Lately onika has been acting weird. I'm not sure why, but I am aware that I haven't seen her in two weeks. Not even at school.

I thought the last time we saw each other, we were on good terms. I apologized.

"Hey baby, how you doing" Shawn says kissing my head.

"I'm good honey, how was work?"

"Work was great, and my boss would love to meet you."

"Is that right? Well let him know I wouldn't mind." I said taking a sip of my water.

"Well SHE said we could have lunch sometime today if you don't mind."

She ?

"Sure"

I simply said.

"Huh?" She said in confusion

"I said sure, what time?" I said not even surprised to find out his boss is a woman.

"In about thirty minutes" he said grabbing his keys "I'll be waiting in the car sweetness" he sung

I went upstairs, still thinking of onika. Why couldn't I get this girl out my mind? This isn't getting serious right? Definitely not.

Before you knew it I was clad in some, denim jeans and a white shirt.

On the way out the door,looking into the car I see Shawn deep into his phone. He didn't even notice I was already in my seatbelt.

"Drive damn!" I said smacking his shoulder.

" okay, shit!" He said dropping his phone in his lap, then shutting it off.

We met his boss at the caffe a few blocks away from the house.

We parked, and got seated in the restaurant.

"Where is she?" I asked

"There she is" he said standing up

I'm walked an older woman, who seemed to be in her late fifties, early sixties .and had a very familiar face.

"Shawn, sweetheart how you doing? And who is this fine lady here ?"  She asked

"This is my wife, Beyoncé. Beyoncé this is my boss, Mrs. Carol" this woman looks awfully familiar

"And bey she lives in the neighborhood too."

"That's why you looked so familiar." I know it's not only that.

For the rest of the afternoon, we all just talked about business. Nothing too personal.

After leaving I went home and decided to call onika for the hundredth time.

After a few rings she finally answered.

"Yes?" She asked with slight attitude

"I was calling to check up on you, why have you been ignoring me? And why haven't I seen you in school?" I notice I was bombarding her with questions, not giving her a chance to answer.

"I'm at work I will talk to you later" she instantly hung up

Why did that hurt?

She lied to me. It was a Sunday, she doesn't work on sundays or thursdays. Why would she lie to me?

I decided to walk to our favorite spot, seeing no one there.

I needed time to think.

Onika POV
Saturday
6:37pm

Laying in my bed right now hurts more than it should. I need to leave her alone.  I want to leave her alone. But I can't.

I always tell myself

I'm done with her

But I never listen to myself.

I need a blunt.

I thought, instead of going to my favorite spot, I stayed in my room. I didn't want to catch feelings.

It was strictly no strings attached, but this hurts.

As I took a pull of the blunt, I felt all of my worries drifting away.

After finishing off the blunt, I rolled another and smoked half of that.

In the mist of all of that, I decided to play, could've been by H.E.R

As I was finishing my last puff I hear a knock on my window.

I saw it was bey

"Can we talk?" She asked

"You could have came through the front door, my parents won't be here for a while." I said opening the window allowing her in

"Did you smoke?" She ask grabbing my face, looking into my eyes.

"Why are you here," I said walking away from her.

"Why are you acting like this?" She asked in disbelief

"Bey, truth is, I'm in love with this one person. This person makes me feel so special when I'm around them. And I feel like they don't acknowledge that." I said

"What do you mean onika?"

"I don't even know why I try, bey just leave."

"Bu-"

"BYE!" I said in anger

She started to walk towards, me. She tries to hug me.

I fight her off. She still engulfing me into her intoxicating hug.

I soon start to break down into her arms, feeling every emotion come down.







Why can't I just let go?
