Who Can I Run To

Can i talk to you

Around three Monica decided to take her lunch break, but she really wasn’t hungry everything was weighing heavy on her.  There was a company park around the corner she decided to take a seat on the bench. Flash backs of last night begin to hit her, when she touched her neck she couldn’t hold back anymore and the tears begin to flow.

“Excuse me, are you okay” came a deep voice, Monica wiped her face and looked up into the Grey eyes of Devon

“Devon …” Monica managed to let out through the tears

“Monica …. What’s wrong” Devon said taking a seat by her

“Just one of them days” She said looking down and trying to clear her face, she did not need him seeing her like this

“I understand, I just came from seeing my mother I think we are going to have to take her off life support…. I wanted to cry but I rather be strong for her” Devon said placing his arm around Monica

“That’s why you’re up here so much, I’m sorry about your mom though” Monica said her tears were gone and she was looking a Devon clearly now

“It’s alright, she lived a good life , so when are you going to let me take you out”

“I knew you would ask sooner or later, so how about this Friday night if you find me we can call that a date” Monica chuckled

“That shouldn’t be hard, unless you hiding in your house” Devon smirked

“Well no ill play fair” Monica smiled

“I like that”

“like what”

“when you smile”

Monica became speechless at the comment, looking at her phone she had 5min left, she needed to start heading back to the hospital. Saying goodbye to Devon she started walking back towards the building.

“Wait up” Devon called out, running up to Monica

“What are you doing, I have to get back to work” Monica said

“I just wanted to walk you in at least, I was enjoying us talking”

“Okay fine with me, so how old are you Devon”

“25, I work as a defensive attorney”

“well im 23 and as you see im a nurse”

“you have a baby face” he chuckled

“well I was born with it” Monica smiled

“im the only child, grew up in south park” Devon said, he looked over at Monica she was just right for him, she was shorter than him thick in all the right places, her beautiful brown eyes and juicy lips

“oh okay, I’m  from the north side of Houston”  Monica said

They came to the entrance of the hospital and Devon hugged her goodbye before walking off. Monica walked to clock back in, then she headed to the top floor to help out and do what she needed.

Jordan turned his truck into the apartments; he was coming back from his friend’s house. He walked into the apartment , he noticed the card on the floor he shook his head in disbelief  he had lost it last night he would be lucky if Monica even talked to him. He had to make things right he loved her more than anything in this world. He had an interview tomorrow, if everything goes well he would be back on top. Picking up the card and roses he placed them all into the bedroom and decided to call his mother.

“Boy have you lost your damn mind, I know me and your grandmother raised you better than that” Ms. Smith voice came through the phone Jordan had just told her about last night

“I know mama I know, I messed up big time I just don’t know what to do”

“If its mean to be she will forgive you, until then you need to get yourself together”

“Alright mama, ima cook her something ill call you later” Jordan said getting up from the couch

“I love you son, make it right “Ms. Smith said before ending the call

Jordan headed into the kitchen, pulling out some steaks he begin to cook and fix up the apartment looking at the clock Monica should be heading home any minute and he missed her like crazy.

Monica clocked out and headed to her sisters apartment. When she arrived her sister handed her a drink and took her bags in for her, they both sat in the living room drinking the drinks and talking. Monica phone had went off eight times in the past ten minutes but it was only Jordan.

“Girl keep ignoring his ass” Her sister said raising her drink in the air

“Whit you’re so silly, but I just wonder why he calling so much” Monica said placing her phone face down on the coffee table and finishing her daiquiri

“Because, he know you upset and he miss his baby” Whitney laughed

“I just never seen this coming “Monica said shaking her head

“Look Mo, its girl night out time to turn up and forget about his bullshit”

“You right, I can’t wait to head out tomorrow night”

“You, girl me ! I need to find a man”

“I just want to enjoy myself”

“I completely understand, well girl I have to work the night shift my house is yours so lock up , clean up and enjoy” Whitney said getting up from the couch to go get ready

“Alright sis” Monica said
