“
Go
ahead
and
say
it.
”

“
Say
what?
”

“
I
told
you
so.
”

“
Why
would
I
say
that?
In
my
wildest
dreams
I
never
imagined
that
this
would
be
an
issue
with
X.
The
man
is
as
sexy
as
hell.
What
the
fuck
is
the
problem?
”

“
I
don
’
t
know.
He
just
complains
of
being
too
tired
when
he
gets
home.
He
’
s
putting
in
a
lot
of
hours
at
work
and
…”

“
Stop
right
there.
So
he
’
s
working
late?
”

“
Yeah
every
night.
”

“
So
who
’
s
watching
his
daughter
while
he
’
s
working
late?
”
Jade
puts
the
air
quotes
around
working
late.

“
I
am
of
course.
Why?
”

“
Girl,
you
are
as
stupid
as
hell.
Don
’
t
you
realize
that
you
’
re
nothing
but
the
hired
help?
Cooking
and
cleaning
ad
watching
the
white
man
’
s
children.
On
top
of
all
that
you
have
the
nerve
to
be
whining
because
he
ain
’
t
fucking
you!
”

“
Jade
you
know
that
shit
is
not
even
fair.
And
you
of
all
people
ought
to
know
better.
Last
time
I
checked
your
father
was
a
white
man.
”

“
Last
time
I
checked
he
was
a
white
man,
so
what?
What?
Did
I
say
something
politically
incorrect?
I
didn
’
t
say
that
you
were
the
mammy.
”
Jade
teased.

“
I
ought
to
beat
your
ass
and
call
your
mother
and
tell
her
what
you
just
said.
You
need
to
stop.
”
Queen
laughed.
“
Fuckin
stop
playing
around
this
is
serious.
I
think
he
’
s
cheating
on
me.
What
should
I
do?
”

“
He
’
s
not
cheating
on
you.
Does
he
still
get
hard
when
he
’
s
close
to
you?
”

“
Yeah
he
does.
He
just
won
’
t
fuck
me.
He
’
ll
lick
it
but
he
won
’
t
stick
it.
And
you
know
I
need
a
good
hard
dick
in
my
life
just
to
function.
”

“
Like
I
said
before,
Karma
is
a
bitch.
”
Jade
laughed.

“
This
shit
isn
’
t
funny.
”

“
Oh
hell
yeah
it
is.
You
had
two
rich,
big
dick
niggas
breaking
your
back
on
the
regular
and
now
you
’
re
not
even
getting
any.
Plus
your
ass
is
broke!
”

“
Who
’
s
broke?
X
might
be
broke,
but
Queen
has
a
healthy
bank
account.
He
just
won
’
t
let
me
help
him
with
the
bills.
”

“
Where
the
hell
did
you
get
money?
”

“
Logic
left
enough
money
in
the
bank
to
…”

“
How
much?
”
Jade
quickly
interrupted.

Queen
hesitated
before
answering.

“
Bitch
how
much?
Stop
holding
out
on
me,
you
know
we
tell
each
other
everything.
Don
’
t
start
that
bullshit
because
you
have
a
couple
of
nickels
to
rub
together.
”

“
Actually
I
have
about
five
hundred
thousand
dollars
worth
of
nickels
to
rub
together.
”
Queen
responded.

“
Logic
gave
your
whoring
ass
five
hundred
thousand
dollars
as
a
departing
gift?
Oh
my
God!
”
Jade
blurted
out.

“
Keep
your
voice
down
and
no
he
didn
’
t.
Logic
gave
me
a
five
hundred
thousand
dollar,
‘
Keep
your
ass
away
from
me
gift.
’
And
Teddy
pays
all
of
my
bills
to
show
me
that
he
still
cares.
”

“
You
need
your
ass
whipped!
”
Jade
declared.
“
That
’
s
all
I
got
to
say.
”

“
Don
’
t
start.
You
know
just
like
I
know
that
the
only
option
I
had
was
to
leave
both
of
them.
And
trust
me,
not
a
day
goes
by
that
I
don
’
t
kick
my
own
self
in
the
ass
for
being
that
fucking
stupid.
Still
that
’
s
neither
here
nor
there
right
now.
I
have
to
work
with
what
I
have,
so,
what
do
I
do
about
X?
”

“
Queen,
stop
asking
me
what
to
do?
What
do
you
want
me
to
say?
X
was
supposed
to
be
the
rebound
guy.
 
Now
you
two
are
playing
house
with
a
baby
no
less.
If
you
think
he
’
s
cheating
on
you
than
leave
his
ass
and
move
the
hell
along.
If
it
’
s
over
it
’
s
over.
It
wasn
’
t
meant
to
be
true
love
forever
and
ever
anyway.
