Hi Guys, don't worry I'm still working on Taken, but these characters popped into my head, and wouldn't leave me alone. The characters I came up with kind of remind me of Gina and Pam from Martin; there's the level-headed one and then there's the crazy loud mouth one. Sorry about the errors I plan on getting it edit later on. As always, feedback is much appreciated.
Enjoy

"You selfish motherfucker; I can't believe you." Trina said, while her soon to be ex-boyfriend Jamal sat hunched in the corner of the cheap motel room.
"Baby calm down," he pleaded eyeing the knife she held.
"No I ain't gone calm, you lying son of a bitch," Trina yelled. She wasn't going to stab him, God knows she wanted to but right now she just wanted to a scare his ass and maybe rough him up a little bit.
"What you scared?" She taunted, "You should have thought about that before you decided to play with my emotions; baby I love you, don't you know I'd die for you, you lying trifling no good bastard!" She screamed kicking him.
"Now, now Trina, girl I know you're upset but don't you think this is a bit much? I mean you just tasered the man, now you got a knife; girl you know I love you, but I don't do jail." Mel, her voice of reason for the 'moment,' and best friend offered, all while munching on her beloved chips.
"Mel, weren't you the one saying and I quote, girl you need to fuck his ass up" Trina asked.
"What I meant, was cuss his ass out and rough him up, not kill him." She held up her finger as if she was thinking, "Although I will admit, you were right about tasering his ass." She chuckled, while shaking her body to imitate how Jamal looked while he was being tasered.
"What the fuck is wrong with you two?" Jamal stuttered, still a little shaken up from being tasered.
"Please Jamal, you know you had this coming with all the shit you put her through; cheating on her with Rhonda of all people, and then you didn't even have the decency to wear a condom. You lucky all you did was get old girl pregnant because if you and that whore had given my girl anything, I would be the one holding the knife and I know you don't want that." She licked her finger clean. "And anyway you should be thankful that I'm here to referee, because this could this easy become an episode of Snapped. I mean really..."
"Mel" Trina yelled cutting off her tirade.
"You are not helping." She snapped.
Mel put down her bag of chips and walked over to Trina, shaking her head at the sight of Jamal. The man barely had time to pull his boxers up before Trina laid into his ass. She smirked; her and Trina did bust up in there like gang busters; too bad that ho Rhonda had already left. Not that it mattered; Jamal was the one who fuck up, and no matter how much of a slut Rhonda was, she wasn't in to beating up pregnant women. Now after she had the baby, all bets were off.
"Remember what I told you; beat his ass, then use your words so he'll know why he getting his ass whooped, and then beat his ass some more." She sassed, handing Trina the taser as she took the knife from her hand. Before walking off she gave Trina a pointed look and mouth, "Use your words."
Trina took a deep, she was never good a expressing her feelings especially when it came to Jamal; the man had a way of switching everything around and before she knew it, she would be agreeing with his logic.
"Jamal do you have any idea how much you hurt me..."
"Trina baby"
"Shut up, there is nothing you can say that I care to hear. You have used and walked over me for the last time. I loved you and yes our relationship wasn't perfect but I loved you never the less and you know what; I could see if I was some trifling ass woman, but damn it, I was good to you, was there for you when nobody was. Stood by you at your worse and held it down when you couldn't and this is how you do me? Getting some chick pregnant and using my money to take care of her... spending it on these cheap ass motels and lord knows what else." She fumed.
She stepped forward but stopped herself; as much as she wanted to lay into his ass again, she couldn't. Instead she continued to use her
words
, "Well I hope you and that whore had a good time living it up off of me, because you and I both know that neither one of yall got a pot to piss in. As far as I am concern, you and your baby mama, can kiss my black ass. The only person I feel sorry for is that baby because with you two fools for parents, the odd are already stack against them." Trina turn ready to leave, but the knock at the door stop her mid step.
She and Mel looked at each other as if to ask who could be, but quickly realized it was probably Rhonda. Either way it didn't matter, she was done with Jamal and his crap once and for all. Mel walk to the door quickly and looked out the peep hole. Before she opened it, Trina could have sworn she heard her muttered
shit
.
"Melinda?"
"Nicholas, well this is a surprise."
Oh shit
"Actually we received a call about a disturbance in this room."
"This address?" She replied as if she was shocked. Leaning towards the officer, she offered, "Now who on earth would have done such a thing, because I can assure you..."
"HELP!" Mel rolled her eyes at the sound of Jamal voice. She should have known he wouldn't take his ass whooping like a man.
"Mel step away from door

Trina groaned, she couldn't believe, that she of all people was hand cuffed in the back of a police car on her way to jail; and for what, Jamal ass? She always said she would never lose her mind over some damn man; now look at her, not only did she lose it, but manage to catch a case in the process. Fool wasn't even worth it. She chuckled; the way he acted you would have thought she stabbed him or something. Well she did taser the man, but damn it he deserved it and even though she did have a knife, it was a little ass pocket knife for Christ sake.
Trina was pissed. This is what she get for listening to Mel; she should have stayed her behind home like she'd planned. Two years she wasted on that fool. Deep down she knew something was going on, her mama always said a woman knows when her man is straying, the problem is admitting it. Well it took her a long time to admit it and tonight for her to realize she could do a whole lot better than Jamal cheating behind.
Trina hung her head down; there was a time when she felt so lucky to have Jamal. When he first approached her, she was shocked; he was so handsome with his smooth dark skin and goodness when he smile at her while asking her for her number, she just couldn't believe it. Not to say that she was ugly or anything, she was just very quiet and shy when it came to the opposite sex. Growing up her parents were strict and there were certain things that weren't allowed, and boys were one of them. Instead of experimenting and learning all the joy of the opposite sex, like most teenagers, her high school experience consisted hanging out at home or with Mel. Not that she minded, it was way easier for her to fantasize about sex, than to engage in the real thing at that age. So at twenty-three when Jamal showed interest in her, she thought finally found someone who she could take it to the next level with.
However after two years and a lot of heart ache and pain, she was done after today; she felt nothing for the man.
Corrections after tasering his ass and telling him off, I felt nothing.
Too bad it took getting arrested to get to that point; leaning forward she resisted the urge to bang her head against the seat. Come Monday, everyone would know her business; it would be years before she lived this down. Hammond was a small town where everybody knew everyone business. She could only imagine the town reaction when they found that out that quite soft spoken Trina Mitchell, was arrested for assault. She closed eyes and leaned back; to think this night was supposed to be the stepping stone to taking back control of her life.
Earlier that evening
