Exchange || Bryson Tiller [ #Wattys2017 ]

XXXVI

Mariah.

I haven't spoken to Bryson in four days. Of course, I miss him but to get through my Bryson withdrawal, I've been listening to his music. It's pathetic, I know.

I don't know what to do...

And Bryson has been calling and texting me literally nonstop. And I've ignored all of them.

But the texts I received from him today really caught my attention.

I seen the four of them when I woke up this morning.

B-Bear 🐻❤️ : baby, you don't know how sorry I am. 7:37 am

B-Bear 🐻❤️ : I miss your chubby cheeks ass so much. 7:37 am

B-Bear 🐻❤️ : when you forgive me, imma show you off so much you gone get tired of it. 7:38 am

B-Bear 🐻❤️ : I gotta surprise for you, I hope you keep your ears open today. 😏 7:39 am

I can't even lie but a small smile did creep on my face when I read em.

His corny ass.

Right now I was going to pick up Micah since me and Bryson aren't talking. I've been picking Micah up and going home early to finish my work.

Honestly, I should've started this sooner.

I was listening to the radio on my way there and my eyes widened when I heard something that caught my attention.

"And now we're about to play the latest single called Exchange by one of R&B's hottest new artist, Bryson Tiller!"

My eyes widened as I immediately turned up the radio.

This can't be the surprise...

"This what happens when I think bout you,
I get in my feelings yeah,
I start reminiscing yeah,

Next time around,
Fuck I want it to be different yeah,
Waiting on a sign,
Guess it's time for a different prayer,

Lord please save her for me,
Do this one favor for me,
I had to change my players ways,
Got way too complicated for me,

I hope she's waiting for me,
Everywhere she go they playing my song,
That's why I say the things that I say that way I know you can't ignore me,

So give me all of you in exchange for me,
Just give me all of you in exchange for me,
For me..."

"I hate him..." I mumbled as I wiped the happy tears that rolled down my face.

When I parked in front of Micah's school I decided to finally text him back.
