Thin Line Between Love & Hate

Chapter4: Hot & Bothered

Sydnee

" Toya This Dress Is Shorter Than The One You Had Me Wear Saturday Night , Are You Crazy !?"

" Ughh Seriously Syd What The Fuck Do You Want To Buy ? The Same Old Clothes You Got In Your Closet Now ?" Toya Asked  As She Put The Mini Cocktail Dress Back On The Wrack .

Toya And I Had Been In The Mall For Atleast 3 Hours And Everything She Picked Up I Told Her I Couldn't Wear . It Was All Too Risky And I Didn't Want Anybody Else Going To My Dad About Me Dressing Like A Hooker .. That Would Just Cause Another Problem .

" Sydnee We've Been To 8 Stores And Out Of Those 8 Stores You Did Not Buy ONE Piece Of Clothing . " Toya Informed Me As She Tapped Her Fresh Manicured Nails Against The Checkout Desk .

" You Know Why I Didn't Get Anything . " I Rolled My Eyes .

" Yeah Because Big Daddy Brown Gone Say Some And Make You Change Yeah Yeah I Know . "

" Toya My Father Has Nothing To Do With My Clothing Decisions." I Huffed .

" Yes He Does Sydnee , & Thats What You Not Realizing. You're A Grown Ass Women Yet You Allow Him To Treat You Like Your 10 . " She Exclaimed As She Grabbed Her Bags And Rushed Out The Store .

She Was Right. I Was Allowing Him To Treat Me Like I Was 10 . I Was Never The One To Stand Up For Myself But I See It Had To Get To That Point . I Grabbed Toya's Arm As She Power Walked To The Food Court .

We Both Agreed To Chinese So We Made Our Way To Their Station .Once Toya & I Ordered We Sat At The Nearest Booth By Starbucks .Once We Started Eating I Seen The Same Group Of Girls That I Saw At The Club Lastnight Walk Up To Us .One Of The Girls I Noticed I'm Pretty Sure I'd Never Forget .. Maybell Winston .

Maybell & I Had Never Got Along . For Some Reason She Just Didn't Like Me , & For Some Reason I Just Didn't Understand Why . She Was Always Around My Father When I Was In Trouble & She Found It FUNNY .

" Well If It Isn't Miss Holy , But After What We Seen Lastnight Ion Think You So Holy After All . " Maybell Snickered As The Rest Of Her Fake Wannabe's Laughed With Her .

" Maybell I Suggest You Get The Hell Outta Her Face Unless You Want Me To Beat Your Ass ." Toya Snapped As She Stood Up Standing In Maybell's Face .

Soon As Toya Said That Maybell And Her Click Walked Off . I Looked At Toya But I Knew Better Because Toya Ass Was Crazy . I Appreciate Her Sticking Up For Me Though , That's Something I've Never Done For Myself . Toya Was Always Around At The Best Times .

" Toya You Didn't Have To Do That ." I Told Her As She Closed Her To Go Box Of Chinese Food .

" Girl If You Ain't Gone Stand Up For Yourself , Then Imma Do It . Why Do You Let Her Talk To You Like She Better Than You Anyways . " She Asked .

I Sighed " It's Not Even About That Toy , I Just Don't Wanna Start Any Problems ."

She Chuckled Out Of Now Where Once Silence Fell Over Us . I Looked At Her Funny & She Smiled . This Girl Had To Be On Something .
