“Hold
up! The fuck you mean you walked in on them kissing!” Lola screams. I just look
at her and take another drink of my crown and coke.
“I’m
not going over it again. I already told you three times now what happened Lo. I
just want to get drunk and fall asleep.”
“Girl
you need more than a drink, you need some green. You want me to roll you one? I
know you say you don’t smoke, but girl. You. Need. A. Smoke. That’s some shit
right there, you can’t just woo-sa that one away Cuz. I’m so sorry.”
I
love my family. I do, but sometimes, I just want to forget. My Aunt Lorraine
and her kids are wild. Mom says all the Danvers have sass. They were loud, and
straightforward. Word vomit doesn’t equate to the kinds of phrases that came
out their mouths. If one of Lorraine’s kids were feeling generous with their
words, they would spread it everywhere.
“No,
I can’t. You know that stuff makes me sick. I don’t have the same reaction you
do.”
“Girl,
its Friday, your man cheated on you. With a model, girl a mother-fucking model!
Ain’t no chance in hell Jackson Storme is going to go back to you when Jackson
has her and the little girl. Girl, I’m not even Maury and I can already tell
you what the verdicts gonna be.”
I
roll my eyes at Lola.
“Girl,
you know that baby is his. I’m sure he got at least four, five of them running
around in some other parish.”
“Lo,
you are not helping me here.”
“I
am. I’m telling you the facts, because you know good and goddamn well, if
Jackson were standing on my front porch, you’d take his fine ass back. Girl,
let Pooh Bear do some shit like that. Ooh wee. Locks would be changed. I would
have done more than gotten my groove back. I would not wait to exhale. Honey,
I’d set this whole place on fire and then go and fuck his best friend. Real
talk!”
My
head is starting to hurt. The alcohol having the effects I want it to have. My
cousin is now done with her spiel, so I raise my glass and give her a loud, “A.
To. The. Man. Cuz.”
“Hell
yeah! Now we’re talking. You want to go and pour sugar in his tank? Key his
ride up? You know me; I’m a ride or die chick. Hood one hundred.”
One of Tigris’ fondest memories, was in the sixth grade,
when her teacher read her story, “The Case of The Missing Pepperoni”, out loud
to the class. It was then she decided she wanted to be a writer when she grew
up. But like all childhood dreams, reality has a way of crashing in and
disrupting plans. But her imagination and the voices inside her head never
stopped talking. Every dream she could remember was jotted down in her dream
journals.
When she’s not writing Tigris marvel’s at life’s gifts. She
likes to take pictures of beautiful things. She openly admits that what she may
find beautiful another person might not, and she’s perfectly okay with that.
She enjoys her music and doesn’t leave home without it. Long pillow
conversations with LL about nonsensical things, and hanging out with her boys,
when they deem her “cool enough.”
Tigris is a military brat who’s done her fair share of
travelling, thanks to her Army father. She’s married to the infamous LL and has
three boys. She currently resides in Houston and is actively seeking a
book-buddy for the end of the world.
