Page 60 of His Four Leaf Clover

“Me either but it’s all good. Light will always expose darkness.”

Clover hoped that she was just being paranoid but she really didn’t think so. Dash went from never wanting her out of his sight to seemingly being angry all the time. His mood had been all over the place lately, but she didn’t know why. He claimed to be okay every time she asked and she didn’t push the issue. Whatever it was would be revealed soon and she would have to handle it accordingly.

“That bitch was looking at me with murder in her eyes,” Iva laughed as she and Clover pulled out of the Target parking lot.

Amina was doing her baby shower registry, so they met her and Diva there to assist. She’d done a registry at two other stores and the rest was being done on Amazon. She and Fonzo had also finalized the plans for their house. Hank and his crew got started the day before and they were both excited. The house wasn’t gonna be done when the baby was born, but they didn’t care. They were gonna move in as a family and that was the best part of it all.

“Girl, I would be too embarrassed to be anywhere near Monty or his family after what she did. That bitch was really pressed.”

Hank had spoken to Corey’s siblings about the texts in Caprice’s phone. Her cousins tried to lie at first until he told them that he saw the messages himself. They were pissed, assuming that Caprice had showed it to him. They dropped a bomb on Hank that had Monty fuming. Apparently, Caprice had an air tag in the trunk of his car that he eventually found and destroyed. Now, he knew how she was always able to find him. She must have known where he and Iva lived now because she slipped up and mentioned that too. As close as she was with Clover’s cousins before, they were all beefing now. They were even going at it on social media, airing out each other’s personal business.

“She looked like she was scared to come in but she was with two other chicks. They were talking to Dot, but she stayed her distance. I don’t think Dot even saw her.”

“Dot probably would have swung on her ass behind Monty,” Clover laughed.

“Girl, I just feel like it’s always something. You got your stalker and his mama together, me and Monty finally got it right and Caprice was finally out of our lives. Well, I thought she was. You never know what that sneaky bitch be up to.”

“Unfortunately, that’s life. I wish it was all sunshine and roses, but let’s face it; sometimes, it’s shit covered in sprinkles.”

“No lies told. How is everything with Kim?”

“That bitch is in love again. She said she’s bringing her man to Riverdale in two weeks to meet the family. She said ole girl blocked Rondell off of all her social media. I guess she got the point.”

“Good cause that hoe was slow. Where else we gotta go? I’m hungry as hell.”

“Me too. Let me call and check on my baby before we go anywhere else.”

Kardi was with Irie and her kids at the bounce house. Once Clover made sure that she was good, she and Iva headed under the Claiborne bridge where all the food trucks were parked. They had a variety of food and drinks to choose from and they always went to more than just one.

“I want some oysters and tacos,” Iva said as she got over and prepared to make a turn.

“I want some lamb chops. And I hope the girl is out here who be selling the fruit drinks.”

“Me too but you should be tired of lamb chops. That’s all you been eating lately. Girl, is that Hank?”

“Where?” Clover asked while looking around.

“Ain’t that his work truck right there?” Iva pointed to the truck that was first at the light. They were the third car and a black van separated them.

“Yeah, but Dash has been using it. He’s been going out renewing contracts and stuff.”

“Yep, that’s his ass.” Iva laughed as she blew her horn.

The light had just turned green, but he didn’t move. The van in front of them was laying on their horn, but Dash just sat there. The cars behind them started going around and the van did the same. Iva was pissed when the light turned red because she had to wait again. They were right behind Dash, and he was still sitting there. Clover was just about to call to make sure he was okay until a female’s head popped up out of nowhere. He looked to be in the car alone but he definitely had a passenger.

“The fuck!” Clover yelled while jumping out of Iva’s car.

“Clo! Fuck!”

Iva was torn about what she should do. She didn’t want to leave her car in the middle of the intersection but she had to make sure that her girl was straight too. Both their phones and purses were in there and that was a disaster in itself. She watched in horror, as Clover opened the driver’s side door and started wailing on Dash.

“Dog ass nigga! I knew you were on some bullshit. I hope that was the best head you ever had cause you just lost me to get it.”

“Shit! Baby, wait.” Dash was nervously trying to remove his seatbelt.

“Nigga, fuck you. On my dead mama, I’m done with your bitch ass!”

Clover was throwing haymakers at Dash, as he tried to restrain her. Her face twisted in anger when she saw Caprice’s cousin, Sade, jump out of the passenger’s side. She was fixing her clothes, as Dash got out and tried to buckle his jeans. Iva saw Sade going to the other side of the truck and assumed she was trying to hit her friend.
