*Erica Mena
"As you all know that this week is fashion week and it's very important that we have everything together." Kim said to the staff.
We were currently sitting in the staff meeting room conversing the details for New York Fashion Week. Well Kim was talking, I was just watching her. She looked so good in control.
"I sent out emails to everyone for this week and next week, everything is on the line so bring ya best work and attitude." She said pulling her glasses from her face.
Everyone took that as their cue to get back to work leaving us two in the staff room. I thought everything would have been mad awkward between us since everything popped off on Saturday, but it's been chill.
"I'm gonna run over to the fabric store for a few things. You need anything?" She asked me
Taking in her beauty I stood up "Follow me to my office." I said leading the way
Once we were into my warm domain I took a seat in my comfy chair.
"Wassup? You good?" She asked
"Yeah, I'm fine...I just wanted to make sure we were straight...you know-" she cut me off
"Of course we're good." She smiled brightly already knowing what I was getting at
"I mean I know that, we're always gonna be good...I just wanted to tell you that we took a big risk on Saturday...and I really don't mind it." I finish
I mean I've always tried to get at Kim, but with us being friends and working together I never fell through with it and now that I've got a taste I wouldn't mind having another tasting party.
"Me either." She blushed
"But let's talk about this over dinner?" I said in a questioning manor
"Sure." She said before she was interrupted by the front desk girl.
"Miss.Mena you have a visitor." She said
"Bring them in." I said keeping my eyes on Kim
"Right away." She said disappearing
"I'm thinking after dinner we can grab a few drinks." I suggested in the meantime
"Aw no you don't, you're not about to get me all drunk!" She laughed
"You got me drunk on Saturday, I think it's only fair if I return the favor." I smiled
"Ok, we can go for drinks but at my choice of bar, because all the bars you like be too packed with aggressive dudes." She said until someone cleared their throat leaving us to look up to see Cyn standing tall in her six inch heels
"Uh, may I help you?" I asked sitting up
She was the last person I thought I would see standing at my office door.
"Hey Erica, I just wanted to talk to you...I really didn't like the way things ended between us." She said making Kim suck her teeth and roll her eyes
"Oh hey Kim, you look pretty today." She smiled at Kim
"Thanks sweetie." Kim replied back returning her attention to me
"I'll be back, lot of things to do today." She said grabbing her things proceeding to make her way past Cyn.
"Don't forget about our dinner date tonight." I stopped her letting her know that Cyn being here doesn't effect out plans.
"Ok. Until then." She said switching her way out my office across to hers.
Bringing my attention back to Cyn, I was the one to clear my throat this time.
"Wassup...I'm kinda pressed for time." I said
"Stop Erica." She said simply taking a seat as if she deserved it. As if she deserved to waltz into my office and demand my time and attention. The nerves of women today.
"I didn't like the way we ended things last time we seen each other." She said crossing her legs
"Ok and part of that falls on you." I said crossing my hands
It was true, she was the one not acting her age, but instead her shoe size. A solid 7.
"We're not playing this game Erica." She said in an annoyed expression
"What game am I play?" I asked
I was doing everything, but that. I'm done playing games with this woman.
"The blame game Erica, we're not doing that." She shook her head
"I ain't blaming you, I just think it's right that as adults we take responsibility in our actions." I said calmly, I was gone keep it 100 degrees of cute today, mainly because I felt pretty good...thanks to a lowkey weekend with Kim.
"Ok and what did you do?" She asked
"Maybe, I shouldn't have been so open, you know I left myself fully opened and allowed myself to get played and that I take full responsible of." I spoke truthfully
I can't blame anyone for that, but myself. But never again tho. You can't say that Erica Mena never tried that's for sure.
"That's how you really feel?" She asked with hurt in her voice
"YUP." I rolled my eyes
"I didn't play you." She defended herself
"Word? Cause it seemed like you played me. All on Instagram talking bout love." I recalled
"I shouldn't have done that but you were ignoring me." She pouted and then it donned on me, that I don't need a childish woman. I need a girl that got her act together.
"You childish son." Was all I said before I got an incoming call from Kim.
Hushing Cyn I answered my phone
"You haven't been gone for 30 minutes and you already need my assistants." I joked
"You wish. But nah, I was thinking about you and decided to being in something to eat." She said putting a little smile on my face
"Oh word? You just thought about me." I cockily joked
"Yes Erica, I'm at moe's what do you want?" She laughed at my antics
"Uhhhh...I don't know you order for me." I replied
Slick haven't ate there in a minute kinda forgot what they serve.
"Um, what about a Stake crunch bowl?" She suggested
It sounded right to me "Yeah that's fine."
"Alright mama, see you in a few." She said
"Thank you baby." I said before hanging up and getting back to the subject at hand
"Word?" Cyn asked
"What?!" I mugged her
"You gone flirt with someone else right in front of me?!" She snapped
"Look you not my girl, you wasted your time coming down here shorty." I said
"You are such an ass Erica. I tried fixing this for your sake because you nagged me to, then you try to play me?! You've got to be kidding me!" She spat
Are my ears working correctly or did this girl try to hoe me not once, not twice, but THREE times in MY office?! Aw hell naw.
"I ain't never have to beg nobody to be with me, and I ain't finna start. So if that's what you got from this then maybe you should just keeping it Pushin' with old dude, Erica Mena don't need nobody that ain't already in my life. And everybody that I lost I ain't want back so you got me full fledge phucked up! You're dismissed." I said pressing the button to get Melissa to get her up out of here
"Yes ma'am." Mel answered
"Please come show Cyn the door." I said then released the button, grabbing Cyn's purse and jacket handing it to her in assisting her to her way out.
Mel waited by the door for her to lead the way to the shameful walk to where ever she came from. She gone try and play me? ME, Of all people. Like I said I catch flights, not feelings.
*Kim
Getting off the elevator I seen Mel and Cyn walking to the front desk, when Cyn stopped me.
"You gotta talk to Erica for me." She pleaded
Now why would I go and do that?
"Sorry, I can't hun." I said mustering up all the kindness that I could
"No you don't understand, I messed up big time." She said with sad eyes
Sorry but I'm not.
"No can do...sorry gotta go." I said swearving past her
Now I know Erica, and I love her to death and for the past few years I've seen her play woman left and right. But she's really not like that, she's a great woman and I really thought Cyn was the one to change her. But I guess I was wrong.
Hoes. They never learn.
Now it's my turn in taming Erica.

-Love Kieshanna
