         "Damn and it just got silent?" A very tipsy Lena spoke as she sprayed the baking tray.

        "QUIET? Honey you could hear the eyebrows raising" I responded telling her how I had told Symphony I loved him and he didn't say it back.

        "Maybe he had a brain fart you know men-"

         "That's was the longest brain fart in history. Then to top it all off I haven't heard from him at all this week, he was gone before I woke up and wouldn't answer my calls." As I layed the cooked lies onto the pan I poured another glass of the wine at had gifted me.

       He may not have been a man of emotions , but wine and food. That was his language right there.

      "How many times did you call Mrs.Nonchalant, because knowing you it was only once" she responded.

     "TWICE , it was twice" I defended and Lena couldn't help but giggle.

     "Maybe he's scared Xo? I mean the man paid 5 figures for a painting you just 'wanted' to make you happy. You guys weren't even dating . If that doesn't say love then I don't know what does"

     Shrugging I bit on my bottom lip debating on reaching out again. I hated to feel embarrassed but I understand that sometimes life has to humble you and destroy your ego to keep you in touch with reality.

     Picking up the phone I called . On speaker of course.

      Watching as it went to voicemail Lena shook her head. "Oh that boy has lost his mind-"

Ding.

Looking down I saw a message from Sy, 'can I come get you tonight , please'

"What should I say?" I spoke looking up at Lena.

"FUCK NO- wait. Don't listen to me that's why I'm single" Lena responded as she shook her head .

"I'm just not gonna respond I'm really not-"

Ding.

"Please" the text read.

Biting my lip I responded 'yes' as I headed upstairs starting to get ready.

"GO GET YO MAN" Lena exclaimed as she watched me rush to get ready.

  "Okay I want to give like 'you're going to wish you said it back' so Hair up or down?" I interrogated Lena.
