Drunk Texting

Chapter 3

Candice's P.O.V

I sat outside on the bench and pulled out my phone and called my aunt. After four rings, she picked up. "Hello?" She asked in her business voice. " Umm, hey, Aunt Kar, could you come pick me up from school?" I said. "Candice, you know I'm at work, and I'm already supposed to work overtime. I would but, I just can't. Im sorry." She replied with remorse in her voice. " It's ok, I understand. Well, have a nice day at work, And I'll talk to you later on today." I said with my head down. Before she got the chance to say bye, I hung up the phone. I then plugged my ear pods into my phone, and turned on "Chill" by Trey Songz, and started to walk home.

About a block away from my house, a crackhead tried to holla at me.

"Wassup lil mama" he grinned through an empty smile. The smell of alcohol was on his breath, very strong. He then grabbed my arm and started touching on my back side. I kicked him in his stuff then speed walked away. People these days stop at nothing. It was sunny, but also kind of chilly. When I got home I took my key from around my neck and unlocked the door. I then walked in, not forgetting to lock the door back . the TV was still on, which was very awkward. Sitting my back pack on the couch and plugging my phone up, I went to the kitchen to grab a snack. I settled for a bag of hot Cheetos and an Arizona Sweet Tea. Picking up my snack, I grabbed the remote and turned on Teen Titans Go until it was time to meet up with Mr. Alsina.

About 2:18 the house phone rung. It was a number I didn't know, but I answered anyways.

"Hello?" I said trying to be the slightest bit sophisticated.

"Yea', wassuh' Candice." the familiar voice said dragging out my name.

"Who is this?" I asked.

"Only tha' finest teacha' yah' kno'," they answered. It only took me a little bit to realize it was Mr. Alsina.

"Mr. Alsina?"

"Yea', Candice can yuh' meet me at tha' Burga' King down tha' street from tha' schoo' ?" He wondered.

"Umm, sure let me take a shower and change clothes. And I'll be there in about 30 minutes. But I have to walk because my aunt is at work."

"Oh nah, I'll come pick yah' up. What's yah address and yah numba'?"

"I'll call and ask my aunt can you pick me up, but my numba' is (504)-222-3456"

"A'ight shawt. Im finna' text yah, so yah get my numba' and you can call me n give me yah address." he said.

"Ok, Bye Mr. Alsina"

"Bye Candice."

I hung up the phone and let out a sigh. I then put it back on the base and grabbed my cell phone. I dialed my aunts number, and waited for her to answer.

"Hey, aunt , my teacher is coming to the house to pick me up for a tutor meeting."

"That's fine, be safe, got to go, love you bye." she told me and hung up.

I got a text from an unknown number and saw it was Mr. Alsina.

Mr. Alsina- It's Mr. Alsina

Me- Ok, the address is 1321 Bourbon Street

Mr. Alsina- ok I'm omw

Me- ok, but I'm about to go take a shower so.....

Mr. Alsina- it's ok I'll wait now go.

I got my phone and locked it, walking up the stairs to my bed room. I grabbed a black lace bra, and a black lace thong, my Marilyn Monroe sweatshirt, my black skater skirt, my 'love' gold chain, My black high heel boots, and my black cross body bag with silver chain strap. I laid my clothes out on my bed and got towels to take a shower. I turned the left hand knob until the water was running hot. I then turned the right hand knob to even out the temperature. Kicking my shoes off, I turn the middle knob to transfer the water to the shower head. I closed the shower curtain and took my clothes off. Pulling the curtain forward from the back, I stepped in gently, embracing the soothing effect of the water on my skin. Feeling the water melt away all of my tension. Grabbing both my towel and Calvin Klein Euphoria Body Wash, is step farther under the water. I open the body wash and put a little on my towel lathering and washing my body with if. I then rinse it off and get my shampoo and wash my hair.

Me- I'm Outside...
Mr. Alsina- Okay, I'm omw.

I sat down and turned the tv off. I was really uncomfortable. Why would a teacher want me at his house ? It made no sense to me. This is the type of thing I'd appreciate to have a dad to explain to me, but I don't. So I won't swoon over the thought. Reality is reality. I started to get really into deep thinking about myself and my life. How my whole life is a joke. I haven't even told_____ about my secretly. I took out my journal and started writing a poem. I wrote : We live in a world where everything is corrupt and every turn brings destruction and devastation. How with every "I love you" comes pain and hurt. How with every promise there's a lie. That's life and how it'll always be. Adaption on the other hand. Just. Takes. Time.
By the time I was finished Mr. Alsina had texted me six times, telling me to come outside. I grabbed my house key and my phone charger and left, double checking to see that the door was locked. I was still a little skeptical about the tv, but I'm sure Aunt Kar was watching Empire recordings and had to leave quickly. When I was outside, I saw a black and red Camaro parallel to the sidewalk. He was on his phone and when he noticed I came outside he jumped and got out to open the door. I was partly disgusted by this gesture. I got in the car and got on my phone. "Yuh don't speak?" Mr. Alsina asked. "I do, just not to people who call me out in class. Just because I texted you and we talked on the phone, doesn't mean I really want to talk to you," she replied with an attitude. Maybe this teacher was cute, but she wasn't going to let him get his way as with other girls. "Rude much? Well, I'm thinking we can start with quadratic equations. Maybe a little calculus. But you're seriously struggling with pre-algebra although you should've learned that in 7th grade. So after you get settled we'll be good." "Okay . But I need to be home in time so Aunt won't be mad at me," she replied, not forgetting to mention her aunt. "Candice, you're a very smart and beautiful girl." It wasn't until then that she actually started listening to what he was saying. "What do you mean quadratic equations. I learned that way back.. You must forget you teach advanced math. So why again are you bringing me to your house?" She reached for the door and he locked them. "I want you to meet someone. You'll like him, a lot. And if you don't do what he says, he's going to hurt you more than necessary. So sit back, Candice, and enjoy the ride," he said with a sly smirk as he sped off.
