I opened my eyes to the sun peaking through my curtains. I yawned and stretched. I got out the bed in my bra and thong and walked out my bedroom. I was walking to my kitchen and I stopped dead in my tracks when I noticed Payton on my couch. I walked over to her.
"Payton!" I shook her.
She groaned and rolled over.
"Get the hell up!" I yelled.
"I'm up!". She sat up.
"How the hell you get in here?" I asked.
"Where you get that thong?" She asked.
"Answer my question". I said.
"Patrick gave me the spare key last night". She said.
"I got in at midnight, when did you get in?" I asked.
"I don't know". She said.
"I need to go to the grocery store, you coming?" I asked.
"No, I need sleep". She said and plopped back down on the couch. I went to the bathroom and took a shower. I got out and went to my unpacked suit case. I took out some skinny jeans, a half shirt, and some flip flops. I put my cloths on and grabbed my wallet and keys.
"Payton I'm leaving". I said.
"Okay, bring bacon back". She yelled. I laughed and walked out the apartment. I walked down the leaking hallway and walked out the door. I walked down the street and it was people out and children playing. I pushed my hair back out of my face and walked in to the store. I got a cart and went down the isle. I put bread, milk, eggs, ice-cream, lunch meat, mayo, cookies, chips, pop, candy, bacon, ground beef, pork chops, and hot dogs in the cart. I went to the check out line and started to put my food on the thing so the lady could scan them.
"Welcome to Food-Land". The girl said. I smiled. The girl was short, light skin, had green eyes, and long hair, with a pretty smile.
"That will be forty-four dollars and fifty cents". She said. I pulled the money out and handed her a fifty dollar bill.
"Thank you for shopping at Food-land". She said and handed me my change.
"Thank you". I said and walked out the store. I got the bags out the cart and began to walk down the street.
"You need help with that beautiful". A boy grabbed the bags from my left hand.
"I'm Johnathan". He said.
"Thats nice". I said.
"You not gone tell me yo name?" He asked.
"NO!" I yelled and grabbed my bags from him and walked in to my apartment building. I heard him mumble "bitch". I walked in to the building with all my bags.
"Hey, let me help you". Paris came and grabbed my bags.
"Thanks". I said as we got on the elevator.
"You live here with your parents?" He asked licking his lips.
"No". I said as we got off on my floor.
"You live by yo self?" He asked.
"Yes." I said walking toward my apartment. I unlocked the door and let Paris go in first. He sat my bags down in the kitchen and I noticed Payton left. I signed. I sat on the couch and Paris came and sat next to me. He was wearing sagging True Religion jeans, polo shirt, and Parda shoes. I looked him up and down.
"See something you like?" He asked. I looked the other way.
"You can leave now". I said. He stood up and pulled my chin with is finger towards his face.
