“Well, bring it on, you lil’baldheaded bitch. Ugly, trick-ass ho! And I’ll give you the ass beatin’ ya stank-ass mammy shoulda gave ya disrespectful ass, you fuckin’ hoodrat. Fuckin’ roach-ass ho.”
I sprint out the yard and they take off runnin’. “Crazy bitch,” the one with the big titties shouts out.
“I’ll show you crazy, ho!” I yell back. “Bring ya fresh-ass back here and let me show you how crazy does it! Fuckin’ disrespectful hoes.” I walk back into the yard, then into house. “Crazy bitches comin’ around here talkin’ shit.”
Joshua has his ass at the dinin’ room table. I walk by and he ducks his head down, but I slap him upside his head anyway. “I wanna fight yo’ black ass, niggah, tryna show out in front of them lil’ dusty-ass bitches. You fuckin’ them hoes?”
Elijah laughs.
“Boy, ain’t shit funny. If you don’t get that homework right, yo’ ass is gonna be next. You been home all damn day, this shit shoulda been finished by now. What the fuck was you doin’ all goddamn day, huh?”
He stares at me like I’m crazy.
“Oh, you not laughin’ now are you, huh? What the fuck you sittin’ there starin’ at me for? I asked you a question. Why you ain’t do your homework when you got home from school?”
“I tried. But it’s too hard.”
I eye him, twistin’ my lips. “Mmmhmm. I bet you did. Hurry up and get that homework done, and get yo’ musty-ass in the shower.”
He sniffs under his arms.
“Ya stink-ass,” I hear Joshua mumble under his breath.
“I am not. You stink,” Elijah shoots back.
“Listen, both of ya asses stink. So shut the fuck up and get that homework finished. And, Joshua, I know you don’t want me to get back on that ass, again. You still ain’t answer my question. I asked you if you fuckin’ them bitches you tried to show out in front of.” He says no. “Mmmph. Who were them lil’ fresh asses, anyway?”
“Some girls,” he says.
I ball my fist. “See, now you tryna be funny. Niggah, do I look stupid to you? I know they’re girls. You must really want your goddamn eye punched out, don’t you? I wanna know their names.”
“Why? They ain’t do nuthin’.”
I blink. Take a deep breath. “Joshua. I don’t wanna go to jail today ’cause I’m tryna go out and have me a few drinks tonight. But you are really, really pressin’ your luck. Now, I’ma ask you one more time before I take it to your head. Who. Were. Them. Lil’ bitches you were outside showin’ off for?” As soon as I start walkin’ up on him he tells me their names: Pinky, Talitha, and Chasity. I ask him which one was the dark-skinned girl with the big lips and titties since she’s the one who got slick at the mouth. He tells me Pinky. Ain’t shit pink about that lil’ ho. I roll my eyes. “And where does this Pinky bitch live?”
“Why you wanna know all that?”
I take a long, deep breath. Count to twenty in my head, then backwards. I walk down the hall, go into my bedroom, then come back out with an aluminum bat. I’ve have had enough of his shit for one day. And if I have to go outta here in handcuffs I want it to be for somethin’ good. Like smashin’ his goddamn jaw and knockin’ all of his motherfuckin’ teeth out. I walk back out to the dinin’ room calm as ever. I have one hand on my hip, and the other holdin’ the bat.
“Niggah, I’ma ask you one mo’ gin before I break ya face up in here. Where does that lil’ fresh-mouth bitch live? And before you roll your eyes or suck your teeth or tell me you don’t know, you had better think long and hard.”
Elijah eases up from out his seat and gets out of my way as Joshua hops up. “Okay, okay. She lives over on Frelinghuysen. They used to live over in Seth Boyden.”
I grunt. Seth Boyden was one of the worst projects around before they shut ’em down. “Oh, I shoulda known she was some lil’ gutter-rat hood bitch. No manners. Who’s she related to? Her mammy’s probably some crackwhore.” He tells me he doesn’t know. But I know his ass is lyin’ so I decide to let it go ’cause I’ma find out any-damn-way. And then I’ma ring her doorbell. “Boy, help Elijah get that homework done, then get out of my damn sight. I still wanna fuck you up for tryna do me. And you gonna pay to get my goddamn nails done. I’m takin’ it outta ya allowance.”
I stare him down. He shifts his eyes and starts helpin’ his brother with his school work. I walk into the kitchen and go off. “Day’Asia!” There’s shit everywhere. The stove is dirty, the floor isn’t swept, and the goddamn dishes are piled up in the sink. “Day’Asia!” I scream, headin’ toward her bedroom.
“She went up the street,” Fuquan yells from upstairs.
“Up the street where? I told her I wanted this goddamn kitchen cleaned. I’m gettin’ sick of her black ass thinkin’ she can do what the fuck she want around here.”
“I think she’s at that girl Crispy Cream’s house,” Elijah happily offers. He’ll tell on anyone to keep himself outta trouble.
“Who the fuck is Crispy Cream?” He tells me she’s one of the girls who used to come around here for Marquelle; that her name is Cremola. Cremola? What the fuck? I shake my head. “Well, why you callin’ her Crispy Cream?”
“That’s what everyone calls her because she got burned in a fire.”
I frown. These damn kids today say some really cruel shit. “Not that girl with them big-ass teeth and black gums?”
