“I don’t plan on it.”

“And don’t hit her first.”

I looked at Sisi before getting out the car. We walked to Tiana’s apartment and knocked. She opened the door wearing a T-shirt and shorts. Her face dropped the second she saw us. “What the fuck are y’all doing here?”

I held up my phone. “You had a lot to say online.”

Tiana glanced at the screenshot and laughed. “I didn’t say your name.”

“You didn’t have to. I’m giving you the opportunity to say it now.”

She stepped into the hallway and closed the door behind her. “You really came to my house over a post?”

“No. I came because I spared your ass in Cancún for my friend’s wedding, and you took that as me being scared.”

“Spared me?” She looked me up and down. “Bitch, you brought Ace to that wedding because you were desperate to make Kel jealous.”

I bent over and laughed loudly. This bitch was crazy. “And it worked, didn’t it?”

Sierra covered her mouth to stifle her giggles. I looked at her. “What?”

“Nothing. Keep going.”

Tiana rolled her eyes. “You think Ace actually wants you? He only fucked with you because he wanted to get back at Kel.”

“That man wanted me before Markel cheated on me. Try again.”

“That’s not what Kel said.”

“Kel told you he was over me too, but that didn’t stop him from staring at me the whole trip.”

Her face tightened. I knew I struck a nerve. “That’s why he beat Ace’s ass.”

I blinked. “Did we attend the same wedding?”

“Right,” Sierra added. “Because Markel got his ass tossed all across my dance floor.”

“And that was your fault,” Tiana snapped. “You knew she was bringing Ace there to start trouble.”

Sierra stepped forward. “What happened at my wedding was your fault. Nobody told your ass to start screaming in the middle of my reception.”

“Because your friend was throwing herself at my man.”

“Your man?” I laughed. “The same man that left you for dead..."

“You’re a desperate bitch.”

“And you’re a dumb one. A bird. Big Bird. Lady Featherton herself. Markel cheated on me with you, then spent your entire relationship worried about me. What exactly did you win?”

Tiana shoved me. And that was exactly what I wanted. I punched her dead in the mouth. I grabbed the front of Tiana’s shirt and pushed her against the wall before hitting her again. She swung back and caught me on the side of my face.

“Kema!” Sierra yelled.

Tiana grabbed my arm and tried to pull me down. We stumbled into the wall before falling onto the floor. I climbed on top of her and started beating her ass before Sierra grabbed me around the waist. “Okay, that’s enough Kema."

Tiana reached around me and slapped Sierra. Sierra released me. “Did this bitch just hit me?” she asked.

“Sisi, wait—” She stepped around me and decked Tiana right in the mouth, causing her head to fly back and hit the wall.
