Work was annoyingly busy tonight. I almost said fuck this job, five times in the last three hours. Wade was happy go lucky, smiling just because it's a Monday. Who the fuck smiles on a Monday? He just loves life. He was close to gettin backhanded.

Good guy or not...when I'm aggravated, get from round me with all that.

Miles, was interviewing another person, who probably came off the street and decided they wanna work today. He was a decent manger but when we were short staffed he'd hire anyone.

I walk to the back and take off my apron. "Going on my break."

I still have twenty-five minutes before my break but I don't care. Um tired, hungry and just because I fuckin wanna get out of this place. I go around the back and sit down on a chair we keep out there.

The line wrapped around the building, but I wasn't going back inside to help. I went to type Tre name in on IG and he still had me blocked.

I know y'all like "That's what I get." Well, what y'all have going on besides reading up on my life? This dick, suck it.

I missed the bus by a minute.

Sixty stank ass seconds.

Wade, still was on the clock for another two hours. Mrs. Dale already told me she wouldn't be able to pick me up.  I just start walking.

Patience was another language. I didn't speak it.

It would start pouring raining because what is a shitty day without rain? I take shelter under some flower shop. Despite, how eager I was to get to the shelter, I refused to catch a cold. Being sick requires being taking care of.

I don't need anything but water, air and food. I've learned I can go quite a while without food and water, also. The rain, wasn't showing signs of slowing up. I check my account and there's no way I can afford Uber or Lyft.

I have 5 percent. I quickly search him on Facebook.
(You know who him is, so please don't play dumb.)

I send a message of my location and ask him to do me this solid, if he wasn't busy.

Amina came back around, returning some normalcy to our relationship. I was out picking up her some food, yeah I was going pick her up from class and we go watch a movie on this rainy day.

I receive a notification from Islan. Obviously, I waste no time opening it.

Yo u round that black owned flower shop?
It's rainin...you can come scoop me?

I check the time. Five minutes ago. I quickly pay for Amina's vegan salad and rush back to my car. I put the address in. I was only like ten minutes away from him, I head in his direction. The rain was heavy, fogging my windows. I increase the window shield wipers to full speed. Traffic is mild, thank God. Once, I'm close I search for him.
