bickering, be nice.”
                  Skyy laughed. “That’s Jeanette’s ass thinking she “classy” for some reason.”
                  Jeanette frowned. “I’m not about to start with you tonight Skyy, whatever. You can get sloppy drunk by yourself, that’s not cute.”
                  Erin entered the living with four glasses. Sitting them on the table, she plopped down onto the couch on her stomach. “She’s right Skyy, you drink too damn much.”
                  Skyy sat on top of Erin. “No bitch, YOU drink too damn much.”
                  Jeanette laughed. “Y’all BOTH drink too damn much.” Skyy threw a couch pillow, and Jeanette dodged it. “You missed hoe.”
                  The knock on the door startled them all.  Jeanette got up to look out the peep hole, “Who is it?” she sang.
                  They heard Sasha curse then state, “It’s Sasha.” Jeanette opened the door and Sasha walked in with an apparent attitude. “Y’all play too much.”
                  Erin sighed. “Quit being so damn serious all the time.”
                  Sasha ignored her taking her jacket off and headed towards the kitchen.
                  Skyy hit Erin playfully. “You see she mad, leave her alone, you know she’s a Diva.”
                  Erin pushed her off her. “She know I’m playing.” she yelled into the kitchen. “DON’T YOU SASH?”
                  Sasha came back with bottled water and four shot glasses. “I can hear y’all talking about me, tramps.”
                  Erin laughed. “Just give me my shot glass, what you got water for?” She reached for one of the wine glasses on the table and pulled out a Swisher Sweet cigar pack. “Sasha this is what you need, this is happiness right here. You always serious jones, lighten up.”
                  Sasha plumped down on the love seat and kicked her tennis shoes off. “With the kinda fucked up day I’ve had? You’d be serious too.” She rested her head back and closed her eyes.
                  Jeanette sat Indian style on the floor in the front of the table. “You ok?”
                  Sasha shrugged. “Let me calm down. It’s just a lot weighing on me, and Shawn’s ass is not helping.”
                  Erin sparked her blunt, took a drag, and put it out. “So what’s up Skyy, you just had to have us over tonight, what’s going on?” she asked taking a sip of her wine.
                  Skyy sighed and looked at her friends. “Promise yall won’t judge me.”
                  Jeanette now alert; sat up straight. “What did you do?”
                  Skyy shook her head. “Remember when I was telling y’all I been kicking it with this new dude? And we really like each other, like he understands me, we vibe so well.”
                  Sasha opened her eyes. “Yea, what about him?”
                  Erin lit her blunt again. “Aw shit, she pregnant.”
                  Skyy cut her eyes at Erin. “No, I’m not pregnant.” She took a brief dramatic pause, then took a drink from her glass, and continued. “It’s just that “him” … is a “her”.
                  Erin laughed. “Bitch, shut up.”
                  Skyy gave Erin a serious look, and she stopped laughing, “You for real?”
                  Skyy stood up. “I’m not a lesbian or nothing, we just be kicking it, you know, hanging out with some of her peoples, or like taking Skylar to the movies or out to eat. We’re not a couple or nothing like that.”
                  Jeanette spoke up. “Skyy, if you like women, don’t be ashamed. We all like what we like.”
                  Sasha was next. “If y’all just kicking
