Laila’s eyes widened and she almost choked on her Apple Martini , she had no Idea about Ebony's situation since she was more into her Work than her sister's lives these days .

" Yeah! Who Ms. Can't be stressed now, damn sure not my ass & My Brother making it no better with His Drug issues . I swear that Man is getting thinner day by day" Ebony shook her head in embarrassment

" You haven't noticed? Well he's been on that stuff for Quite some time, I keep Telling Mama Char stop doing that shit with him but They grown and I was taught to stay out of grown folk business. Besides My Brother immature ass ain't gon listen to nobody"

Laila almost fainted. She wanted to faint . Did she hear Ebony correctly? Her own mother sharing the drugs he's addicted to? That would explain their little Secret meet and greet every time Char had a family dinner. But why would Mama Char do that? It was one thing to be doing drugs by yourself, but to be doing drugs with your Ex husband Son ? Something wasn't right. Laila was confused as hell and she knew it read all over her face when Tasha asked

" girl you ok? You look like you swallowed a bug! "

But Laila was in a daze , she got up excused herself telling the girls she felt sick . She basically ran to the bathroom. Inside she starred at herself in the mirror , her Makeup still intact her hair still as beautiful as she did it but her face was puzzled. She was confused by what her life was playing out to be, and what Ebony had just said made it no better. There she was as Beautiful as they come but she wasn't getting no younger at 24 she did want a family and to be married . But with Mikey it wasn't going to happen , hell Laila didn't want it to. She was fed up with his ass, they barely had sex anymore and when they did it was always in his nasty ass car. He wasn't doing her any good and his Drug problem was out of control . Laila couldn't believe her Mother and him was doing Drugs after all this time, Instantly she got furious to the thought and pulled out her phone to call Mikey .

" La, Wassup you calling to ride this dick" he spoke clearly

" Excuse me? I'm not a hoe and I won't be fucking your dirty ass ever again. When was you going to inform me that you and my Mother was drug buddies?" She yelled as loud as she could causing all the other girls to walk out the bathroom

" Bitch what I tell you about being nosey. For your damn information your mother and I do business, you know the ol' pay off reward thing " Mikey laughed from over the phone

" I swear to God if you call me another Bitch ima fuck your ass up! What the fuck you talking about pay off reward thing? The hell you doing giving her drugs?" She Spat sending spit out her mouth she was talking so fast

Mikey laughed for a while then managed to get out

" Ask your damn Mama" and hung up the phone

" Ugghhh I can't stand his ass" Laila said stuffing her phone back into her White clutch and hurrying through the bathroom double doors . As she walked pass she bumped someone and before she could turn to say excuse me the Voice said

"Excuse yourself Ms. Morgan"

Immediately , Laila knew who it was . She was smiling before she even turned around to reply

" My apologies Mr. Johnson , I wasn't paying attention. What brings you here tonight" ?

He put his drink on a coaster a waitress was walking around with and walked closer to her

" I can't have a life besides that office of yours can I "? He Jokingly Questioned.

" Shutup. I meant why all the way out here in Brooklyn"?

" Well besides the fact that this is the Hottest club on Saturday nights, my Girlfriend actually suggested we come" Elijah Coughed and pointed to a woman at the bar

From what Laila saw, she had nothing on her looking like she stepped right out of Nelly's Hot in here video but she calmly nodded to his gesture .

" Your Girlfriend huh? You'll have to Excuse me, tell her I said Hi please , I have to get back to my Friends bye Mr. Johnson see you Monday" Laila waved and sashayed away as gracefully as she could trying to hide the fact that him having a girlfriend made her upset.

She returned to the table only to see she was alone . Both Ebony and Tasha were hugged up on some men on the dance floor . So she sat & ordered another Martini and another and another until her body felt free.she got up from the table and escorted herself to the dance floor After her 7th one . The DJ was playing lil Kim's Lighter up and this was Laila’s jam!

The crowd went wild when Laila started popping her ass and moving her hips in a way that made her look like the song was made for her. Ebony & Tasha both yelled in encouragement "You goooo La" they waved they hands and rapped along to Queen bee.

The DJ switched the song to Keri Hilson's make love and the couples matched up accordingly when the DJ said it was for The lovers only

" Im sitting down, this ain't where it's at" Tasha complained and headed for their booth as Ebony went in the opposition to the bar , but Laila was feeling whatever song due to how many drinks she had . She began moving her hips from side to side and twirled to the slow sensual beat. She felt hands on her waist and someone pull her closer she turned and saw it was Elijah, she eyed him from head to toe. She didn't notice his attire before but this nigga was Fly . He had on all black, from his Black Button up that he had rolled up to his elbows, black Cargos that Laila could tell was right out of the Gucci store and Black Gucci sneakers to match . His Black on Black Rolex on his wrist complimented his wardrobe well

Laila licked her lips and smiled, she wanted to ask where his tore up girlfriend was but instead she took the chance to dance .

He got behind her and let her take control , The song was very sexy and he was excited to see what moves Laila had now since he'd been watching her from across the club after she walked off

Laila rotated her ass in the center of his jeans to the sexual beat, she grab the back of his neck for support and grinded into him as if they really were having sex .

" Relax Ms. Morgan" he warned as he spun her around now face to face they started moving pelvis to pelvis moving their feet only am inch and their hips into eachother .Laila was getting turned on by how good he smelled . It was almost overwhelming , but very pleasant . She inhaled as he backed her up for her solo , she dip down then slowly wiggled back up rubbing on her curves while looking into his eyes . Elijah couldn't help but bite his lip, she was so damn Sexy and he couldn't help but try to imagine what the rest of her body looked like .

The song was over and They both laughed it off as if nothing ever happened

" Thanks for the dance Ms. Morgan" He said in her ear as they hugged for goodbyes

" Thankyou . Shouldn't you be getting back to your Girlfriend I'm sure she's done Bar hopping" she said in a Slur

They both gave each other a smile.

Laila didn't know what it meant but on the other hand Elijah liked her smart mouth low key.

EBONY

Ebony kept further investigations to herself and failed to mention to her sisters that She'd been following Charles to Hotels and restaurants for the past 4 days since Saturday when the girls all went out. She had alot of free time since Yasin and malcome were at Ebony's mothers house for the week and Sunday dinner was canceled because Mama Char was sick with food poisoning . Ebony didn't wanna bother Laila with her bullshit knowing Laila was busy packing and getting ready for her business trip this Thursday or Tasha who was always spending her days and nights at the Stip club . It was something Ebony had to do on her own, it was embarrassing enough having her man cheat on her she didn't need pitty. It was 2 pm when Ebony watched Charles sleep beside her . Her house was silent.She wanted to ring Charles damn neck as he breathed peacefully next to her as if nothing was wrong . But she had to go about it as if all was well, Her Mother Always taught her Never to React on feelings because your actions will be sloppy and Ebony wanted her plan to leave his ass in order. She got up from the bed and went into her bathroom , Her tile floors were cold just the way Ebony liked , she turned on the shower and was startled by a ringing phone .she wrapped herself in a near by towel and tip toed to where the ringing was coming from . Charles's bathroom closet once again, in the same basket layed the phone she had found the last time . Another message popped on the screen when she flipped it open .

" Change of plans baby . Come to my crib , the one on 43rd in Queens not my rental can't wait to see you " followed by a kissy face

Ebony was furious! The address looked familiar but thought nothing of it. Her feelings flew to her lips , she threw the phone back into the basket and proceeded to bedroom where Charles was .

"Who the fuck was the bitch I seen you with, Huh Charles who the fuck was that" she yelled hitting him with a pillow while trying to hold up her towel

Charles woke up rubbing his eyes confused and startled

" Don't you see I'm tryna sleep Ebony go some fucking where with that bullshit " he yelled back still groggy

" Ima go somewhere all right! Fuck you trying to rest . Was you trying to rest while you was with that bitch you spend so much time with" Ebony yelled kicked and scream her towel now dropped

She was fed up . She knew her Husband was cheating . He knew he was cheating . Ebony just wanted him to Admit it and get it over with

" Bitch stop hitting me. Are you fucking crazy ? I'm a grown ass man I can go where I want, and do what I want . I pay the bills in this bitch Get the fuck off me" He mushed her causing her to fall over .

Charles was 300+ but built and Cocky something Ebony liked but now it was a sudden hate.

" Nigga Put your hands on me again and did you just call me a Bitch? CHARLES IM YOUR WIFE Ima call my Brother to beat your ass . You a grown man? Nigga I can't tell you don't take care of your wife or your son like 1 let alone Fuck me like a Man shittttt you don't fuck me at all.

Charles got up and stood over here
