"Hold up Lai look at them fine ass niggas that just walked in" I turned towards where she said and whew chile she was definitely right. Sexy lil light skin man with twist outs.
The other one was a dark skin with waves. "I like the light skin one what about you?" "Dark chocolate all the way boo, your kids gon come out hella white keep on dating all these no good ass light skin."
"Actually I only dated one and he treated me well for your information." "Fine Lai" she said rolling her I shook my head as I knew she hated being wrong.
"They coming this way Lay" I whispered to her as I watched them come this way with the waiter.
She sat them in a booth right next to ours like oh no! Or waiter came back with some rolls and our drinks. "What would you guys like?" "Um the seafood alfredo." I was a lil scared to try they lamb chops cause if they not actually good then ima be mad, so I decided to play it safe.
"And you?" "Lemme get the steak with the loaded potato's and a side of macaroni." She wrote it all down and took are menus.
"So would you talk with Harlem again?" "I don't know I feel like he wouldn't talk to me again... like what I did you just can't forgive you know." She nodded as she sipped her drink.
"Yeah but at some point you gotta move on Lai you can't let that keep stopping you from getting in a relationship." I nodded not really listening to her.
"Sorry to interrupt yall conversation" the dark skin male that we saw said. "Um but me and my friend want y'all Instagram or sum." The light skin one came over here looking directly at me.
"Wassup wit y'all my name Siah" he licked his lips as he held heavy eye contact with me. "And what's yours?" Laylin said whoever get in a relationship with her I pray chile.
Lay gotta be the worst person to date no shade to her but it's true, she be crashing out and then acting nonchalant. Ion blame her tho her last relationship that lasted a two years was cheating on her the whole time.
Whew that's when I brought out the old me, man we busted the windows out his house, slashed his cars, burned his clothes, egged his house a month later, and when he got new tires we slashed them too. We were demons.
"My name Khalil sweetheart" he got a lil country accent to him. "Ok ima give you my Instagram Khalil" as they talked and exchanged things over here was quiet.
"Why you bein all shy what's yo name?" "Malai." I said quietly as I spun my ice around in my cup. "I can't get yo Instagram or sum?" "No you can here" I typed it in on his phone.
"Oh my sister be wearing yo clothes." "Tell her I said thank you." I mumbled. "Ight it was nice meeting you Malai" "you to Siah" they walked back to there table and I stared at Laylin.
"Baby did you hear that man's accent? Whew chile he can do what ever he wants with me." I shook my head laughing cause girl what? "Ion know bout his friend tho... I don't know I don't like his energy." Maybe I was just being paranoid but something seemed a lil off.
"I don't know he seems nice to me." I hummed picking at my nails. "Yeah maybe you right I'm just tripping." She nodded and the lady came with our food "thank you"
I said my grace in my head starting to eat.
I was in my work room packaging up stuff again when the person I was shipping it too caught my eye. Harlem it was definitely him it had his last name too, I grabbed my phone opening Instagram.
I clicked on messages and sent him a thank you text, I seen he read it and started to type.
We ended up having a whole conversation about everything, I asked for his number and he said it was the same one still.
I don't know why I know this man's number by heart still but i do. I asked him to FaceTime cause I don't really think it was any harm in it was it? Oh em gee lemme find out I'm being friendly... that wasn't my plan I'm just tired of talking to Lay like no shade girl but I need somebody else to talk too.
He started to call me and I grew nervous as I answered. "Wassup Malai hol up why yo camera off?" He was all up in the camera all you seen was forehead and his eyes.
"My bad dang it's set like that" I turned my camera on and immediately started staring at myself and posing. "Now you feelin yo self yo much go ahead and turn it right back off."
I laughed "you such a hated Harlem you know I'm cute" "yeah whatever" he set up his camera and he was in what looked like a sound proof room.
"You making something?" I said bringing my camera closer to see if he was. "Yeah I'm making something for Maf Teeski." "Oh him? He fine too me but ion know the four fingers be throw in me off..."
"Guh get off my phone playin wimme talkin bout he fine." "I can't call nobody fine now?" He scrunched his face up smoothing his waves. "Hell nah Malai fuck" he would hate to hear about my experience at the restaurant then.
"Wait you wanna see my new lil collection I'm dropping?" He stopped the music "yeah lemme see and if it's ass I'm telling you." I smacked my lips getting up and going out the frame getting my iPad.
I sat back down and went on the app where I design new clothes.
"Ok so it's another summer collection the first one that I dropped sold out in a day and everybody begging me to drop another one."
I showed him my ideas and he was silent. "You don't like it?" "Nah that shit fire why did you wanna put inspirational shit on your hoodies tho?"
"Oh um because back when I started wanting to do my clothing brand I was still in a bad state. So I decided why not make something to make other people feel happy? So that's what I did."
"Yeah yo shit fire Malai I'm deadass proud of you for real." "Thank you Harlem you gon make me cry for real" I sucked it up cause I didn't want to cry right now" "malai yo ass still a crybaby?" He said laughing I smacked my lips.
"Shut up Harlem I ain't no crybaby the fuck now you got me mad." He stopped laughing and just stared at the camera. "I'm sorry Lai I ain't mean to call you a cry baby you forgive me?" "No get off my phone playin with me Harlem. ugly." I hung up now actually mad.
He called me back and I answered. It was silent for awhile we were both looking at the camera. "I said I was sorry now stop actin like a brat, that shit aint cute you don't got to forgive me but don't be hanging up in my face Malai."
"Whatever" he shook his head smirking. "Anyways" I scrunched my face up at his pettiness. "You got me being mean to you and stuff" "so why is you being mean to me then Malai if you don't like it?"
"Cause you called me a crybaby like I'm not one. You are how about that." "I guess I'm a crybaby then" my face was still scrunched up. And I hung up the phone again in his face.
I laid down closing my eyes.
