My Ex Pt. 1

I was at my sister Tamika's apartment along with some of her friends mixed with mine and we were all planning on spending the night together. We were chatting it up, talking about all our exes while watching 'The Circle'. The apartment was filled with my sisters' loud ass cackling and my friends asking me questions about my exes, but if course I didn't answer.

"C'mon Tej, tell us about Kendrick!" My friend Lafeya eagerly tapped on my thighs.

"No, girl." I turned away from her.

"What about Dash?" One of my sister's friends poked their head out looking at me.

"Ew, no." I shook my head, then bowed my head to wrap my long curly brown hair in a bun.

"Let's talk about LeRoy." Tamika sung, bouncing her shoulders nudging me.

"Don't you dare." I pointed my finger at her.

"Y'all! Lemme tell you how my good sis Tej here went down on him just for him to-"

"Bitch! Shut up." I covered my Tamika's mouth cutting her off. "It's none of y'all business." I folded my arms and fell back on the couch rolling my eyes.

They just snickered at my annoyance and whispered things to each other making them laugh louder. Until my phone started ringing and I removed it from under my thigh to see that it revealed a name that I had bitterly despised.

Michael

Tamika leaned more into me and gasped and lowly said "And the most toxic of them all...." she flared her hands out like she was telling a scary story, but I was still staring at the screen in disbelief and distraught.

Why in the world is this coon calling me at 12:34 pm?

"It's Michael." I mumbled with both my eyebrows raised.

They all gasped but Tamika's eyes were glued to me. 

Tamika is my older sister who never really liked Michael because she said 'he likes to play it safe and he never once stands up to be a man and comes to your defense or rescue when you need it most'. She never saw that he was boyfriend material.

Now I don't live off of my sister's opinions about the guys I date but she never warned me about the other guys I dated the way she did about Michael. She constantly alerted me on the red flags she would find when all I saw was a beautiful wide smile and dark brown orbs any girl could get lost in.

That was until he lost me.

"I know you ain't about to pick up that phone Tej." She gave me that mothering look I knew so well and as I was about to put it down I thought about how bad I missed him.

"What did Michael even do? I keep hearing y'all bad mouthing him left and right....I wanna know what's tea." Another friend of Tamika's asked crunching on some Lays.

"Michael broke my lil sis heart to pieces. He should be glad I ain't punch him dead in his face and smacked him upside the head with his damn ball sack!" She clenched her jaw. "He cheated on her with one of her ex best friends!" Tamika started and I sat quiet looking down replaying the past in my mind.

"She should've took my advice and left that bafoon!"

"Yeah, maybe I should've." I shrugged.

"Shoulda, woulda, coulda, but didn't!" Tamika retorted.

"Y'all they dated for like two months and only went on like two dates! Michael could never hold a damn conversation with her. Well at least one that wasn't him sweet talking her into having sex with him. The whole thing was a fucking sham from the getgo!" Tamika completely exaggerated the whole thing but I let her go on because If I told the story I know I'd cry and I haven't cried over him then and I sure as hell won't cry over that boy now. He just ain't worth shedding my tears for.

"Tejah went and introduced her ex bestie to him...y'all know Kennedy right?" They nodded their heads vigorously.

"Yeah, her little fast ass was making more conversation with Michael then Michael ever made with Tejah! When they went home Wannabe-Kennedy asked her for his number. Guess what little miss he's-not-gonna-leave me, does? She happily gives this boy's phone number to that trick." I roll my eyes at her little comment.

"You can cut it out Tam! I was young and naïve alright." I look at her with a now serious demeanor.

"Nah, you were 25 and too stupid to see that he wasn't even close to being boyfriend material." She shrugs and the girls start instigating with their 'oohs' and 'aahs'.

"Long story short Mikey boy, tells Tejah that she got Wannabe-Kennedy pregnant over text." The expressions on the girls' faces were priceless and I laugh sarcastically think how could I be so stupid.

I thought to myself for a while and came to a conclusion.

"I'm wanna see what he wants." I sit at the edge of the couch sliding my slides onto my feet.

My sister pulls me back.
"No. Your gonna ignore that fool." She looks me dead in my face.

"He's gonna keep callin. Might as well just end it for good." I pull away about to tap his name on my phone.

"Tejah! This has been going on for a while now! You're over here pushing 30." Lafeya adds dramatic effect her voice telling me this.

"This is not good for your mental health." My momma walks out of the kitchen shaking her head disappointedly with a hand in her hip.

Yes our mother is here. All she wants to do is tag along with us because her boyfriend canceled her date and she's deems herself a widow who's never gonna find live since our dad died.

"I'm going to call him." I make clear in a low voice walking into the guest room.

I sat down on the bed and took a deep breath and tapped on his contact.

The phone rang 3 times before I heard a crackle on the other line.

"Hey Tejah." He said my name with force but at the same time with ease.

I was silent.

"I just wanted to check up on you. I didn't like how our....little thang ended." He slurred which told me that he was drink or at least tipsy because most of his words were proper.

I scoffed "What do you want? Mikey boy..." I smiled smugly.

"I ain't no boy....I wanna make things right. Jusss...come over." I just knew he was smirking. To be honest I actually felt really lonely and wanted to be loved and felt up on since what happened with Michael.

Let's just say he was -entertaining- me.

"And if I do..." I said waiting for a remark.

"We'll take it from there." His answer was vague.

I sat and thought about it for a second.

"Same address?" I said re-thinking my already made decision.

"Yeah."

"I'll be there."

————————-

"Where are you going?" Tamika turns around on the couch asking me as I walk toward the door putting sneakers on.

"I'll be back soon." I focused on tying my shoelaces.

"You're going to see Michael, aren't you?" She got behind me.

I looked up at her and grabbed my keys.
"I'm gonna end this."

I left out the door and heard my sister calling my name but I ignored her. I made it my mission to give Michael a piece of my mind that night.
