we’re happy for you. Next; Sasha what’s up, we know you got something new, just by the way you stomped in.” she laughed.
Erin came back with a Grey Goose bottle and a piece of chicken.
Jeanette shook her head in disappointment. “Erin, don’t nobody want hard liquor, and y’all at each other’s necks enough. I don’t have time for you two to be fighting.”
Sasha agreed. “I’m with Jeanette, plus I have to go home and deal with Shawn and I need to be fully aware.”
Skyy reached for a shot as Erin poured them. “Well give me theirs.” She took a shot and slammed the glass playfully on the table.
Erin grinned. “Now that’s what I’m talking about.”
“It’s only going on seven, and y’all are going to be sloppy drunk. That’s sad.” Jeanette said.
Erin poured four shots, handed Skyy two, and kept the other two for her. Both women took the shots, and Erin poured four more, and then turned to Sasha ignoring Jeanette. “So why do you have to be fully aware around Shawn?”
Sasha grabbed her wine glass and took a small sip. “Because, he’s been on a baby rampage, and I don’t need any slip ups.”
“He’s still on that?” Jeanette asked.
“Yes, he’s really starting to get on my nerves.”
Skyy took her second set of shots. “I don’t understand what the holdup is. You love him, he loves you, and y’all live together…been together for years, so I’m not understanding. The only thing y’all missing is a baby.” she pointed out.
Sasha shook her head no defiantly. “No, the only thing that’s missing is an engagement ring.” She held up her ring finger. “I’m not about to be just a baby mama, no offense Skyy and Nette.”
“None taken.” Jeanette said raising her glass.
Sasha continued, “I want much more than that. What’s wrong with setting standards and sticking to them?”
Skyy shrugged her shoulders. “I feel you, and did you tell him that?”
“Skyy, I shouldn’t have to tell him. He knows or at least he should.” she stressed.
Erin took her shots. “So besides you wanting a ring, which is totally understandable, what is it?”
Sasha stared at Erin, she hated when she did that. Erin always had to dig deep. She finally responded. “That’s it, I want my damn ring.”
Erin shrugged her shoulders. “OK, then.”
Jeanette spoke. “You’re going to get your ring. Is that why you came in here mad?”
Sasha got mad all over again. “Sort of, I went job hunting today.”
Erin gave a surprised look. “What.”
“Yep, I’m looking for a job.” Sasha said.
Skyy pouted. “You and Shawn having problems? Y’all got the most perfect relationship to me.”
Sasha disagreed. “Nothing’s perfect. But it’s nothing major. I just want my own money and it’s just harder than I thought. I haven’t had a job in four years, so it’s frustrating, but I’ma figure it out.”
Jeanette encouraged her. “Just be patient, it’ll come.”
Skyy agreed with her. “Right, my job is hiring, I can get you on.”
Sasha turned her nose up. “The strip club is not for me. Thanks but no thanks.”
Skyy waved her off. “You don’t have to strip; they’re hiring bartenders and waitresses
