"I talk to my [brother] about you

Pretty sure they're tired of hearin' it

I say "I met a guy, and he treats me real nice"

Which is good for a change

I talk to my [brother] about you

And I think [he] agree(s) my exes weren't always great, and I don't really buy into fate.

But you, tell me I'm pretty.

You... don't ask for two much."

The sun slowly rose as Matt draped his very tiresome self over his leather couch.

She smiled as she saw him cradle like tug the warm blanket over himself. Truth was, Mercedes couldn't find a spare blanket anywhere in his apartment, so she ended up melting his comforter on top of him.

The joys of being a pro-bono lawyer.

Still, Matt was still practically unconscious and clueless of anything that was going on in the world. Though as Matt slept, Mercedes silently thanked God that he did, because she knew that going to sleep hearing people screams and prayers really wouldn't allow him to sleep.

After Mercedes saw that he was settled, and okay for the meantime— then she silently excused herself out of his apartment to buy some vegetables for a soup for him.

As she passed through the aisles, picking up some yuca and potatoes, she got a call from her other lover. AKA Franklin Nelson.

As she picked up the phone, she smelled a bushel of parsley and said, "Top of the morning to you foggy"

The women in the cashier then began to ring all the vegetables as Foggy said asked with a knot of his brows, "Top of the morning to ya too Maxine! by the way, not htat I don't want to talk to you, but, are you with Matt?"

(Foggy whispered to Marci as he pointed to the phone, mouthing "matts girlfriend")

"Oh," said Mercedes as she grabbed a pack of m&ms that were Franks favorite as a kid, "I was; not anymore but I can take a message for him if you want."

"everything alright?" asked Foggy as Marci then slipped on Foggys tie in a loop and asked, "between you two at least."

As Mercedes handed the cash register the pack of peanut butter filled m&msr she said to Foggy "oh no, no—"

the cash register then gave her an off look and she placed the phone down her neck and said, "sorry not you" and placed the phone back on her ear and said, "thats not what I meant, um" she then handed cash to the cash register and said, "he won't be coming to work today... not if I can stop him at least. ."

"Everything alright?"

As Mercedes thanked the cashier, she then looped the plastic bags around her elbows, and left into the wilderness.

Aka New York when it was raining, and almost halloween.

"He's just not feeling, well... fell down the stairs last night. God knows why he was up on the rooftop, but it's Matt so you know how unexpected he can be."
