"if there is anything else i can help you with, don't be afraid to let me know." i offered to the woman on the other end of the phone line.
hanging up and putting my glasses on, i continued working on my computer. i have a few things to get done before i can get out of here.
i love my job as stressful and strenuous as it can be. i was forced to grow up at an early age based on situation and after having endured what i had, i vowed to myself that i would do my best to choose a profession that would help prevent hate crime.
after finishing up my work, i checked some emails and decided to call it a day. gathering my things and shutting my office completely, i glanced at my watch realizing it was 6 and odell would be done with weight training in about an hour i opted to go home and cook.
"go home gabby, you need rest just like the rest of us." i egged on to my assistant. she works her ass off for me and not a day goes by where i don't thank her for the hard efforts.
"yes ma'am." she smiled back. waving good bye, i walked to my car and started my way to market street to pick up items for dinner. i think chicken alfredo with shrimp sounds appetizing.
halfway through my phone rang indicating an incoming facetime call from odell. i answered while finding the correct alfredo sauce.
"where are you?" he asked immediately.
"the grocery store, i needed to pick some stuff up for dinner" i informed. deciding on bertoli, i picked two jars up and placed them into the basket.
"what's for dinner?" he questioned.
"chicken and shrimp alfredo" i replied
"WOOO YOU FINA HOOK IT UP" he screamed, causing people to look at me all kinds of crazy. i laughed while simultaneously turning the volume down.
"did you want to have dinner at mine or yours?" i questioned
"mine, i left the facility already without showering" he answered
"gross, but ok i'll be there in about 30-40 minutes." i replied.
"that's too long i'm ready to see you now" he complained, like he always does.
"that's too bad, see you soon" i say, waving to the screen.
"give me a butterfly kiss" he says, cheesing hard as hell.
"hell no" i shortly state. him and these damn butterfly kisses. now he wants me, a grown ass woman, to butterfly kiss him via facetime? he's too much.
"ight, if you don't im not showing you any type of attention today." he threatens. hm.. i'm conflicted
"you're so annoying, fine." i give in, putting the phone close to my nose and moving my head side to side.
"thank you mamas! see you" he says feeling accomplished, then hangs up.
wtf type of relationship am i in.

I was sitting indian style on odell's bed after just having showered, in a big tshirt i "borrowed" from him and a hair towel. Right beside me laid odell watching some dancing videos on his phone. I was scrolling threw some news articles listening to some old musiq soulchild (MY SHIT)
"P." odell called, locking his phone and setting it down. His tone seemed serious.
"what's up?" i questioned, giving him my undivided attention.
"can we talk for a second?" he furthered, he was stalling.
"what's up?" i repeated. i hate when things get serious.
