VICTORIA

Lately, I had been spending a lot of time at Tricey’s house.

I was sure that she was finding it fishy that I was suddenly so social. Though we have been friends for years, I rarely had the motivation to hang out. I was never the type of person that was interested in doing the “girlie” things. For the most part, I just always wanted to be left alone.

Yet, lately I had such a free feeling coming over me. I often felt like I was flying without wings. Despite the fact that Tricey’s closet was my one and only supplier, I enjoyed spending time with my friend.

Crystal and Lynn always wanted to preach to me; tell me what I was doing wrong and what feelings I was ignoring. Since Tricey grew up with me and knew my secrets, she also knew to leave well enough alone, so I enjoyed the authenticity of her company.

“So what are you wearing tonight?” I stood leaning against the kitchen counter as I watched Sasha, a makeup artist who was also a drag queen, make up Tricey’s face. She was getting good and glammed up for Blood’s party tonight.

And that she better. Tricey told me that every baller in Chicago was going to be at that party, which meant that every money chaser with a pussy was going to be there as well. Therefore, Tricey needed to look her best to outshine the many women that were going to be trying to get her man’s attention.

I also attempted to pull out all stops with my wardrobe so that I could snag me one, two, or, if God was on my side, three of those ballers.

“I don’t know,” Tricey answered with a sigh. “I have a bad ass dress in my closet that I have been dying to have a reason to wear, but I don’t have the right shoes. Blood went shopping to get him something to wear, so I’m hoping he got my hint and got me some shoes too.”

I smiled as she spoke, but jealousy was boiling in the pit of my stomach. It was friendly jealously, though. I mean, I loved the fact that Tricey had someone in her life like Blood, but I would have appreciated it if I could experience the same luxuries at some point in my life.

However, as I stood envying her, she looked miserable.

“What’s your problem?”

Tricey looked at me out of the corner of her eyes as Sasha applied concealer. With a slight sigh, she lied, answering, “Nothing.”

“Have you heard anything from Amiel?”

“He calls me every day.”

“To say what?”

“Trying to find out when he can see Ariana again. He wants her to spend the night with him. He even asked if he could come over to see her.”

“Come over?! Is he crazy?! Doesn’t he know that you have a man?”

“No,” she answered immediately.

“You didn’t tell him?”

“He didn’t ask.”

That shit was fishy. I knew Tricey inside and out. I knew when she was happy, when she was sad, and when she was confused.
