The day Ray left to so called help Quita she didn't come back. I haven't seen her in three days.

My phone rung as I laid across the bed watching Maury. Ray's name popped up on my screen, I took my time answering it. "Yes?" "What you doing baby?" I sat up on the bed with my legs crossed. "Watching TV. What you want?" She took a deep breath. "Get up, put some clothes on. Lets go eat." "Okay." We hung up and I jumped up to go through my closet.

Im pissed at Ray but Im not turning down free food. She think she slick, she know food make me happy. But she not off the hook, Ill chew her ass later

I was good on my own, that's the way it was, that's the way it was
You was good on the low for a faded fuck, on some faded love
Shit, what the fuck you complaining for?
Feeling jaded huh?
Used to trip off that shit I was kickin' to you
Had some fun on the run though I give it to you
But baby, don't get it twisted
You was just another nigga on the hit list
Tryna fix your inner issues with a bad bitch
Didn't they tell you that I was a savage

Rihanna x Needed Me played through my speakers as I vibed and washed in the shower. Its just something about this song that puts me in a mellow mood.

I been frustrated out my mind these past few days knowing where Ray been. Its like everything I knew was gone happen done happened. Now Im the fool cause I fell for the bullshit she told me. Everybody know Quita and Ray not done. So what the hell made me believe it? I guess the bullshit stories of how Im different and how she been wanting me since she started hanging with Quan. Bullshit, bullshit, and more bullshit.

After I got out the shower I sprayed myself in my favorite perfume,the one Ray loves for me to wear

After I got out the shower I sprayed myself in my favorite perfume,the one Ray loves for me to wear. I got dressed in my burgundy pants, matching floral top, my chocolate knee high boots, with my shit green jacket and my matching purse. As I checked myself out in the mirror my phone rung.

Without checking who was calling I answered. "Hello?" "What up lil mama?" My heart dropped at the sound of my ex voice. "Um, who this?" She chuckled that deep laugh. "Come on na lil bit. I know you know who this is. Its LaTara." "How you get my number Tara?" "That's not important. I live in Columbia now. You still in Greenville?" I noticed Ray pulling up out the window. "Yeah Im still here. Let me get back with you." I quickly hung up.

Ray called as I made my way down to the car. She stood by the hood with a bouquet of beautiful flowers. "You look beautiful." She handed me the flowers. "Thank you." She opened my door and waited for me to get in before shutting it. I hope she know this gentlemen, gentlestud shit not gone work. Can't nun make up for her leaving me for days to be with her ex.

We pulled up at Bubba Gumps Shrimp Co., best seafood in Charleston. After getting our table and ordering our food we sat in silence.

"What's ya problem?" I looked at Ray and rolled my eyes. "You want to know what I hate the most Ray?" She looked at me confused. "What?" "I hate when you do shit then got the nerve to act like you dont know what's wrong with me or what you done did. You got amnesia?" She shook her head. "Taj nun happen baby." I played with my straw in my drink. "But you been gone three damn days. Where you been? With Quita right?" She sat there quiet. "Nun happen Taj. I put that on everything." I slowly nodded my head. "So I got a voicemail on my phone of yall going at it for nun? Bitch calling you daddy and shit." The blank stare on Ray's face was priceless.

I dont got no voicemail on my phone but the look on her face told it all. I love Ray but Im not gone deal with the bullshit. Im not sharing no damn body. Im not stooping that low ever again.
