Unique

Unique had tried all night to talk to Marquis, but he wasn’t having it. Not after she’d finally gotten a hold of Curtis and did nothing but beg him to come over. She felt stupid after he refused. As she sat at the table contemplating her life, her dreams, and the untouched birthday cake from Wednesday night, she dug in her bag for Derrick’s card.

Just then the doorbell rang, and was followed by knocking. It resembled the cops’ approach. Unique wasn’t anticipating their visit, so it startled her. Had Marquis gone out and she hadn’t noticed or heard him?

She raced through the living room to answer the door and saw that Marquis was on the sofa, deep into a video game. “Who is it?” she barked at him.

Marquis shrugged, continuing with the simulated car chase.

“Open the door!”

Unique pulled the door open when she heard Tanqueray’s voice and more banging. “Girl, where you been?”

“What happened to the house? Where is Sinc—?”

“She’s here. Where have you been?”

“You, bioootch!” Sinclair growled, suddenly appearing from the bedroom. She pulled the large gown that she slept in up on her narrow shoulders and slid the falling wide sleeves up to her elbows.

Unique couldn’t tell if Sinclair was excited to see Tanqueray, or angry.

“This is all your fault!” Sinclair rushed through the living room, picking up the first thing within reach on her way, a nearly empty can of blackberry soda that Marquis had used to float his ice cream, and threw it at Tanqueray.

Tanqueray managed to block it, but burgundy droplets from the can stained all over her beautiful, semen-smelling designer gown. Tanqueray’s lip’s tightened and twisted, and she shook her arms, as if drenched with the liquid.

Cammie and Gina, who had both come from the room, covered their mouths and ducked their heads, amused by the sight.

“Sinclair!” Unique screamed.

Tanqueray wiped her dry face with the back of her hands.

“Tanqueray, it’s just drops. Let me get a paper towel.”

“Do you know how much this dress cost? I’m gonna beat your ass!” Tanqueray, murder in her eyes, threw the shoes down on the floor and went after Sinclair.

The commotion caught Marquis’ attention. “Ooooh!” he yelped, ducking his lunging aunt, not losing a beat on his game.

Sinclair clearly knew what was coming next but didn’t stand there to wait for it. She broke running, screaming loudly as she tore through the small apartment, with a heated Tanqueray on her tail. Both girls jumped over children, furniture, and video games, screaming and cussing at each other as they ran around and around the living room, one in pursuit, the other in retreat.

“I’m gonna kill you!” Tanqueray barely missed Sinclair and hit the quickly locking door of Unique’s bedroom instead, behind which Sinclair slid.

Marquis looked up from his game as if nothing had gone on over and around him. “Why you barefoot, Aunt Tang?”

“Don’t you worry about it! I don’t need my shoes to beat her head.” Tanqueray kicked the door, cracking the old wood.

Unique yelled at the top
