Bruised Peach

IF IT AINT ONE THING..

"The sun is out today honey." Eve said blocking her face from it as we made our way down the sidewalk. "Hell yeah, it's 105 today." I said feeling that shit hit my black ass too.

Before we fly back out to Atlanta tonight I was taking her shopping and I even had a surprise up my sleeve. A romantic boat ride up the river with just us, I knew she'd like that. These last two days with her been great even after all that shit at Fargo's club. That was a little too much for her first night in Philly so I understand, I just wanted to show her what I do when I'm not under the hood of a car. But at least I know now me and Fargo gotta do business outside of his club moving forward. Them hoes go crazy when dick walk in the room especially when a handsome face and some money attached to it.

We walked up to this small clothing store making me grab the door and hold it open so she could walk inside.

"Hi! Welcome to Kim's Kloset, let me know if you guys need any help!" The lady said behind the register making Eve wave and respond. I looked around the store not seeing shit but women's clothes letting me know I was going to be in here for a minute.

"Ah. Look at this!" Eve said walking over to the rack pulling the shirt off it. It was leopard print with cuts in the middle. "That shit fly." I said making her smile slowly drop. "What?" I asked confused. "But does it look sexy? It's supposed to be sexy." She said making me laugh and shake my head. "Everything looks sexy on you, I can go get a bag from behind the counter and put it on that ass, what you mean?" I asked chuckling making her laugh and smile.

"You get on my nerves." She said playfully hitting me. "But it look good baby, get that." I said making her smile confidently before tossing it over her arm. She browsed around making me walk off looking at my phone, I peeped I had a few missed calls from my big sister making me dial her back.

It rung a few times before she picked up, "hello?" She asked. "Wassup, you called me?" I asked looking out the window at my car. "Yeah I been calling you fool, Melasia blowing up my phone crying saying you got a new girlfriend on her." She said making me scrunch my face up. "Okay! So.. you saying that like it's my problem. Dee I been telling you to drop that hoe as a friend, you too fucking friendly." I said irritated. Her and Melasia went to school together and when I started dating her it brought them closer. "Well Melasia been coming over here beating on mama door looking for you. She said you talking to some girl now and she said she gone beat her ass and your ass when she see y'all." She said laughing making me smack my lips.

"The fuck you laughing for De? You need to tell that girl we over with and what I told her the other day is just that. Been moved on from her fake ass." I said looking back seeing Eve still occupied with the clothes. De sighed over the phone, "now y'all been together since high school. You know she don't play about you and it ain't no point in me talking to her. She won't listen. She's pretty much family." She said.

"Y'all keep talking about how long we been together but not the shit I had to put up with. Ight De, I'll handle the girl myself since you can't be a big sister." I said making her open her mouth to say something but I hung up in her face before she could. Dareeca tried not to get involved in my shit but her messy ass loved the drama.

I was going to have to figure out something quick because I didn't have time for drama. Eve wasn't with that shit either and after watching her drag ol girl in the club I knew Melasia wasn't going to want no real smoke. Eve didn't deserve to be mixed up in my shit too, she had enough on her plate. She needs stability and love, and I was going to be the nigga to give her that. Nobody was stopping that and I wasn't going to let Melasia get near her.

"Everything's okay?" Eve walked up with a pile of clothes in her hand asking pulling me from my thoughts. "Yeah, everything straight." I said siding against better judgement, instantly feeling like shit. She hesitantly let it go, "they got some cute shit in here for real, and it's big booty friendly." She said laughing it off making me do the same.
