"Jill!" Sheri whispered.
Jill continues to give Sheri grief. Though, in all honesty Jill didn't care, nor did she have room to judge.
Jill has done what Sheri is about to do once or twice. Maybe even three times by the time she's done with Anthony. Who knows what his status is?
Don't care...
But Jill could shamelessly say this, she's never blatantly seen a man's wife and still brazenly flirt with their husband.
Sheri was on a whole new level of savagery, and Jill wasn't letting her best friend off the hook so easily.
Jill thought to herself, the next time Sheri tries to act all innocent and poise to judge me, imma rub the dirt all up in her face.
She continues to push Sheri's buttons till she gets up to leave and go to the bathroom. Jill was getting ready to tell her to use the gel when unexpectedly, Sheri collides into the Governor.
They were a whole tangled mess, Jill practically had to pull them apart before his wife came.
The Governor was grateful for her intervention because even he realized he wasn't focused.
Upon meeting the governor's wife, Jill was 100% sure, she did not like her. This self-important, condescending chick, made Jill simply want to backhand her.
Her whole attitude was trash. She looked down at Sheri and Jill the whole time with fake greetings of kindness. But Jill matched her energy. Like b*tch, your not about to run over me.
But Sheri... Practically became her yes girl. And Jill had to fall in line because it wasn't her fight.
***
After the awful encounter with Monica, the Governor's wife, Jill got to work on making sure Sheri had a more prominent presence.
The girls went to the bathroom, and Jill opened every stall to make sure no one was around.
"What was that?!" Jill yelled.
"I know right?! Absolute b*tch!" Sheri added.
Jill wanted to smack Sheri.
"No! You!"
Sheri was confused.
"You're not focused! When she came up to us all stank, you had no fight in you. You acted like a docile little girl. She said jump and you went 'how high?' Even I had to fall in line." Jill was so infuriated.
"Oh...". Sheri said in recollection.
"Listen that right there was a freebie. Monica is not about to think that's how things are gonna be moving forward." Jill declares.
Sheri was silent but signaled she understood
Jill continued as she paced the spacious restroom. "She's the one that had things she wanted to discuss with you, not the other way around. You should of let Monica know what day YOU were available instead of going along with what she choose!"
"I know I just got nervous..." Sheri put her hand to her forehead.
"Well that needs to be out of your system now that we have a vague idea of what she's about. When we go to the Governor's house, don't act all impressed, as if you've never been in a place like that before, and whatever she asks of you, tell her you need time to deliberate. She's not getting her answer right away." Jill looked at Sheri sternly.
"You're right! I'm sorry!... I guess I felt bad about my behavior with her husband that I kind of submitted to her." Sheri admitted.
"So are you gonna feel bad about the Governor's behavior too?!" Jill snapped "Takes two to tangle, And y'all was entangled!"
"Jill... I don't know if I can be the type of woman that can mess with a married man..." Sheri lowered her head.
Well what is she trynna say about me! Jill thought.
"I'm just way in over my head with this..." Sheri replayed her shameless behavior in her head.
Sensing her mood, Jill said, "Oh no you don't!" Jill sighed. "Listen, no one is saying you have to mess with the Governor. Leave the happy couple alone, after all it's not like you were the one who initiated the flirtatious encounter. So there's no need for you to feel all bad with your tail between your legs."
"But I encouraged his behavior too." Sheri whined.
"Okay, we can't always control who were attracted too. Besides if he is now unavailable to you then he's unavailable. There's plenty of other ballers to mess with in here." Jill coaxed.
Sheri shook her head up and down in agreement but remained somber.
"Honestly Sheri snap out of it!" Jill snapped. "This is all the council I got, and if you think I won't leave your sad tail behind to run off with Anthony, you must have forgotten who I am!" Jill flips her hair with an attitude.
"I wouldn't ask you to stay with me." Sheri solemnly said.
Jill couldn't take it anymore more.
"Sheri! Why are we even here?! Not just us, why is everyone here right now?! I'm seriously asking. Why?!" Jill was exasperated.
"To honor those who excelled in the betterment of student academic achievement last year." Sheri said, waving Jill off in annoyance.
"Okay, and what is the highest award you can get?"
"Principal Of the Year."
"And whose the Queen with that title?"
"Me." Sheri's mood lighted a little.
"And who's gonna strut across that stage, you or the hoe that got you in your feelings?" Jill asked smugly.
"Me."
"And whose gonna be photographed and interviewed for local news stories, you or that hoe?!"
"ME!"
"And who is the city of Parkdale making it rain on by dropping $25k check on them?!"
"ME!"
"So this is your night!" Jill exclaimed. "Your the queen of this ball and its time you start acting like it! Forget them, rich folks, they're out of the house tonight because of you!"
Sheri felt her confidence seep back into her after Jill's pep talk.
"We haven't taken a picture of us together tonight." Sheri said taking out her phone.
Jill was relieved things seemed to be turning around.
After taking their fire selfies and individual pictures of each other.
Jill made Sheri strut back and forth like she was on stage. But there was honestly no need for that, Sheri was well trained by Jill way back when they were in college together. It was all just to get her pumped. Jill even had Sheri give her smoldering looks of seduction.
Sheri was a pro at this though. She may look angelic but she's a whole freak underneath it all, and Jill loved to see this side of her friend when she got comfortable.
Sheri is very much the definition of "Lady in the streets but a freak in the sheets." and Jill told her to play in both parts tonight.
"You ready?" Jill asked.
"Girl yes, didn't you say Anthony brought a friend, maybe he'll be fun."
The girls laughed.
"We've been in here for a while, I'm surprised no one came in." Sheri marveled.
"Oh I locked the door." Jill admitted.
The restroom was spacious, with a voluminous powder room and it's own lobby. But the time the ladies got to the lobby they heard knocking on the door and the door handle rattling.
The girls snickered as they opened the door and realized women we're outside waiting for them to come out.
Looks of irritation greeted them as they strut past without a care.
When we got some ways away, Jill said, "They probably thought we were playing with each other." She winked seductively at Sheri.
"Stop!" Sheri shrieked as she busted out laughing.
"Ooo girl, I'm glad you recovered because Lord knows I'm no good as a therapist!" Jill exclaimed.
