Excerpt:
“Sis
we should move here! Look at these palm trees! I’ve never seen water so blue!”
Kendall yelled as she and her sister strolled lazily down the sandy beach in
Miami. “I’m sure you can move your job here, right? You’re self-employed, and
with your job you can work anywhere!”
Chyvonne
was preoccupied with thoughts of Brick. “Yea. Sure Kendall. I’ll find a realtor
tomorrow,” she replied flatly.
Kendall
stopped and watched her sister as Chyvonne continued to walk. “Chyvonne!” No
answer. “Chyvonne! Do you hear me!”
Realizing
she was walking by herself, Chyvonne stopped. “Kendall? Kendall where are...oh,
my bad. Why you stop? You ok?”
“I’m
fine. The question is what’s wrong with you? You seem to be distracted. Am I
boring you?”
“No
sis. Just worried about this mess back home. I haven’t heard anything from
Danny in a while,” Chyvonne lied. She checked her phone for the third time in
five minutes. Nothing yet. Sighing
she turned her attention to Kendall. “I’m sorry sis. We came down here to
relax, and I’m just as stressed as ever. Let’s go shopping. Maybe I’ll feel
better then.”
Kendall
ran down the beach and into the water. “We can shop anytime. This is Miami!
Let’s go swimming!”
Chyvonne
sighed. She was tired from her late night and early morning. “Let’s go change
into our suits first, then we’ll go swimming.” As she watched Kendall splash in
the water, she got a text from Brick:
12:00

12:15 p.m. Vonn: Wats tht?

u
Chyvonne
blushed, suddenly engrossed in her phone as she and Brick’s conversation
quickly turned from harmless flirting to dirty texting. Kendall snuck up behind
her and snatched her phone from her hand. “You all in this phone though!” She
scrolled through the texts and was disgusted. “Who is this Mr. Biggs? He
nasty!” she laughed, turning up her nose and handing Chyvonne back her phone.
“Girl nobody. Just another dude trying to get in my panties.” “Trying? I can’t
tell. From those texts, somebody would think that y’all been happily married
for the past three years!” Kendall laughed as they walked back to their villa
on the beach.
Back
at the villa, Kendall hurried and changed while Chyvonne stretched out across
her bed, exhausted. “I thought we were going swimming?” she whined. “You go
ahead sis. I’m still tired from yesterday.” Chyvonne muttered, tucking her head
into a pillow. She was asleep before Kendall walked out the door.
Kendall
was halfway to the beach, then stopped and headed back to the villa. She’d
forgot to lock the door. Hope ain’t
nobody walked in and stole my sister before I get back. Let me grab the key too while I’m in here,
just in case she’s still asleep when I come back. Tiptoeing into Chyvonne’s
room, she heard moaning. “Mmmm. Right there. Don’t do me like that, Bri…”
“Chyvonne!
Girl wake up! I don’t wanna hear about you and your exploits!” Kendall yelled.
Chyvonne turned to her side, still asleep. “Ooooh, yeah. Like that. Biggs you
gonna make me…AHHHH!” Chyvonne screamed, waking herself up in the process.
“Where…oh, damn. Hey Kendall. You ready?”
“You
and Mr. Biggs should be here together, not me!” Kendall scolded.
“What
are you talking about?” Chyvonne asked, worried that Kendall had gone through
her phone while she was asleep.
“You
screaming that man’s name while you sleep. You should call him and tell him to
come down here and party with us.”
Chyvonne
stopped listening after Kendall said she was screaming his name. Apparently she
wasn’t screaming Brick or Levonne, if she was Kendall might not be as calm as
she was. “Girl, I told you my clients like the privacy I provide. What I look
like inviting that man down here to party with us? That’ll be the scandal that
rocks Minnesota!” she laughed nervously.
“Well,
y’all need to do something. I’m not gonna spend my weekend listening to you
talk in your sleep about your exploits,” Kendall laughed with her.
“Girl
you crazy. I’m good now that I got that little nap in. Let’s hit the beach.”
