had confidence in her voice.
    Kay liked her new attitude and swagger.
Damn,
he thought to himself,
I should have given Lyniece a grand.
    “Don’t come in my castle no more without speaking to the King and Queen. Bow down, show some respect,” Scatter said to Kay.
    “Shut up, nigga, before I knock you out in here,” Kay said causing everyone to laugh.
    Tia fixed Kay a plate of baked turkey wings, macaroni and cheese, cabbage, rice, and cornbread. They all sat down and ate together. At the table, Kay asked the girls if they understood the living arrangements. Both of them nodded yes.
    “So ya’ll don’t mind living here with Lady and Scatter.”
    “No, we love it,” Tia spoke enthusiastically.
    “What about our mom?” Janita asked, looking at Kay.
    “She’ll be allowed to visit, but she can never come inside the house. Is that clear?” Kay spoke in a stern voice and the girls nodded their heads in agreement.
    “Lyniece called and got me an appointment at the hair academy tomorrow at nine in the morning,” Tia explained.
    “I’m impressed,” Kay said and looked over at Janita. “It’s school for you in the morning, miss.”
    “You ain’t got to tell me. I can’t wait to get to school so everybody can see the new me.”
    “I got somewhere I need to be at nine a.m. myself. I’ll drop Janita off at school, then you at the hair academy around eight fifteen okay?”
    “That sounds good to me.” Tia was excited, knowing that she would be seeing Kay the next day. When everyone was finished eating, Janita washed the dishes. Lady and Scatter went to bed.
    “Come on, I’ll walk ya’ll upstairs to make sure you’re settled in before I leave,” Kay said.
    Both girls looked at each other. They were really hoping he would stay. When they got upstairs Kay looked around and nothing had changed. The apartment still looked like something out of one of those ’70s sitcoms, but it was okay for the girls. Kay turned on the TV and took a seat in the living room. Tia sat next to him. Janita was tired from all the excitement so she went to wrap her hair, then went to bed.
    Kay and Tia were all alone. “Why aren’t you staying?” she asked.
    “I never said anything earlier because it didn’t come up, but I got a girlfriend and a new baby at home. I live a few blocks from here, down by Murphy Homes, with my mother, two brothers, and Lyniece. As bad as I want to stay, I can’t. You understand, don’t you.”
    Tia was quiet for a moment and then she spoke in a soft voice, “I understand, Kay. I also know that I’ve never felt like this before, about anybody. I just hope that I can be a part of your life somehow. If I have to be number two, I’ll be the best number two a man can have. All I ask is that you don’t shut me out without first giving me a chance.”
    Kay didn’t know what to say. He looked down at the floor. He didn’t like the situation. He preferred to control his predicaments, especially with his women. He looked up at Tia and started to say something, but she put her index finger to his lips.
    “Don’t say anything,” she ordered. She stood up in front of him and kicked off her boots. Not only had Lyniece done their hair, she’d also given them manicures and pedicures. Kay looked at Tia’s feet and wanted to lick and suck them the way Lady had taught him to do. Tia peeled off her skintight jeans and shirt. She had on a matching bra and panty set that matched her red manicured nails and toes.
My God,
Kay thought to himself,
her body looks better than Sonia’s.
She walked over and turned off the TV and the lights then stood right in front of Kay.
    “Do you like what you see?”
    “Hell yeah!” Kay managed to say as Tia got on her knees between his legs. She unbuttoned his jeans and pulled them to his ankles. His gun fell to the floor. Tia picked it up and looked at it before sliding it under the couch. Then she pulled off his boots and slid off his boxers and his jeans. When she put his
