"ma'liyah marie !" my grandma calls out from downstairs.

i sigh, fumbling around in my sheets aggressively, out of frustration. i paused my music, silently apologizing to the sweet voice booming from my speaker. of course, it was nobody else but frank ocean himself. i loved frank. i sat up, rubbing my eyes. i actually contemplated whether i should pretend to be sleep or get-

"ma'liyah!!"

"fuck!" i mumble under my breath as i throw the sheets off of me. my light brown curls bounced from my head as i shook it out of my eyes. i threw a shirt on and trudged down the stairs, peeking my head into my grandmas room.

"hey grandma." i say softly, trying to hide my irritation. "what's up?"

"well, I was wondering if you'd be able to go run a few errands for me? I need refills on my prescriptions.."

"yeah, sure." I say, as I slide my hand in my pocket to retrieve my dinging phone. I swipe up to unlock it, seeing a message from my girlfriend. I frown at my screen, seeing her send me one message at a time.. clearly she was upset at me, about something. I distractedly walk into my grandma's room to grab her empty medicine bottles, then make my way out the front door.

"drive safe!" I hear her call.

I make my way down the driveway and unlock my car door to my black tesla that I quite literally busted my ass for. speaking of ass, before mine could even make contact with the seat, my girl started calling me back to back. damn, a nigga just can't breathe. I inhale deeply, letting the air pass out through my nose, before answering the phone. finally, my finger presses the green button.

"hello-" i barely let out, before my girl starts screaming in my ear.

"ma'liyah, I have been CALLING YOU, for the past two hours! where are you? why the literal FUCK is your location off right now, you must be at a bitch house."

I clench my jaw as she talks at 50 mph.. swear I could feel the heat and spit coming out her mouth, through the phone, slapping me directly in the face.

"baby-" I start, only to be cut off again.

"turn your fucking lo on."

"baby, I've been sleep."

"did I ask you what the fuck you was doing , or did I ask you to turn your fucking lo on, which.. BY THE WAY, shouldn't be fucking off in the first place."

"I mean.. you kinda did ask me what I was doing."

"bet. you playing with the right bitch today, ma'liyah." she hangs up and I drop my phone in the cupholder, completely exasperated.

she stay doing that dumb shit, calling my phone yelling as if I won't cut into her ass. she know im too nice to do that shit, though. I start my car up, connecting the bluetooth as giveon starts singing to me through my speakers.

"hearttttbreaaakkk anniversaryyy.." I sing, as I pull into an open space at the pharmacy. I had to make this shit quick, I literally had to get to work in about two hours. I exit my car, locking the doors as i make my way inside the store, headed straight towards the pharmacy aisle, feeling my phone ding in my pocket, yet again. I look down to retrieve it.
