“You’re Cadence, right?” She asked, clearly knowing the answer to her own question.
“Who wants to know?” I countered, already not interested in what she had to say.
“I’m Keanna. Could you give Titan my number?” She had the audacity to ask.
“Excuse you?” She clearly had me fucked up.
“I know he has a few women and even shares... you’re cute so I’on mind,” she countered looking me up and down.
“Bi—you know what? Let me leave before I do something that I’ll regret.”
I moved around the desperate hoe and trekked to my car with a full-blown attitude. I didn’t even know if I was mad at the fact that she was disrespectful for asking about Titan or suggesting a threesome. I mean, no one knew our relationship was fake but us, so I didn’t expect her not to say the shit that she did. It still pissed me off, though.
I got in my car and left campus. I was hungry and needed a nap before I went to work tonight. On the ride home, I decided to call my mama.
“Hello?” She answered once our call was connected.
“Hey, Mama. What you doing?” I asked.
“Not a thing. On my way home. You sound like you’re driving,” she answered.
“I am. I’m just leaving campus. I’m headed to get something to eat, then go home and take a nap before my shift tonight,” I responded as I maneuvered in and out of traffic.
“Oh okay. How’s your friend?”
I heard how she said friend and I knew she was being petty.
“Titan is fine, Mama,” I simpered.
“Mhm. When are you bringing him to meet me? I see you all over the TV and internet with him, yet I’ve never had a conversation with him,” she stated.
“I honestly didn’t think you wanted to meet him, but I’ll let him know and make it happen,” I replied honestly.
“And why wouldn’t I want to meet him?”
“Ma, you know how you get. You’on like nobody and I know you’ve seen what the blogs were saying. I didn’t think you would be interested.” I shrugged.
“Well, you seem to be very interested, so I’m willing to give him a chance, but I can’t do that if I don’t meet him,” she said.
I nodded.
“Okay, Mama. I’ll call you later.”
“Okay, baby. I love you.”
“I love you too, Mama.”
I hung up just as I was pulling up to Linc’s. I wanted a ten-piece and fried corn bites. I went inside and ordered my food and waited at the end of the counter. The good thing about working for Stacks was that we got a discount at the club and any of his brother’s establishments. I didn’t smoke, but I would eat an edible every now and then, so I would hit up Kilo’s dispensary.
By the time I got my food and made it home, Janae was calling me.
“Damn, bitch where have you been? I haven’t talked to you in a few days,” I fussed when our call connected.
“Stop it. You know I had that hair convention over the weekend. They had our asses strung the fuck out all weekend. I’m back now, so what did I miss?” She asked all in one breath.
“Not much. I went through with my birthday plans for Titan... he liked it. I spent the night... we slept together, and the next morning he fired his chef.” I said all in one breath.
“Bitch, don’t act like you didn’t just say you put that pussy on the number five wide receiver on the planet. Ahhh!” She screamed in my ear. “Why the fuck are you just telling me? Was it good? Was his dick big or little? I hope he wasn’t a minute man. Bitch, was he a minute man? Damn, tell me something,” she rambled.
