A little Brent for your ears that goes with Jalen and yours relationship.
❥ ❥ ❥ ❥ ❥ ❥

I see my car with Jalen driving. Finally took him long enough. He stops a couple feet away from me. I walk towards the car. Fuck. My white sneakers are ruined. Stupid ass mud. Whatever. I open the car door and sit inside. I put my seatbelt on.

"What took you so long?" I ask.

God. I was freezing my ass off. It was so fucking cold out here.

"Had to pick Nia up." He reply as he pulls out of this sketch ass building. I look back at her to and find her to be asleep.

I look straight ahead watching the rain pour down.

I nod my head.

"You hungry?" He asks.

Before I answer, he pulls into a drive thru. Chick-Fil-a.

I hear the lady speak.

"1 spicy chicken sandwich and one regular with two large fries and one small and 8 piece chicken nuggets. Also can I have extra pickles on the side. No, that's it." He replies to the women.

He pulls forward.

"You still like pickles?" He looks at me.

"Yup."I smile.

Everytime we would get chick-fil-a i would order extra pickles. I love pickles.

We waited patiently in the car for the other cars to pull forward. There was a long line.

I start humming along with the song that on the radio. 'Been Away by Brent Faiyaz"

"I know I been away. I'm just tryna get my papers straight."

I look over at Jalen looking straight ahead. He reminds me a lot of this song.

I actually think me and Jalen were meant to be together. I've never met someone like him. Makes me feel like the only women there is or that he's seen. When we were together he would always make me breakfast. Bring flowers home for me almost everyday. Which actually got annoying but I loved him for it. He would do shit for me that no other man would. But that was the old him. I don't think we'd work out anymore. He actually loved me for me. I know it's not my fault for the reason we're over but I blame myself almost everyday. He ruined such a good thing. Imagine where we would be right now if he hadn't left.

I look down to the sound. His phone ringing. It read 'Selene'. He just looks at it.

"Are you gonna answer?" I ask.

"Nah, just my boss. Prob just wants me to do some stupid shit for her." He answers.

Ok? We got our food and head home.

He pulls the food out and sets it up for Nia. I grab my food and just start eating. God I'm so hungry.

"Mom, guess what I can do!" She says still eating.

"What baby?" I answer. She gets out her seat and tries to do a cartwheel. Not the best but obviously I'm not gonna tell her that.

"Wow! Good job, Nia!" I say. She just smiles and continues eating her food.

Am I the only one who likes eating standing up? I lean on the counter with my stomach on it. I continue eating my food and look for the extra pickles.

"What?" Jalen asks, realizing that I'm looking for something.

"I think they forgot my pickles." I say, a little upset.

I see him grab my car keys.

"Where are you going?" I ask as I continue to eat my food.

"I'm going to go buy you a jar." He says.

"No. Jalen it's fine." I tell him but he's already out the door.

Sometimes this trait of his, making everyone feel satisfied, can be annoying but sometimes I actually like it. But for pickles, it wasn't necessary.

Me and Nia finish our food and we throw it all the trash out. Except for Jalens food. I leave it were it is. Nia and I head upstairs and I bathe her. She brushes her teeth and is fast asleep. I hear the door open.

"Jalen, you really didn't need to get me pickles. It was fine." I say as I make my way downstairs.

"Not Jalen." Rio says.

"Fuck. You scared me." I say.

"Yea and I didn't get you pickles either." He says.

"What are you doing?" I ask him. Standing a couple feet away from him.

"Come on." He says as he start walking to the door. I think he's actually expecting me to follow him.

"Yea... No." I say as I stay out where I am.

"Rio, what time is it?" I ask him.

"I don't care what time it is. Let's go!" He starts getting upset with me.

"Yea but I do. What time is it?" I ask him.

He looks at me. Like always. The same fucking look.

He pushes me against the wall. Fuck.

"Let's go." He says with a stern look on his face.

"I can't leave Nia. She by herself." I tell him quietly.

"Your 'husband' will be home in a few. Cmon let's go. I'm not saying it again." He replies.

Fuck.
