Miserable

Penny for your thoughts

The drive home was quiet as I listened to Jhene Aiko. That girl could sing but I didnt participate too busy in deep thought. Shit gets lonely from time to time especially when you try to keep to yourself and make money. 'He was cute as shit' I thought to myself. I quickly snapped out of it and pulled up quick to the crib. As always before I got out the car I pulled my nine from under the front seat and quickly tucked it away under my shirt. 'Can never be too careful' I said as I got out my car.

After dropping my bags I made a B line for my bedroom. Key said I got a trip this weekend so I need to be ready. I got out my duffle bag and began packing. See the best thing about this drug shit is they never suppect me. I am not the stereotype of what a drug dealer, smuggler, or trafficker should be. Im all but 5'7 with a booty but im a light weight. Besides my earrings and watches im never flashy..thats how you get caught. To be real im the best thing that could have happened to Key but im sure he would say that about me. Im a light traveler so I only packed the essentials and kept it moving. I set my bag at the front door and layed down in my king size bed. I let my mind wonder and all I could think about was this chocolate man who properly ignored my rudeness and still gave me his mathematics. By the time I looked at the clock it was 3 a.m.! I attempted to roll over and close my eyes but something was sticking me in my side so I sat up. I let out a slight laugh as it was the crumpled up paper that read 'King'...

I contemplate if I should use it going back and forth in my mind. 'Fuck it, let me spin this nigga right quick.' I was suprised he answered on the 3rd ring and even.more suprised by his words 'So I see you knocked that chip off your shoulder...' I let out a slight giggle in a feminine way 'I guess I did' there was a slight pause in dialogue as he questioned my intentions indirectly. 'I guess?' he said. 'Yes' I shot back with an attitude. 'So what is it that you want to know King?' I could hear him smiling through the phone. 'I like the sound of my name coming from you, so if I may return the favor what is your name?'

I never gave my actually name out so as if second nature I told him Ivy.

'So Ivy what has you up this time of the night?'

'Didn't know I should be asleep, I should ask you the same.'

'I was up waiting on you...'

This nigga got some nerve with his arrogant ass lol.

'Oh really, well since you're so sure of everything tell me what I will do next..'

'Well..-'

Before he got a chance to answer I hung up. See I told you im not a bird and these niggas dont ruffle my feathers.

When I woke up the next morning I felt like myself again...unattached and hood rich. I checked my phone to see if Key called since today is Wednesday gotta be on call to make sure aint shit changed. Instead of a missed calls I had few texts which I immediately began to read.

'Hey beautiful let me make up my over confidence to you and put a smile on your face. Meet me down.at the harbor 11 sharp.'

I re-read the message like what the fuck ugh. I looked at my clock which showed 9:45. I didn't have much planned for the day so I said why not. I quickly took a shower and lotioned up. I put my hair in a high messy bun, threw on my diamond earrings with my Michael Khors watch. I decided to go slightly girly and wore an off the shoulder shirt with some khaki shorts hell it was too hot for anything else. I put my sandles on and was out the door by 10:40. I live off auchetoroly so my trip downtown was only 15 minutes. As soon as I made it to where you could see the water I see another text.

"Meet me at Clementine"

By this time I was getting irritated and was about to turn around and go home but he spotted me. Just like the night before we locked eyes as I was pulling over. I went to step out my car only to have him holding the door open. 'What the hell is he doing' I thought to myself.

"Good morning Dear Ivy"

"Good morning Dear King" I snapped backs he led the way into this small breakfast bistro. I was actually slightly nervous but of course I made all efforts to conceal  my feelings. I was thinking how can I traffic kilos for Big Key across state lines and be just fine but as soon as Im around this man Im in knots. I quickly brushed the thought out of my mind.
