Just like her moms and her crew when they partied…
My phone rang in my pocket.
“Yo, Lex.” I laughed already.
“Yo, when y’all get back again?” She was snippy, but that could be Lex sometimes.
“Thursday. Why? Whaddup?” I felt the stickiness from that damn ice cream on my hand.
“I thought you said you were done with Shi-Shi.”
“Why you say that?”
“Because now I’m in some shit. I woke up to missed calls and texts from Josie. When I called her back, she was screaming into the phone how you’re still bangin’ Shi-Shi.”
My attention went to Ashira, now sitting with crossed legs on the lounger with Chivon, playing some hand game. “What? Where she get that from?”
“She heard you, yo? Did youFaceTimeher last night while Shi-Shi was in the room, thenfuck—I mean—sleep with her?”
I was ready to say hell no. That setup and sequence did sound familiar to me. Then I remembered once Ashira left my cabin this morning, I went to my phones to check in on Juggy. One was missing.
“Shit.” I left it on the sundeck when I carried Ashira to my room.
“Shit is right, and my ass is on the line,” Lex barked.
“How?”
“Because my husband tore my ass a new one for hookin’ y’all up in the first place.”
“Why? What did you do wrong?”
“I don’t know, man. Church politics, I guess I’m still learning. But you said—I thought you and Shi-Shi were done.”
My attention went back to Ashira and Chivon. Their palms were clasped together as they both laughed hard as hell about something. I took a deep breath. “I’ll talk to Josie.”
“Oh, you damn right you will. It’s only right. I vouched for you.”
“Because you know how I move.”
“But thisright hereis a departure from your move, my nigga.”
“Yo, Lex. Don’t let me hit up my pastor with a complaint about how my first lady speaks to me.”
“Man, fuck you! You pay tithes but ain’t a member. Try me!” When she heard me laughing, she hissed, “I’ve pulled up to work. Get back safely so I can beat your ass for this. Now, I gotta deal with the beast. Shit!” she swore in a whisper.
I chuckled. “Good luck, Lex. My bad on this one. I’ll hit you as soon as I touch down.”
“Bye.”
I disconnected the call and checked the time. It was still early in the morning in the U.S. I had a little time to collect my thoughts. I had to prepare to tell Ashira first.
Ain’t this some shit…
What had Josie actually heard?
