You Showed Me
Nahisha McCoy
Brooklyn, New York - Salt N Pepa's classic chart-topper, "You Showed Me," is hip hop storytelling at its finest. It's told from the perspective of a woman who's learned deception from the person she loved most: her man.

"You Showed Me" is an anthem for every woman who's ever been in a one-sided relationship with a man who only loves himself. Newcomer Nahisha McCoy captures the essence of the hip-hop classic in her debut novel, You Showed Me.

Naheema, the story's protagonist, is ready, willing, and able to be at the beck and call for the charismatic Mike but she soon awakens from her love high. Unknowingly playing the game of Russian Roulette, she realizes that her dark knight has become a nightmare. In a series of rapid events, Naheema is forced into situations that are so reprehensible that she doesn't think she has the strength to emerge with her sanity still intact. The abuse, affairs, lies, and betrayal are enough to push any woman to the brink of losing it all.

In this novel, which imitates true-life events, Naheema goes from a student to teaching Mike a lesson that he'll never forget. If Mike were to ask Naheema how she learned to become so ruthless, she'd quote the legendary Salt N Pepa and say "You showed me."

EXCERPT FROM "YOU SHOWED ME"

Mike walked into the apartment and surveyed the room. He was pissed, because Naheema lied to him and said that the party was for women only. From his perspective, everyone in the place looked like they were coupled up.
He continued his search for Naheema. As he pushed his way through the crowd of people, he noticed her in the corner with a big-ass smile on her face. Naheema and the guy were so deep in conversation, she never noticed him walking toward her.
He stormed over to them when he saw a man's arm wrapped around the chair. Before Naheema could do or say anything, Mike had already smacked her, busting her lip.
The guy sitting next to her jumped up and stepped into Mike's face.
Mike looked at the dude like he was crazy.
"What the fuck is your'?"
Wham! Mike pistol-whipped him.
Everyone noticed the commotion and started running out of Dina's apartment, yelling and screaming that somebody had a gun.
Shaquanna and Dina came running out of the room in time to see Mike choking and punching Naheema in the face, and Naheema attempting to fight him back.
Dina was first to run and attack him. She jumped up on his back and started raining blows on his head. "Get the fuck off of her!" she yelled, pounding on Mike.
Dina noticed Shaquanna's hesitation. She screamed at her, "Help, bitch!"
Only then Shaquanna ran to the aid of her sister and friend.
Mike shook them off as if they were lightweights. Dina fell and banged her head on the wall, and Shaquanna fell but got back up and went back to fighting Mike. "Get off of her!" she screamed, punching him in the face.
That got Mike's attention. He released Naheema, and she crumpled to the floor. Then he turned to Shaquanna. "Bitch, you ain't get enough yet?" he said, approaching her.
Dina got up and pulled a 9-millimeter handgun from under the couch, removed the safety, cocked the hammer back, and pointed it at Mike. "Get the fuck out of my place! Now!"
Mike stopped in his tracks. He looked at Dina and smiled. "All right. You got that for now, Dina."
Dina stood there calm, although she was shocked that he remembered who she was. "I'm glad you remember me. Now get the fuck out of my apartment!"
Mike just smiled. He looked from her to Shaquanna and then at Naheema before leaving the apartment.
