Chapter 15 

It was Friday afternoon and I had a smile on my face. I had done the impossible and avoided Blake the whole week. Jason and Josh didn't think I would be able to do it and made a bet against me. We were sitting in Jermaine's car and I had my hand out waiting for the money. We were driving to Georgetown to celebrate.  

'Remind me to not bet against you guys ever again.' josh mumbled and gave me my money. 

I smiled, 'remember when I'm focused on something. I focus real hard on it.'  

Jason gave his and I counted it and divided it between Jermaine and myself. He took and smiled, 'I know this girl longer than you guys and I've seen her pull off the impossible before. Anyway if she was able to ignore Blake for two months, what's a week?' 

'You ignored him for two months? When was this?' Jason asked. Jermaine and I nodded. 'How come I never noticed it?'  

'It was very subtle on her part. Josh always says he's shady. You have nothing on this one. Don't underestimate her just because she has a tendency to be oblivious.' Jermaine said and I smiled.  

He then asked, 'are you going to Seneca's wedding?' 

'Hell No! Do you want me to land up in hospital for food contamination?' I answered. 'I told my dad he and Jamal can go. They said they'd rather die.'  

Jermaine was about to say something but Josh interrupted. 'Who is Seneca?' 

I sighed, 'she's Jermaine and I's cousin. Mine from my mother's side. Jermaine's from his biological father's side.'  

'And you guys aren't going her wedding? But she's family.' Jason asked.  

Jermaine and I snorted, 'why are snorting?'  

Jermaine decided to answer, 'please she was happy when we had RSVP no because she and her mother are extreme cheapskates. I wonder how they arranged the wedding.' 

Jason and Josh still looked confused. I sighed, 'let me give you an example. Her mother is my aunt and they came to visit two years ago. She had a problem at how we were spending and wasting money.' I shook my head and my voice got louder, 'where in life your life do you hear of cooking mac and cheese in the dishwasher? Then you go and put dirty dishes with it.'  

Jermaine then said, 'it was covered in foil.'  

I glared at him, 'I tasted the detergent. It's one thing to be stingy but to compromise your personal health and hygiene for money. I'm sorry I stop there. Where do you get the fuckin idea of using your bath water to wash dishes?' 

'Yeah, yeah. I know. Please stop avoiding Blake you're getting very loud these days.' Jermaine mumbled.  

I glared at him again, 'I want a very good explanation. I can maybe agree with him a little bit.' he turned to argue, 'wait. Wait. I said a little bit. He said I act innocent and that's not the case. Well of course that's true. That is the only thing though.' 

He nodded, 'yes that's all you have to take to heart. But knowing you.' he shook his head. 

'He's probably also upset he has to wait longer to have sex with you.' josh said. 

I turned to him, 'of course and don't think I'm going to make it any easier for him either' 

Jermaine snorted, 'please, you want him in there.' 

I was about tell him more shit then Jason said, 'don't feel guilty about feeling that way either. He did say that stuff because he was angry and yes him thinking about it subconsciously. But look at us who wouldn't be insecure of seeing their girl with us.'
