Amirah

Houston, Tx
4:20pm
"Amirah we're talking to you," Mariah snapped her fingers in my face making me snap out of my thoughts.
"Oh sorry. What did you say?" I continued picking at my food.
"We asked if you were excited about dress shopping later," Sandra looked at me with concerned eyes.
"Oh yea yea," I nodded my head.
"Mimi I know you like keeping certain things to yourself, but are you okay sis?" Sandra put a hand over mine.
"Yeah boo. Every time we see you, you're out of it. Your mind is always somewhere else when you're with us," Mariah chimed in.
"I'm fine guys," I gave them a fake smile. "School just has me really tired these days," I lied.
In reality, I was upset about my failing relationship. I don't know why was still sticking around when I was the only one trying. I just couldn't find the courage to leave Brandon just yet because even though we weren't on the best of terms, I still had faith.
Besides that, I didn't have the money to move out on my own either. The two jobs that I was working made no where near enough for me to get a one bedroom and I wasn't comfortable asking Sandra could I move back in with her. I was too embarrassed.
"Bitch you still gonna keep giving us that same tired ass excuse?" Mariah pursed her lips.
"I know it's more than that," Mariah gave me a knowing look.
"Amirah you know you can talk to us right?" Sandra asked.
"Yeah I know you guys, but seriously I'm okay," I told them again. The two of them stared at me long and hard before they finally decided to drop the topic.
Mariah told us about how she thought Trevor was going to pop the question soon. Sandra talked about her wedding that was taking place in a couple of months. I added my input here and there, but I mainly just listened.
Don't get me wrong, I was happy for my sister and my best friend, but I couldn't help but be a little jealous. I wanted to sit around and talk about Brandon and I getting married one day, but right now I knew that wasn't even something that would happen any time soon. It hurt, but it was the truth.
My phone buzzed on the table, so I checked to see who it was and it was Hakeem.
Hakeem: Aye, you go to University of Houston right? - received at 4:25pm
Me: Ummm...yes. Why? - delivered at 4:25pm
Hakeem: Cause I think I wanna apply there for my Master's. Would my best friend in the whole wide world be willing to give me a tour? 👀 - received at 4:26pm
Me: lmao okay no problem. Tomorrow? -delivered at 4:26pm
I didn't even noticed that I giggled a little until Mariah looked over at me with a weird look on her face.
"What you and Brandon over there texting about?" She smirked.
"It's Hakeem. He's just goofy," I laughed again.
"So what's the tea on him? He moved back or something?" Sandra asked.
