E'Mani and I were in the cafeteria at the mall.
"Mani, when you gonna bring my niecy pooh to see her auntie?" I asked E'Mani as I drank my smoothie.
"Girl you know you can get her bad butt anytime," Mani said.
"Where's Shay?" I wondered aloud.
"Who knows with her ass. Probably getting some dick as always," the both of us laughed, as I pulled out my phone, dialing her number.
"You have reached the voicemail box o-" an automatic voice said in my ear.
"I got her dial tone, wonder wassup with her," I said in curiosity.
"Wanna stop by her house to see what she's up to?" Mani asked, gathering her trash.
I followed her to the trashcan and replied, "Yeah. You're driving, my feet hurt."
Once inside the car, I slid off my sandals. I grabbed the auxiliary cord, going to attach it to my phone when I felt a vibration.
"Hey bitch!" I answered assuming Shay was calling me back.
"Damn ma, I was just 'Daddy' last night," Roc chuckled in my ear.
Instantly my face grew hot as if E'Mani heard what he said.
"Be quiet, silly. But wassup?" I questioned, twirling my hair around my finger.
"Nothing chillen, missing yo' cute ass face. What you about to do?" Roc said.
"Nothing baby, me and Mani was about to go to Shay's house".
"Nah, take yo' sexy ass home and be ready by the time I get there, we're going out tonight."
I smiled through the phone. Once we said our share of "good-bye's" and "I love you's", I told Mani to forget going to Shay's.
"Alright girly, I love you. I gotta go pick up Angel from her grandma's," said Mani as she pulled up to my house.
"I love you too, and kiss my niecy pooh for me," I slid on my sandals and got out her car.
E'Mani watched me go into the house, making sure I was safe, and blew her horn.
"What the fuck?" I said as I felt a wave of dizziness. I gripped the doorknob for support as I waited for the lightheadedness to go away.
After a while, it seized. Must be my new prescription.
Having asthma was hard, it seemed like they were always putting me on new medication for my attacks.
I made my way upstairs to find my outfit for tonight's outing. Finally, after sending a picture to Mani, I decided on the perfect outfit.
I checked the time. . .6:18
Quickly I rushed into the shower.
Once I got out, I slid on the black sleeveless and backless dress. The tightness of the dress caused my ass to pop out.
Hurriedly I went to do my makeup. No later than I finished, Roc called me.
"Hello?" I answered, sliding on my red bottom heels.
"Unlock the door," Roc simply stated and hung up in my ear.
I hated when he did that shit. Just for that I'm gonna take my time.
After about 5 minutes, I decided to open the door.
"You look so beautiful, princess ," Roc stated, twirling me. He looked good himself, his white shirt pressed against his rock hard abs. He wore True Religion jeans and Timberland boots.
My baby looked good as hell without trying.
"Thank you Daddy, so do you," I replied inhaling his scent.
I locked up the door and walked to the car, seeing that Roc was standing there waiting with my door open.
Once I got inside, he shut my door and jogged over to his side.
"Why didn't you have the key?" I asked once he pulled off.
"I left it at home," Roc said.
I simply replied "oh" as I enjoyed the comfortable silence.
The enjoyment was short lived when I felt the lightheadedness come back. I felt warm and dehydrated.
Roc looked over at me in the corner of his eyes, and instantly got out my inhaler, putting it to my mouth.
As I inhaled deeply, Roc made a U-turn in the direction of our house.
"You alright baby?" He asked once we pulled up, carrying me into the house.
"No" I cried, "I wasn't trying to ruin the night baby."
"Your health is more important than some phoney ass restaurant," Roc said, causing me to give a dry laugh.
He laid me on the bed and got ready for his shower.
Once I heard the water running, I took off my dress and heels.
Buzz Buzz Bu-
"Hello?" I answered Roc's phone without looking at the contact.
The unknown caller hung up immediately after the words left my mouth.
I looked in the call logs seeing that the number matched with Shay's number.
I called back.
"Oh hey Roc, have you seen Crystal?" She began.
"This IS Crystal, why didn't you call me?"
"I did, you didn't answer," she said with ease.
"Alright girl, just text me," I said.
"Okay, love ya!" Shay hung up.
I looked at my phone and didn't see any missed calls.
Is my phone trippen? Or!
Why does she have Roc's number?
I deleted the call from his history and pressed on his messages.
Just as I heard a doorknob being unlocked.
Swiftly I erased his recent searches and threw his phone on the bed as he came out with a towel wrapped around his waist.
I didn't even hear the water stop.
Fuck! I'll have to look another time. I'll play it cool for now.
My mind wondered as I laid back in bed.
E'Mani on the left.
Caleb in the middle.
Shay on the right.
