I watched as the three dots popped up. I wasn't really in the mood to talk to this man about anything, shit I didn't even want to know why the bitch Sadie was even in house.
He got me feeling like there's something going on between them that's more than just grieving. They probably grieved in ways that I don't even want to think about and that's the bad part.
Now look at me, carrying this man's baby and me and him not even together. I feel so stupid.
Stupid for overreacting and stupid for letting this man plant a seed in me. Shit, I should've known me and him wasn't gonna' last long. But why I had to see it now?
"Hey Manny!!!!." My Auntie Sky blurted our as she walked past my room and into my moms.
"Hey Auntie Sky!." I yelled back.
Checking the time it was late, going on 9 o'clock right about now, I forgot my mom telling me that them two was headed out for the night to enjoy themselves. Something I've missed doing with Stephanie, but as soon as she gets better we're gonna' go have some fun.
Getting another text and phone call from Dave, I decided to turn off my phone. I didn't have time for this man tonight, I just simply didn't wanna' talk why he couldn't understand that.
I grabbed my towel and headed for the shower. Making sure I grab my body wash from off my dresser. I hate keeping my wash in the bathroom, because everybody in this motherfucker felt entitled to use it. It's not like they be courteous and use a little they use the whole fucking bottle.
"Don't take long in the shower, Manny. You know how you do." Mani crossed her arms.
"Hoe, why you clocking me getting in the shower?"
She sucked her teeth, "Bitch, because everybody has to take a shower other than you."
I was about to say something to her but I didn't. Not just with Dave, but I didn't have the energy to go back and forth with anybody matter of fact.
Flipping her the bird, I closed the bathroom door and proceeded to tend to my body.
•. •. •.
I finally woke up after passing out from that shower earlier, I must've slept through the night because it was already 9 in the morning. Looking out the window the sun beamed through it, hitting my chocolate brown skin.
Judging by what people was wearing, I figured it was chilly out. Which also gave me a hint of what to put on when I decide to step out.
Knock Knock Knock
"Come in," I answered. It was mama, "Hey ma, you had fun last night with Auntie?"
She gave me a look, I chuckled. "I can't take this Bitch anywhere. We always gotta' get into it with someone because of her ass."
"Oh god, what she do?"
"You know Sky. This bitch is nuts."
I laughed once again, cause Tommie and Auntie Sky is both nuts. I don't know why this lady think she a saint, cause she's really not.
"Mommy—.."
"Mommy what? Manny you know that lady crazy. Anyway I was coming in here to tell you that someone is here to talk to you, a female."
I have a curious look and nod my head, "Tell them I'll be right there, let me get dressed."
With that, my mom left out my room closing the door behind her. I got dressed in some black leggings an oversized white T-shirt and my black and white UGG fur sandals. I left my hair in a messy bun.
Leaving out my room I grabbed my phone, turning it back on and headed towards the front door. Leaving out the building I noticed the same white car that was at Dave's house, parked out front.
"What the hell." I said more to myself.
The window rolled down, Sadie was sitting in the drivers side.
"Get in," She insisted.
"Why?" I crossed my arms. I didn't wanna go no where with this bitch. But then again, I can use her as a chauffeur for the mean time.
She chuckled and shook her head, "Just get in."
Sucking my teeth I got in the car and put on my seat belt.
"Since you wanted me to get in the car so damn bad take me to Baby Gap." I ordered.

I finally pulled up to my therapy appointment, ready to see how much progress I made in the last couple of weeks. I felt like I was doing good, I was moving about on my own, plus I didn't really have much pain when trying to walk without crutches.
As I entered the room I saw Rachel, she was ending her appointment with a little kid. She gave him nothing but smiles, but when she seen me it dropped. She looked at me like I disgusted her.
"Hey Rach." I smiled, but still she mugged me.
"Ready to begin?" She said dryly.
I nod my head not saying much, as we started our session I felt tension. But it wasn't tension in my body it was tension between the two of us. Like I did something to her.
"Is there a problem?" I asked her..
She waited a couple of minutes then came straight out with it.
"You know I thought me and you was cool until you slept with my man."
I raised an eyebrow. I mean I did sleep with her man, but Bando wasn't the type to kiss and tell. So I don't know how the fuck she found out.
"How you figured?"
"His shirt smelled of the same fragrance ya ass wear to each and every session we have.. y'all think I'm dumb?" She hissed.
"Rachel, listen—.."
She put her hand up to stop me.
"Y'all white bitches think y'all can just come in and take our men right from under us?."
"Bitch hold up, cause I'm not even white. I'm just lighter than the rest, and how dare you get mad at me? He was my man before he was yours,"
She stepped to me but then realized that that battle she tried to make happen wasn't even worth it. She knew what was right, and she knew she had the wrong one. Even though my cousin was dead, he still held weight in these streets.
My word was everything, so the bitch better be careful.
"You know what, as far as I'm concerned... you can have him."
I gave her a smile, "I already had him.."
The rest of the session was kind of....... awkward. Especially when he came to pick her up at the ending of it. He looked at me as if nothing had happened.
It was okay, I didn't sweat it though cause I was done with Bando's ass. Him and the bitch Rachel can live happily ever after For all I care.
I wasn't about to waste time on a nigga that didn't wanna put his time and all into me and only me. Bando, will always be my first love but he won't be my lover. I was good off him.
"Oh so you ain't gonna' say see ya later to ya girlfriend, huh??" Rachel instigated.
He smacked his teeth, " Baby what you talking bout' man?"
She shake her head, "Nothing B.." she grabbed her purse from him and slipped it onto her shoulder walking away from us two..
He looked at me and then continued to walk behind Rachel like the little bitch he was.
I should've never let him taste this again..
