Complicated love ( closed )

15.

The next morning:

I woke up with multiple texts from Joey. He wanted to come over again, but I completely ignored him. I got myself ready and headed to the salon.
••••••

"Get me all of the reports for this weeks work, how much money we made, what bills need to be paid, and put together a idea for next months special." I said to my assistant, as we wrote down everything I said.

The salon was full, customers were satisfied, the whole vibe felt amazing, and it kept my mind off of everything that was happening.

"Ms. Santana, there's a Mena on hold, waiting to speak with you."

My heart dropped, "alright tell her to hold on." , I ran to my office, closing the door behind me.

Answering the phone, I felt butterflies in my stomach. "Hello?"

"Look I know you're mad at me, but I don't want to lose you.. Please come back, whatever you want, you can have. I'll cut off whoever, I just want my baby back."

I sighed, "Erica... How do I know that you're not going to hurt me again?

"Because I know what I want, and that's you. I don't want to mess this up again."

"I'm giving you one more chance, just ONE. If you fuck this up, we're not getting back together, EVER again."

She shrieked, "YAY! Okay, you don't have to worry about me baby, I'm gonna be good this time And make everything right, this time."

"Whatever, I gotta go, I'll talk to you later." And then I hung up.

Walking out of my office, my assistant had all of the paperwork I asked her for, and I went over everything, making sure everything was running smoothly with the salon.

Later that night
Erica:

Cyn gave me another chance, and I was determined to do right by her this time. I don't ever try to intentionally hurt people, but most of the time when I'm trying to do good for myself, it always ends up hurting someone else. I just wanted a fresh start, and I want that with Cyn.
•••••••••••

Cyn was working all day today, so I decided to hit up my friend Tiara, to shop and gossip with her.

Driving to Tiaras house to pick her up, I blasted Wamables by, Nicki Minaj the whole way there I had it on repeat.  Stopping at a red light,
I rapped

"Bad bitches in the colleges, bust it open for me, gynecologist
But watch all your mileages, pussy miles go up if you're talented ."

Whining my hips in my car, with one hand on the steering wheel, and the other in the air, I was way too hype. I automatically stopped, once I saw the people in the car next to me, laughing at me. Feeling embarrassed, I sped off when the light turned green.

Pulling up to Tiaras house, she was already on the porch waiting for me.

"Heeeeeey Girl!" She shrieked, as she ran up to the car.

"Hey babe! I missed you." She got in the car, putting on her seat belt as I drove off.

"Girl this is MY SONG" she turned up my radio, replaying Wamables. I laughed as we both rapped along to the lyrics.

"Put your hand up, now it's time to make a pledge
You'll never catch me, in a lightskin nigga bed"

I chuckled at her getting extra hype to that part of the song.

"You throwing slugs to light skins now?" I smirked as she rolled her eyes at me.

"I'm not throwing slugs, but you know I loveeeeee me some chocolate." She licked her lips, and continued to dance in the seat.

"Chocolates sure are fine, but I got me a LightSkin chick, who's supa thick." I chuckled, because I knew I sounded corny.

"Girl bye. You need some chocolate in your life. A real thick chocolate Papi.... Well mami in your case, with a huge booty, curves, and a personality to be able to put up with your attitude."

I rolled my eyes at her, and she busted out laughing.

"For your info my LightSkin can put up with alllll of this Latina attitude. Matter of fact she's Latina too, so she can deal with me, and I can deal with her." I was smiling hard, just thinking about my Cynthia.

"You need to introduce me to this new girl, you sound a little sprung over this one, I've never seen you like this before." She looked at me, as I tried to hide my smile.

Pulling up to the mall, I parked my car in the parking garage. "You wanna meet her right now?".

Her eyes lit up. "Yessss, let me see your boo, I'm excited to meet her."

"Come on let's go, she owns a nail shop in here, you can meet her, and we'll shop after you do."

She smiled, and we walked inside the mall. Walking in the mall, I noticed a familiar face.

It was rich, and he wasn't by his self.... He was with some other chick, and she was all over him. I felt my blood begin to boil. I walked over to him, and tapped him on the shoulder.

"So this is what you replace me with?". His eyes grew.
