I woke up this morning with Jazmine next to me, looking at peaceful as ever. I had talked her down from wanting to beat Ashley's ass. Last night was great, we cooked dinner together, watched a few movies and even had sex. As far as I knew, the whole idea of beating anybody's ass was completely out of Jazmine's mind.
So imagine my surprise when I look up from the counter and see Jazmine walking in with her sweatpants and t-shirt that she never left the house in and her oldest pair of sneakers. Her hair was slicked back, she wasn't wearing her signature hoop earrings either. I glanced at my girlfriend then at Ashley who was unknowingly preparing some cookies to put up front.
My manager greeted Jazmine and turned to me. I shook my head at him and pointed at Ashley. It took him a moment but he quickly got the idea and rushed to the back and pulled Ashley away. I rushed up to Jazmine to keep her from coming back to the kitchen area. "Jazmine, babe. Forreal?"
"Forreal nothing, where is she? I know I saw her Huey." she snapped at me. I placed my hands on her shoulders and sighed. The customers in the store was now staring at us.
"Not here. You're gonna get me fired." I hissed at her. Was she seriously so caught up over this? For what? She had been my girlfriend forever. Shit, we were even living together. Between home, work and school when would I have the time to find anything grimy to do?
"I'm not gonna get you fired. I'm just gonna talk to her." Jazmine dipped past me and further back into the kitchen. I caught up to her, grabbing her arm to pull her back but not hard enough to hurt her. She yanked her arm out my grasp, slid past my manager and leaned in Ashley's face until her back was pressed against the wall.
My manager looked back at me and I just shook my head. Whatever was going to happen was just going to have to happen.
"Now, look here. I know you know about me." Jazmine said in a sickly sweet tone. "I know you know Huey has a girlfriend. So, I don't understand why you felt like it was smart to kiss up on Huey. Huey is mine. I will beat your fucking ass so bad, do you understand?"
I held my breath. Nigga moments could happen between girls too. I had seen it with my own eyes one too many times and it could be even worse than it was between two guys. With a doubt, Ashley sucked her teeth and pushed Jazmine back.
"Please, like you could beat my ass." She rolled her eyes and got up in Jazmine face.
"Oh, bet? Please. Please do something. In case you haven't realized, I'm ready." Jazmine snapped back. "Hit me babygirl."
Two seconds later the two of them were tussling. I'm pretty sure Ashley threw the first hit and from then it was on. Jazmine shoved her against the wall and punched Ashley right in the face, grabbed her hair and yanked her down to the floor before climbing on top of her. She must have gotten in a good five punches while Ashley scratched at her arms and face. I ran towards Jazmine and pulled her up and away from Ashley. The customers were peaking their heads around, trying so hard to get a peak without going past the register. My other co-workers just stood there in awe. Jazmine's nose was bleeding freely so that one real hit Ashley got in must have been a good one.
Jazmine kicked her legs, trying to get free from my arms while my manager pulled Ashley up. "Hey and guess what? I would've had more for you. So try that bullshit again and see what the hell happens!"
"Jazmine, enough!" I scolded her, tightening my arm around her enough to get her attention. "Cut. This. Shit. Out. Now." I brought her to one of the bathrooms and grabbed a wad of toilet tissue to clean her nose up a little bit. She winced once I pinched my fingers against her nose.
"Sorry." She muttered sheepishly, finally seeing how fucking pissed I was.
"Yeah. We'll talk about this later. Take care of your nose and go home. I'm going to convince my manager to not talk to the owners about this so they don't press charges and try to explain to Ashley. You better pray to your God I don't get fired, Jaz. You know I need this job."
She nodded weakly, "I know. I'm sorry." She whimpered, tears welling in her eyes.
I sighed and shook my head, grabbing her by her shoulders and kissing quickly. "Go home. If I get a chance I'll call. If not I'll see you later. Alright? Love you."
"I love you too." Jazmine muttered as she left the bathroom before me and left the store.
