No sooner than I stood, I saw Khalan approaching the table we had just left. Josi’s ass jumped up and threw her arms around his neck, and he held her. They were getting a bit too reckless if you asked me, but nobody did, so that was a non-issue.
Mauri and I danced to a Chris Perry throwback, throwing our long hair and our asses from side to side. We were into the third song, dancing with some guys who had approached us, when we heard a loud commotion.
“What the hell?” Mauri asked with a groan.
“What’s going on, boo?” I asked, still dropping it low.
“Josi and Eliana,” Mauri shouted over her shoulder before she made a mad dash off the floor. I was right on her ass. A heffa could run in heels if necessary, and I was definitely getting it, shoving everyone out of my way.
By the time we arrived, Eliana had her hand fisted in Josi’s hair, and she was using her other hand to smash it in her sister’s face. Josi was swinging wildly, but she was missing everything, and I knew that was because she was drunk; after all, the girl could fight her ass off.
People had their cameras out and were recording, while Khalan was behind Eliana, trying to pull her off Josi. He was doing a piss poor job at it, because Eliana wasn’t letting go, and her fists were landing properly in my girl’s face.
Mauri jumped in with him to pull Eliana off, while I got behind Josi and tried to free Eliana’s hands from Josi’s hair, all the while shielding her face from blows.
“You wanna fuck on my man, boo. You gotta pay to play, and your ass is gonna pay a hefty fine!” Eliana thrust her knee upward into Josi’s face before Mauri and Khalan were able to pull her off.
I stumbled back with Josi when Eliana finally released her hold on my friend. I pulled Josi away while Eliana continued toissue threats. “Your friends might’ve saved that ass tonight, but this ain’t over, bitch. I promise that I’m coming for that ass. You won’t know where and when, but you’d better watch your back because I’m gonna be right behind you!”
“Come on, Eliana. Chill with all that shit. You know it wasn’t even like that,” Khalan stated.
“Fuck you, Khalan. You ain’t shit!” she shouted.
Eliana turned and stormed out of the club while I held Josi close. My best friend was crying. Khalan turned and shouted at everyone as the bouncers closed in on them. “Everyone get the fuck outta here. What are y’all looking at?”
People continued recording until the bouncers cleared them out.
“Aye, y’all gotta get out of here. Y’all can’t be bringing that shit up in here,” one of the bouncers told us.
We were at Club Amethyst, and it was one of our favorite clubs. It had never been anything but classy until tonight.
“Come on, boo.” I wrapped my arms around Josi, trying to shield her from everyone as I led her out of the club. Mauri and Khalan were right behind us. She had ridden here with Mauri and me. I would be taking her home first and then Mauri.
I clicked my key fob and unlocked my car.
“Aye, thanks for jumping in, y’all. I appreciate y’all.”
“We didn’t do that shit for you, Khalan. We did that for our girl,” Mauri sniped.
“Yeah. I get it. But still, I appreciate you. I can take her from here though,” Khalan stated.
“We don’t need your help!” Mauri snapped again.
“Hey, cool out, Mauri. Josi, what do you wanna do, boo?” I asked, cupping her chin and lifting her head.
It was my first time looking into her face since the fight, and it messed me up. Her lip was swollen, and so were her eyes. They were both turning colors already, and it hadn’t been that long. Icould see cuts on her cheeks from where Eliana hit her with her rings, and I knew her cheeks would be swollen. Seeing her like this was triggering, and it reminded me of when Regal jumped on me. However, Josi’s bruises were going to be much worse than mine.
Both sisters fought with rings on every finger when they fought. So I knew that she came prepared to whup Josi’s ass, but Josi wasn’t quite prepared. She was drunk, didn’t have her rings, and probably didn’t want to fight her sister anyway. It was all so crazy and didn’t make sense.
“What do you want to do, babe?” I asked.
“I’m going with Khalan,” she replied thickly. I almost couldn’t understand her words.
Mauri shook her head. “You still going with that nigga despite what just went down with your sister? That’s fucked up, Josi.”
Josi started crying again, and Khalan stepped in and pulled her into his arms. “I got you, baby. Y’all be easy. She’ll call when she can.”
“Lose my fucking number. If you can do that shit to your sister, I don’t want to know what you’ll do to me,” Mauri declared.
