"Latch"

Birthday Issues

The Miami sun peeked through the curtain to my bedroom's balcony door.
I rubbed my eyes, allowing myself to see better, and noticed that I was in bed alone.
What?
I knew that August coming over here confessing his love for me and sexin' me to sleep wasn't a dream because I was still naked and a little sore between my legs.
So where the fuck did he go? Why would he just leave like that?
I layed on my back and stared up at the ceiling hoping that, that just wasn't a front to get some pussy from me.
Like, did I really get played?
The more I layed there and thought about it, the more frustrated I became.
I heard the girls making noise in the living room, so I got up, threw on one of the hotel's white cotton robes and went to brush my teeth before joining them.

"Well look who's finally up! You came to get your sex evidence? ", Myla said to me as soon as I walked out of the room.

I frowned my face. "My what? "

She didn't reply, she just pointed at my robe and bra that was still on the floor.
I huffed and picked my things up and set them on the arm of the couch for the time being.

"So Aaron came and did his thang huh? ", Evelyn asked.

I sat down on the couch, bringing one of my legs close to my chest, and shook my head.

"August came over actually."

They all shot looks at me.

"Say what now!", Evelyn said.

"Wait... so that's why that nigga left us at the diner last night!", Jennifer said smiling. "So where was Aaron? "

"Bitch who cares! August came and gave my sister the D!", Myla said, as she walked over to stand in front of me and twerk. "Ayeeee!"

I smirked at her foolishness and pushed her away from me.

"No, but seriously though... you ditched Aaron for August? ", Evelyn asked.

"No. I was waiting for Aaron to hit me up but I forgot you had turned my phone off so I didn't see his message until I got back here. I took a shower, dozed off for a lil while and the door woke me up. I thought it was y'all, but it was August."

"And then what happened? ", Jen asked, as she sat on the coffee table directly in front of me, excited to hear the story.

"We just stood at the door and talked and then next thing you know, our clothes was off."

"Her details are so wack.", Myla said, shaking her head.

"I'm so happy!", Jen squealed and then got up to hug me.

"Yeah, well you can put your happiness on hold. I'm not even about to get to caught up wit' that nigga."

"Ohhhh boy. You're so annoying.", Jen said, as she walked away to the kitchen area.

"Ain't she though!", Myla agreed.

"I don't care!", I said in defense. "He left this morning and didn't even bother telling me or leaving a note or some shit! No phone call, no text, nothin'! Who does that?!"

"It's not like you won't see him again!", Jen said from the kitchen. "Plus they're staying in a suite a few floors up from us."

"That's not the point Jen!"

"I get you Mel'. You just think the most courteous thing for him to do, especially since y'all had sex, was for him to let you know he was leaving and whether he'd be able to see you later or not.", Evelyn said.
