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.

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.

POET'S CORNER

POETS CORNER
“My love”
By Nahisha McCoy

Love is a two way street that travels in opposite directions coming together to make one great intersection. My love for you is sincere. My love for you will never tire or tear. My love for you is unconditional and cancels out the feelings of fear. My love for you will never waiver, that's why I need you near. My love for you is joyous when life is so precious with no time to spare,
My love for you is breath taking, as I listen to my heart beat every time that you are near. My love for you is strong so there are times when my problems are not a matter of care. My love is not for sale so if my heart is broken, there is no glue that can be purchased to make repairs. My love is honest and giving so I'm asking you to spare, the time and energy needed to make our relationship as strong as god's spare.
My love is not to be taken for granted, when I give it to you, because I care. My love is creative, designing mountains out of moll hills, praying that you will hear. My love is tender in my time of fear. My love is all yours, so wrap yourself up in its rapture and except the legs that I give you as your chair. My love will stand for you when you push me away because of fear.My love is a destination traveling on a two- way street so follow the directions, because together we can make a great intersection from the love that is within me, if only you are willing to dig real deep. My Love is like a two-way street that’s traveling in your direction, hoping and praying that we will come together as one to make a great big intersection.
