Josi cleared her throat and sniffled. “He’s not stalking me. He would ask where I was going, I would tell him and ask him to meet me there at a certain time. We would grab a hotel near wherever I was to make it easy.”
“I know like hell Eliana doesn’t know about this shit,” I chimed in.
Josi shook her head.
“How long has this been going on?” I asked.
“Seven months.”
“Oh, hell no! Say it ain’t so, boo. That’s right after . . .”
“I know,” she whined again and broke down crying.
“Damn. This is fucked up,” I muttered.
“Girl, you’re telling me. I’m just glad that I’m not the only one carrying this secret anymore. These last three weeks have been rough on a bitch,” Mauri grumbled.
“You have to break it off, Josi.”
“I can’t. I love him.”
“What happened to you stalking Raahinya?”
“I was just messing with that man. I’m not in his league.”
“Your ass should’ve switched sports, because you damn sure shouldn’t have been playing in the same league as Khalan.”
“I know.” She sobbed, rubbing the heels of her hands into her eyes.
I signaled the server, who came over immediately.
“Would you please bring us two more rounds of drinks?” I ordered.
“Damn, why so many?” Mauri asked.
“Ladies, we’re about to get shitfaced. Because when Eliana finds out about this shit, and she will, our girl is about to be dead. So, let’s celebrate one last time before the shit hits the fan,” I explained.
Josi broke down crying again. I looked at Mauri, who stared at me, and we both broke down laughing our asses off.

Legacy
“Man, I miss that man. I swear on everything that I love that I feel like I made a mistake.”
“Then call him up, boo, and give him that chance to explain,” Mauri suggested.
“I don’t know. It seems like he’s been going out of his way to avoid me. I no longer see him in all the spots that I used to at the office. Some days, when I go out to see if his car is there, it isn’t. I mean, I know that he has site visits, but he’s never had that many in one week,” I complained.
“Girl, drink that drank and get over that nigga,” Josi mumbled.
I rolled my eyes at Josi. I was starting to worry and wonder about her drinking habit. I wondered if it had something to do with the situation she was in with Khalan, her sister, Eliana’s, ex.
It was another Saturday night out, but this weekend would be the weekend that Legend normally spent with Kayson.
“I don’t know ’bout y’all, but I’m about to hit this floor,” Mauri announced, jumping up. She was the only one of the three of us who was happily in love or like, or whatever she was feeling.
“Me too.” I got up and followed Mauri.
