“Ohmygod,” Sabina said, walking into the cell. “Was that that girl Clit-something?”
Heaven flinched. “Clitina.” The name felt dirty rolling off her tongue.
Sabina shook her head. “Who the hell names their child after genitalia, any-damn-way?”
“A woman who has a boyfriend named Nuts—with the first letter Kay and last letter Zee—unfortunately.”
“Ohmygod. I have heard it all. You can’t be serious.” She gave Heaven a look.
“I wish I wasn’t.”
“So what she want anyway?”
Heaven waved her on. “Nothing. I wanted to apologize to her; that’s all.”
Sabina frowned. “Apologize to her? For what? It’s her momma that should be apologizing.”
Heaven chuckled. “I came off a little harsh toward her when she’d stopped by the cell one day last week asking for a tampon.” Heaven shook her head. “She was tore up, weave pulled out, face lumped up.”
“She’s kinda new here, isn’t she?” Heaven nodded. “And she got her ass beat already?”
“Yeah. By her mother and her mother’s friend. They jumped her in the visiting hall.”
Sabina’s eyes widened. “Oh, she’s the one everyone was talking about. I heard they tore her up, but she fought them both, even hitting one of them upside the head with a chair.” Sabina laughed. “I heard they tore the place up. It took at least five COs to hold one of the women down. Some chick with a humongous ass, they said. And then it took another three COs to hold that Clit chick back.” Sabina sucked her teeth. “I’m pissed I missed it. Nothing like a good ole family brawl.”
Heaven laughed. “Girl, your ass is silly.”
Sabina kicked off her Reeboks, then tossed her ID holder up on her bed. She pulled off her T-shirt, then grabbed her robe and slipped it on, tying it at the waist.
“Anyway. I apologized to her for not being more sympathetic to her when she was upset.”
Sabina rolled her eyes. “I don’t know why you were feeling sorry for her. I heard that girl is wild as hell. Anyway, moving on. Enough about chicks named after clits.”
Both women laughed.
“Don’t you ever get bored staying holed up in here, looking at these dingy-ass walls?” Sabina asked. “I don’t know why you like staying up in this cell all the time.”
Heaven swept an arm around the cell. “Look around you. How could I ever be bored with all this luxury around me,” she said sarcastically. “There’s flat-screen TV, a Sony radio, MP-3 player, three hot pots and a locker full of food. And a bitch has access to twenty-two basic channels from eight a.m. to eleven p.m. What more could a girl want?”
Sabina smirked, peeling off her ankle socks, then sliding her feet into her shower shoes. “How about some fresh damn air, smart-ass? You need to come out and play with the rest of us convicts sometimes,” she joked. “Some of us are starting to think you don’t like us.”
Heaven tore her eyes away from the six-foot television cable. “I don’t.”
Sabina laughed, looking into her acrylic mirror as she applied Noxema to her face. “That’s exactly what I told them.”
Heaven shook her head. “Oh, I’m sure that went over well at the card table.”
Sabina shrugged. “They’ll live.”
“I’m going to need another one of your jumper creations,” she said, eyeing Sabina. “Ask your connect down in supplies how much it’s going to cost me for two new jumpers?”
Sabina shook her head. “And what exactly do you want done to said uniforms?”
Heaven grinned. “I’ll let you know when it comes to me. Maybe something crotch-less.”
Sabina gave her an incredulous stare. “Crotch-less? Stop the press. Am I missing something? Is Miss Uptight planning to give up the cookie?”
Heaven smirked. “A lady never kisses and tells.”
