SNEAK PEEK FROM "YOU SHOWED ME"

Naheema noticed Mike's jacket on the floor. Mike saw what she was looking at, but she was closer to it than he was. She ran for the jacket as Mike tried to jump across the bed and get it first. But he landed the wrong way and twisted his ankle.
As Naheema picked up the jacket, her hands shook from nervousness. She prayed that Chyna's nasty words weren't true.
All Mike could do was wince in pain and wait. He didn't think her looking in his jacket would cause any harm, because he didn't have any numbers or condoms in his pockets. But he still couldn't help but wonder why she wanted it.
After looking through all of his pockets on the outside of the jacket, Naheema went to check the inside pocket. She felt something there. She took the package out of his pocket and looked at Mike for a while before opening it.
Mike was getting nervous. He didn't remember putting anything inside that pocket. Then it hit him. That bitch Chyna. He had to find a way to get Naheema to give him the package.
Naheema unfolded the letter attached to the package and started reading it out loud.
My dearest Mike,
From the time we first met, I knew we would be lovers. I never expected our relationship to last three years without some kind of commitment. I surely didn't expect that we would be ending this way either, but that's life, right, baby? We've been through a lot of ups and downs in our relationship, but I never thought in my wildest dreams that you would make me your sideline ho for that chick.

Dating a hustler was never on Naheema’s to-do list. But after the charming yet deceptive Mike sweeps her off her feet, dating a hustler is the least of her worries. Mike’s charming sweetness toward Naheema turns sour when the abuse, cheating, and his street mentality kicks in. The life of a hustler’s woman takes its toll on Naheema physically, mentally, and emotionally, taking her from a fairy tale to a horror flick. But Naheema is learning from the best, and soon the tables turn and she holds Mike’s future in her hands. Filled with action, grief, friendship, family ties, and the ultimate betrayal, You Showed Me exhibits what it means to be tried, be tested, and triumph.

Sneak Peek: Drama With a Capital D

It was an all out brawl within seconds. Fists, fake hair and earrings were flying everywhere. Cherie was actually trying to go toe to toe with me which pissed me off even more. I slammed her up against the door and knocked the wind out of her. As soon as I saw I had an advantage, I started kicking the shit out of her. For a second I thought she was screaming then I realized it was coming from behind me. When I glanced around I realized it was Reggie. He always screamed like a little bitch. He came running because he saw one of Cherie's neighbors running up on the porch to jump in. Before sista girl could even take a swing at anyone, Reggie was there in a flash with his pepper spray. I'm trying to watch him and keep Cherie on the ground at the same time. That fool ass Reggie started spraying that can like a freakin' maniac. I left Cherie's ass lying there and got the hell out of the way. Donna followed my lead and we got the hell off that porch. Lena didn't react as quickly and Reggie's dramatic, over hyped ass sprayed her too. Everybody on that porch was screaming, choking and gagging. Reggie grabbed Lena and as they stumbled down the steps, "Go start the car! Start the damn car!" He yelled at Donna.
