{Ayah}
I hear him cursing loudly on the other side when I press my ear up against the bathroom door.
He just got off work and hasn't said a word to me.
I am still standing there when he opens the door.
He seems a little startled.
"You mad at me, baby?"
He rolls his eyes.
"No but I do think you're a little annoying."
I bite my lip.
"That isn't very nice, is it?"
I raise an eyebrow.
He hesitates.
"No. But so what?"
"So you don't want to talk?"
I ask just to make sure.
He just folds his arms.
I take a step back and clear my throat.

I fold my arms behind my back.
He forces a smile.
"I'm nice to you and I'm your boyfriend, let me see."
I hold them up reluctantly.

I smile slowly.
His shoulders lower slowly.
"Okay, baby girl."
I just bite my lip and quietly slip out of the room.
I absolutely love it when he calls me that. Or anything, really.
I love being his girlfriend.
They are both quiet on the way out of the movie theatre.
"So. That Wanda girl sure was something else, huh?"
I ask awkwardly.
I had no idea what was going on.
