Allergic 2 Broke

by Carrey, Teruka

  “No this triflin’ ass whore didn’t just hang up on me.” Jade quickly dialed J’s number again.

  “What bitch!” Lexi answered.

  “Look I don’t have time to play games with you. Put J-Roc on the damn phone.” Jade demanded.

  “Well he’s asleep, so you assed out!” Lexi spat.

  “Never that boo boo. Just put J on the fuckin’ phone and quit playing. You know what, better yet since you answering the phone like his fucking secretary take a message,” Jade told her.

  “I wish a bitch would! You better send him a message in a bottle bitch! I’m not telling him shit,” Lexi protested.

  “Just tell him I’m pregnant!” Jade screamed out. Lexi’s heart fell.

  “Wha-wha-what did you say?” Lexi stuttered.

  “That’s right bitch, you heard me! I’m pregnant by J-Roc and I’m keeping it,” Jade said.

  Lexi’s body went numb all over. She didn’t ever realize Jade had disconnected the phone call. Lexi grabbed a Newport to try and calm her nerves. She kept pacing back and fourth talking to herself.

  ‘I wonder if this nigga knew this bitch was pregnant. How far along is she? Does he really love me? Does he love her?’ She thought. Lexi took a deep breath. She knew she had to do what she had to do. She lit another Newport and poured a glass of orange juice and mixed some vodka in it.

  She kept talking to herself to prep herself for the conversation with J-Roc. Ok bitch this one is gonna win you a fuckin’ Grammy.’ She thought.

  She finished her drink and went into the bedroom to jump in J’s shit so he could do the same to Jade. Lexi walked into the bedroom full throttle.

  “J-Roc! Wake up! Wake up!” She yelled kicking the edge of the bed for him to wake up. J-Roc jumped from the bed dazed and confused.

  “What’s wrong baby? You okay?” He asked her. Lexi was screaming and crying so hard she could barely speak.“Lexi baby? Do you hear me? Are you okay? What happened?”

  Lexi mushed him in the face and threw his cell phone at him.

  “5Ft Sexy called you mufucka!” She yelled.

  “Yo, don’t start buggin’ I told you I fucked, and I’m cutting her off. Why you trippin’ ‘cause she called?” J-Roc asked her wiping eye boogers out the corners of his eyes.

  “Oh, so you don’t know why she blowing up your phone?” Lexi asked him with her hands on her hips.

  “Baby, I don’t know why. That’s what I want you to tell me,” J said.

  Lexi wiped the fake tears from her face.

  “Well, she just told me she ‘bout to have your baby!” Lexi told him.

  “Shit baby, that shit ain’t mine. True I fucked, but that ho was fucking other niggas too. She can’t pin that shit on me. I always strapped my dick,” J-Roc told her.

  “J-Roc I don’t have time for this shit right. I love the shit out of you and I was on the verge of forgiving your ass for that dumb shit last week, but now I’ve had it. I can’t do this anymore you gotta go! I need sometime to myself,” she told him leaving the bedroom slamming the door behind her.

  J was standing in the middle of the bedroom floor feeling like he was on candid camera or some shit. ‘What the fuck just happened?’ He thought.

  “Lexi come here! Where you at?” J-Roc yelled through the house. When he walked in the living room Lexi was lying on the couch crying her eyes out with fake tears.

  J-Roc sat beside her and rubbed her back.

  “Baby, why you storm out like that? I was trying to talk to you,” he said stitting on the couch beside her.

  “I told you I-I-I‘m done! I can’t do this anymore,” she told him in a cold tone.

  “Alexus Dawn Barlow, I love you more than anything in this world and I refuse to lose you over some fuck shit like this. Do you hear me baby?”

  “I hear you,” Lexi said sniffling.

  J grabbed his phone and began dialing. Lexi sat up on the couch, and looked at him like he was crazy.

  “Who are you calling at a time like this?” She asked him while lighting another cigarette. She was chain smoking like a mufucka. J-Roc put up one finger to let her know to wait. She sucked her teeth obviously pissed.

  “Hey baby the caller answered the phone.” It was Jade he’d called.

  “Yo why the fuck you call my phone disrespecting my girl talking ‘bout you pregnant! I’m telling you right now I ain’t claming shit, trying to pin that shit on me. You know you be fucking mad niggas. You know damn well everytime I hit, I strapped my dick, so from here on out don’t call my fucking phone no more! Oh yeah me and Lexi getting married so you ain’t stop shit with your fuckin’lies. You dirty bitch!” J-Roc said straight played her ass like a Nintendo.”

  Jade held her phone in awe at the way J-Roc was speaking to her. She finally snapped out of it.

  “You no good sorry ass muthafucka! You know damn well this baby yours. You just trying to fuckin’show out in front of that bitch! It’s all good though ‘cause I swear on everything I love both of y’all muthafuckas is gonna pay for this, y’all fucking with the wrong bitch!” Jade screamed to him as she hung up the phone. J-Roc closed his phone and looked at Lexi.

  “See baby I don’t want her I love you, can’t you see that? Please baby, just give me one more chance,” J pleaded.

  “I don’t know Jasen. I just don’t want to be hurt anymore and this shit is the icing on the cake for me,” Lexi told him. She knew that she already had him since he told Jade they were getting married. Hearing him say it completely caught her off guard.

  “Damn baby you must be really mad at me calling me by my government,” he said.

  “Well you called me out earlier nigga, so don’t trip.” she told him.

  J-Roc sat on the couch and picked Lexi up and put her on his lap.

  “Lexi I know you love me just as much as I love you. All I’m asking is for one more chance baby. I know I fucked up but I’m begging you. I meant what I told her ‘bout me and you getting married. I want you to be my wife. That’s if you’ll have me,” he said with tears in his eyes.

  “Honestly, I seriously gotta think about it, “ she said being non-chalant about it.

  “I’ll take it. Baby on the real that seed ain’t mine,” he said her rubbing her thigh.

  Lexi wiped her face with her T-shirt before she responded.

  “That’s the problem you know I love you and would do anything for you. Last night you told me you that you were fucking that bitch! I’m already trying to get over that and do my best to forgive you for that. Now not even twentyfour hours later she blowing up your phone, talking ‘bout she pregnant. You have to understand that’s a hard pill to swallow. This is gonna be hard for me to deal with.”

  “Baby, I told you that seed ain’t mine. That’s my word,” he said.

  “I know what you keep saying, and not that I don’t believe you. I just think for now we need to take this one day at a time. I will think about it though,” she told him.

  “I’ll take that. As long as you’re thinking about it I know there still might be a chance. Just don’t take too long,” he laughed playfully.

  The rest of the day they laid up watching movies like the night before. They ordered Chinese take out for dinner.

  Lexi had every intention on forgiving J-Roc for what he had done, but first she had to pay his ass back for breaking her heart. She sucked and fucked him real good and put his ass to sleep. Then she put her plan to get his ass in motion.

  When he was snoring she went into her closet and removed a duffle bag. The bag contained all the tools she needed to fuck up his car. She put on a black sweat suit and black classics. To top it off she cut holes in an old black toboggan to make it look like a ski-mask. She didn’t need anybody pointing her out when everything was said and done.

  After she geared up she went into the kitchen to and removed six eggs from the fridge to smash on his car. The weather was cold enough that the eggs would freeze, and if you didn’t know what to do to remove it that shit will
fuck up a good pain job.

  When she got outside she looked around to see if there were any witnesses. She was lucky it looked like a ghost town outside.

  She quickly sprayed his black 5.0 mustang with white spray paint made sure to make it look like Jade had done it.

  Lexi sprayed “ITS YOUR BABY!” on the hood of the car, smashed eggs all over it, and scratched the doors up. Before she went back in the crib she let the air out of all four of his tires. She was going to break the fucking windows, but she was afraid the noise would wake the neighbors or J-Roc. So she left it at that.

  Lexi went back into the crib and got into the bed satisfied with her revenge. She was glad that J-Roc didn’t even notice her being gone. She said a prayer and went to bed anxious about the next day.

  Chapter 16

  Quita was in the kitchen fixing some sausage, grits and toast for breakfast while she listened to Total. She hadn’t heard a word from Bay-Bay in over a week, she didn’t know if he was dead or alive. She didn’t sweat it though because she figured he was on the grind. All of a sudden she heard a knock on the door.

  She looked through the peephole and Kali was on the other side of the door with an overnight bag in her hand. Quita unlocked the door to let Kali in the crib.

  “Where are you going?” Quita asked her.

  “Shit, bitch you need to ask where we going?” Kali said.

  “Huh? What are you talking about Kali?” Quita asked confused.

  “Black called me ‘bout an hour ago talking ‘bout we gotta make a move up to New York.” Kali told her.

  “What! These niggas ain’t called in damn near two fucking weeks and all of a sudden they call and it’s business. Why didn’t Bay-Bay call me?” Quita asked her.

  “Shit girl.” She shrugged her shoulders. “I don’t fucking know. They just want us to be ready to go by one o’clock today,” Kali told her.

  “Wow! Are you serious Kali?”

  “Yeah bitch! So do what you do so we can be ready when they get here.” Kali clapped her hands together to hurry Quita along.

  “It’s shit like this that pisses me off Kali.”

  “I know Quita it pissed me off too, but we gotta do what we gotta do to get this money,” Kali told her.

  “I mean, damn Kali did Black forget that you have a toddler at home to take care of? Don’t he know you can’t just go without at least twenty-four notice?”

  “Don’t you think this shit gets on my nerves too? This is our last run I promise.” Kali reassured her.

  “Now I gotta rush ‘cause it’s already ten forty-five and I still need to get in the shower and wash my ass,” Quita said pouting. Kali ignored Quita because she knew she would get over it.

  “Oh, before I forget, call Lexi and tell her to get ready and get over here,” Kali told her.

  “What you mean call her? For what?” Quita questioned.

  “I mean call her ass and tell her to get ready. I talked to Black and he told me we should bring her along because Q and Rae are in Las Vegas and we need at least three for this move. I guess it all worked out the way we wanted,” Kali said.

  “Oh, shit that’s what’s up. I’ll call her, but tell me ‘bout Rae and Q. How the hell was he able to take a trip with his broke ass?” Quita asked.

  “Girl, don’t even start me to lying. Black told me that he supposedly hit a helluva lick a few nights ago, so they took a trip.”

  “Let me take my ass in here and get ready so we can bounce.”

  “Hurry up!” Kali yelled out to her.

  Quita went into her bedroom and picked up the phone and dialed Lexi, but the line was busy. She hung up and called straight back.

  “Hello,” Lexi answered in a chipper voice.

  “Hey girl. What up?”Quita asked her.

  “Everything, lemme tell you real quick. Check it. J-Roc has been over here for the past two days right. Anyway he finally admits to fucking Jade’s nasty ass!”

  “What!” Quita couldn’t believe this nigga had just snitched on his damn self.

  “Wait, I gotta tell you more. Yesterday morning he is fast asleep and his phone is blowing up like crazy. Well you know me I snuck out the room and answered it and it was Jade. Anyway we get into this big ass argument and I let her ass have it! Then I gave the bitch the DT!” They both laughed in unison. Lexi continued.

  “Girl, hurry up wit this story,” Quita said rushing her.

  “Okay to make a long story short she calls back talking shit. Then to put the icing on the cake she tells me she fucking pregnant!”

  “What? Oh hell no! I know you were pissed,” Quita said.

  “Bitch how ‘bout I was passed pissed, but no worries ‘cause it all worked in my favor. I fixed both they asses like I told you. I sprayed it’s you baby on his beautiful car in big ass letters with white spray paint. I egged it, scratched it up and flattened his tires,”Lexi said laughing wickedly.

  “Oh shit girl! That’s what the fuck I’m talking ‘bout. Fuck that nigga! What else happened girl?” Quita was geeked to know what else went down.

  “Girl, he woke up bright and early this morning to get us some breakfast. I just sat there like everything was normal. He came back in the crib talking shit! He was so fucked up. I could have sworn I saw a tear fall from his eye. The boys just left my crib and the whole 9 girl.” Lexi told her.

  “He really called the damn police?” Quita asked.

  “Yes girl, he on his way right now to press charges on Jade’s ass. I even had to act like I was mad too, so he wouldn’t suspect anything,” Lexi told her.

  “That’s what they both get. I told you I was gonna handle that shit!”

  “Well, I gotta give you props ‘cause you did the damn thang. On the real girl you gotta fill me in later,” Quita told her.

  “Oh, girl I intend on doing just that.”

  “I need you to pack at least five days worth of clothes,” Quita told her.

  “Who me?” Lexi inquired.

  “Yeah ho, who else on this damn phone?”Quita said.

  “Where we going girl?” Lexi asked.

  “Kali talked to Black and he said it’s cool for you to roll with us. We’re going to New York girl!” Quita yelled.

  “Ahhhh, hell yeah,”Lexi was screaming with excitement.

  “Ohhh! Girl, thank you and Kali so much how can I ever repay you?”

  “Don’t worry bout it. You my girl!” Quita told her.

  “When are we leaving?” Lexi inquired.

  “Black told Kali we all need to be ready by one.” Quita told her.

  “Damn, Quita it’s already eleven fifteen. Why didn’t you tell me sooner?”

  “Shit, I just found out my damn self,” Quita explained.

  “A’ight then girl. Let me get off this phone so I can shower and get dressed.”

  “Don’t be all damn day primping in the mirror either,” Quita told her.

  “I’m not. I’ll be there before one o’clock,” Lexi told her.

  “A’ight bet,” Quita said disconnecting the call.

  Quita hurried up and showered. She tried to get dressed and packed at the same time. Finally she decided to just pack two outfits and buy something while she was up top.

  After she got dressed and packed what she needed she headed back into the living room to join Kali and wait for Lexi to arrive. Kali was fast asleep on the couch with a throw pillow covering her face.

  “Kali wake ya ass up. They’ll be here in less than an hour.”

  “Leave me the fuck alone girl. I’m tired. Wake me up when they get here.”

  “Girl, come on and wake your ass up!” Quita yelled in her ear.

  Kali threw the pillow at Quita’s head and missed.
