Page 25 of So Special: Fanatic Love

I waved them over. “I already got us a section. I set it up while y’all were getting ready,” I let her and Tiara know.

We walked over to where we would be sitting. Immediately, Katniss told us that she had to use the bathroom. From where we sat, the bathroom was in direct view. The second she left our section, Tiara slid next to me. “Okay, bitch, tell me somthin.Since we got in here you been lookin round like you scopin for someone.”

“Look at you, miss obvious.” I clapped my hands. I looked toward the bathroom to make sure Katniss wasn’t coming. “Okay, let me go over this fast. A few days ago, your brother let it slip that the bitch that went to the blogs was some bitch named Penny. We was at y’all parents’ house, and he was talking to your daddy and Zane. I overheard them, well more like was intentionally listening.”

I looked down the hall again to check on Katniss. “Alright, Zane mentioned that she worked at a bank, so I did my little research and found her. Mrs. Penny Pages is the bitch. Once I found her name, finding her social media wasn’t shit. Per her social media, she’s here with some of her lil friends and I’m going to beat her ass.”

That was the plan, and I was sticking to it. Tiara’s body tilted backward before a smile displayed on her face. When her body came back forward, she said, “I knew I been ga like you. I ain’t fight since before I had Ashan. I need a lil workout. How da bitch look?”

After a few taps on my phone, I passed it to Tiara. She looked at the picture then looked around. Just as Katniss came back into the section, Tiara smiled, then pointed. My eyes narrowed in that direction.Bingo, bitch.

“What are y’all doing over here?” Katniss sat between us, and her head was on a swivel that ended in my direction. She studied my face, and I tried to keep it neutral. If anyone knew my bullshit, it was my best friend. “Nope, if someone doesn’t tell me what the hell is going on right now, I’m leaving.”

This bitch!“Look, the main reason I wanted us to come here was to chill and vibe, but there is also another reason.” I took a pause for dramatic effect because I’m a dramatic kind of bitch. “I wanted to come here because Penny Pages posted she was here.”

Bewilderedness covered her face. That was understandable because we had yet to discuss this goofy ass bitch. When I went through her digital footprint, I was shocked to find out that she was married. Her husband was some white man who was a cutie. From what I saw, he was out of the country most of the time. “Who the hell is Penny Pages, Daisy?”

Tiara sat forward to grab Katniss’s attention. “So, check it. Penny is da bitch that sold da story about you being my bubba’s baby mama to the blogs. She used to fuck wit em for a while.”

Katniss’s eyes went in the direction that Tiara pointed. Katniss sat there and just stared. It was this weird, almost obsessive stare. It was scary as fuck. Before we knew it, she stood up.Oh shit!When she looked back at us, with a steady voice, she said, “This bitch is about to see me.”

“Tiara, call your brother. We about to get locked the fuck up in this bitch.” See Katniss wasn’t one to start shit because her ass was crazy. She liked to think that she wasn’t as crazy as me, but my best friend was crazier. It was always the quiet bitches that were the craziest. When you get them started, their off button doesn’t work.

Tiara pulled her phone out to make the call as we trailed behind Katniss. Penny sat at a table with two other females, so our crews were evenly matched.Please let Tiara know how to fight.I knew what me and Katniss worked with.

“Mrs. Penny Pages, it’s nice to meet you,” Katniss greeted before she extended her hand for a handshake. My girl stood there stoically with her clutch under her arm. Her hair was in a cute messy bun with some of her tresses hanging down. Katniss had gorgeous hair, but preferred to wear weaves, wigs, and braids more often.

Penny’s head slanted upward toward my best friend. She was confused at first until recognition hit her. When her lips turned up and those eyes sparkled, I knew shit was about to go left asfuck. “Miss Katniss Roland, it’s nice to meet you as well.” Penny accepted her hand. From the hiss that came from her, it was obvious that my best friend squeezed the hell out of her lil hand.

My best friend’s head rested toward her right ear. “I heard that you love running your mouth about business that doesn’t belong to you for a paycheck.” With a snarky smile, Katniss said, “Now, miss ma’am, that’s not very nice of you.”

Even with the music around us, you could still hear a pin drop. I wasn’t sure how fast this would go or if it would go at all. Penny’s friends didn’t look like they were of the fighting variety. They looked confused as if they may not know what was about to happen. When Penny gave a throaty chuckle, it was at that moment I knew, she was with the shits.

“Well, miss ma’am, I didn’t think that it was nice for you to slide your whorish ass in places that you shouldn’t be,” Penny said with lifted brows. “As far as me running my mouth, so what? There’s nothing you can do about it.” She flexed her hand, looked at her short ass circa 1999 active length nails, then looked back at Katniss. “Hell, I would think that you would be appreciative that you got some recognition for your bastard ass—”

We knew it wasn’t right, but as the mother, godmother, and auntie of Ashtan we all reacted. If I were a spectator, I would have covered my mouth to hold in myoh shitat the sight of this girl getting hit from three different directions on her face. I was sure that we all aimed for her mouth.

“Bitch, you got my nephew fuck up!” Tiara’s voice was the loudest of us all. She tagged Penny one more time before she pulled back.

Penny’s friends didn’t want the smoke because they both jumped up and back. I pulled back off Penny after my first hit because my best friend was on her ass. My chest filled with pride because my best friend was beating this bitch’s ass. Cameraswere out everywhere filming.Shit let me pull out my camera too.If anyone was going to sell this to the blogs, it was going to be Katniss herself.Fuck it, get that money, sis!

The speed of Penny’s windmills was impressive. The wind coming from them was enough to dry the setting spray on a bitch’s face. Just as Katniss was about to stomp that ho, security came in to ruin the fun. The two friends pointed at me and Tiara to let security know that we were involved.Snitch ass bitches.Two dudes snatched our asses up as if we were rowdy.

“Aye now, be soft with me.”

In the blink of an eye, me, Tiara, and Katniss were in the back of cop cars with handcuffs on. They put us in separate cars which sucked. My eruption of laughter caused the cops that were standing closest to the car I was in to look at me suspiciously. They really called the ambulance. Damn, my best friend must have really fucked her up.

“Y’all boy wild,”Asher said over his shoulder as he walked in front of us. We were finally leaving the courthouse after hours. “How da fuck you say you ain’t wanna be in da blogs, but round here fightin bitches and shit.”

When we got arrested, it was just before midnight. Now it was almost six in the morning, and we were just leaving. “Whatever, Asher. If you maintain better control of your hos, I wouldn’t have to fight bitches!” Katniss yelled at his back. “You damn right I’m going to pounce on a bitch when she calls my son a fucking bastard.”

Katniss bumped into Asher’s back because his feet stopped moving forward abruptly. He spun around so fast that I jumpedback. “What da fuck you say jus now?” She repeated herself and he snickered. “Aight, bet dat. Let’s fuckin go!”

We all rode in Asher’s Tahoe to get back to the apartment building. We went to Katniss’s apartment, but Tiara got her stuff and was out the door. I was about to do the same until I was accosted by Zane. “Aye, let me holla at you for a minute at my place.”

It didn’t sound like he gave me another option outside of coming with him, so I came. I was tired, but dick could wake me up. It was convenient that Zane, Asher, and now Katniss lived in the same building. Asher and Zane owned penthouses while Katniss lived four floors down. I wasn’t sure how big the penthouses were, but Katniss’s condo was huge.

Me and Zane rode the elevator in silence. We had sex a few days ago in a hotel room uptown and that was the last time we talked. Katniss had been bitching about me giving him my actual phone number, but I had yet to see the need. That was too much access in my opinion, however, she thought differently.How is it too much access when you have the IG app on your phone just like text messages? He can call or text you on IG too.I hated when bitches had points.
