Bakari had been on my mind for the last few months it is now November 12th. My birthday.
I would've atleast thought he would've texted me. I had my hair done already i was just meeting my friend somewhere.
I walked down the street from my house. I continued to walk by Smokey's.
I looked into the window. Bakari pressed his lips against this brownskin girl with braids.
I felt a lump in my throat as I watched the seen. Tears began to run as I just watched from afar.
I walked away from them. Is that why bakari haven't been talking to me.
On my birthday, my fucking birthday. I covered my eyes as i wiped them.
I bumped into someone knocking me to the ground before i moved my hands off my eyes as i groaned on the concrete.
I seen a boy. He had a lot of hair, curly hair at that. "I'm sorry" he spoke as he helped me up.
"No you're good" i spoke softly. "I know it isn't my business but why were you crying?" He spoke.
"Um, me and my ex, he had stopped talking to me a few months back and just now i saw him kissed up under a girl." I spoke wiping my tear.
"By Smokey's?" He spoke and i nodded. "Come on cause that isn't fair" he spoke.
He grabbed my hand and we walked into the Smokey's establishment.
Bakari had looked at me and coogie. "Wassup coogie" he spoke.
I looked at bakari. His eyes shot. "Na man, don't wassup me. I thought you knew better, instead of cheating on this pretty girl, you should've just broken up with her. You didn't even text her a happy birthday. Look at her" coogie spoke.
The girl looked at me and bakari. "I'm sorry I didn't know" she spoke hugging me.
I hugged her back. "You're ok, I don't blame you at all, it's not your fault" I spoke.
"Bakari I will be talking to you later. And lovey happy birthday you look pretty don't cry over him" she spoke.
"Thank you" I spoke as she walked away. I felt like a stabbing had stabbed me in my stomach because I kept replaying that scene.
The girl walked out the establishment. "Mimi im sorry, I just I don't know I met lynae a few months ago, and we hit it off. I'm sorry. I did see your texts and I was gonna text you back" he spoke.
"Bakari, fuck you. Honestly fuck you, and I wasn't even on fuck you but fuck you" I spoke as I turned on my heel and walked out.
The coogie boy trailed after me. "You feel better?" He spoke.
"A little, but how do you know bakari" I spoke. "He's my cousin" coogie spoke I shook my head.
"Thank you for that coogie, and as you can see my name is Mimi" I spoke with a smile looking at the boy.
"Nice to meet you, but my first name is Charles but please call me coogie" he spoke.
"Ok" I spoke as he walked on the right side of me following the side walk rule.
He took me out to eat and I payed for both of us, we exchanged numbers.
After a few weeks we even began to date, so the only thing I can really do is thank bakari for cheating on me and letting me meet a better person, an angel names Charles.
