“We did it!”, Scola exclaimed as he gave Deja a pound once they climbed in his ride after walking past Nokio’s ride and giving him and the guys a head nod that things had gone well.
“Yeah, but I feel so sorry for Mimi, though.”, she replied as a solemn look came over her face as she looked out of the window. “She shouldn’t put up with a man’s crap like that!”
“Yeah, whateva! Like some of yall females don’t play games too!”, Scola replied as he began to call Nokio while pulling out into the busy noon traffic.
However, Deja didn’t respond to his comment. Instead, she was thinking to herself that she couldn’t blame Mimi for dealing with Rongdewing though. “I mean, juss look at the man for cryin’ out loud! Wait…hold up, Day! You know momma taught you betta’ than this!”, she scolded herself. “Did you forget that the worth of a man ain’t juss based on his looks only; if he’s ugly and cold on the inside then the outside won’t even matta! Dang, momma, you are so right; besides, I have a sexy, intelligent, kind, sweet man in Noke. Ummmppphhh! This wig has gotta be too tight on my head; it’s makin’ me lose all the good sense that God has blessed me wit’!”
“Deja!!! What’s wrong wit’chu, man?! I’ve called you at least 3 times now! Is that wig too tight fo’ yo’ tank or what?!!!”, Scola shouted in order to get her attention as he held the phone away from his ear. Nokio was on the other end of the line waiting to speak with her. He and Scola had been discussing what had happened in the meeting.
“Huh? Nah, I’m aight! I was juss thinkin’ ‘bout somethin’, that’s all.”, she replied with a shrug of her shoulders. “What were you sayin’?”
Scola rolled his eyes as he pulled up to a stoplight and put the phone back to his ear. “Man, I’ono what kind of effect you have been havin’ on her lately, but she’s getting stranger by the minute! Hold up…here she is.” Scola passed his phone to her.
Smiling brightly, she put the phone up to her ear. “W’sup, boo!”
“W’sup, Day! I hear you were workin’ it out in that meetin’!”, Nokio joked.
“Yeah, well you know how Deja does thangs!”, she chuckled. “Hopefully, his sorry butt will call me up this evening for a date or whateva. Then we can all take him down!”
“True, but don’t get caught up in his game. Sco’ told me that he’s a pretty muphucca!”, Nokio laughed as well as the others with him. Deja heard them cutting up in the background.
“Anyway…”, Deja laughed back. “You don’t have anything to worry about.”, she reassured him.
“Is that right?”, Nokio asked with a wide grin as he lowered his voice so the guys wouldn’t hear him.
“Yeah, boo-boo.”, she smiled as she turned her back to Scola so he couldn’t hear the rest of her conversation.
“Don’t be doin’ that 900 number sh!t with him on my phone, yo!”, Scola teased when he noticed how she was whispering into the phone with her back to him.
“Boy, juss shut up and drive! This is grown folks’ talk!”, she snapped at him over her shoulder before continuing her conversation with Nokio.

A little while later, everyone gathered for lunch at a popular restaurant a few miles away from the city. They were going to discuss the next step in their plan to take Rongdewing down once he called Deja to set up a date with her.
The entire time they were having lunch, their waitress, Lena kept flirting with Sisqo who was enjoying every minute of it. She was a brown-skinned cutie in cornrows and she was dressed in a tasteful but tight black dress.
“Uh oh…looks like someone has an admirer!”, Deja stated while giving Sisqo a wink when Lena had left the table after flirting with him for a 3rd or 4th time.
“And so does she!”, he chuckled as he turned around to watch her walking away. “Man, look at the legs! It oughta be a law!”
“So you gonna get that or what?”, Jazz asked with a sly grin after Sisqo had turned back around.
“Now would I really be me if I didn’t?!”, Sisqo answered with a wide grin.
“Oh lawd! Here we go!”, Deja laughed with a roll of her eyes.
But just like Sisqo predicted, before they had left, he had switched numbers with Lena and left her a very nice tip.
“I guess I should be used to the fact, by now, that I’m surrounded by a buncha macks!”, Deja joked as she walked with them through the parking lot to head to their rides.
“And you know this, man!”, Woody laughed.
“Whateva!”, she replied as she and Nokio climbed in his ride to head back to her place since it was closer than Dru’s headquarters en route home.
The rest of the guys decided to hang out for the afternoon.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Catching up on some much needed sleep from the last few days and nights, Deja and Nokio decided to take an afternoon nap soon after arriving at her place. They had been sound asleep for about an hour or so when her celly started ringing. But being that he was so groggy and out of it, Nokio was thinking that it was the alarm clock going off. He reached over and began pressing the snooze button. Meanwhile, Deja was still snoring like it wasn’t no thang. It took a lot to wake her up once she was asleep.
Nokio became frustrated when he noticed that the ringing noise wouldn’t stop though. “Dammitt, shut up!!!”
Deja was awakened by his shouting and realized that her phone was ringing. Quickly rubbing sleep from her eyes, she reached in her open purse that was on the floor and grabbed her phone.
“Oh.”, Nokio chuckled when he realized where the noise was coming from.
“Crazy!”, she giggled as she looked down at her screen to see who was calling. It was Rongdewing. “Oh sh!t! It’s him!”, she whispered to Nokio before clearing her throat and answering her phone.
“Hello?”, she answered in a sultry voice.
“Hi there! I couldn’t wait until tonight to call you. I wanted to know if you were up to going out with me this evening.”, he replied.
“Mmmmm…well since I don’t have anything planned for tonight, sure, why not! How about meeting me at Diamond’s around eightish?”, Deja asked as she glanced back at Nokio who was now wide awake and resting his chin on her shoulder so he could hear what Rongdewing was saying.
“Why meet you there when I can have my limo pick you up from your place?”, Rongdewing asked with a bit of skepticism in his voice.
“Because that’s juss my way! I don’t know you like that yet and until I do, you have to play by my rules! Now take it or leave it!”, she joked.
“Ohhhh…I see. Well if that’s the way you want it, I have no problem with this arrangement.”, Rongdewing chuckled. “Until then, adios, mi Cheri amour!”
When Nokio heard this, his eyes widened as he and Deja looked at one another. He couldn’t get out of the bed fast enough to run to the other side of the room so he could laugh his ass off.
“Allllllllrighty then…ummm, c’ya!”, Deja stated as she struggled to hold in her laughter while watching Nokio lose it. She quickly hung up her phone without waiting for a response from Rongdewing.
“Man, how that silly ass punk gonna be mixin’ up all those languages like that?! Sounds like he’s two steps outta the ghetto his damn self!”, Nokio laughed as he ran back to the bed and collapsed on it.
“I know right!”, she laughed. “Awww man! I hope I can make it through the evening with ol’ boy without losin’ it if he says somethin’ else that crazy!”
“You will.”, Nokio stated as a few more chuckles escaped his lips. “Maybe it won’t take too long for us to take care of him.”
After their brief conversation, they both fell back asleep with the quickness for a few more hours.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Mimi was packing her things to leave when she heard an old song by her former boyfriend on the radio.
“Ohhhhh, I remember when he was the man back in the day!”, she sighed as she flopped down on Rongdewing’s custom-made waterbed. She threw her arms around herself as she thought about the foolish mistake she had made when she dumped him. “If I had stayed with him, maybe he would still be on top!” She was fooling herself big time with that thought, though.
The reason why he was no longer on top was because he had refused to pay Rongdewing another penny when he found out that Rongdewing was keeping all of the profits from his record/clothing line sales and television endorsements. Not to mention that everyone from fans to music industry officials lost all respect for this former star when Rongdewing revealed that he wasn’t really from the streets after their disagreement had escalated. Instead, he came from a very sheltered life and always had everything given to him. So in no way, shape, fashion, or form was he the grimy individual he portrayed in his music videos and songs.
After sitting through his song while reminiscing on their good times together, Mimi got up and finished packing her belongings. “I gotta get away from here! I’ve put up with Rong’s sh!t long enough! If that sorry chick wants him, she can have him!”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“Yeah, but I feel so sorry for Mimi, though.”, she replied as a solemn look came over her face as she looked out of the window. “She shouldn’t put up with a man’s crap like that!”
