Thin Line Between Love & Hate

Chapter 7 : Roomies / Doing Me

Sydnee

It Had Been A Few Days Since I Had Not Talked To My Father . Toya Thought It Would Be A Good Idea If I Stayed With Her At Least Until I Found An Apartment That Was Affordable For Me To Pay Monthly Along With Everything Else I Had On My Plate .

He Had Called Me Numerous Of Times The Day I Packed All My Things And Was Headed Out The Door . I Didn't Want Him To Be Apart Of What I Had Going On & I Damn Sholl Wasn't Going To Let Him Control Me Like This .

I Ended Up Upgrading My Plan And Got Me A Whole New Phone Along With A New Number Because There's No Telling What Type Of Tracking Device Or Whatever My Father Had Put On My Old Device .

Toya And I Ended Up Getting Out To Go To The Grocery Store To Get A Few Groceries For What We Were Cooking Tonight . We Parted Seperate Ways As We Went To Different Aisles Quickly Trying To Grab Everything And Head Out .

I Reached Aisle Nine And Scanned The Shelfs For The Bag Of Potatoes We Needed . I Noticed It Was At The Very Top And I Wasn't Gone Be Able To Reach It . I Looked Around And Noticed I Was The Only One On This Aisle. Looking For Help I Stopped Dead In My Tracks Noticing DeMarcus With His Little Uniform On . It's Like Everywhere I Go He's There .. I'm Not Sure If He's Stalking Me And Trying To Prove A Point But I Couldn't Lie It Didn't Bother Me One Bit .

" Need Some Help ? " He Smirked While Going To The Bag Of Potatoes I Was At .

" Maybe , Maybe Not . " I Shrugged.

" Maybe ? You Must Don't Want This Bag Of Potatoes Then . " He Shrugged & Began To Walk Off .

" NO , Okay Okay I Really Need That . " I Pointed Towards The Bag Of Potatoes In His Hand .

" You Can Get It , Under One Condition. " He Replied .

" And What Might That Be ?" I Moved Closer Towards Him Daring Him To Say The Wrong Thing .

" Let Me Take You Out On A Date . "

I Sighed " When ? "

" Friday Night , I'll Pick You Up . " He Said Flashing His Pearly Whites .

" Wellllllll , If I Say Yes Will I Get My Potatoes?" I Smiled From Ear To Ear .

Rolling His Eyes " Damn So You Only Gone Say Yes If I Give You What You Want?"

" Naaa , I Can't Deny An Opportunity Of Free Food When I Receive One . "

DeMarcus Chuckled , He Thought That Was Really Funny But I Was So Serious .. Who Would Pass Up A n Opportunity To Miss Free Food . I Mean Come On Im Not Paying So Why Not !?

" I Don't Want You Saying Yes Just To Get This Bag Though . " He
