Sydney
"Girl, I can't believe you've been here damn near a month and you still not unpacked." Bri looked through my unpacked boxes
"I've been busy." I shrugged "Besides, there's order in this chaos. I know where everything is
and where everything goes."
"So, uh, where does this go? Ooh!" She jumped after touching my massager in the box, making it come on
I rushed over and grabbed it "It's not what you think. It's just a massager." I said while turning it off
"Oh, come on, Syd, like I don't know...
"It's a massager!" I arguably repeated "Men take too much of your time. Time I don't have."
"You gone be old living with cats."
"Don't say that, that's cold!" I chuckled
"I'm telling you." She shook her head
"Oh, it's just I never seem to find anyone on the same page with me.
"What, like Chris?" She asked
"Oh, here we go." I rolled my eyes, putting up a few of my books
"Come on. You're gonna tell me you never thought about getting with him?" She inquired
"Chris asked me once when we were seniors in college. I told him no." I stated
"No?! What is wrong
with you, girl?"
"I mean, we've been through
everything together."
"Exactly. So if you two hook up, you get the best of both worlds. You get the buddy
and the booty." She foolishly grinned
I pursed my lips and turned to her "I hear you, but relationships break up. People get angry, they never want to talk to each other again."
"That won't happen. Y'all are too close."
"I mean, you're getting divorced.
Terrell was your ace, right? You still talk to him?"
"Me and Terrell talk all the time. We talk about alimony, we talk about that bitch that he..." she trailed off, frowning
I nodded "Exactly, exactly. And you know Chris. He's never been with a woman more than a month."
"Yeah, well, looks like he's gonna keep this one."
"Guess so." I shrugged "Ooh, she invited me
to her bridal tea shower thingy, and I don't know what to bring."
"Want me to pick something up for you?" Bri asked
"Oh, would you?
"I got you, sis"
"You're the best sister in the world." I smiled
"Mhm." She fanned me off "So what do you want me to do with your massager? High speed, low?" She joked
I threw a book in her direction "Get out"!
