Captured

The Unexpected

She sighs in annoyance.

"Girl, you do this every time. Why'd you ask me if my opinion doesn't matter?"

I waved her off.

I'm very indecisive, yet I tend not to listen to feedback. It's a bad trait of mine.

"I don't want to waste my money. If you don't love it in the store, you won't wear it."

She nods her head in agreement.

"True. I think you should get it though. It'll bring out your curves. With a figure like yours, I'd take all opportunities to show it off."

Hm... I guess I'll get it.

"Alright, so what are you getting?"

She shrugs her shoulders in return.

"I have no idea. I was thinking about this, but I don't know. What do you think?"

She held out a beige knitted bralette top with some ripped jeans.

"Yeah, that's really cute", I respond.

We went to the cash register to pay for our outfits, then headed to the food court which is located at the center of the mall. I'm damn near starving and this food definitely won't go to waste.

Hm, I think I'm in the mood for some Panda Express.

I suddenly heard Mercedes gasp.

"Girl, is that Damien?", she points out.

I smacked her hand down.

"Don't point. That's rude. Plus he might see us", I scold her.

We wouldn't want that.

"You're right. Wait a minute, ain't that the same bitch who aborted his baby?", she recalls with wide eyes.

I nod my head in confirmation as I take a good look at her. I squint my eyes while observing the small, round pudge.

Yikes.

"Looks like she's pregnant again. That ain't none of my business though", I conclude before looking off in another direction.

Damien can be identified as my irrelevant ex, in case you guys were wondering.

He's old news.

We grabbed a quick bite to eat before deciding to part ways. I need to get out of here before he notices me. That would surely be a disaster.

Since the concert starts at nine thirty, I'll take a nap and wake back up at like seven thirty. Very precise, I know, but I like to be on time for everything. Being late gets you nowhere in life. Creating scheduled times is the only way that I know how to stay organized. I don't know about you, but it takes a while for me to get ready. Plus I'm tired as hell.

Then again, I'm always tired.

I woke up by the sound of my phone alarm letting me know that it's time to get up. I hopped in the shower and did my hygiene. I stayed in there for about fifteen minutes before getting out.
