Becky the G

Snooze you lose

I woke up on Tasha's hip. We both slept on the couch. I check the clock and see 8:29.
"Oh God I'm gonna be late!" I say jumping up.
"Late for whutt?" Tasha says with a drowsy voice as she rubs her eyes.
"I'll tell you when I get back" I said running to the bathroom.

I bathe and pick out something to wear. I got dressed did my hair in a messy bun and was out the door.

I got there and went up to the desk.
"Hi I'm the 9:00"
"Sorry someone took your spot"
"What do you mean?"
"You're 15 minutes late Ms.Dawe" I just stared blank.
"When next can I come in?"
"I'm sorry but that was a once in a lifetime opportunity another artist now is given their shot"
"Thanks" I walk off devastated and drive out of there.

I pull into shaks' driveway and he's on the porch listening to music so I sit beside him.
"Hey Becky how'd it go in the studio"
"I lost my shot" I said staring at the grass.
"What why?"
"I got there late so I missed my chance.."
"Dang..."
"Maybe I'm not good enough"
"You're very talented Becky and if they can't see that then they're losing out" I look at shaks.
"Thanks" I hug him.
"I love you Becky" he says in my ear.
"I should get back home" I say and detach myself from his embrace.
"..OK..text me" I nod and walk off.

I get home and see Tasha in a towel blow drying her hair.
"You're going work?"
"Naw I'm going to the mall"
"Oh need a ride?"
"Yah sure...and company.."
"Ok sure"

Tasha buckles up and we drive off.
"So where'd you go?" She ask putting on lipstick.
"A studio.."
"No way how'd it go?"
Thank God I only have two friends or I'd have to repeat myself a little too often.
"I lost my shot"
"Aww sorry Becky you'll get another shot" I shrug and pull into the mall parking lot
"Whutt are you going for?" I ask locking the car.
"Few clothes for work and shoes"
"Oh OK" I say and we walk in together.

Tasha's trying on clothes and I'm on my phone texting shaks when a mannequin falls on me.
"Fuck.." I throw it off.
"I'm so so sorry" a hand reaches out and I look up and see a tall figure.
"It's OK..how could my day get any wo-" I pause when I see his face. High curly top, light brown eyes and perfect lips.
"I'm CJ" he says smiling.
"Becky.." I shake his hand.
"Are you hurt?" He asks.
"Naw I'm fine"
"Great.." I stare at his hand.
"Ummm my phone please?" He looks at his hand.
"Right sorry" he laughs. Damn he's cute. I reach out to take it.
"Matter of fact..." He's typing away on my phone.
"Text me..or call your choice"
"I'll think about it" he smiles and turns to leave.
"Becky come zip me up please" I spin around and see Tasha peeking from behind the curtain. I go over smiling.
"Whutt?" She says.
"Whutt whutt?"
"Why are you smiling like that?"
"Oh nothing" I zip her up and look down at my phone.

Shaks: come by tonight I need to tell you something.

Me: Hi CJ
CJ: wow that was fast.
Me: oh please lol
CJ: lol so here's the thing, let me take you out tonight.
Me: sure!
CJ: great 7:30
Me: perfect.
Cj: ☺

"Becky let's go" Tasha says after paying for her things.
"Wait..I need an outfit" I say
"Oh what for?"
"If you must know nosey I have a date" she smiles brightly. I shake my head.
