they don’t have the UV at this salon I need to go back over to Hype Nails for that. The nextthing I know I heard this girl saying how happy she is about her baby and how her man Anthonyis so excited that he is finally having a baby girl because he already has a son. My ears begin toget larger as I hear the name Anthony. She is explaining this to her friend who obviously camewith her to the salon. I turn to her and ask her how far along she is and she tells me six months.”My blood pressure began to thicken, boil and run over because I definitely knew where thisinformation was leading to. “WHAT” I screamed into Candy’s ear. “Dang girl you are about totear my ear off, she then goes on to say that he gave her money to get her hair, nail and toes done because he wants her up to par at all times pregnant or not”. As I sit there a little while longer Irealize that this is not my Anthony because my Anthony doesn’t even have money to get my hair,nails and feet done. Hell, he doesn’t even have money to get his own damn hair cut I pay for thatnow since he has been laid off.“Girl, this is serious” Candy’s voice lowered as she asked me if I was sitting. “I am sitting whatthe hell is going on Candy”. “Treasure, once I got to the pedicure chair, June Lee put themassager on and I look for my essence magazine in my bag. As I begin to read about my manObama and his family, I look up and see who else, Anthony strolling into the salon. He didn’tsee me because I took the magazine and put it over to my face. He had his back turned to meTreasure.” Okay now my blood pressure was boiled over and the lid was off the pot. “What elseCandy, What else” my voice elevated and I was now screaming. “Treasure I kept the magazinecovered while June Lee insisted on me picking a color. I motioned to her to just do the pedicureI will figure out a color later. In the meanwhile, I overheard Anthony talking to this girl. . Hetold her he wanted to drive her home before he made his runs.” Okay I know this is a damn lie.Anthony doesn’t have a car. “Candy, Anthony doesn’t have a car.” I blasted on Candy as if shewere a five year old lying to her mother. “Treasure, I saw Anthony pull up to the nail salon in a brand new BMW 7 series. Not the 1 series or 3 series a 7 series. What is Anthony into?” This isdefinitely a bold face lie “Candy, why the hell are you lying to me? Are you jealous of myrelationship with Anthony because you don’t have a man? This is a sick way to try to make me break up with him.” Candy began to gasp then went on “Treasure wake up, don’t you get it,Anthony is playing you and it is not going to be long before this blows up in his face and thetime is now. The pregnant girl told him that she would be done in ten minutes. He kissed her andtold her he would be back in exactly ten minutes”. Candy began to lower her voice and she began to sound really serious.“Treasure that is not the end of it, I have more.” Large pellets of sweat began to beat down myhead and newly relaxed hair was about to snap back. “There is more to this sick story, I don’twant to hear it.” “Well you are going to hear it”. Candy shot back with severe force in her voicethat would cut me with a razor if I were in her presence. “I realized this was my chance to get pertinent information about this girl because you cannot go on assumption” I calmed downagain as I know that Candy was watching my back like she had done for years and usually Ihated the information but she was watching out for me unlike most of the jealous bitches I knew.“Go ahead Candy, continue” I said with a sigh. “Treasure I began to question her but not tosound nosy. I asked her how far along she was again and she said 6 months, I asked her abouther and the father are they close and she confidently said “yes, he loves me very much and weare getting married in Vegas before the baby is born that is why I am getting myself all dolledup”.

That was a really good read. The content flowed smoothly. I was very intrigued by the switch in point of view. Treasure was interesting and emotional, as women are. There was something more coherent about Anthony that I liked.
