Zonnique.
I walked back into the house after dropping Ariana off for school. She seemed more enthused about going today. Great. I dropped my purse on the kitchen counter and sighed deeply. I couldn't stop thinking about what Chris said to me. He says sometimes he wants to cheat on me. What type of shit is that? We've only been together for almost two months. He really hurt my feelings and honestly I don't even want to speak to him. Chris always says shit out of spite but it still hurts me. I dug in my purse and grabbed my phone before unlocking it.
921-445-3333: Hey Zonni ♥ it's Bahj.
I raised my eyebrow in confusion. I haven't spoken to her in awhile but gosh, I do miss my bestfriend.
Hey boo! I miss you :)
SENT.
Bahja: I know we aren't as close as we used to be but i'm doing better for myself now. Plus I know ur in LA, so we could hang out?
Sure thing! Starbucks @ 10?
SENT.
Bahja: See u there.
Finally. I need a break from all this bullshit right now. I headed upstairs to my bedroom which was empty. I have no idea where Chris is but whatever. I shrugged it off and grabbed something more casual to wear. I wore a cream colored sundress, nude sandals, and my matching shoulder bag. I did my hair in a high bun before heading back outside.

I walked to an empty table outside then sat down, waiting for Bahja. It felt amazing outside. The breeze was just right and the sun shined down on my skin. My face scrunched up hearing a flashing sound. I glanced across the street to see cameras flashing rapidly. Ugh. I turned my head then looked up to see Bahja walking towards me. She looked so different. Her long natural hair was pulled up in a pony tail and she had on gym attire. I stood up then hugged her before sitting back down.
"You look great!"
"Thanks, and you look fabulous" she complimented.
I smiled. "You're just leaving the gym huh?"
"Yes girl, sorry I'm late. I saw your friend there also"
"Who?"
"That girl Cat. She's super sweet" Bahja said removing her drifit jacket then hanging it on the chair.
I nodded slightly trying not to roll my eyes. Cat and I aren't speaking alot how we used to. I think she's still hurt about everything that happened. This is why I hardly have friends. They all distance themselves eventually and it sucks. First Brooke, then Cameron, Ray, ans now Cat. The waiter came over and took our orders then took them back inside.
"You live out here now?" I asked.
"Yeah with my boyfriend Trevor. I'm not used to this Cali life at all man"
"Aw you'll love it though. I'm glad you're out here so we can catch up and whatever"
She laughed. "For sure!"
The waiter walked back over and sat our things back on the table. "Here you are ladies, enjoy" he winked and left causing us to laugh.
"Enjoy" Bahja mimicked him in a deep voice before twitching her eyes.
I busted out in laughter holding my stomach. "He was trying too hard seriously"
"Exactly like nigga bye" she scoffed and sipped from her mocha cappuccino.
