meeting, we clicked instantly! Feel like I’ve known you all of my life,” she explained as she shook her head. My face flushed with embarrassment as I laughed to myself at how fast I thought she played for the other team.
“So, you know Rashard’s feeling you, right?” Candy asked and positioned her body so she could face me. I hit the button to lock all of the doors so no one would catch us off guard as I turned to face her as well.
“Naw, I can’t take him serious.” I said to her and she shook her head. I know he’s feeling me and I’m feeling him too and although it feels official, we haven’t placed a title on it. I just didn’t want to give too much too soon and end up alone. I really like Rashard but I don’t love him and I’m not in love with him. I enjoy his company and his conversation and right now, he’s really sweet. Everybody’s exactly how you want them to be in the beginning and that’s why I call it the cupcake phase.
“Why not?” Candy asked as she leaned her body against the car door.
“Look at him! I know he has a lot of women and we aren’t official. Plus, I know he’s still sleeping with someone because I haven’t been sleeping with him,” I said, dropping Candy’s jaw. I reached over and closed her mouth, which caused her to laugh really loud.
“I can’t fucking believe this shit!” Candy exclaimed as she got hype. “Rashard mother fucking Peterson pulling out all the stops and ain’t even getting the pussy!” she yelled out, which caused me to laugh and shake my head. Candy is so extra but I love it. She doesn’t try to be someone she’s not, she’s simply Candy. “Have you met ma dukes?” Candy asked and caused me to look at her crazy.
“Girl, I wish I would meet his mom!” I said and frowned while turning my nose up at her.
“Bitch, you act like meeting moms is beneath you!” she snapped, getting serious all of a sudden.
“Didn’t I just tell you I didn’t take him serious? I could have sworn I said we aren’t official and he’s sleeping with other people, so why the fuck would your next question be about his mom?” I snapped right back at her. I guess she would have to figure me out too. I may not say much but I’ll reach out and touch a bitch without a second thought if I need to. And I’ll tell you one thing, I don’t give a fuck about that gun sitting on her lap either! Candy didn’t respond, she just nodded her head and turned to face forward. I didn’t move, instead, I tried to stare a mud hole in the side of her face. “Bitch, you ain’t fina sit in my car with a damn attitude,” I said to her, which caused her to look at me and roll her eyes.
“You know Tamia, you and I are gonna be just fine,” she said without looking at me. I shook my head at her because she’s crazy but I agree with her 100 percent.
We sat outside for a while longer just shooting the breeze until Rashard knocked on the window. I turned to look at him as Candy grabbed her gun and aimed it at the window. When she realized it was him, she lowered her weapon. “Bitch, can you uncock it or something?” I asked because it was pointing in my direction. They both laughed at me like I was joking. “I’m just saying, I don’t want you to sneeze or something and I get shot,” I explained as she shook her head. Without answering me, she rotated the gun slightly. “Candy, get the fuck out! Yo crazy ass ain’t fina shoot my shit up!” I said because she just moved the nozzle away from me but it was now pointing at my dashboard.
Laughing, Candy unlocked her door and stepped out. Out of the corner of my eye, I could see someone approaching from the rear of vehicle. I reached over as fast as I could and snatched Candy’s arm and pulled her back inside the car. “Ouch bitch!” Candy yelled and rubbed the side of her head that hit my car on her way back in. Before I could apologize and explain, she was being yanked from my car by her ankle. I hopped over the
