Karmic Effect

Their Man.

The following morning was quite sunny and quiet. I woke up out of the bed and walked to the bathroom to brush my teeth. While observing my surroundings I had to take a moment and show gratitude to the almighty.

For the longest time, I had been wanting to see the city! Now I finally get the chance abd it's in such a beautiful apartment complex. Don't get me wrong, I don't live in poverty or a bummy area. I just live in a sucluded farm area that's a tad bit underdeveloped. Where everything "fun" is so far from us. The mall, literally an hour to 45 minutes away. Ubers don't come that side because it's "too dangerous and they get lost".

Plus everyone there knows my mother because she's chief of police. Which makes it even harder to have a social life. Is she highly respected? No. The men look down on her because of misogyny. Here it's believed no woman should earn more than a man, nor lead a man. My mom does BOTH.

The women here envy her, because even though men don't respect my mother...they still lust for her. She is well put together, independent and beautiful. Aside from her 9-5 she's an aerobic instructor on the side.

While remembering how weird people at the farm acted towards my mom, I decided to text her 'good morning moma'. With my face planted on the screen, I walked to the kitchen to make all three of us a delicious English breakfast.

........

While the dishwasher ran, I made sure to the food stayed piping hot as I proceeded to go wake Tina, who I was sharing a bed with and Ocean up.

A yawn came from the couch, which made me reach for the closest object to attack with. I waited as long locs peaked outside the blanket on the couch followed by two bulk arms.

"Ocean!!!!" I yelled to the top my lungs and launched a few hits at the blanket that seemed to be growing hair and arms.

Ocean and Tina came running out of the rooms to see what had me so frightened.

"What...what?!" A head finally appeared from the blanket and spoke.

"Who are you and what the fuck are you doing in this house!?"

I had my grip strong on the handle of a pan I grabbed from the kitchen island.

"-Naveah that's my boyfriend!"

Ocean walked to the man as I heard Tina chuckling next to me. I quickly put the pan down and proceeded to apologize feeling very ashamed.

The faces of shock turned to laughter and everyone except me was laughing at the situation.
