Another Man's Treasure [TMAD.]

Please excuse all mistakes.

The Shopping Spree.

I scattered through the shit load of photos I kept in the suitcase of my small family; Emerie, my mom, and I. It was always just us. No aunts or uncles, cousins, grandparents. Nothing. Just us. Self Reminder: Call mom.

I've been distancing myself from Roy every since our kiss a couple days ago. He came and checked on me to see of I was capable to sleep by myself. I kept it short and told him yeah, rolling over and trying to get some sleep, which I hardly got.

It's not that I don't like Roy because I do but, I'm just not ready for a relationship. I don't think Roy is abusive but, It's hard to tell by the way he strangled My'ana for calling me out of my name and speaking down on me.

I think Roy and I should just take it slow and see where things go because I don't want this to be a another speedy relationship for me. I've already been through too much pain, mentally and physically, and lead into a false love. I think I'll be okay for a while.

I was in the process of putting the pictures back in the suitcase, neatly when there was a small knock on my door.

"Come in."

Roy peeked his head in the cracked doorway, giving me a small, greeting smile. I was distancing myself from him but his happiness was contagious so, I smiled in return.

"Hey, I was just seeing if you had any plans or wanted to do something before I have to leave for the office at 7." Roy was an entrepreneur. He owned plenty of businesses; world wide gyms, insurance companies (life and car), restaurants, and a he was the biggest drug lord in Springfield, Illinois; way bigger than Ahmir and his upcoming gang. I'm surprised they weren't rivalries.

I don't have a problem with Roy being in the drug game but I just hope he's very careful with his work because if not, I don't want to have another incarnated or deceased friend killed by this drug game.

"I don't have any plans but if you wanted to do something, what do you have in mind?"

"We can do whatever you want. Amusement park, water park, skating, the mal-"

"The mall!" I yell excitedly. I never been to an amusement park before but I wanted to save that trip for a bigger occasion like my birthday or something. I could go shopping any day. I was never really able to do it for the past couple of years with Ahmir cause I could really never leave unless it was with Emerie or Benjamin.

"Okay, the mall it is then. Do your little girly thing then come down meet me in the living room when your ready." He says closing the crack in the door.

I get up and head to my closet to pick out my outfit for the day. I picked out a navy blue knee length cardigan, white crop top, denim skinny jeans, and my bailey bow chestnut uggs.

I hopped in the shower, doing my usual routine, hopped out, brushed my teeth, lotioned up, deodorized, and got dressed. I added a few accessories; a pair of gold hoops, a few rings, my gold cross necklace, and gold rolex.

Damn, these pants make my ass look good. I was about to take a pic for the gram but I face palmed myself in stupidity. I don't have a phone anymore, I'll buy one later.
