PART 1
Tasha
It was one of those days again. I, Tasha, really couldn't understand why bitches would hate on you when they didn't even know you. This bitch had one more time to say some slick shit out of her mouth about me to my man. The man that I was speaking about was Rellz. Rellz was the reason these bitches be tripping. All of us fly bitches knew that whenever a fine man fucked with ugly bitches, it made them bitches think they were on the fly-bitch level, but trust and believe, I had no problem knocking a bitch back down where she belonged. Yes, Rellz was a dog with a capital D that would fuck anything moving.
Most of his charity to the unfortunate went unnoticed, but it was this one bitch named Rena who felt she had to go out of her way to let me know Rellz was blessing her with the dick. No matter how many times I'd fucked the stupid bitch up, her busted ass continued to fucking get at me with the bullshit. The bitch didn't know how to play her position. I was the bitch living in the mini mansion, and I was the bitch driving the Benz with the personalized license plate that said RELLZ GIRL, so the bitch needed to go sit her ugly ass down somewhere. I was sitting there watching the bitch on some bold shit. She was all in my man's face again, but I had something for that ass.
Rellz
As I was waiting on Tasha to come out, I saw this bitch, Rena, coming over toward me. I was hoping the bitch got a clue and kept walking past me, because she knew that if I was out here in the hood, I was waiting on Tasha. That meant she shouldn't even step to a nigga, but this simple bitch didn't understand this.
Just like I thought she would, Rena walked her ass right over to me. She knew Tasha was visiting her mother and would be sure to see any interaction, but she didn't care, because she believed I was just as much her man as I was Tasha's man. I kept telling the bitch otherwise, but like I said, she was a simple bitch.
"Hey, Rellz, baby. Will I see you tonight?" she asked with a smirk on her face.
"Rena, go on with that disrespectful bullshit. How many times I got to tell you, don't fucking come at me when you see me out here? You know a nigga is waiting on Tasha, so why you all up in my face?"
"Oh, so it's like that? Every time you get around this bitch, you talk reckless, but your ass wasn't saying that shit last night, nigga."
I clenched my jaw tight, trying to control my anger. I was getting sick of Rena trying to play me like I was some chump and this shit was a game. Just as I was about to slap some act right into her ass, Tasha came out of nowhere and grabbed her by her hair. Tasha started punching her in the head and anywhere else her punches would land. Tasha didn't care; she wasn't letting up until Rena went down, and that was when Tasha started stomping her. Even though Rena was on the ground, she tried to hold her own, but she was no match. Tasha was fierce with the hands. She grew up with brothers, who taught her how to handle herself in the hood.
Turk got up off the car when he saw I wasn't even attempting to break them up. He pulled Tasha off Rena, but he had a hard time holding Tasha back. She was feisty as hell. Damn right I didn't move. I had told that bitch to bounce, and Turk should have let that bitch get stomped the fuck out.
"Maybe now your ass can get some act right, you dumb bitch," I yelled at that bitch. I was mad hyped. I wanted Tasha to see that I didn't initiate anything, that I was not the reason for Rena being there, but that thought was short lived, as I turned around just in time to see Tasha coming at me to give me the same beat down she had given Rena. Turk grabbed her from behind again.
"You nasty son of a bitch! Why you keep fucking with these bird bitches? Keep those dusty bitches in check," Tasha shouted at me.
"Yo, Tash, chill the fuck out," I yelled back.
"Fuck you, nigga," Tasha replied. "Turk, get the fuck off me! Go grab that dusty nigga."
I was pissed that Rena had fucked up my plans. Tasha and I were supposed to have a date night once I handled some business. I knew Tasha was going to continue to show her ass, trying to fuck me up, but then her mom came to the door and called her inside, so it was a wrap for tonight. We all knew her mom hadn't been feeling my ass in no shape or form, so I was sure she hated my ass now.
Turk
As I let Tasha go, I couldn't help but wonder why she kept letting Rellz play her like this. Believe me, she could have any man she wanted, but just like most women, she didn't know her worth. She was smart, beautiful, and had one of those "milk does the body good" frames. She was thick in all the right places. She'd been with Rellz for, like, two years now. He and I met her at the same time. We were at this club in the Village, trying to bag some shorties for the night. When we spotted her, she was with some dyke chick and a few other cuties. I was going to step to her, but as soon as we got to the table, Rellz took it upon himself and stepped to her — even though I had just told his ass I was going to step to this shorty. But me being me, I didn't say anything to him about what he had done. It was a punk move on his part, but I let it slide. I never beefed with my boy over no female.
Rellz was my man, but this nigga had always treated sideline hoes the same as his main girl. That shit was crazy. He had none of these ratchet bitches in check. I just didn't understand how he constantly cheated on Tasha. She was every man's dream, and he was fucking up. If he was going to treat her like one of his hoes, he should have fallen back and let me bag her. This girl had been riding with him from day one — fighting bitches and forgiving him time and time again. Just like every other time, she would, without a doubt, go back home to his ass now. I walked over to Rellz once Tasha was inside her house.
"Man, why you always got these bitches thinking it's cool to be all up in your space when you know Tasha's around?" I asked him.
"Son, you saw I was about to slap that bitch before Tasha came and served that ass whupping," he said as he bent over laughing. I just looked at dude.
"Man, you're whack. Let's go handle this business and get this money."
Jai
We had just left Tasha's mom's house, and once we were in the car, I felt the need to speak my mind. Rellz's shit was getting out of hand: he had my girl out here playing herself.
"Tasha, why do you continue to put up with Rellz's ass? He's getting more disrespectful by the day. It's like he don't give a fuck about you."
She shook her head as she pulled away from the curb. "Jai, you know he wasn't always like this. I don't know what's going on with him. I've got mad bitches calling my phone, and then, every time I see this bitch Rena, she's got to let it be known she's fucking with Rellz. Jai, I'm so sick of this shit. All the money in the world isn't worth the shit I've got to deal with."
"Come on, baby girl. You wouldn't be going through this shit if your ass didn't go and fall in fucking love," I told her. "You know we're supposed to get in and get out, but now you're fucking stuck, and my fucking pockets are lint filled while you're living the life."
"Jai, I know you're fucked up right now, but a bitch looks out for you."
"That's just it,...
