Ratchet Bitches 2 by Tiece Page B

up guy that he has become inside and outside of the church.”
    “Well, that was nice.”
    “It was,” Janay agreed. “His aunt always shows me love and so does his father. I must even admit that Mrs. Carter was being on her best behavior. I didn’t see any signs of her being sneaky or conniving, up until Heather showed up.”
    “Don’t tell me that she invited the ex-girlfriend over for the dinner, too.”
    “She did and then tried to act like she was clueless when I flipped out. Can you believe that they had Finn and Heather seated next to each other and me sitting across from my own husband.”
    “They did what?” Lauren questioned.
    “You heard me and it pissed me off. Before we could sit and eat, I was already talking shit and was ready to go. I grabbed my baby out of Mrs. Carter’s arms, said a few unsavory things to her, and then demanded to leave right away.”
    Lauren took in a deep breath then let it out. She was shocked to say the least. “I can’t believe you showed off like that. How many people were there?”
    “I don’t know, maybe fifteen to twenty guests.” Janay said, now feeling extra bad for showing off in such an unladylike way.
    “My goodness, Sis,” Lauren said.
    “Now Finn is blowed with me,” she said. “I’ve never seen him this upset. He’s fussing about me being insecure in our marriage. He claims that he doesn’t even look at Heather like that and can’t understand what my problem is. My problem is his mother.”
    “Yeah, but Sis you need to calm that shit down. You got yourself a good thing there, don’t blow it. We’re not as lucky as you are in finding a good husband that’s in the church. He loves you and he adores Brison. You need to chill and trust him when he says that he doesn’t want that heifa Heather.”
    “I know, but it’s so hard when she shows up all touchy feely, wanting to hug on him and making smart remarks about them being together. I just exploded and I know I was wrong.”
    “Yes, you were and you need to apologize to his mom. You actually owe a few people an apology.”
    Janay shook her head. She knew she needed to apologize, but she hated to do it. It truly irked her nerves just to even think about it. Lauren could hear the microwave buzz in the background.
    “What are you warming up?” Lauren asked.
    “Finn did bring me some of the Chicken Gumbo that his aunt had cooked last night, since I didn’t get to eat any after showing my ass.”
    “Hell, I’m surprised that she sent you a plate.”
    “Well, his aunt is nice and she has already called to make sure that I was good. She did apologize about the mix up and didn’t know how Finn and Heather ended up by each other nor did she know why Heather showed up there. Instead of throwing her sister under the bus, she just pretended to not know what was going on. ”
    “Well, you know what that means.”
    “I do, but I don’t even want to mention it to Finn because he ain’t trying to hear nothing right now. Especially, if he feels like I’m gonna be dogging his mom or accusing her of anything.”
    “Then you need to chill out. Call her and apologize and try to let it go. She may be in the wrong, but you’re giving her exactly what she wants by acting the way you are. You don’t know it, but you’re pushing Finn right in the direction she wants him in. He’ll go running to her first as soon as things become rocky in your house, and guess who’ll be there waiting?”
    “Heather,” Janay said. “You’re right. I’ll play nice and get my man back on my side.”
    “Good,” Lauren said. “Never give her the satisfaction of seeing you sweat.”
    Janay grabbed her bowl of Chicken Gumbo out of the microwave. “You’re right, Sis. I’m glad I called you. I’m gonna sit back and eat this good ass food then I’ll call Mrs. Carter to apologize for my behavior last night.”
    “Please do and take it easy. Don’t you have a doctor’s appointment coming up?”
    “On Monday,”
