Nail Shop Conversation

*kenyanna's nails in the m/m*

Odell's POV:

"And that's what happened" I took deep breathe waiting for response.

"So you were a drug dealer for a month?" She said laughing

"Ken this is not funny. This dude is dangerous." She was so annoying.

"But it seemed like y'all left out on a good note. Why he came to the house going so hard?"

"Well soon as he got out of jail, he made a trip to New York. He came to my house talking bout some 'oh I'm out now nigga. Where my money at!?' And I'm like nigga what money? 'You said you had me when I get out. I need some money' and I'm like dude you made it all the way to New York to tell me you need money? Uhm take your lil skinny ass right back to Louisiana cause you ain't getting shit. Now was I wrong? Yes. Did I feel sorry for him? No. Cause who the fuck told him to waste, most likely, the last of his money on a ticket to New York. He knew for sure I was going to give him money."

"And now he need you again to do what?"

I took a deep breathe. "He got into some more trouble. And he wants me to be a witness saying he didn't rape some girl. But I didn't see it. So how am I going to testify for him?" I looked towards Ken. She had a different expression on her face. Like she just got the worse news of her life. I couldn't read her face. She just looked different.

Kenyanna's POV:

This man is a rapist. And I was going to have sex with him? I'm surprised he didn't just force me to do it, if you know what I mean. I got quiet after Odell told me that because I was still in shock. I never understood how someone can just take advantage of another persons body like that. Just force them to have sex with them. Ew. I was on the verge of crying.

"Hello!? Earth to Kenyanna" Odell waved his hand in front my face.

"Oh I'm sorry. Well did you talk to Lourie about helping him?"

"Nah. I never planned to. Let him suffer from that. He should've never done what he did." I totally agreed with what he just said, but I disagreed with him possibly killing O.

"Well what are you going to do?"

"Absolutely nothing. I'm just gonna do what I always do. Pray and have faith. Whatever happens is for a reason" he nodded.

Odell was always a big religious person. I guess he got that from Mother. It's like he lived life with no worries because he believed that God had him. I wish god had me.

The lady came over and started doing my nails, I decided to get them pink and let her freestyle on them. They were so beautiful. I started to cry.

"Uhm Ken what's wrong? Are they ugly?" Odell asked concerned. I started to laugh to myself.

"No. It's just that the pink reminded me of mother. I miss her so much o" I couldn't wipe my tears because my nails weren't dry yet.

"Hey hey hey. It's okay. She's still here. She's within you. She's within all of us. I get sad thinking about some times, then I realize that she's in a better place. Always remember that she is in a better place"

I nodded my head and hugged Odell. Once my nails were dry we made our way back home. I went directly to my room. I snapped a picture of my nails.

Caption: it's so🆙 tomorrow night. Be there or hear about it🗣

I locked my phone and went into my closet. I looked at my dress and smiled to myself. I was going to look so sexy tomorrow. I heard a knock on my window so I went to it already knowing it was Dominic.

"What." I asked with a blank face.

"That's how you greet somebody?" He said with an attitude.

"Fuck you. What do you want?"

"Damn Ken. Look I wanted to apologize for the other day. I didn't mean to hurt him. I was.... Not in my right mind" he said coming closer to me and putting his hands around my waist.

"What mind were you in then?"

"You know what I mean. Don't do that" he started to kiss on my neck.

"Get away from me" I pushed him hard. He laughed Evily.

"So now I can't touch you!? DAMN KEN! What the fuck you want me to do? I'm trying. I wanna be better for you."

"You wanna be better for a fat bitch? I didn't call you to supply pressure so what you want?" I asked tapping my foot.

"Wait. Where did you get that from?"

"Don't worry about that. I'm sorry that I'm not worth meeting your friends or being seen with in public. I'm sorry I'm not skinny like these other girls. I'm sorry that I'm a hoe. That's just who I am Dominic. You haven't changed. You haven't tried to." I walked towards the window and looked at it. "Let yourself out"

He went out the window.

I couldn't let him ruin my mood. My party was tomorrow, and I could not let this ruin my vibe. I had been happy all day thinking about tomorrow. I would NOT let this fool ruin it. All I could think about was tomorrow. But I had to get ready for bed because I had to wake up early for my hair and makeup appointment.
