"Bonnie, You A Grown Ass Women, So Make Some Grown Ass Women Decisions."
-----------
After I Left Red Lobster With My Father, I Went Home And Thought About His Suggestion.

I Didn't Know Nothing About The Town They Were Moving My Mother Too, But I Could Surely Find Out.

I Worked A Long Shift Last Night To Get My Paper Up And Didn't Leave The Club Until 3 A.M

I Got Right Back Up At 9 And Went To The Library, Looking Up The House My Father Offered Me, And The Treatment Hospital.

I Checked Out The Views And So Far They Were All Pretty Good. Except For One.

The Bill For The Treatments Were Really High, And My Little Girl Ended Up Dying Anyways.

I Avoided Thinking Of That Negative Comment The Best I Could.

I Began Looking More Into The City And The Neighborhood Of The House I Was Offered.

Basically I Lived Around A Mix Of People, But Mostly Hispanics- Which Was Good On My End.

When I Left The Hospital I Headed To The Mall Where I Finally Decided On Getting A Pedicure.

I Walked Inside My Usual Nail Shop And Smiled At Chin Who Owned The Place.

"Bonnie You No Been Here Awhile. Where You Been?" She Asked In That Chinese Accent That I Barely Understood.

I Took A Seat In The Pedicure Chairs And Slid Off My Shoes, "I've Been Working And Visiting My Mom."

Chin Sat Down Infront Of A Women Who Had Been In There Before Me. "Tell Mom Chin Spoke. I'll Be With You After Customer Bonnie."

I Nodded And Laid Back, Relaxing. After Moments Of Thinking, My Phone Rang.

I Pulled It From My Purse And Answered, Not Looking At The Caller I.D. "Hello?"

A Familiar Voice Rang Out In My Ear, "Wassup Bonnie. You Busy?"

I Looked Down At My Feet, At Chin, Then Laid Back Again, "No What's Up?"

"I'm At The Mall In Our City, You Should Drop Through." He Spoke, I Could Hear People Talking In The Back Ground.

I Smiled Knowing He Was Here, "I'm Already Here At The Nail Shop You Used To Always Take Me To."

"Alright, I'm Bout To Come Through There." With That He Hung Up The Phone.

I Smiled, Even After Two Years Kameron Still Had That Weird Effect On Me.

"That Your Boyfriend?" Chin Asked Being Nosey While Painting The Women's Nails.

"No," I Told Her, "Just A Friend."

"That's Not What Your Smile Says." She Busted Me, As The Women Arose From The Chair.

I Looked Towards The Door At Kameron As He Walked In Looking Good As Usual.

When He Spotted Me He Walked Over Hugging Me From The Side, "You Look Beautiful."

I Looked Over Myself, "I'm Not Even Dressed Up, But Thank You."

Chin Sat In The Chair Below Me And Grabbed My Toes, Watching Up Closely.

"So What's Up? I Haven't Spoke To You In 2 Days." Kameron Reminded Me.

I Sighed Loudly, "Alot. You Might Wanna Sit."

Kameron Took A Seat In The Pedicure Chair Next To Me As I Began To Tell Him Everything.

After I Had Finished I Gave Him A Moment To Process Everything. "So What You Gone Do?"

I Shrugged My Shoulders, "I Don't Know, But Whatever I'm Gonna Do I Need To Decide Fast So My Mother Can Get The Best Treatments."

"Bonnie, You A Grown Ass Women, So Make Some Grown Ass Women Decisions." Kameron Said, Being 100 With Me.

I Nodded, "You Right. The Thing Is, I Don't Know Anyone Down There, I Don't Know The Place And--"

Kameron Cut Me Off With Something I Thought He Wouldn't Say, "Take Me With You Then. I Can Help You With A Bunch Of Shit."

I Scrunched Up My Face, "Kameron I Don't Know."

He Moved Closer To Me, "I Mean, Come On, What Could Go Wrong. I Know You Trust Me, We Been Friends Since You Was Five, And I Got A Couple Of Niggas Down That Way, So I Know The Spot."

He Was Right, And My Father Did Say The House Was Spacious. "I Gotta Think About It Kameron."

He Smiled, Leaning Over To Kiss Me On The Head, "I Mean I Can Buy My Own Crib But Take 'Ya Time Bonnie."

Kameron Could Help Me Out Alot, And He Could Protect Me, And He Knew The Place.

Him Coming With Me May Not Be A Bad Thing After All. "Kameron, You Should Start Packing Your Things, 'Cause Were Leaving In A Week!"
