MJ shoved the heavy door open as he entered into his parents'
huge home.
MJ. Mama! Daddy! Where y'all at?!
Monica. The kitchen!
MJ walked into the kitchen, pulling an article up on his phone.
His mother was cutting a piece of cake as his father texted.
Monica. Hey, baby.
MJ. Hey.
He kissed her cheek before slapping hands with his father.
Marcus. What's wrong?
MJ. Y'all see this?
He handed his phone to Marcus.
MJ. Your daughter got photographed by TMZ with a fuckin football
player. But, of course, it can't just be any football player.
Can't be the fuckin third string offensive lineman. It's--
Marcus. The highest paid wide receiver in the game?
MJ. Exactly! Joshua...whatever the nigga's name is.
Monica. Ingram.
Monica moved past MJ nonchalantly and handed Marcus his cake as
they both stared at Monica. She licked icing from her finger.
Monica. What?
MJ. How do you know his last name?
Monica. Because Amiya told me...when she told me she was seeing
him...yesterday.
MJ threw his hands up.
Marcus. She told you and didn't tell me?
Monica. It's not anything serious, they're just having sex.
MJ. Bump that, why she fuckin him?!
Monica. Lower your voice and watch your mouth.
MJ sighed.
MJ. Mama, she can't be seeing this dude, you gotta tell her to
stop.
Monica. Why can't she?
MJ. Because that dude is gonna bring way too much exposure! It's
already people walking in the shop talkin bout, "You're Marcus
Greer, right?" Why the fuck would white girls walk in my shop
asking about me?
Marcus. To be fair, you did open it in a white neighborhood,
son.
MJ. You're mind poisoned too, Daddy?
At that moment, Amiya walked into the kitchen and paused when
she seen MJ.
Amiya. You seriously came to snitch on me to our parents?
MJ. Why you ain't been answering your fuckin phone, Amiya?
Amiya. Because I pay that bill.
MJ. Leave dude alone.
Amiya rolled her eyes.
MJ. I'm serious, you can't fuck with him. Wait on ol' boy to get
outta jail, or get you a nobody ass businessman or something.
Anybody but this dude.[/center]

Amiya raised her eye brow.
Amiya. Listen.. I dont tell you who you can dip your lil thing
into so you not gon tell me what to do.
MJ. Me and my dick move silent and you being real loud right
now.
Amiya. No I'm not. And you aint gon tell me who I can see...
MJ. Bet..
MJ looked at Marcus as Monica cut another slice of cake for
herself taking a seat at the table.
Marcus. Miya.. Your brother has a point..
Monica spoke up.
Monica. So you're gonna tell this girl she cant see him that man
because he's too successful?
Marcus paused for a moment as he looked at both of them.
Marcus. It is a lot of unnecessary attention.
Marcus looked at Monica for a while and Monica shook her head
and turned her attention back to her cake while she listened.
Macus turned his attention to Amiya again as she glared at MJ.
Marcus. People gon look for you now..
Amiya. I'm Amiya Greer people been looking for me...
Marcus. And now it sound like you putting a spotlight on
yourself.
MJ. All of us..
Amiya sighed.
Amiya. That's not fair though daddy..
Monica. It's not.. This gon blow over.
Marcus looked over at Monica as they stared at each other. Amiya
spoke up and they turned their attention back to her.
Amiya. Right.. And I know how to watch the moves I make, and
it's plenty of football niggas' girls out here and yall don't
know them cause they not makin noise... I know how to be quiet.

MJ. Quiet is the one thing you not, so you lose that argument.
Amiya. Excuse you?
MJ. White folks walking in my shop knowing me by name, Amiya.
They know him, so they know you. Once they found you, they found
me. They probably found everybody else, too.
Amiya. Has anybody tried anything?
MJ. You don't know what these crazy folks planning, man. You
ain't even stop and think how our partners gon feel about this
attention. We just said the white boys running through you. If
you got eyes on you, you think they gon wanna associate with
you?
Amiya. So fuck them!
MJ threw his hands up.
MJ. You selfish as fuck, man.
Amiya. I'm selfish?! Fuck you for that, Marcus DeWayne! All the
fuckin time I done put in to help you and you gon call me
selfish for talking to a dude?
MJ. You fuckin' right! You ain't think about nobody else but you
in this situation!
Amiya. You know who else does that? You.
MJ. Now you on some bullshit, man.
Amiya. You ain't selfish?!
MJ. No! You know why?! Because I'm thinking about everybody
else, too! You think the crew and our partners want this
attention?! You think mama and daddy want this attention?! You
think lil' nephew want this attention?!
Monica. Don't bring us in this.
MJ shook his head.
MJ. You not seeing the nigga. I don't care if I gotta off him
myself.
Marcus. Stop talking crazy, Junior.
MJ. Am I the only one in this house thinking straight right
now?! Don't none of y'all see this blow back coming?!
Monica. Marcus, what do you want your sister to do?
MJ. Cut this nigga loose before too many eyes get on us!
Amiya. That ain't happening. So, you can get over that right
now.
MJ's phone blew up and he read headline after headline, shaking
his head.
MJ. "Joshua Ingram's New Boo Amiya Greer Is Hood Royalty." Look
at this shit. They glamorizing you like a fuckin video gril.
Amiya. I am hood royalty.
MJ looked at his family and shook his head.
MJ. I'm glad y'all find this so fucking amusing, man. Because
pretty soon everything we built, shit everything y'all built
years ago? That's gon get thrown outta the fuckin window and
we'll be lucky as fuck if we don't go to prison.
MJ snatched his keys from the counter. Against his better
judgement, he kissed his sister and mother's cheeks before
hugging his father. He was mad at all of them, but he never left
them without showing love. One thing his father taught him early
was that the next second in this business wasn't guaranteed.
Monica. You bringing babygirl back over here?
MJ. Yeah, Jamal and me got a meeting tonight.[/center]

Amiya watched as MJ walked out of the kitchen. She turned her
attention back to Monica and Marcus while Marcus looked at her
with disapproving eyes. Amiya looked at Monica who was also
looking at the look he was giving Amiya.
Amiya. You gon really be on his side daddy?
Marcus. Aint no side.. I said he has a point.. And he does..
Amiya sighed.
Amiya. I guess..
Marcus. Aint nun to guess about... Now your full name is out
there and you think aint nobody gon put two and two together?
They know us...
Amiya sighed and shook her head. She knew attention wasn't what
her group needed, but her intentions weren't to put them in
harms way. She actually liked Josh's vibe and his style, but
here she was being backed into a corner where she'd have to
leave him alone. This was one of the only guys she'd taken
interest in that didn't make their money illegally. It was
aggravating to say the least, but at the same time, they hadn't
even spoken since she left his house.
Amiya. I guess I'm just supposed to only fuck with niggas that
like going to jail.
Monica. You don't have to limit yourself baby..
Amiya. Apparently I do.. But whatever... We haven't talked since
I left his house anyways. -sigh- I just won't see him again.
Amiya looked at Marcus.
Amiya. Does that make you happy now?
Marcus cocked his eyebrow at her.
Monica. Amiya..... You do get what your father and your brother
are concerned about dont you?
Amiya. I do.. But it's not that deep..
Amiya shook her head.
Amiya. I'm finna go too.. I'm gotta get Josiah from his people..
I'll call you later ma.. I love yall..
Marcus and Monica. Love you too..
Amiya sighed as she made her way out of her parent's house and
back to her car. She sighed as she thought about Josh again. She
shook her head again and made her way back to the side of town
where she resided.
... Amiya had taken a seat on Rita's couch while she was waiting
on Rita to gather the rest of Josiah's stuff, and Rita was
talking to her.
Rita. So how you been? You know Rome been asking about you... He
said you stopped taking his calls and he didn't know why..
Amiya. He know why.. I dont know why he be lying to you..
Rita. Oh.. What he do now? I know he always doing something..
Amiya looked over at Josiah as he played with his tablet.
Amiya. Ion really wanna get into it right now. But he know what
he did, and I'm not fooling with your son no more..
Rita smiled lightly as she brought Josiah's bag to Amiya.
Rita. I seen you on the internet with that football player too..
I didn't know you was dating again..
Amiya looked at Rita then looked over at Josiah.
Amiya. You ready to go baby?
Jo looked up from his tablet and nodded. They both stood up off
the couch and Josiah led her to the door as she grabbed his bag.
After she buckled Josiah in, and Rita gave him additional
goodbye kisses, Amiya shut the door and looked at Rita. Amiya
thought about explaining herself to Rita, but she changed her
mind quickly and she opened her car door.
Amiya. Alright.. See you next time Miss Rita..
Amiya got in her car and pulled out of the driveway. She had
already been dealing with MJ freaking out about unnecessary
attention, and the last thing she had time for was Miss Rita's
digging in her business. All she was going to do was go back and
tell Rome, and right now she felt like she had enough on her
brain without including him.
END SCENE
