Just the Beginning

Are You Kidding Me

Jordan

I was sitting in the studio with Big Rick and Garf. I was listening to this verse August had written for the track. They were bobbing their heads and rolling up. Big Rick stopped the song.

" That's hot " I said

" Right , so I just got to put his verse in and the song with be done. " He said

" Okay cool. " I said leaning back in my chair. I was still in thinking about what happened last week with Cleo. Every time I see her or talk to her its small talk. I don't know why she acting like that because we supposed to be best friends. That kiss was not supposed to mean anything. Well to her, to me it meant something.

" Jordan ! " Garf said. I snapped out my daze and looked at him.

" Been calling your name for the longest " he said taking a pull from the blunt.

" Sorry. I was thinking about umm " I said

" You was thinking about that little fine ass girl you call your best friend " he said shaking his head

" Yeah , nothing big though " I said getting up.

" Why you lying. Its big. "

I shook my head. I got out of my chair and put my jacket on and dapped them. I needed to get out. I walked to the parking lot and walked to my car. I saw Gina leaning on my car door.

" What ? " I said stopping

" Why you not answering my calls ? " she said.

" What ?! Bitch we not dating. Move "

She didn't move. I didn't want to touch her or anything. I waited patiently. I decided to lift her up and put her to the side. I got in my car and drove off. I drove home and opened my door. I decided to text Cleo.

" Cleo "

She didn't reply to my text.

" Cleo , can you talk to me ? "

She was not answering. It was only about 12 in the afternoon she was maybe getting Nyayla ready to go to her sister house. Ashanti didn't work because she was saving up to open up a Daycare since she got her teaching degree. I sat on my couch and turned on the TV. My favorite movie Seventeen Again with Tia and Tamera in it was on. I saw a commercial for Victoria Secret on and of course I saw Cleo.

I called that girl that I met at iHop , Alexia , to come over. She wasn't a bad person. She was beautiful and had a great sense of humor.

" Jordan ! Wassup ! " she hollered

" Hey Lexi, you trying to come through ? or Nah ? " I said

" Um... yeah. Give me like 30 minutes. I got to bathe first. Feel me ? " she said

I laughed " Ight.. hurry and wash your stink butt "

" It smell good ! Smell like roses " she said. I laughed and told her goodbye. I got off the couch and jumped in the shower. I washed my body and stepped out. My hair was all puffy from the steam. I wiped the mirror and brushed my teeth. After I finished I dried off and put on my Burberry boxers with my basketball short and a white beater. I texted her my address and went in the kitchen. I opened the fridge and saw nothing really to eat. I looked at my phone hoping Cleo would reply but she didn't. I threw my phone on the couch.

I heard a knock on my door and I saw Alexia standing with bags in her hand. I helped her in and set the bags on the table. I looked at her and saw she had on sweats with some Jordan's and a sweater. Her was in a short little messy bun.
