I never thought I’d be interested in a guy again especially this soon after what my ex did to me.

He’s the whole reason I moved here.

But I couldn’t stop looking at my phone, lurking on Shai’s page, tryna find Von’s handle but I had no luck.

I got curious about him, which led to this.

I gave up though and decided to call Shai. She picked up after five rings, groaning at me.

“This better be important or an emergency.”

“If not?” I chuckled.

“I’ma kill you for wasting my damn time lil gurl, I’m at work.”

“How bout I give you ten bucks for a minute of your time.”

She sighed. “Make that fifteen and you’ve got yourself a deal.”

“O-kay, so uh, I just wanna know Von’s IG.”

“Unt uh, that one’s off limits,” she told me and I furrowed my brows.

“Why?”

“Take it up with him.” She laughed and hung up the call. So much for a minute!

I held my chin and scrunched up my face, tryna think of a reason she didn’t wanna give it to me.

Or maybe he only had a finsta.

“Ma’am?” I heard someone say, making me look up from the floor at the asian man.

“Oh, I don’t work here sir.”

“I know you don’t because this is my shop and you’ve been standing here for ten minutes.”

“Ohh.”

“If you don’t buy something, I’m gonna have to ask you to leave.”

“Yes right, buying.” I chuckled and grabbed the nearest bag of chips.

I even forgot what I came here for cause of all of these thoughts about Von.

I got home and laid down on my bed as I dialled Shai’s number again. It took three tries until she answered this time.

“I get fired I’ma sue you down to your last penny.”

“I didn’t use up all my minute so it finna really just be your fault.”

“What you want now?” she asked causing me to giggle and kick my feet up in the air.

“Von’s number.”

“This couldn’t wait til I got home?” She sucked her teeth.

“Not really.”

“If this finna get you off my back then aight.” She hung up and I waited.

How you agree with his number but refuse with his handle? Shady if you ask me!

I got the text an hour later. I sighed in relief cause I thought it’d never come.

I wasn’t sure if I should call though cause what if he reads too much into it? Plus last time I gave him the wrong number.

I set my phone aside and unpaused the TV show I was watching on my laptop.

But I couldn’t focus anymore so I gave in and grabbed my phone. I placed my feet up on the wall and dialled his number.

I just wanted to ask why he was being secretive about his page. Nothing much.

“Hey, this Lakaela,” I greeted when he answered the call after two tries.

“Hi, what can I help you with?” I heard a girl’s voice causing my jaw to drop.

“Is this Trevon’s phone?” I asked.

“Yea but he ain’t around. Who’s this so I can tell him you called?”

“Nah, it’s cool.” I hung up.

Of course, he has a girlfriend!

I rolled my eyes and slapped my forehead, feeling embarrassed.
