A GIRL LIKE ME

•Chapter 5

"You gotta be fuckin' kiddin' me! You let that nigga fuck you?!" Serene yelled at her best friend who was sitting next to her.

Jayde and Serene was currently on a nail date and she was just finishing the story about what she did last night.

"Shut up Serene you suggested that we should anyway!"

"Bitch I didn't think you were actually gonna fuck him!"

Jayde whined looking around the shop to see a few heads turned their way by the noise they were making. "It won't happen again." She said not really knowing if she'd never do it again. She always had second guesses when it came to Kai.

"It better not because you can't get pregnant by him again just for him to leave. He gots to get his shit together before y'all do anything else and I mean it." Serene ranted as she looked at her fresh nail set. She was all for Jayde having fun but when it came to her reuniting with the father of her child , Serene wasn't a big fan because of what happened in the past.

Jayde sighed listening to her upset best friend. She knew Serene really cared about her and her feelings. Serene just didn't want to see her bestie hurt when it was plenty other men out here that was willing to give her more and do better.

-

After their nail date Jayde decided to shop around for a few outfits. She wasn't looking for anything in particular. Serene helped her and was looking for something sexy to wear for Davon too.

"You know Davon's birthday comin' up and you need to find a date. And no you cannot bring Kai!" Serene reminded her.

Jayde rolled her eyes , "He's not on my roster sista. It was just one night come onnnn."

"Yeah one night that can turn into you popping another baby out nine months later. Are you still on birth control?" She asked looking at a dress that she thought she might buy.

"Of course I am. I don't think I can deal with another baby. I love my Jacey , but he's good enough right now."

"Good , cause I was gonna say you can borrow mine. I don't got time for you to be bringin' more babies into this world yet. You need to find a good man that's worth your time."

"Whatever mom." Jayde laughed as she skimmed through more clothes not really finding anything she liked. "You done in here? I wanna go to another store" She said. 

"You go ahead. I'm still shopping in here girl. I'll meet up with you in an hour tops." She blew a kiss to her best friend as Jayde returned one back then heading to a different store. 

She was now trying to find an outfit to the kickback for Davon but she was also wondering who she'd take. Malik would probably say no because of his kids and she hadn't really spoken to him since their date; just a few text messages but nothing serious. She didn't know when she'd see him again and was hoping it wasn't anytime soon. She wouldn't dare ask Kai. The only person she had left was Julian but he has yet to call her. She didn't get guys numbers because she didn't want to blow them up or come on too strong , so she let them call when they were ready. She was waiting patiently.

Jayde headed into another store , seeing the perfect dress on the mannequin that stood in the window. She had to have it.
She didn't even go inside the store yet , she just stood there admiring the dress. Jayde then took a photo of it and sent it to her bestie for confirmation.
While she was waiting on a text back she heard a familiar voice coming from the store across from her.

"Yooo this fire. You puttin' that shit on this Saturday?" The deep voice echoed.

She turned her head and saw Julian. Playfully rolling her eyes , she continued to stare at him having a conversation with another guy he was with in the store. He must've felt her eyes on him because their eyes locked when he was leaving the store.
A small smile crept on his face as it did hers. He looked so good to her. Seeing him was damn near a breath of fresh air. "Ayo bro hold this ima be right back." He said handing a few shopping bags to his friend before heading in her direction.
