What's with the attitude? Kin asks with a look of bewilderment on his face. This is too much. Like we are at the end of our relationship, why now, I ask Kin? "I see you! I know that it's been just a day or so since we made our decision to divorce but, the thought of losing you is more than I can bear, says Kin. I'm thinking hard about this one. Now, he wants to work on things. For years he's been treating me like he couldn't stand me but now this. I'm just as confused as ever but he is still my husband so I invite him up to my room.
Soon as we get up to my room he starts questioning me about stupid stuff. Like, do I have another man waiting on the side somewhere ready to take his place? I'm like yeah sure, there's several of them. All the men in town to be exact. I'm their dream woman. Obese, boobless, scared up like the subway in Harlem, 46-year-old mother of four, grandmother of one, with zero interest in sex and a husband that's lurking around. Yes, that's me! Winner, winner Chicken Dinner! Kin walks to my bedroom and says that he needs to shower and take a nap.
I quickly get dressed in whatever and go for a walk. Not knowing where I am going, I just step out on a wing and pray that I am heading towards food and maybe a drink. As soon as I get about a block and a half away from the hotel I see Classix headed in my direction. I quickly turn around and try to walk away to no avail. Classix keeps calling my name so I turn around and say, " I saw you on NEN! I say with disdain walking back towards him.
Why are you tripping, though? Classix asks. You are a married woman, remember? Elle J. and I go way back. Sometimes we're friendly, sometimes we're extra friendly. Classix says.
In my head, I'm saying (Negro, Please!)
Classix says maybe one day we can become extra friendly as well. (so, what about his celibacy thing?) I disagree and state that we will never be extra friendly because she doesn't do that anymore! What's that? Classix asks. Settle, I reply. As I turn my head and walk away. Settle! I repeat! Classix returns to his vehicle and drives away.
