Every Thug Needs a Lady.

Part 3

I tossed and turned in bed. Thinking and re-thinking about the days events. My heart couldn't help but skip a beat when his image invaded my mind.

I mentally slapped myself at my last comment to him. He probably thinks I've been with heaps of guys. Who openly says they have heaps of stalkers. He's an idiot who can't take a joke. I'm an idiot for saying that stuff. Who cares Ria he ain't all that anyway. Sleep Ria sleep.

My minds conversation kept me up most of the night. And by the time I had fallen asleep it was daylight.

"Ria Ria Ria! Girl you better get up or you'll be late for work"

I struggled to open my eyes, feeling like I had just fallen asleep only moments ago. Subconsciously reaching for my phone on the side table next to my bed, through the slits of my eyes I looked at the time. It took a few seconds for my brain to register the screen.

" 8...8...8.30? DAMN IT 8.30!!! Suga why didn't you wake me up?? OMG I'm so late!!!"

Mardz- "Ah you know that thing that ticks you off in the morning because you ain't giving it attention? With the loud mouth and a snooze button that seems to do more damage than good? Yeah that's called an Alarm clock. Maybe you should try it some time lol."

I have never been late to work and today will be no different. 5 mins later I was out the door, hair in a mess, wrinkled uniform, and only one shoe on.

"Mardz make sure you lock up before you head out."

Mardz- "Sure thing roomy! Oh by the way, who's Jahr??"

I froze in my tracks. Wondering how on earth she knew about Jahr. Martina or mardz as I like to call her was my roommate. I moved out of home 5 months ago. Mum and Dad had moved back to Samoa to live the peaceful retired life after Shaye died and Via now had a man who loved and adored her and her kids. The change in Via still shocked me sometimes. The house was getting crowded when news broke that Via was expecting, I knew I had to move out.

Martina was a proud but very loud Samoan. Didn't care what came out of her mouth and was completely honest , maybe too honest with everything.

"Huh?"

Mardz- "Don't play coy with me. Who's Jahr or Jahrrrrr or was it Jayyy? Baby? Hun?? I can't remember which one it was for sure.."

"I don't know what you're on about but I gotta go I'm already late. Lock up kay. See you tonight!"

Mardz- "Maybe you need to learn to stop sleep talking and dreaming about your imaginary babe JAHR!"

How embarrassing.. I decided if I kept walking it would be like it never happened or she never asked.

Mardz- "You can run but you can't hide! See you tonight."

I could hear her laugh echo down the street. I will never live this down.

"I'm so sorry I'm late Willie"

Willie- "You made it with 2 mins to spare. Finalize these orders and then I'll get you to start on the new program. I want to start the pilot on Monday."

"On it."

Work was hectic, keeping my mind busy. Before I knew it I was clocking off and heading out the door. It was dark outside and I just couldn't wait to get home and sleep. I texted Mardz to see if she was home.

*Sorry sis, w/my man. I'll be home later tonight.*

I decided to walk home instead of waiting for the bus. I'll stop by the Asian store and buy me a feed first. Good plan, I thought to myself.
