Faces of the Game
part, hold on” Ash said to let Chelle know that she wasn’t trying to be rude.  Chelle went back into the kitchen, she couldn’t even look at the television long enough to know what was going on in the movie.  She grabbed all the lemons she had squeezed and threw them in the trash; she wiped the counter top off with a wet dish cloth and poured out the water that was in the pot.  She went back outside to flip the wings over.  She came back inside and got the salad out put it in a bowl, cut up some turkey meat put it on top of the salad, put sunflower seeds over it and sat it in the middle of glass table that sat in the kitchen.  She went back outside to flip the wings again and went back inside to set the table.  She got two plates out, two bowls, some forks and glasses, just then her phone rang.  She ran into the bedroom just to find out that it wasn’t him again.  It was her cousin Vae, “What’s up bitch?” Vae said into the phone.  “Hey” Chelle said in a monotone.  “What the hell is wrong with you?”  Vae asked.  “Nothing” “whatever, where are you at?”  “Chip’s house” “Oh can you talk?” “Yeah bitch, what is it?”  Chelle said aggravated that Vae was trying to play her like she couldn’t talk around him.  “Girl why did Sug’s baby mama just call me talking about they were engaged, and she asked me how long we been talking and how old was I, have we ever had sex girl the whole nine”.  “What did you say?”  Chelle asked.  “I told the bitch to ask him and to never call my phone again asking questions about her so called fiancé, that bitch started going off about how she tried to confront me woman to woman and blah blah; girl I hung up in that bitches face”  Vae said sort of hyped up but pissed off.  “So, did you ask him about it?”  “Girl that mother fucker said that the bitch is lying, they don’t even talk like that and she is crazy .”  “Oh man, that’s what they all say just watch that ass, and make him pay for her playing on your phone; you know the Christian Louboutin red bottom shoe collection is out”  “girl and you know I have to get me a pair, I know all of them are bad”  “Yep, but I will call you so we can finish this conversation later, make that nigga pay for your feelings”  “Alight girl, bye” Vae said and hung up the phone.  Chelle went back outside with a pan to put the chicken on, she let the grill go out and went back inside.  “Ash, come eat” she yelled into the living room as she got out the ranch salad dressing, the lemonade and the glasses.  “Umm look at you trying to cook”  “Trying? Child I am the best cook on the North side right now!”  Chelle said laughing.  They both fixed their plates and begin eating.  The food was so good, Chelle forgot about Chip for a good five minutes.  The salad was delicious, the chicken was mouthwatering and the lemonade was out of this world.  “Girl, you should have gone to cooking school” Ash said trying not to talk with her mouth full.  “I know right” Chelle said knowing her food was delicious.  “Who was that on the phone?”  Ash asked.  “Girl Vae, telling me about this boy”.  “Oh what time are you going back to Greensboro?”  “I guess at about 9:30, why?”  “Just asking, I know you start back classes tomorrow” Ash said, reminding Chelle just in case she had forgotten.  “I know girl, I hope Chip knows that I am not staying here until he gets back; if he’s not back by nine I will see him later”  Chelle said hoping he would walk in at any minute.  “I know that’s right, school comes first at all times” Ash agreed with her.  They continued to eat their food and chit chat for a while longer.  “I’m going to leave the dishes in the sink so he will know that two people ate, he is going to go crazy trying to figure out who the hell was in his house” Chelle said laughing.  “Heck yeah, then he going to blow your
