Chapter 12

Sasha was standing in front of her closet trying to figure out what to wear to the play when the telephone rang. The I.D. said, Cellular, Long Island. Sasha cast her eyes towards the ceiling in annoyance but felt compelled to answer it.

“Hello,” she said quietly.

“Hey, Sasha. It’s me.” Tiara sounded bubbly, and that gave Sasha hope that she’d want to hear what Tiara had to say.

“I know.” Sasha sounded more disgruntled than she’d intended.

“Did I catch you in a bad mood or something? What happened, did you have an argument with Sexton?”

Sasha drew in a deep breath. “Actually no, Sexton and I have been doing great. I’ve seen him every night this week.”

“He has the most free time that I have ever heard of for a pro ball player.”

“I beg to differ. He’s busy all of the time. Even though the team didn’t make the play-offs he has other interests that take up a lot of his time.”

“Girl, you’re beginning to sound as if you have stars in your eyes. Has what started as a fling turned into something bigger?” Tiara teased.

“Why are you spending so much time thinking about us? I would think that you have enough to worry about.” Sasha’s sounded openly caustic, and now she didn’t care.

“Why are you so snippy? You didn’t even want him in the beginning.”

“Well, I want him now,” Sasha retorted sharply. “Why did you tell Sexton that it appeared that I was coming on to Calvin?”

There was a long silence from the other end. “I was just kidding around, Sasha,” Tiara stuttered.

Sasha decided not to let Tiara off the hook with that lame excuse. “I don’t think that you were.”

“It seems to me that your boyfriend is a bit of an instigator,” Tiara replied defensively.

“Sexton is not the instigator in this little scenario. It’s you.”

“I’m surprised at you, Sasha. You never used to turn on your friends over a little dick.”

“It’s not a little dick, Tiara. It’s a big one,” she retorted. “The problem is that ever since you separated from Peter you’ve changed. I can’t handle it anymore.”

“We’ve been friends forever. Now all of a sudden you’re tired of me?” Tiara was obviously incensed by the fact that Sasha had drawn Peter’s name into their fight.

“It’s not all of a sudden, Tiara. I’ve been trying to work with you, but you’ve become hard to be a friend to. I know what Peter did was a blow to your ego, but you don’t have to try to sabotage everyone else’s relationship in order to lessen what your husband did.” Then Sasha softened her voice. “I think that you should get some counseling,” she suggested.

“I can’t afford it,” Tiara whined.

“That dress you had on at the party cost at least five hundred dollars. Get your priorities straight and try working on your inside as well as the outside.”

Hearing Tiara began to sniffle, Sasha felt a pain in her heart.

“So you don’t want to be my friend anymore? You think you’re too good for me.
