mega star Jamaica Tiera Rochelle. Kenya was just as talented, and even more gorgeous, than her older sister. Fortunately, she was able to escape the grasp of their mother, who had been preoccupied with Jamaica. Kenya had been able to go her own way.
    â€œShe’s coming down later,” Jamaica explained. “She told me to give you all her love, and to tell you that she misses you.”
    Jemia smiled. “We had so much fun this summer, you wouldn’t believe it! She told me that she was going to come back down this winter so that we could get some private time in, before the sorority sisters got here. We’re all meeting here, and then heading for the beach on South Padre Island.”
    Jamaica tilted her head to the side. “Beach, islands, sand, sounds wonderful.” She turned toward LaChina. “Christmas should be spent somewhere tropical.”
    â€œC’mon, let’s get your luggage, I have a porter waiting,” Jemia told them. She interlocked one of her arms inside of Jamaica’s, and the other inside of LaChina’s arm.
    â€œI have so much to tell you, and we have so much to catch up on,” Jemia told them, as she led them off in the direction of her waiting porter. “Jai, what was that you were wearing on stage at the awards? It was stunning…”

    T ameer darted left, and then reversed himself and twisted to the right. The basketball landed dead center inside of the rusted, aluminum, garbage can and rolled around noisily inside.
    â€œYeah, boy!” Tameer shouted. “I’ma take you to the hoop.”
    Tameer’s smile was genuine, as was his brother Savion’s. Savion jogged quickly to the brown spot on the lawn that played host to the garbage can, and retrieved the tattered leather ball. Bouncing it rapidly on the cracked, pebble-paved street, he dared his older brother to take it away.
    â€œCome on with it,” Savion taunted. “You want this, come and get it.”
    With that, a quick fake to the right, followed by a spin to his left, he was off. Savion’s six-foot-eight-inch height, stretched over a lanky two hundred and twenty-pound frame, allowed him to outmaneuver his six-foot-five, two hundred and fifteen-pound brother. His shot landed dead center, knocking the badly beaten garbage can over onto its side.
    â€œYes!” Savion leaped into the air, pounding his fist.
    â€œShit!” Tameer’s labored laugh flowed out between his heavy breaths. He placed his arm around his younger brother and smiled. “I taught you too good.”
    The brothers’ laughter came to an abrupt end, leaving only their smiles, when a convertible Mustang GT pulled up. The car was magnificent.
    The Mustang’s burgundy paint glistened like wet marble, while the chrome twenty-two-inch wheels sticking out from beneath the wheel wells gleamed brilliantly in the beaming South Texas sun. The Mustang’s ground effects kit included not only lowered side skirts and front and rear air dams, but a massive burgundy whale tail that added a dramatic flair to the vehicle. The car screamed money.
    The two occupants were shirtless, revealing heavily illustrated torsos that were draped in gold jewelry. Their smiles sparkled brightly in the sunlight, revealing gold and diamond teeth that looked as though their teeth were worth a fortune. Raising his arms high into the air, the driver spoke first.
    â€œWhat’s up, Tameer?” Anthony asked. “What’s up, Savion?”
    Still breathing heavily, Tameer stepped forward. “What’s up, homie?”
    Savion, entranced by the massive chrome rims, patrolled the car’s perimeter, examining every inch of its beauty. When finished, he peered up at the driver.
    â€œSay, Anthony, your shit is cleaner than a mother fucker!” Savion told him.
    The compliment caused Anthony to sit up a little high in his seat.
