Side Chick Turned Wife: A Hood Romance

by Tamicka Higgins

  He looked at me like he had just seen a ghost. He shook his head in response to I have no idea what. I could only assume that he was shakin’ his head to let me know that he had not told this bitch about his plan. I mean it only had been a day so I don’t blame him. For now, I had to pretend like I didn’t know him or else we would both be fucked. I didn’t know how much time I had so I just left the little section that he was in and went to another section in the VIP area. I sat and drank with that same stripper hoe and some other familiar people while I waited for Cynthia’s crazy ass to come up through to the VIP.

  Soon enough, there she was all dressed up in a short ass skirt with a crop top. She looked cute but shit, she looked like she was tryna get some dick tonight. I just knew it wasn’t gone be from Tyrek or else I was gone leave. I watched as she looked around the VIP section and observed everyone. I quickly looked away and engaged in conversation with the people around me. When it was good to look at her again, I looked over and saw her trying to throw herself on Tyrek. I watched as she forced a kiss on him and how he pretended that he liked it. I knew he was pretending because he clenched his jaw and looked beyond annoyed, but that lil bitch wasn’t able to see how irritated he was. She was just too concerned about bein’ around him in the VIP.

  I saw them sit down and he looked like he was tryin’ hard to tolerate her annoyin’ ass. It was so damn obvious that he was annoyed. She poured herself a drink and threw herself all over him. She even made him stand up to dance with her. He looked in my direction and rolled his eyes as he placed his hands on her hips and let her twerk all over him. I gotta say though, that bitch had hips and she knew how to use them. I grew tired of watchin’ them so I just focused on the people in my little group and drank with them. I had a raging headache coming on and I was two seconds from tellin’ this stripper that I was so down to smoke some of this shit, but nah, I just kept on drinking.

  In the midst of the conversation with my little groups of people, a drunk nigga from the group stood up and went to Tyrek’s section. He looked hella confused when he looked over at Tyrek and then over at me. I had no idea what the fuck he was doin’, it was weird. He was cool just a second ago when we was out here laughin’ and jokin’ over shit that made no damn sense. He then started to bust out laughin’.

  “Yo, Tyrek. Yo girl is cooool as shit. She hella funny too.”

  Cynthia looked at the guy, confused, and looked over at Tyrek who looked just as confused as she was. This nigga then had the audacity to shake his head and look at Cynthia like she was some alien.

  “Nahhh, not that one.”

  He then looked towards me and came my way. He made me stand up and wrapped his arms around me to drag me back to where Tyrek and Cynthia were.

  “This one. I’m gone steal her from you, Tyrek. She is a goooood one!”

  Tyrek looked at me and he looked panicked as fuck. If I was right next to him, I probably would have been able to feel his heart trying to leap out of his chest. I didn’t change my facial expression though. I remained calm because I knew that if I were to have made any other facial expression like I knew somethin’ was up, she would have been hella suspicious.

  “Nooooo. Me? I ain’t even his girl. You got me all messed up. Aha! My nigga ain’t here, I just come here to unwind and have me a good ass time. Speakin’ of which, wanna go dance and drink with me?”

  With those magic words, I whisked the nigga away and immediately shut him the hell up.

  “Sorry to bother y’all!” I said as I ushered the drunk idiot back to the section we were in. I had to make it believable so I threw myself onto him and drank some more. I had a feelin’ that Cynthia was still suspicious but there really wasn’t much else that I could do. I hoped that she wouldn’t let Tyrek have it.

  I looked over at them and saw that she was dead starin’ at me, lookin’ like she wanted to murder me. I just waved at her and mouthed that I was sorry so that she didn’t think I was starin’ at her. From the corner of my eye, I was still able to look over and see what was goin’ on. Tyrek looked like he was tryna calm her down and she wasn’t havin’ it. Damn it. I thought I was for sure going to die that night until I turned to see Tyrek plant a nice wet and passionate kiss on her lips and she just ate it up. I wish I could hear what he was sayin’ to her, but it was too fuckin’ loud in there. It hurt me to see him kiss her like that, but he was just doin’ whatever he had to do to make her believe that I wasn’t his side bitch. Or at least that was what I hoped was the reason. What if he kissed her because he realized it was too much trouble havin me around? Shit.

  Chapter Sixteen:

  Cynthia

  Call it female intuition, but I knew there was another bitch in his life and I was so sure of it. That shit that happened last night wasn’t a coincidence—that must have been the girl. Fuck, I should have gotten her name. It doesn’t matter; I know what she looks like and I am about to go find out who the fuck she is. Ugh, that shit pissed me all the way off. I know that Tyrek kept sayin’ that he didn’t even know her like that and that nigga who blurted that out was drunk as fuck, but somethin’ inside of me is tellin’ me that this bitch is responsible for Tyrek bein’ hella distant.

  I just want this nigga to realize that I am real about him and that he needs to be real about me! He kissed me real sweet last night, but I honestly felt like that was just one of his lil nigga moves to get me to shut the fuck up. Well, it worked for a minute but still, I am gone find out about this bitch now that I have a bitch to focus on. I need to find out if she is somehow connected to Tyrek. So I decided that I was gone somehow find somethin’ that resembles her in his house. Yeah, that’s right, I was gone go back to his house and see if anythin’ is there. Shit, I should have actually just followed his ass home last night, but I was so damn flustered that I just went home. I think they may have went back to his house, so now I am for sure gone find somethin’ of hers while I am there.

  I threw on some all black attire and then headed out to my brand new BMW. I started up the car and peeled out in the direction of his house. My mind was racin’ a mile a minute. I really hope this bitch ain’t connected to him, for her sake. I will seriously kill this bitch if I find out that she the reason why Tyrek don’t wanna marry me and don’t wanna spend no time with me. What the fuck does she have on me? I know for a fact that I am way prettier and way thicker than her ass. Besides, the nigga knew me longer so I already been established with his ass. He can’t leave me. I mean it ain’t like we got a kid that is tyin’ his ass to me, but shit we might as well have had a child. He was mine and I already made it up in my heart that he was the man for me. I was the bitch who stood by him when he started runnin’ his dope game and made it better than it was. I was there when he got hurt a long ass time ago and I had to nurse him back to health. I ain’t need this nigga for no financial shit ‘cause I am independent as fuck and I got this shit on lock. What the fuck does that bitch do? Does she make good money or is she just usin’ this nigga for sex and money. I want a future; that hoe probably just wants his money.

  I drove down by the beach and noticed there was a big ass bash goin’ on. It looked like somethin’ I would wanna head back to when I finished findin’ somethin’. If I find somethin’, I will for sure come back and celebrate that shit. Just as I was takin’ my eyes off the bash, I noticed a tall ass nigga and a familiar female comin’ out from a familiar BMW. Shit, it was Tyrek and he was with that lil bitch! Well, looks like I ain’t gone need to go searchin’ for shit in his house when he is out here demonstratin’ this shit for me. Aight then.

  I pulled over and parked my car in a spot where I had a clear look at what these two lil motherfuckers were doin’. I saw them both walkin’ hand in hand as they headed down to the bash. I saw them walk up to a group of niggas and they all hugged before headin’ down to the bar. I watched as they kissed and drank together. He was holdin’ her like she was me and that shit hurt me so much. I started to weep uncontrollably. I wanted so badly to get out o
f my car and run up to the bitch and let her have a piece of my mind, but I didn’t want to make a scene. There were too many people out there and it would be so easy for Tyrek to pretend like he didn’t even know me, makin’ me look like I was some crazy and jealous bitch stalkin’ her ex or somethin’.

  I now knew that this bitch wasn’t just some bitch who frequented that bar. It was more than a coincidence that she just so happened to be there. I bet you they were at that club havin’ a good ass time and me comin’ over ruined their plan. They were there well before I was. He didn’t just meet this bitch, I know it. They must have been talkin’ for some months now ‘cause Tyrek ain’t been the same in a long time and I see why. The more that he been spendin’ with her, the more he been fallin’ for her. This just ain’t right. I ain’t about all of this!

  I sat in my car and continued to watch them with all my frustrations flowing. I was so pissed off. What the fuck was I supposed to do now? My man, who I wanted to spend forever with, was bein’ swayed away by a curly-haired bitch who doesn’t even know him! Or maybe she does? Shit, I have to do more research into this. I placed my head into my hands and continued to cry. I would lift my head every once and a while to see what they were doing, but every time I looked, they were all over one another. The music was blastin’ and the bitch was out there shakin’ her shit and backin’ it up onto Tyrek. He grabbed her hips all firm and danced with her. Why didn’t he do that shit with me? Last night he was just barely touchin’ me while I was givin’ him a show. I thought he liked that shit, I thought we was gone have a good night and he was gone take me home and fuck me to sleep like he used to when we were really good with one another. I guess that ain’t what is gone happen anymore, huh?

  I just shook my head. I was in such disbelief, yet I wasn’t. I knew he was all actin’ different ‘cause he was messin’ around with some other hoe. Now I know what the fuck she look like and I know that they like to go out and often. So you know what? I’m just gone chill and kick back. I’m gone be the nicest bitch ever to Tyrek, not too nice, but nice enough so he ain’t think that I’m psycho. I’m gone change it up on him so he wanna stay with me. Yeah, that is what I’m gone do. I’m gone fuck up his game real nice. When I find out more about this bitch like where she stay, what she does for a livin’, and where she work, it’s gone be over for this nigga. I ain’t gone go out there and ‘cause a scene or sit here and cry. Nah, I’m gone get even.
