“Tina, I can get past that the car didn’t have leather seats or a sunroof. But the damn thing didn’t even have AC! It was ninety-degree weather out there! I thought I was going to die! Talking about it’s broke! I was heated! Literally! Then when I offered to drive my car, he said no!”

Laughing like she was watching an episode of Martin, Tina asked, “Why didn’t he want to take the Range Rover?”

“This nigga talkin’ about it’s too flashy! He said if a girl was going to be with him she had to like him for him and ride with whatever! I told his ass that he might as well drop me back off because I wasn’t the girl for him!”

“Girl, I’m about to cry, I’m laughing so hard,” Tina said. “What did he say after you told him to drop you off?”

“Nothing. He dropped my ass back off.”

“Well, what happened to the Benz?” Tina asked, still choking on her own laughter.

“It wasn’t his from gate. It was his uncle’s. The one that live up here.”

Tina’s laughing slowed up. “Well, what about the cute boy you just met, what’s his name, David, Darnell?”

“Oh, my God, Darrell? Let me tell you about his married-with-kids-ass whose wife wants me to come over, for what, I don’t know, but I’m guessing it’s to see the look on his salty-ass face when he sees me and his wife chillin’ together,” I ran it down.

Tina just laughed some more. “Drama knows exactly where to find you.”

“You ain’t never lie,” I agreed in a pitiful voice.

“Aw, poor baby. What are you going to do?”

“Be lonely like I was before all this shit,” I said.

“Aw, it’ll be all right,” Tina sighed.

“No, it won’t. Come back,” I sighed back. “If you was home, me and you would have tore the streets up today,” I continued.

“I know, but…”

“But what? When are you coming back? Chris is busy boxing, he ain’t thinking about you no more,” I pleaded.

“It ain’t Chris I’m worried about. It’s Derrek. He…”

“He what?” I asked.

“He asked me to marry him,” Tina said timidly.

“What? Marry him? Whatever!”

“I’m serious, Celess.”

“And did he give you a one-way ticket back home when you said no?”

“I didn’t say no.”

“What? So you are going to marry him?”

“Yes.”

I was surprised and mad at the same time. I think deep down inside I knew if Tina married Derrek she would definitely not come back to Philly, and that would hurt my heart. I mean, Tina was all I really had. She was my friend and my family.

“So when is this supposed to happen?”

“We didn’t set a date yet, but soon.”

“Um, um, um…”

“You mad?” Tina asked. She must have sensed it.

“No,” I lied. “If you’re happy, I’m happy.”

Tina knew I was bullshittin’. She started explaining herself.

“I’m just tired of playing the game, you know?” she said. “Derrek is perfect for me. He knows everything about me already and he’s cool with it. Plus he got plenty dough and I know I’m safe with him. I can just chill.
