I’ve been living with Chris for a month now and everything has been perfect. We haven’t had any drama with Aubrey or Karrueche and I couldn’t be happier. It was nice to have peace in my life for once. When I woke up this morning I was starving so I went into the kitchen to cook breakfast for me and Chris. I decided to make omelets for both of us but when I smelled the aroma of the eggs cooking in the pan my stomach growled loudly and I ended up making myself one huge omelet. I’ll just have to fix Chris some pancakes after I finish eating, I thought to myself. I sat down at the island and just as I took a bite of my omelet, Chris appeared in the doorway and asked “Save any for me?” My mouth was full of food and Chris laughed.

"I’m sorry. I was starving." I mumbled.

"I know. You’re always hungry." Chris said, looking in the refrigerator for something to eat. "Damn, I’m gonna be hungry too. There ain’t shit in here."

"There is food in there Chris."

"Milk and baking soda is not food."

"You’re over exaggerating." I said, walking over to him. I looked in the refrigerator and I saw that Chris was right. There was hardly anything in the fridge. There was yogurt and cheese but that wasn’t a meal.

"See. You’re trying to eat me out of my own house."

"Calm down Chris."

"Calm down? I’m starving. I think I’m gonna pass out." Chris said as he laid down on the kitchen floor and I busted out laughing. Why is he so crazy?

"Just go to the store."

"You go to the store." Chris said when he got up.

"Why me? This is your house."

"You ate all the food thats why."

"I’m going out with Mel today. You know we haven’t hung out in a while."

"Who said y’all can’t hang out at the grocery store?"

"Why would we do that?"

"The grocery store is fun. You can ride in the shopping cart, check out all the sales, oo and use coupons!"

"Are you serious?"

"Hell yeah! Coupons are the shit. Have you seen Extreme Couponing?"

"I’m not going to the store for you."

"I’m joking. I’ll ask Mama to come with me."

"You better."

"Where are you and Mel gonna go?

"We’re going to get our hair done."

"What color are you gonna dye your hair now?"

"I’m not dying it. I’m cutting it."

"No you're not."

"Why?"

"Because I won’t have anything to pull on when we…you know."

"You are so nasty!" I said, slapping him on his arm.

"That’s why you love me."

"I’m gonna go get dressed."

"Do you want anything from the store?"

"Umm yeah. I want chocolate, beef jerky, sun flower seeds, cookies-"

"Just text me the list."

"Okay." I said before I went upstairs. I don’t know why but for some reason I’ve been craving a bunch of weird stuff. I usually get like that before my period but it was never this extreme. I might go through hell when my period starts. I went into the closet and picked out an outfit before I got into the shower.
