love for Nichelle, but she
didn't think she was ready to be wifed by any baller
out in the streets. To her, Nichelle was a very pretty
girl, but in a young, naive looking way. She didn't
have that "in your face" sex appeal that Tierra
proudly flaunted. It was annoying her that she was
supposed to be the "Head Bitch In Charge", but
somehow, Nichelle had managed to one-up her.
    "I'm happy for you, Nichelle," Tierra managed
to say, trying to play off her discontent.
    Simone frowned up her lip and rolled her
eyes at Tierra's blatant lie.
    "I knew you would be. So now you understand
why I can't go with you on that date. Carmelo is
the real deal. I can't ruin that."
    "I feel you. I guess that leaves you, Simone."

    "I told you I'm done wasting time wit' dude."
    "Just do it this one last night. I really need
some money, and every time we all go on a date
together, Radric hits me off wit' some paper."
    "You getting hit off wit' some paper, and I
can't even get no dick. That's some lopsided shit
right there."
    "Simone, you know begging ain't my thing,
but I will. A bitch is broke, and I need your
assistance. I promise I'll make it up to you."
    "You better! But I don't understand why you
can't go on the date by yourself."
    "Because, right now Radric is like a little kid
who is so happy to be at the playground with his
best friend. He wants to include Renny in every
fuckin' thing he do. Hopefully, his excitement will
die down soon, and we can do our own thing
without Renny tagging along."
    "Yeah, you better hope it happens real soon,
because just like you need to make some money,
so do I."

    "Hey Ma," Nichelle called, opening the door
to her mother's bedroom.
    "Hi, baby. I wasn't expecting you to be home so
early. I just knew you would be out with Carmelo."

    "Yeah, he had some business to take care
of. Plus, I wanted to talk to you about something
anyway." Nichelle sat down next to her mother on
the bed.
    "Is everything okay?"
    "Oh yeah, you can get that worried look off
of your face."
    "Good. Now, tell me what's going on. You
know I have to get ready to
