Kai
I was finally done with my entire home and everything looked absolutely beautiful. It was definitely feeling like a home now .
I had absolutely nothing to do so I decided to chill out and watch Martin . After Grabbing me a water and two glazed doughnuts I flopped down on the couch and turned it on .
Sitting here like this instantly made me think of Yaya . And how she would always complain about me just sitting in the house and watching tv . I couldn't help but crack a smile , but then it immediately put me in my feelings because I truly missed all three of them .
I tried to sit there and ignore my thoughts but I couldn't . I couldn't keep putting this off so at that very moment I decided to get my ass up and go see if I could find my best friends .
I thought about where I would look first as I waited on the elevator door to open .
I wonder if Nana Sheila still stays in the same place , I'll try there first. Then a voice quickly said hell no in my head .
Yea your right , Because If you see East he might kill you .
I was so busy having a whole conversation with myself that I didn't even realize the elevator door had opened .
You gone keep talking to yourself or you gone get on ?
I looked up from my phone to see Naeem standing there looking good as hell holding the elevator door with his hand.
Oh God , he probably thinks I'm crazy .
My bad , I hadn't even realized that it was open .
I stepped onto the elevator and pressed G for the garage .
Did you get settled in ok ?
Yea , it was a lot of work but I got it done .
That's what's up , We'll this is my floor . Nice bumping into you again , another favor and you owe me lunch .
Excuse me ?
I Helped you with your bags and now I'm holding up elevators for you . I think I'm owed a lunch date .
Like a girl in high school I was blushing like a mf .
I'll think about it .
That big kool aid smile telling me you already know your answer , but it ain't no pressure . I'll see you soon Kaisha .
Bye Naeem .
Once the elevator doors closed I let out a breath that I didn't even know I was holding in.
Once I got off the elevator I headed to my car and decided that I'd stop by Yaya's first .
As I drove through the streets of my old neighborhood the memories flooded my mind . I remember how we would all go to the corner store up the block from Yaya's and by the single slices of pizza with a Icee , and how we'd sit at the court for hours and have the time of our lives .
Damn I missed this. I pulled up to where Yaya lived , parked my car and got out . I walked up the steps and knocked on the door . No one answered. I walked to the other side of the porch and peaked through the window as best as I could . It was empty as hell and clearly no one has lived here in years.
Ugh , let me try mama and Desiree's , hopefully I'll get lucky there.
I got back in my car and headed to Desiree's who only lived about 4 blocks over , and again I came up empty handed because they had moved too . My last and final option was to try Nana Sheila's so that's where I headed .
