Just Be Patient (Urban Story)

Chapter 2:Business, No Pleasure

"What the hell" as I looked down at my phone and disgust came to my whole vibe. I'm use to my phone notifications going off the hook but I saw a number that I would never wanna see again.

"Jen! Come here" as I called to my best friend. Jen has been my girl for 4years. We met at the nail salon. Oddly enough she was my nail girl I know I know strange but Jen was my age and she was doing her thing. She owned 2 nail salons now and did a damn good job! She was like my sister and my ride or die. No matter what this girl had my back. Loyalty was all I asked for.

"What's up boo" Jen said as she came in my office. Jen had 2 business of her own but was always in mine lol but it was all good.
"Look at this shit" I handed her my phone so she could see could exactly what I was disgusted at.
"Fuck he want now and didn't I tell your ass to block that nigga" Jen said with so much attitude referencing my ex Lamar. She hated Lamar with a passion. She came in towards the middle of our relationship and never seem to even give him the time of day. When we broke up Jen damn near gave me a celebration.
"I did block him 4 times but he keeps coming up with these random ass numbers. And who says they miss someone after damn near 2 years. Ughhh he annoys the shit out of me" I said to Jen throwing my phone
"And don't he got a new bitch and a baby" Jen said rolling her eyes
"Exactly! I'm not apart of your life anymore so let's keep it like that." I spoke as I deleted the text and never sent a response. It was a routine that he would text me every couple of months asking me how I was or what I was up to or something to start a conversation which I had no interest in.
"Girl you need you a man and stop stressing over that" Jen said to me as I looked down. She was right. No matter how much time went on I just couldn't shake what Lamar did to me. I loved that man with everything in me for 5 years and what he did to me was the last thing I ever saw coming.
"I know but Jen I'm not ready for that. I just can't trust nobody at this point. No matter how hard I try and say I'm over him and what he did it still haunts me" at this point tears started coming from my eyes. I wasn't a big emotional person but Jen was the only one who I let that side show to. I had no sisters or brothers so she was my rock
"Stop crying Hue. I know you're still hurt but you're going to find you someone who appreciates you and what you have to offer. Be positive baby" I wiped my faced and smiled because she always knew how to make me snap out of these moments. I grabbed my purse and turned off my lights in my spacious office heading for the door.
"And what guy don't want a girl as gorgeous as you and has an ass like that" Jen said as she slapped my ass making me and her burst out laughing
"Thanks Jen I'll mark that down on my add on black people meet dot com" as we both laughed and walked out to the parking lot ready to go.
"Ok love call me when you get in the house and tell your boo I said hey" as I kissed her cheek and went our separate ways
"Love you" we yelled out the window to each other driving away.

"Hmmm" a sigh came out my mouth as I looked into my refrigerator deciding what to cook for dinner. If one thing I was confident in my life was cooking. I could make a five star meal with groceries from a corner store.
"Shit!" I said as I dropped an egg that I placed on the counter. I took my food serious and when I wasted anything I took it to heart lol. I laughed at myself as I cleaned up my floor. I walked over to my sound system and turned on Rain by SWV. Cooking and music went hand and hand for me.
"Rain down on my me" I sung as I prepared my salad dancing around my kitchen in nothing but a tshirt and lace underwear. I was always dressed in something sexy no matter if I was single or not. I use to be 239lbs but after I got out of my last relationship I changed my life by eating better and working out 3 times a week. I looked like a total different person now 160lbs. I never wanted to be skinny! I still had curves but I was toned in the right places and had the body I always wanted.
I heard my phone vibrate and ignored it the first time but than it rang. That was one of my pet
peeves.
"If I didn't answer your text don't call me" I mumbled as I went over to answer my phone.
"Hello" I said not wanting to be bothered
"That's the way you answer me sexy" I heard a familiar deep voice say. I faked a smile and pretended to be interested as I knew all to well where this call was headed
"Hey Andre I thought I recognized that voice. My bad" I said with no passion. Andre was an old friend with benefits. When me and Lamar broke up Andre was there for me and a good distraction. Sex! That's all it was for me. I never had any feelings for him. He was good in bed, I'm not goin lie and whenever I wanted some he came over with no question but after a while I just lost interest in the whole friend benefits phase and been trying to shake his ass ever since. And it didn't make it better that he had a girlfriend. Call me crazy but once I found out I still fucked with him. He was cool but I had to put myself in her shoes and thought how hurt I would be if the shoe was on the other foot.
"What your sexy ass up to" he said to me as I rolled my eyes
"I was just about to go to sleep sweetheart" lying through my teeth wide awake
"Oh damn I was ready to come thru and fuck wit you. My girl out of town" he said as if it was no problem. I tried hard not to laugh shaking my head.
"Damn boo I'm sorry I'm just tired and had a long day" I said with my hand on hip hoping he would get the hint. We haven't had sex in months and you would think he would just stop asking but hell no. It seemed like the more I turned him down or made an excuse it seemed to turn him on more.
"See you should let me come over there and put that ass to sleep the way you like it" he said cocky as ever. At this point I muted my phone and laughed. True he was good in bed but he thought he was God's gift to pussy. I know I should shut him down but he was such a good friend to me I couldn't just hurt his feelings and ego.
"As tempting as that sounds imma take a rain check" not the least bit interested
"Aight you do that ma and hit me up whenever. You know it ain't no problem"
"Ok Andre I'll remember that. Now you have a good night before your girl starts tapping your phone" I joked as I walked upstairs to my bedroom with my dinner and water in hand.
"Still got jokes ma and you do the same" he said as the call ended and I turned my phone completely off for the night
"Lord why do I just attract bums!" I said out loud as I threw myself on my plush bed.
"Guess it's just me and my DVR tonight" as I grabbed my plate and relaxed in my bed enjoying my night. Alone................
