I can't believe I came...
What am I doing here?
This shit is stupid!
"Crystal girl, you good?"
Novi's hand placed on my shoulder snapped me out of my thoughts. I looked around the beautifully decorated hall and painted on a fake smile.
"I'm fine. Just a little tired that's all." I quickly lie.
"We'll let me know if you need anything." She said.
"Okay..." I trail off.
I start looking around the ballroom again. Still no sign of Devale. I knew he wasn't coming. I'm the only one stupid enough to come without a date. To be honest I'm only here because Zena is here and she really wanted me to come. I know that we were just mad at each other but I still feel like we're friends. She just needed to get her shit together.
Much like Devale, Zena wants everything to go her way without putting in any effort. My relationship with both of them is very one sided. I'm putting in 75% and they're barely giving me 25. Even though I like Boris and he's a good guy, I can't just turn off the way I feel about Devale. My feelings have died down a lot.
"You look beautiful." I hear from behind me.
I turn around and see Morris standing in front of me with a big smile on his face.
I rolled my eyes and ignored him.
"Look Crystal I know you don't like me but there's something you need to know—"
"I don't want to hear anything you have to say. Why are you here?" I ask confused.
"Because I still had a ticket and even though I don't work at this hospital anymore I've donated a lot of my money and time to this hospital." He told me.
"Good for you. But nobody wants you here." I say shrugging my shoulders.
Morris just looked at me smiled. He thinks he's so charming. I hope he meets his match one day.
"Have a good night Morris." I said trying to walk past him.
But he stopped me and grabbed my hand. I pulled it away and mugged him.
"Nigga don't put your hands on me." I say trying not to cause a scene.
"Is everything okay over here?" Dr. Whitfield and Dr. Glover looked at the situation in front of them.
Dr. Glover slowly stepped in front of Morris. I was trying to be nosy but Dr. Whitfield pulled me away from them.
