I was feasting like royalty. My food was delicious despite the previous bad service. I had been craving foods like waffles and bacon lately. My two moods are either sweet or savory.
I cut a huge piece of pancake and stuffed it into my mouth.
"Mmm.", I moaned.
I could die happy knowing that I got to eat this as a last meal.
"Chill out with those moans. I'm starting to get jealous." , Ty laughed.
I looked up at him under my eyelashes. I didn't respond. I just sipped my juice thinking of the ways he made me moan.
"Tyty why would you be jelly-ous?"
He grinned at her cute way of speaking.
"It's not jelly-ous princess. Jealous."
"Jealous."
He nodded. "Right."
"Why would you be jealous of her moaning about food. Do you want to eat it instead?"
I choked on my drink. I patted my chest and tried to calm down. I could tell that my face had gotten hot. Partly from the choking, and also from how quickly my mind thought negatively about what a four year old said. I need some church.
Tyrie looked concerned, but his eyes were bright. He knew why the fuck I was choking.
"Are you good Pretty T?" She said patting my back.
"Yea baby I'm fine. Something just got caught in my throat."
"Not yet." Tyrie mumbled taking a bite of his omelet.
I shot him a glare and made sure that Charm didn't hear. Nothing was gonna be in my throat anytime soon if he messes around anymore today. I will not be explaining how babies are made to a four year old because of him.
"Hmm what did you say?"
He shook his head smirking at me.
"Nothing pretty girl."
"That's exactly what you're getting tonight; nothing. And don't ask me what I mean because you know."
His face fell.I cackled maniacally at his hurt puppy dog face. He makes the cutest little face when he knows that he night get blue balls. You might call me evil. I call it comedy gold.
I wiped my mouth on a napkin. I left to the bathroom to reapply my lip gloss. The bathroom was actually pretty clean. A few other women were in there with me. A red headed woman and an Asian women kept staring at me the whole time I was in there. They were making me nervous as hell staring like that. I want to appear more confident, so I made eye contact with them through the mirror.
The red head rolled her eyes and spoke first.
"Why do you keep staring at us weirdo? Are you a stalker or something?"
The both laughed like that was the funniest they had ever heard. I was beyond confused. Who the Hell wants to have a whole conversation in the public bathroom? Having a talk surrounded by dooky air is disgusting. Being disturbed didn't help me stand up for myself though.
"Uh you stared at me first. I would never want to stalk you. You really don't seem that interesting."
The Asian gasped obnoxiously. By now you could see how confused I was. Also I was taking way too long in here. Tyrie was gonna start to think I was taking a shit or something.
"Wow for a fat girl you aren't very nice. I thought that you people were supposed to be jolly or merry."
At that I headed to leave. My head was starting to hurt and my ears were ringing from their high pitched voices .
"Wait! We needed to ask you something."
I sighed. "What could you possibly need from me? A stranger."
The red head grinned and gave me a slip of paper. I raised my brow at them.
"We just wanted you to give your friend our numbers. Tell him that he could call us anytime, so we could link up."
My eye twitched a bit and I tried to process this. This is the second fucking time today that some random bitch tried me.
"Why the fuck does everybody keep assuming that he is my friend or my brother. He is my boyfriend. Not a relative, and not a platonic acquaintance. I know that it may be hard to believe, but I can and have gotten a man like him to want me. I don't know how or why, but he seems to really care about me. So no, I'm not going to give him your number. What I will give you is an ass kicking if you even try anything else. I hope you both enjoy your meal."
I stormed out and mumbled curses until I got to the table.
"Are you all ready to leave yet?"
They looked up startled at my harsh tone. I was honestly done with breakfast. I just want to get out of these clothes and relax in my own home.
"Uh yeah baby we can leave now if that's what you want."
They gathered their things while I held in my frustration tears. I sniffled and blinked my eyes rapidly trying not to cry in a IHOP. I really am starting to hate that I cry when I'm mad.
Charm ran out to the car. Ty got the door for me on the way out. He grabbed my elbow and pulled me to the side. He first glanced at his sister and turned back to me.
"What's wrong. What happened in the bathroom that fucking crying? Do I have to make a woman disappear because I can do that."
I shook my head head at him. I have little doubt that he could do that. I wrapped my arms around my stomach. Now I didn't feel as confident as before. Those women in the bathroom were gorgeous and slim. They had great bodies.
"I just. . .it's really nothing. I'm fine."
"What the fuck Shunt'A. We have discussed this over and over again. Dozens of times. We can not work out our problems if we don't talk about them. Just tell me what's wrong, so we both can work to fix it. Don't hold shit like that inside of you." He reached out for me, but I moved. He looked a little hurt.
I stratched at the stretch marks on my exposed stomach and hips. I felt naked outside now.
"A couple of girls were staring at me in the bathroom. We had a short convo that ended in them wanting me to give you their number. They thought I was your friend. People that look at us think that a girl like me could never be with a man like you. I'm fat with long stretch marks all over my body. My stomach is too big. My breast are sagging way too early. My feet are even above average length. I'm just not what people consider beautiful. I feel ugly when just five minutes ago I was happy and comfortable. My mood swings have been out of control lately." I tried to swallow the lump in my throat. "Plus I really want to cry."
He brought me in a hug and let me latch onto him for comfort. I sniffed his Axe covered shirt. He massaged the lower part of my back. It has been hurting and I didn't realize until he made it feel better. I let out an uneasy breath on his neck. He shivered and I felt a peck on my temple. His thumb formed circles on my lower back.
"Baby."
"Hmm?" I breathed out.
"When was the last time you got your period?"
"W-what?"
He pulled back with a serious look. I looked at him in confusion.
"Your menstrual cycle, babe. When is it due?"
"Umm the 21st of this month. What's the date?"
"Bae it's the 23rd today. You're two days late."
That alone had me crying again.
"I'm two days late. Why didn't my period come?"
He laughed straight in my face like this was funny or something.
"That's probably the reason for the mood swings, cravings, and the backaches. Have you felt bloated or been having headaches?"
"Well I mean yeah-"
"Again probably because your hormones are out of whack. How about we drop Charm off at home, and I buy you some tea to help bring it on? Will that make you happy big baby?"
I pouted and nodded.
"No thank you?"
"Thank you daddy."
"Your welcome baby. We're gonna talk about what went down in the bathroom when you're less likely to cry. I hate it when you cry. Now give me lips. "
I kissed him making a sound. He kissed me back gently. Ty wrapped his arms around me and pulled me in by my waist. We pulled back both breathing heavier. A carb horn went off really close to us. I jumped and saw Charm leaning over the front seat with her hand on the horn.
I patted his hard chest and laughed.
"Come on. We gotta go before Charm decides she can drive her self home."
It is 1:30 now. I have fucking school tomorrow. No worries though, cuz I've been taking naps all week. I'm ready to drop out and shake ads for cash. Pray my soul some patience.
