Those were the lyrics that played through my house while I cleaned my kitchen. I haven't been out much since my break up. He was abusive and manipulative and it was time for me to be with just me for a while. I can't lie it's been hard.
*Phone Rings*
Ivory: Hello?
It was my best friend Lala, we've known each other damn near all of our lives and she always seems to call at the right time.
Lala: Open the door I'm outside.
Ivory: *walk to the door* *unlock it* *go back to the kitchen* *turn my music back on*
Lala: *walks through the door* girrrl uh uh, this is not what we're doing tonight *takes my remote* *turns off the music*
Ivory: *tilt my head at her*
Lala: Get dressed, you're coming with me
Ivory: I don't really fee-
Lala: Get dressed
Ivory: *roll my eyes* *walk to my bedroom*
It's been 4 months since my break up. I went back to school to get my broker's license for real estate so it's been keeping me busy, but on nights like this I'm usually in a funk. I mean five years wasted in a relationship will do that to you.
Ivory: *look through my closet* *turn around* you know, I think I'm gonna sit this one out.
Lala: Bitch, you're getting out this house even if I have to drag you out this house.
Ivory: Why don't you take Ciara?
Lala: So we can both need bail money by the end of night? Uh uh, hurry up.
Ivory: *chuckle* okaaay, give me like 20 minutes. *grab clothes out of your closet* *go to the bathroom*
*At The Bar*
Lala: *holds her phone up* say cheese, bitch I ain't got you outside in a minute. This is going on the gram.
Ivory: *pose for the video*

Ivory: Thank you friend, I needed this *pout*
Lala: *nods* *sips her drink* yes you did and we're getting drunk tonight
Ivory: *side eye her*
It's been a minute since I really got to hang with my best friend. I missed this crazy bitch. I've trapped myself in the house and in my work for so long it feels good to be outside again.
*12:36 AM*
Lala: Bitch you mean to tell me you ain't got no dick in 4 months!
Ivory: *shush her* can you not say that so loud?
Lala: I'm just saying, you need some di- *looks across the room* friend, that boy is looking at you.
Ivory: *whisper* who?
Lala: *points*
Ivory: *put her hand down* *look across the room*

Aww shit, here we go again. Why do I keep attracting these pretty boy ass niggas? And do they all gotta be hood? Damn what am I doing wrong?
Lala: Bitch, he's coming over here *fixes her hair*
Ivory: *look at her* *purse my lips*
Guy: *walks up to you* excuse me?
Lala: She's single *smiles at him*
Ivory: *look at her crazy* *look at him* hi
Guy: *chuckles* hi, I'm Monte but people call me Mo *puts his hand out*
Ivory: *shakes his hand* Ivory, nice to meet you.
Mo: I don't wanna come on too strong, but I saw you across the room and wanted to know if I could maybe call you sometime?
Lala: Area code -
Ivory: *hit her* *look at Mo* yeah, gimme your phone *hold my hand out*
Mo: *gives me his phone*
Ivory: *type my number in* there you go *give him his phone*
Mo: Bet, I'll call you *smiles*
Ivory: *smile* okay
Mo: *walks away*
Lala: *fake cries* I'm so proud of you
I know it wasn't wrong of me to give him my number, but I'm not sure if I want to start dating yet. I feel like I just started dating myself and I'm finally focused. I don't want to mess that up just because some new dick came into the picture, but loneliness has been killing me so hey, what could go wrong?
