Inside Out

Jordan's POV
It was such a joy seeing Mr. Cooper yesterday. I felt happier, lighter. Much,much lighter.

I was currently on my way to do some last minute shopping. Carter was having a Christmas break party for students who decided not to go home and international students who couldn't. If I'm being honest it's for everybody.

How he got a venue to rent last minute is beyond me.

I swear that boy has more connections than a powerline.

I was bopping my head to 'Pussy Fairy' by Jhene Aiko as I slowed at the stop sign which has now turned red. A van pulled up beside me and I noticed two kids in the back. One had their thumb in their mouth and the other was dancing to whatever music was playing.

The light suddenly turned green and the kid who dancing suddenly threw his middle finger up at me making faces. I saw his momma turn to pop him on his arm while the dad drove scowling.

"Kids". I thought to myself as I continued to drive the short distance to the mall.

I mean I do want about two children someday. One boy and one girl preferably but I'll be okay with whatever I'm given.

I love children. And if I'm to ever have any Ill love them the best way I know they need to be loved.

My phone rang breaking me from my thoughts. The obnoxious iPhone ringtone.

Incoming call Toot.
I let it ring and then deliberately answered on the third ring.

"Yo!", I answered as my phone was connected to the Bluetooth.

"Where you at?", his voice boomed through the speakers.

"Damn", I muttered under my breath slightly turned on.

"I'm on the freeway about to make the exit to enter the mall. Why?", I asked as I made the right turn to enter the boulevard.

"I didn't see you when I came home. Thought I may have scared you off or sumn.", he said.

"No. I'm just going to get a last minute outfit for Carter's party tonight.", I explained.

"Oh. Wanna leave together?", he asked making me snort.

"You and I both know the answer to that my G.", I said now entering the parking lot of the mall.

He sighed. "Okay. Fine fine.", he stated. "You getting ready from my house?", he asked again.

"Yes. Where else would I go?", I asked.

"Home?", he questioned.

I laughed loudly as I responded "you can't get rid of a me that easily.".

"Damn.", he muttered jokingly.

"How was the studio session?", I asked phone now disconnected from the Bluetooth and AirPods now connected as I got out of the Jeep.

"It was alright. I think I'm ready to drop an Album now.", he stated sounding like he's still contemplating.

"You sound unsure.", I responded locking my car as I walked towards and then through the automatic double doors Air conditioning immediately hitting me.

"Yea. I'm still thinking it through.", he stated.

"Well. Take your time. Don't force it if it doesn't feel right.", I stated just as a man cat called after me.

"Oh naa.", I said to myself as I ignored him.

"Who dat?", he asked curiously.

"Just some guy in the walk way. I'm on my way to Henna's to purchase a new fit.", I explained.
