fancy seeing you here

Naomi Jones

"So you kissed her and ran." Shilah laughed loudly, earning looks from her coworkers that were passing by behind her in the break room.

I picked up my phone and went into my bathroom. When I move out, I hope that there's a bathroom connected to my bedroom like It is here. Having one in my room is definitely a 'pro' when it comes to living with my mom.

"Yeah okay. Laugh it up."

Shilah threw her head back and did just that, my pitiful expression somehow humorous to her. Since she decided to FaceTime me during her lunch break-at 1pm may I add- I abruptly woke up to my ringtone all disoriented.

I sat the phone down on the counter in front of my bathroom mirror. I decided to take my bonnet off and put my box braids into a high ponytail with two braids hanging down in front of my face.

I examined my face in the mirror while I waited on Shilahs laughter to subside.

There was drool on my chin, my lips looked how they usually do- full and soft- and my big brown eyes looked a bit glossed over. Probably due to the fact that I'd just woken up.

My forehead seemed to be breaking out for whatever reason.

Could be stress..could be an allergic reaction to something.

I guess we'll never know.

"So let me get this straight. She's lead you on for MONTHS after rejecting you. And you lead her on for a few days... don't feel too bad. If it were me, I would have fucked her and then ghosted her for at least a month." She kicked her feet up on the table and adjusted her name tag.

If you couldn't already tell, Shilah hated Alex with every single nerve in her being.

Every since I told the twins that I had feelings for Alex years ago, Shilah didn't take to well to her.

She said something about "being able to smell snakes from miles away."

"Yeah, but I'm not like you. You're just cold." I laughed ,"I mean, now that it's been revealed that she likes me, my perspective has changed. If she liked me so damn much- then why would she reject me-"

"-On Valentine's Day." Shilah interrupted.

"Yes." I grinded out. "On Valentine's Day."

It still kinda stung.

"Look, the way I see it..she's just used to playing around with your feelings. And you never corrected her, so her actions only got worse. And since you made a move back and STILL haven't contacted her, that shallow ass bitch can't handle it." She took her legs off of the table after - I'm guessing- receiving a glare from her manager.

"Yeah..I guess it makes sense."

She rolled her eyes and bit into her half eaten sandwich.

"Owf courth it makes thense! I'm alwayth wight." She said loudly, talking with a mouth full of ham sandwich.

"Anyway-" I roll my eyes, a smile forming on my face slowly, "I'll talk to you later. I've got to finish an order for a customer, and I'll probably go to the park or something. To clear my head ya'know?"

"Yeah ok." She swallowed the food in her mouth and rubbed her hands together to get rid of the crumbs on them. "And please be careful, there's a lotta weirdos out there and I'm not trying to see your ass on a "missing person" poster." Her brown eyes narrowed at the screen in a serious manner.

"Yeah yeah, I'll be okay." I chuckled.

"Alright well I've gotta go, my break ended ten minutes ago." She yawned, stretching her arms.
