Cookies are Full of Surprises: Piggy's Cookie

Its a beautiful day in Houston. I only had a couple clients today. Unusual for a Friday but hey I'm not complaining. I love my job. Making women beautiful has always been a passion of mine. I wake up everyday and step out of the house flawlessly made up and am proud to say that makeup accentuates my beauty. Without, I'm still bad. Wonder what Danny is up to? We'd been dating for close to a year and were now discussing marriage. Seriously. I mean at the end of the day I wasn't getting no younger. We both weren't. So still it was time. I just needed to come clean with Danny. I mean Danny didn't know the other side of me. I'm Chenitre to the Make up world. I am contributing editor and creative design of Made Over Inc, and a licensed esthetician. I specialize in all phase of skin care and make up. I also could read a triple beam scale in my sleep. My "other" paper chase was because I loved fast money. I lived well. Ate well. I hustled hard though. Cookie as so many affectionately called me, got down too. Eventually I knew I would have to come clean or give it up altogether. It's always something. This is why I never watch the news. Oh my God! Is that Courtney? It is. They have my buddy plastered across the news talking about she should be considered armed and dangerous. Federal agent? Dead? What the h-Last time I saw C.C. she was in the Galleria. Her and Tameika Benford was together. We all knew each other from different circles in life. I used to do Courtney's make up. She is such a tomboy but she has beautiful skin. I told her lipgloss and liner do enough for her but when she want a lil extra, I hooked her up and showed her to take it there. What had she gotten herself involved in? Where is my cellphone? I need to call her. Dumping out this ole messy purse. Powder, concealer, lipstick, my wallet, keys, and Nina Simone fall out. She was loaded of course and on safety. Its surreal. I'm thinking about the night before. This same pistol had put bullets into somebody I thought I could trust. Talking to the laws about me? Stealing from me? I couldn't condone that. Truth is those were grave offenses. I had to deal with them accordingly. The main soldier think its okay to bite the General, then it won't be long before the privates try you too. Not in Cookie's army. You see it was small and that's how I like it. I wanted to build my organization brick by brick and that's exactly what I had done. Still I thought about my brother Reggie. Wasn't a day that went by I didn't think about him. I don't know. Courtney was a police officer and had been for as long as I could remember. She had always been good people and my cousin Mychelle and her had been thick as thieves. I wished her well. She had been crowned King. I saw Albro's chain around her neck that day in the Galleria. His body still ain't been found. Called Mike Walker to clean up my mess and he did it and offered me a coupon for the next time. After he left I vomited for about a half hour. This ain't me. I ain't no killer. Barely got any slept and Danny kept asking me what was wrong. I couldn't talk about it. I washed my face this morning and I didn't look the same. I wasn't the same Cookie. Her eyes have always intrigued me. When I would make her up I would always make them smoky. She had piercing eyes, that Courtney Coyle. So I committed one of the ultimate sins. Course my grandmother would tell me time to time that no one sin was greater than the other. So that eases my mind. Her voicemail comes up. "Courtney, its Cookie. I'm thinking about you. Hope you're safe." I hung up. It was hard enough for me to be CEO/Make up Artist, Girlfriend and Brick Layer. Courtney Coyle managed to be Mother/Cop/Kingpin all at once. It is really time for these brushes to be cleaned. I'm looking at these thick thighs in these pinstripe slacks. I was defintiely a horse but I wanted to keep toned. I think my appearance is very important. Danny has been my calm in all this I swear. I do dirt and then go home to Danny. Eventually it has to be told. What you do in the dark always come to light anyway. I watch them flash a picture of Pretty Piggy's face again and I cheer her on over Crown Royal and ice. Pandora is playing Jill Scott's Crown Royal. I raise my glass in cheers to King Piggy and think about what I need to do to build my own empire. Legendary sounds great in front of Cookie too.
