"Hey, Onyx. I know we aint talk in a minute, but you know I never meant for shit to go down like that. I put you in sticky situation dat you ain't deserve to be in and that's on me, baby. You prolly think I'm messing with this girl and that girl, but nahhh, I ain't even on dat. I see you on da gram, you doing yo shit. I'm proud. Hit me back when you in the Ye." I listened to Akari's voice message
I met Akari when I was fifteen, at school. We started messing around when we were sixteen, I was actually oblivious that he wanted me until his friend told me. I obviously played hard to get. When he did get me though, he took my virginity. He admits, I'm his best body. I really don't fuck around in that bed
That's besides the point, we broke up after seven months of dating, three months after he took my V-card. We would talk as friends in the hallways sometimes, but for the most part we didn't text or call until my nineteenth birthday
He basically happy birthday-ed his way back into my life and then we were talking. I stopped talking to him shortly after because a girl had popped up on us when we were about to have sex. It was embarrassing even though we wasn't back together
The girl didn't know we was about to fuck, thankfully. She did do the most though and we was about to fight, but Akari deescalated that quickly
I pressed the audio button. "Hey, Akari. You really did put me in a sticky situation, but it's been a long time and I'm off of it. Also, thank you. That means a lot. I'm back in Miami now, what's up?" I spoke into the phone
akari
Pick up
My phone began to ring and I answered it knowing who it was
"Hey." I spoke in a shy tone as I put some stuff in my drawers. I wasn't nervous or shy at all though
"Hey, Oni. What you on?" He asked
"Nothing, I just came from Cancun." I sighed because I was sorta tired
I just got back from trip to Cancun, I came in the house and immediately took a shower and got dressed in the most comfortable clothes
"You sound tired." He chuckled
"I am." I stressed, plopping down on my bed
"Who you went with?" He asked
"Hali?" He added
"No, just me, myself, and I." I joked, looking at my nails that I had got done before my trip
"Miss. Independent type shit. I'm tryna see you." He licked his lips, looking at me
"You gon be tryna see me for a minuteeee." I dragged, making a yikes face
It wasn't like I just blatantly didn't want to see him, but I didn't trust that and definitely didn't want history to repeat itself
"Why?" He shook his head
"I don't trust that. I don't got time for what comes with that." I expressed, honestly
He smacked his lips, but what could he do besides accept it? He brung this on himself. No guy of mine popped on us, but a girl of his definitely did
"That's how you feeling?" He questioned me
"Yeah, boo." I raised my eyebrows
"It ain't nobody to blame but me so I get it. You been good though?" He asked
"I've been fine, how you been?" I shrugged then deeply sighed
"I been straight, baby." He said, running his tongue over his bottom lip
We talked for a good minute until he got mad and hung up on for bringing up that he a quick nutter. He was honestly overreacting because he been knew I never gave a damn, as long as I get mines.
I turned over in my bed to put my phone on the charger by my nightstand. Then, I closed my eyes, putting the cover over my whole body and went to sleep

"So how you want it?" Brit, my hairstylist asked me as I sat down in her chair
She had my bundles in her hand so the hairstyle i was getting was obvious. She just didn't know if I wanted side, middle, or no part
"You gon be so mad with me." I said with a slight pout
"Oni." She pointed her finger at me
I showed her a half up, half down hairstyle that had the two pigtails and she shook her head
"You lucky I love you." She said before a girl walked in, walking towards her
"I'm here to drop off my wig." The girl said to her
"Name under appointment?" She asked
"Sha'bria." The girl said, she took her wig and wrote her name on it then the girl left
She started to take my hair out the bonnet but stopped midway. "You already know it's gon be an up charge." She held my head
"Girl... I know, I know." I said jokingly even though I did know
"Okay." She said before handing me my bonnet, she began to do my braid down
Brit was done with my hair in about two hours. She turned me around towards the mirror to her booth to see my hair
"I like ittt." I squealed and smiled
"You welcome, girl." She smiled as well
She told me how much my total was and I gave it to her by Cash App. When I left I had so many errands to run
Or did I.
Target was my first stop. I bought Starbucks and some skin care stuff, along with candles
I really, really like smell good items
"Melo is calling" The bluetooth in my car announced, cutting my music as I drove towards Walmart
I pressed the answer button on the screen and waited for him to speak
"Bruh, where is yo sister?" He asked in an agitated way, I furrowed my eyebrows
"I have multiple and also, even if you were to clarify which you were talking about, I still wouldn't know." I shrugged
"I don't keep tabs on them, what do you need though?" I added
"Somebody to take me to the barbershop, Kobi not picking it up. She at that man house." He said, causing me to raise my eyebrows
"Where your parents?" I asked
"I'm sked to go in the there." He said and I side-eyed, not even about to ask why
"I'm coming, but you better be ready to go when I pull up." I warned him
"Okay, okay." He said defensively
"See you in a few." I told him before I hung up the phone and my music started back playing
My phone dinged off of a text message, I took it from the cup holder to see who was texting me

He took my advice and called me. "Hello?" I answered his call
"You had fun in Cancun?" He asked
"I did, I did." I smiled just reminiscing about the good time I had
"That's good." He said before a bitch tried to get over without they blinker, almost causing me to hit the back of they raggedy ass car
"Watch where you going, bitch!" I exclaimed, blowing my horn heavily
"Oh, you got road rage. You look like the type." He laughed and I rolled my eyes
"What's that supposed to mean, Maceon?" I questioned
"Nun, calm down. I'm watching where I'm going." He tried to be funny
"Boy, don't do too much. Where you at?" I asked just because
"In the house, I'm finna sleep all day." He said
"Why? You ain't been getting rest or something?" I asked as I came to a yellow light, I sped up to beat the red light
"I ain't sleep in two days, I been on go." He let out a loud yawn while I shook my head at what he was saying
"That's not good, at all. Me personally, I always make time for my sleep. That's my best friend." I expressed
"I know it ain't good, that's why I'm finna just sleep today. I just got in the house." He said
"Mace, it's about to three o'clock. What did you do today?" I asked
"Work." He said
"What you did?" He added on
"I came home from the airport, showered, slept, and got my hair done." I shrugged
"That's why you going to the barbershop." He laughed
"Get outta my face, that's not even why." I laughed with him, pulling up to my parents house
"I'll call you later. Get yo rest, boo." I clicked my seatbelt and grabbed my phone
"Ight, shawty." He said and the phone hung up
I grabbed my purse and keys as well then got out, locking the doors to my car before walking up to the house door
Before I could even knock, Melo was coming out the door. I furrowed my eyebrows at his eagerness to get a haircut
"Why you so eager?" I asked genuinely curious
"The party I was telling you about tomorrow, all the hoes finna be out and I can't be looking like dis." He lifted his hat
"It's not even bad." I said honestly
"We ain't gon speak on it." He shook his head
"Come on." I said then we got in my car. I let him drive while I sat in the passenger seat, recording
myself
"You ugly, you know that?" He asked
"Yeah." I nodded
I've came to a point where I just stopped feeding into his and Amina bullshit. They could go to the league for hating if it was a sport
"Same barbershop?" I asked
"Hell nah, I switched when they pushed me back to Canada." He said, causing me to start cracking up
"That's crazy." I shook my head
He drove to his new barber's barbershop which was fifteen minutes away.
"You should open the door for me." I said as he got out the driver's seat
"Ight." He said then came around
He opened it and when I was getting out, he pushed me damn near on the ground. He started cackling
"Melo, that's not even funny." I rolled my eyes
"Onyx, you got me right?" He looked over at me
I shook my head no profusely. After he just did that? Hell no
"Maneeee." He said with a look of defeat then opened the door. to his barber shop, I followed him in
Guys looked at me as I sat down meanwhile Melo made his way to his barber's chair
"You his momma?" An older barber there asked me
"Unt unt, no kids. He just my brother." I nodded
"Need me a fine, young, and tender lil thang." He said, making the whole shop laugh besides my brother. He just looked at him while I shrugged
"Get off my sister dick, OG." Melo looked at him
"Boy, I could be yo granddaddy." He shot back and Melo shook his head
Once his barber was done, he had got a temper fade and cross at the back of his head. Or a sword, I don't know
He paid for it because I was standing on what I said. Why would you push me?
