Koria : core-ree-uh ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
"Get up man" Tahj snatched the blanket off me. "You gotta go home"
"Well damn nigga" I bucked at him sitting up. "Where's the hospitality?"
"I'm just saying I told you we'd talk when you wake up and you been in here so called sleep for 3 days" he stood, arms crossed.
"Obviously I needed another day if you still tryna talk" I sighed getting up and cutting the act.
"If you changed your mind you changed your mind Koria, I ain't tripping. Imma get my shit done regardless you feel me" he laughed.
"My phone's been ringing nonstop" I changed the subject. "I've loved ignoring it and being bored. I don't remember how it felt to truly do nothing" I expressed happily.
"Ight, help me and you got that for sure" he smiled.
"You big dawg" I pat his chest walking out. "You got it"
"Right, thank you for not trying to do dumb shit" he followed behind me. "Let me handle it myself, you just sit back and wait your turn"
"I don't want a turn" I rolled my eyes. "Carlos said the business is yours" he smacked his lips
"Gladly Carlos isn't here to enforce that statement. You take it, like you say you would and then it's mine" I said.
"Is that not what I been say- ight Koria, I got you" he laughed. "But I need you to go back home and back to your life"
"But I kinda like it here" I buttered him up.
"I bet you do" he laughed sliding my hands off him. "Answer your phone and go home"
We said our goodbyes and I left with a frown. I finally answered the phone placing it on speaker. "Wassup"
"Wassup?" Harlo asked. "Bring your ass home"
"I'm grown Harlo, I ain't gotta stay with you. I'm moving out, so if this ain't got nothing to do with the business I'm about to hang up" I informed her.
The line went dead and I shrugged. My stomach hurt, it's like I can eat 5 Taco Bell burritos with extra beef. Which is exactly what I did, not 5 but I had me some Taco Bell.
"Taco Bell? Really?" Ty asked sitting in the chair next to me. I huffed and got up but he grabbed my hand and yanked me down. "Listen, I was told dead or alive. Get the fuck up and quietly"
My anger struggled to stay contained but I controlled it. Ty and I walked out. "Ma'am" he nodded to a woman who stared at us.
Once we made it outside I snatched away from him. "Why can't she just stop? I'm done Tyson! Seriously." I yelled. I get the whole having to be in the business mess but I'm an adult at the end of the day. I shouldn't have to be treated like a child.
