Long Distance Love

Chapter 10

[It's been three weeks already. Meika & Mark have been going out since the first night they met at TGIFs! The two are now at the mall hanging out!]

Meika: Thanks for getting me out the house. I needed it!

Mark: I got you! What store you trynna go to next?

Meika: I need a few things from American Eag...

[Right before their eyes, Marqus is at the mall with a girl beside him walking toward Mark & Meika. The girl starts walking toward Mark with a huge smile.]

The girl: Mark!! What's Up man!

Mark: Aye! Wasssssshaaaanin Taneisha!! What you doing here?

Taneisha: I'm with my boyfriend, Marqus! Marqus, this is my friend Mark! We went to school together.

Meika: Nice to meet you Taneisha!

Taneisha: Aww, thanks! The feeling is mutual.

Marqus: Sup MARK! *as he says sarcastically.*

Mark: Waddup! This is my girl, Tameika!

Meika doesn't say anything to Marqus. In fact, they don't even look past each other's way.

Mark: So, Taneisha, you two want to hang out?

Marqus: Oh nah, nah, we have pla....

Taneisha: Sure we do! We were just walking around anyway.

Meika: Mark & I were about to head to American Eagle.

Mark: No, it's okay babe! We can hang for a minute. We'll go later. Promise.

Marqus: I'm sure the girl wants to go to her store.

*Meika grills Marqus* 👀😒

Mark: Babe, Taneisha & I are going to grab a table! How bout you grab some Mc. Donalds!

*They walk ahead! Meika finds her way to the Mc. Donalds ordering line. Marqus has no choice but to stay behind her. He couldn't just sit with Mark; the guy who's dating his "boo"

& the girl he's seeing while him & Meika are on a "break."*

Meika's money falls out of her back pocket. Marqus picks it up.

Marqus: Here!

Meika takes it & doesn't say anything!

She turns back around to the cashier!

MD Worker: Hi! Can I take your order?

Meika: Can I have a #3, 2 chicken wraps & 4 large fries. Also 4 cokes!

*Meika grabs the order, but has a little trouble taking it all to the table, so Marqus; without saying a word, grabs a few things from the tray & helps her. They still don't exchange words yet!*

Meika: Pretty girlfriend you got there!

Marqus: Nice Marqus impersonator you got there yourself! Ha!

Meika: Yeah Aaight! He looks better than you though!

Marqus: Mm! I wouldn't say Taneisha looks better than you!

HA SIKE! Gassed you, huh?

*Meika rolls her eyes at Marqus' remark as she approaches the table with the food.*

Mark: Took you guys quite awhile. I'm starving!

Marqus mumbles: "broke ass!"

Taneisha: Marqus!!!

Marqus? What?

Meika: It's okay Taneisha! Your boyfriend may just be a TAD upset about you guys not being able to hang by y'all selves.

Mark: You know... You guys have been avoiding each other. Is everything aaight?

Marqus: Boy, we cool!

Meika: Yeah! Yeah babe! Why would we...

[Meika's hand pushes her drink off the table onto Marqus' lap which eventually leaks onto his sneakers! :O]

Marqus: OMFG!!! THAT'S THE THIRD TIME YOU SPILLED A DRINK ON ME MEIKA!!!! EVERY TIME...

*Marqus pauses. He begins to realize that he put all of his information on the table. Mark did not know that Meika used to date him, & Taneisha did not know that Meika is still pretty much his current girlfriend!*

Taneisha: Wait... Third time? What do you mean third time?

Mark: Her name is TAmeika! Only people who knows her well calls her MEIKA!!! The hell is going on!?

Meika: Babe, calm down! Let's not discuss this now!

Mark: No! LET'S discuss this now! It's the perfect time to discuss this. Everyone is here.

Taneisha: So y'all know each other?

*Meika & Marqus both look at each other. Meika takes a deep breath!*

Meika: Look. Marqus & I used to date. He's my ex & we...

Marqus: I'm your EX now? So are we taking a break or not?

Mark: Hold up! This schrawnchy little boy is STILL your boyfriend?

Meika: No listen...

Taneisha: Marqus! You had the nerve to get with me WHILE you're currently with her?

Marqus: But we're not...

Mark: Ya need to get ya stuff together.

Taneisha, let's go!

*Marqus gets up & starts walking!*

Meika: Marqus WAIT!!

Marqus: We're not together. You don't have to keep explaining it to me! I get it.

Meika: Marqus, I'm not here to argue anymore. I'm not mad that you found another girl.

Marqus: What do you mean "You're not mad!" You shouldn't be! YOU didn't want to be with ME! The same reason why you got a boyfriend... that's why I found another girl. I see what breaks consists of now.

Meika: Woah! I wasn't the only one who met someone else.

Marqus: Okay! Like I expected you to call me back the next day & say you want to get back together? Yeah alright!

Meika: Marqus please! Let's not! I love you!! I missed you. I know! I'm the one who asked for the break, but I don't want it anymore. I didn't expect you to go out & find someone so quickly. I'm lying.. I did.. But to see you with her.. No! You're mine!

*Marqus leans in to kiss her. A crowd of about15 people stand around the two & say a loud "AWWWWW!!" They laugh in the middle of their kiss & walk up ahead!*

Marqus: Wow! I haven't felt a great kiss like that in so long.

Meika: So I guess Taneisha didn't kiss good?

Marqus: How would I know?

Meika: You kissed her.. Duh.

Marqus: Did you see us kiss?

Meika: What are you trying to say? That you didn't kiss her?

Marqus: That's exactly what I'm saying.

I'm not going to kiss someone while I'm still in love with someone else.

Meika: Awwwwww! I think we should call Jawan & Sa'Lie to come down here!

Hello?

Sa'Lie: What's Up!

Meika: I'm at the mall with Marqus! Y'all wanna...

Sa'Lie: Marqus who?

Marqus; Lmao! You silly! Marqus nigga!

Sa'Lie: Say no more! Jawan & I are actually already here at the mall! We're on level 3! What floor y'all on?

Meika: 2! Come through!

Sa'Lie: Aaight!
