It's Sunday. I was laying down, procrastinating on working out. Instead, I diverted my attention to Netflix, watching Pretty Little Liars. Well, re-watching Pretty Little Liars. It was one of my favorite Netflix shows, and I could never get tired of it.
My phone started ringing and I quickly declined it without looking at who it was. I also turned it on vibrate. It was Sunday. Why am I getting bothered... on a Sunday? It's not that I was antisocial. It's just that Sundays are me-days. My days. Nobody-fucking-bother-me day.
I began scrolling on Twitter, shifting my attention from the TV to my phone, laughing. Twitter was a hilarious ass app.
My phone continued to vibrate, and I looked at who it was while groaning. It was Jaden... my toxic ass ex. I ignored it again and continued to scroll on Twitter.
He called another seven times, and finally, I answered on his eighth try.
I admired myself as the facetime call began connecting, smiling, and even popping a lil titty. As soon as it connected, my smile dropped and I quickly repositioned the focus on myself, mugging the camera.
"What tf you want bruh" I said.
"Damn good morning to you too", he said while smiling. He looked so good... but I wasn't gonna let him know that.

"Jaden I'm busy bro make this quick... what do you want", lying my ass off.
"Pull up. We gotta talk".
My heart dropped. What do we have to talk about? I haven't done anything... I think. Even if I did do something unintentionally, I don't owe him any loyalty. I am single. ASF. I don't owe anybody anything and I can do anything I want. Plus, of all people, I certainly don't owe Jaden shit.
Jaden was my "first love" or whatever tf you want to call it. We went to high school together and dated my entire 11th-grade year. He cheated on me multiple times, including on the night of my birthday. My dumbass took him back, but of course, that did not last.
