Khalib

I let out a sigh as I wiped the sweat off my face,another bad dream I've been having these dreams every since I was ten I don't know why and they've caused me not to be able to sleep at night.

I clicked the home button on my phone to check the time,4:30am showed in bold numbers I let out a sigh and laid my head back down.

Using some old methods I tried to fall back into my comfortable slumber nothing fucking worked I even counted them damn sheep's giving up,I threw the covers off of my naked inked body my mother fussed at me every time I got a new tattoo and when I got my face inked she really had a fit.

"damn" I swore as I stared at my reflection in my bathroom mirror.

My beard was getting out of control I needed a good trim I could hear my moms mouth now.

K! I told you about that damn beard of yours! I'll be damned if my son walks around here looking like a cave man!

I smirked,yea that's defiantly something my mother Scar would say.

My phone rung making my nightstand vibrate I licked my lips and exited out of the bathroom to grab it.

I slid my finger across the screen answering it.

"Speak" I positioned the phone with my shoulder and grabbed some shorts slipping them on.

"why must you answer the phone like that?! now what if I was your mama?"

I shrugged as if she could see me,"oh well,what's up?"

She sighed,"can you please come pick me up?"

This was an every week thing with Monica she'd go out with her irresponsible friends and they'll leave her stranded after they spend her money.

"Mon man I done told you about them chicken neck bitches you be hanging 'round with everybody ain't yo friend"

"I know I know you tell me this all the time"

"well use that shit to your knowledge,text me your location I'm on the way"

I hung up the phone and threw on a shirt and slipped my feet into my Gucci slides.

I lived in a two bedroom condo wasn't that big but it was good enough to me,now don't get me wrong I had plenty of enough money saved up and from what my sperm donor left me before he got locked up but why waste it on a big ass house when I'm by my lonely.

After typing Monica's location into my gps I was speeding down the empty street.

I pulled up to an apartment complex where I spotted Monica sitting on a staircase.

she grabbed her purse and shoes and made her way to the car throwing her stuff in the back and hopping in.

"thanks a million"

I nodded pulling out.

"what you doing over here?"

"at the club tonya met this dude and of course we rode together and this is where ol dude lives and he was my only way home but he decided to stop by his house first to get some nookie form tonya and-"

I laughed "aight baby girl I get it"

she smiled "okay good oh guess what!"

"what's up?"I pulled over to the twenty four hour gas station to grab me some snacks.

"I said guess Khalib!"

"na I'm not playing no guessing game so what's up?"

She rolled her eyes and grabbed her wallet getting out of the car.

"My favorite cousin is moving up here"

I raised my eyebrow grabbing a strawberry fuse tea,"oh word that's what's up"

after grabbing everything I wanted I made my way to the counter to pay for our things I snatched Monica's things outta her hand and placed them on the counter.

"your mom called me yesterday"

When my mom and Monica talked it was mainly about me and none of it was ever good.

"and what did you two talk about?"I held the door open for her and walked out afterwards.

"about you,why haven't you been expecting any of your fathers calls?! or answering any of his letters?"

shit was pretty simple,my father was dead to me.
