His name was Raven. Saphire Jade had a happy existence trying to take over corporate america and was living the life. Happy to be free from the wrath that was Hindu. She was a light again. She was aglow again. She had money again. She got back on top of her bills and got back to spoiling herself uncontrollably. Fell back into her yoga and daily candle lit baths. Began to jog daily and spend a healthy amount of time with her family and friends. She began to write again and the world was knew. She had a new found sense of self that no one could challenge. She also began to pray so much, JC was her dawg, her Ace, her homie. She told him jokes and everything. Saphire Jade still had an uncomfortable situation living with her dad and she decided it was time to take that great job for all it was worth and move the fuck out. FUCK that. She was a supervisor at work and had enough shit to deal with and get paid for it, than have to come home and be afraid to be seen outside her room. Her room was her sanctuary. Gave way to all the things she admired. Feng Shui with cherry wood furniture and candles everywhere. A window that flooded the room with sunshine and just enough room to do her yoga, tai chi, qiquong and meditation. She could do and be who ever she wanted and no one could call her any names or put their hands on her .
So on this cool Feb day exactly two weeks after leaving HINDU, her friend calls her and asks if she wants to hang out. She thought it was kinda odd bc she hadn't heard from Varington in like a year; but she said hey...life is good, what the heck. Sure I'll hang. They hooked up when she got off work and they took a lil ride. Now Saphire being @ this time an "ex" hustla figured her friend just wanted some company while he made his rounds."Ex" Hustla because Hindu almost got her locked up and as codefendent didnt' accompany her to court. The bastard just talked shit to her the day she had to go and basically said fuck her if she go down. Oh well. It's aint' his fault and it so was. Yeah the drugs were in her possession. But she forced to go somewhere with him despite her many refusals. Luckily she had a kick ass lawyer and Saphire Jade got off with a year of unsupervisored probabtion. Her not having a record and this being her first offense helped alot. Anyway, Saphire was down to ride bc she knew, he would be down to smoke. And besides, she needed to reup anyway. Her stash was damn near on "E." So they met in the parking lot of Sears, the only store left of what used to be Landover Mall.
They rode down to Ft Washington, MD. Saphire Jade had her own car but there was no sense in her driving too. Varington pulled into a carwash and Jade noticed this rather annoyingly flamboyant guy in a red jacket talking on his cell phone. He was annoying because his gestures were so dramatic, it was obvious this dude was an attention whore. Eugughghghg. Jade hated the type. Jade and Grace long ago, coined the termed PG COUNTY BOYS...these dudes are so on themselves that they have no regard for the world around them. Self absorbed womanizing metro sexuals. Saphire Jade giggled inside as she labeled the lame a typical PG County Boi. To her surprise, lamo supremo, starts walking over to the car and Saphire is glad she kept her comments to herself because this dude was apparently a friend of Varington. Jade was in the front seat and gave a very flippant hello barely looking over her shoulder when Raven got into the backseat of Varington's car. They drove to Raven's parents home. A nice brand new mansion built fresh. It looked like a castle with it's 6 levels, 6 bedrooms, 5 1/2 bathrooms, 5 balconies, ceilings you couldn't reach and wood floors that you couldn't wear heels on. Saphire was impressed but not really. This was exactly the type of life she wanted for herself one day, but Raven was exactly the kind of guy she would never date. A few other guys showed up: Rocky and Curlz. Curlz was a hot Philipino that Saphire Jade found out way later that he liked her. She often wondered what would've happened if she ended up with Curlz instead of Raven. 2 years later, she still didn'thave the answer to that question.
