Coming Soon...

 The music was so loud the vibrations sent chills down my spine

Mo: Let’s go to the bar

Bee-Bee: Okay

We head towards the bar.

Unknown guy: You looking good in that dress. You gotta let me buy you a drink.

The guy was so close to Mo I thought we were going to have to plan a baby shower.

Unknown guy: So what are you drinking?

Mo: An apple martini

Unknown guy: Hey. Give the lady what she want.

The bartender begins to fix drinks

While the bartender fixes the drinks I notice a short guy walking towards us. It looked like he was staring at Bee-Bee’s chest but he was small so I really didn’t know the difference.

Small guy: Excuse me, wanna dance

Bee-Bee: No but you can buy me a drink

Small guy: Buy you a drink? Them drinks $8. I don’t even know you like that

Bee-Bee: And you never will. Please leave.

Small guy: Man ain’t nobody trying to holla at you anyway

Little man walks off pissed while another guy approaches. I mean we just got here. We haven’t even had time to wet our throats and its already starting to jump off.

Unknown guy 2: Excuse me was he bothering you?

Bee-Bee: Not really

Unknown guy 2: Can I

Bee-Bee: Yes you can

Unknown guy 2: You didn’t let me finish the question

Bee-Bee: Doesn’t matter. The answer is yes.

Lord have mercy. Now the guy who approached Bee-Bee was absolutely gorgeous. He was fair skinned. He looked about 5’11. Broad shoulders. White teeth. Clean shoes. Dark wavy hair and clean nails. To sum it up: whoever you think is fine that’s who he look like. Why in the world didn’t he pick me?

Unknown guy 2: We can get drinks later. Let’s dance

He looked so good I started to say okay

Bee-Bee: Okay (Don’t wait up she whispers to me as she and Mr. Gorgeous disappear through the crowd on the dance floor).

I started to tell her don’t she wait up. But I didn’t want to be no hater. Then all of a sudden the DJ started playing my song “Smack Sum, Drop Sum.” I headed to the dance floor. By the time I got to the drop sum part I had at least five guys trying to dance with me. Man these shorts are a hit.

Mo: Hey

Dia: Whats up Mo? Where’s your friend?

Mo: He went to the bathroom.  They are jamming in here tonight.

Dia: I know.

Mo: Where is Bee-Bee?

Dia: I will tell you later.

Suddenly we hear people arguing behind us

Mo: What in the world is going on?

DJ: Yo, Yo, Yo. Fellas, ya’ll take that outside

Dia: Who knows? Probably some clowns arguing over a girl. It looks like they leaving.

Mo: Oh. Turn up DJ (She yells)

The DJ then plays that one song at the club that gets people rowdy. He played “Slap that Fool.” The club went crazy. Then…the unthinkable. Gun shots were fired. I went down.

Mo: Dia!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
