ERICA
I woke up to an empty bed. I grabbed my phone off the nightstand and saw it was only 3pm. I got out of bed to look for Cyn and saw the bathroom light on. For this to be a hotel room it was pretty big. I put my ear to the door and heard Cyn crying. I hate to see her like this. It pissed me off more than anything but i can't really say much because I've made her feel like this once before too. Ray is a dumb ass for walking out on her like he did. He has a right to be mad because she did lie to him about us being friends but that's all it is. I feel like this is half my fault too. If i would have just left her alone she wouldn't be in the bathroom crying her eyes out.
I knocked on the door "Cyn are you okay?" I didn't get an answer so i knocked again. "Cyn i know your in there let me in." Still nothing. "Alright i'm gonna give you to the count of three then i'm calling King..One....Two...Thre..." And just like that she opened the door. "I knew that would get you. Come back to bed." She came out the bathroom and i could tell she was trying to hide her face.. She laid down on the bed and faced the wall. I sat next to her and she put a pillow over her head. I poked her side "Why wont you look at me?" She moved the pillow from her face but still faced the wall "Because i don't want you to see me like this" I rolled her over towards me and grabbed her face "Hey look at me, even with your face a mess and your hair all over the place you are still beautiful to me. I used to wake up to you every morning i know what your ugly face looks like." She rolled her eyes and laughed "Only you could compliment and insult me in the same sentence Erica" I gave her a cheesy smile "That's what i'm here for."
I waited for her to fall back asleep and decided to go to my house pick up some clothes and check on my mom and King. I didn't really give my mom much of an explanation on why i left this morning, just that i had to help a friend. When I walked into the house i heard my mom yelling at King to flush the toilet. "KING! Why aren't you flushing the toilet! You know better than that!" He ran down the stairs and tackled me for a hug "Where were you this morning mommy, i missed you" I kissed his cheek "Papi i had to help Cyn out this morning. I came to get clothes then i'm going back to her hotel" His eyes lit up when i said Cyn's name "Oooh can i come with you? I'm not mad at her anymore." "King i'm not sure. Cyn isn't feeling well right now. How about i ask her if you can come over tomorrow and if she says yes then i will come back and pick you up sound like a deal?" He shook his head "Oh and mommy by the way, i didn't flush the toilet because i knew grandma would get mad, i think it's funny when she yells" He went running up the stairs. I talked to ma and filled her everything that has been going on. She wasn't very happy for me when i told her about Cyn because she know's what i put her through and especially since King is involved. But this time i plan on her sticking around for good, even if it just as friends. We said our good byes and i made my way back to Cyn's hotel.
I unlocked the door and all of the lights were still off. When i walked into the bedroom i saw she was sprawled out across the bed, mouth wide open and snoring. Some things never change. I set my stuff down on the floor and as soon as i went to lay down she rolled over with her eyes wide open "Hi" She looked like something out of a scary movie the way her face was but i didn't tell her that "Hey beautiful how you feeling?" She smiled "I'm hungry can we get something to eat?" This girl was always hungry no "Of course we can, i have the perfect place in mind. But you can't go dressed like that. Get yourself fixed up and we will head out" She jumped out of bed so fast and ran to the bathroom. I took that time to fix my hair and change into a better outfit. An hour passed and Cyn yelled my name from the bathroom "Erica! Can you bring me my black suit case please? I got so excited about food that i forgot my clothes" I grabbed her suitcase and knocked to let her know it was by the door. My phone pinged with a text message from Mya and i instantly smiled. It was a picture of her at the gym letting me know she was thinking about me. I was so caught up in the picture that i didn't notice Cyn standing in front of me "Am i interrupting something?" She looked mad but i just brushed it off and took a selfie and sent it back to Mya. She rolled her eyes and started to do her hair and makeup. An hour passed and Cyn still wasn't talking to me but she was finally ready for us to go. The drive there was silent and i wasn't going to speak to her until she was ready to talk about whatever she was mad about. I parked the car and while she was checking her hair and make up i went over to her side and opened the car door for her. She continued to ignore me so i slammed her door shut and got back in the car. "Whats your deal Cynthia?" Silence. This girl really thinks i'm playing with her. "Alright well i guess we will just sit here and starve until you decide you want to talk" I knew she wouldn't last long "Fine! I'm jealous..." I was not expecting that to come out of her mouth "What do you mean your jealous?" "Just drop it Erica. I told you what was wrong, I'm over it. Can we go eat now?" I was stuck on what she just said but i'll let it go for now. "Yes lets go" I brought her to a low key Italian restaurant, somewhere where I know we wouldn't be bothered and the food is good as hell. I asked the waiter to sit us in the back so it would be a more intimate setting and i can talk to her about her little attitude from earlier. As we were walking to the back Mya jumped up from a table. If looks could kill, Mya and I would both be dead. I was speechless. Cyn, Mya and the waiter were all staring at me. I didn't know what i was supposed to do and then Cyn introduced herself to Mya and invited her to have dinner with us. Mya accepted the invitation and followed the waiter. Before Cyn turned around to follow her she pulled me by hand "we will have a talk later after our date with your little girlfriend" she kissed me on the cheek, smiled at me and turned around to walk to our table. She is to calm for what just went down but i know i won't be so lucky when we are alone. I took a deep breath, prayed and mentally prepared myself for this dinner.
