I sit in the dark room hearing my heart monitor bleep. After five days in this bitch I'm ready to go. The last two days have been burry. They been keeping me doped up to run different tests. Everything seems to be fine and they don't have an explanation. I do remember Lauren sharing the news of Jimere being out.
Sighing to myself my mind wanders all over the place.
Interrupting my thoughts, my phone begins to vibrate against my side. "Hello?" I answer seeing that it's Cacey. Why is she calling me so damn early. "Hellloooo..."
"I've been calling both of y'all since Thursday. Did you forgot you have jobs or something?" God she annoys me so bad! "Girl it's 6 in the morning don't call my shit talking to me like that. We employed you hoe not the other way round."
"Lo who are you talking too?" Lauren mumbles. "Cacey ass and you better get her before I leave out this hospital and go find her."
"Calm down." Lauren says then grabs the phone. She talks to her. "Alright London should be getting released soon and we'll be ready for Fashion Week next weekend.... alright... bye." Lauren hangs up and hands me back the phone.
"Lo, I think you need to go back to those classes."
"Classes for what?" I question. "Anger management classes Lo."
"My anger is under control Lauren."
"So what's leading you to drink like it's no tomorrow?"
I roll my eyes, "I just do but once I'm out of here I'm not going to drink as much as before."
"London you've said that before and look what happen. I just don't want anything bad to happen to you." Lauren says. I know she can sense it's more to the story but I'm not ready to share that news with her. It would crush her world especially with Jimere being out now.
"I know Lauren. I'm going to do better I promise... Happy Jimere is back?"
"Um Lo it's something I need to tell you." Her phone starts to ring. "Hello?.... Okay. I'll be there.."
"Jimere?" I question. She nods her head getting up. "Later then Ren."
"I'll be back later on to pick you up."
"Sure."
She leaves out. I look at my phone and see a text from Ant.
Ant: Lo.:
:Yes?:
Ant: I miss you.:
:You wouldn't if you came to see me.:
Ant: Tied up with work at the moment wish I could.:
:Uhm mhm. I guess you're done being mad at me?:
Ant: Nah I was more disappointed than mad but we good long as you don't do that shit again. You mad at me?:
:Why would I be mad at you? And that's not going to happen again I promise.:
Ant: just asking... we all good bae?:
:Bae? Hm. When did I agree to be called that?:
Ant: You was drunk.:
I laugh knowing he's lying. :Bye Ant get to work.:
Ant: Later Lo.:
I drift off to sleep after sitting the phone done.
"Anthony put me down!" I laugh and giggle as he carried me to the sofa. "You play too much."
"That's you thought this shit was a game girl. Fuck no."
"You still weak." I tease. "Weak? Never." He starts kissing on my neck then moves to my lips. His tongue explores mine. His cologne invades my nostrils. A low moan escapes from my mouth. "Who's weak now?" He whispers.
This boy is about to have me naked on this table waiting for him to eat like it's last meal. "Ant..." I manage to say, almost breathless. "Lo..."
"Take me there."
"London." I come to and see Lauren in front of me. "You can come home now."
I see I'm IV free and not a thing is attached to me. When did they do this? I get up and slowly make my way out of this place.
"They said you need to make sure you're staying hydrated and away from alcohol for a while."
"Maybe I can make Anthony my escape. Ren I was having the best dream of my life." I gush telling her the short lived dream.
Her expression changed to almost sad looking. "Okay that was supposed to be a damn bitch moment but your face says otherwise."
"Lo it's something I need to tell you about August and Anthony." My heart drops, "Did some happen?.. Oh my God Lauren what is it?"
"They work for Mere."
"Say what?"
"August was over my place and Jimere walked in. He told him thank you for watching over his girls."
"What the fuck?!?"
"I know." She says looking as if she wants to burst in tears, "That's not everything though-"
"I know that's not Anthony car."I say cutting her off as we pull into my complex.
"It is."
I roll my eyes, "Thanks for ride Lauren. Hit me later."
"Okay."
I walk up to my door and unlock it. "Maybe that wasn't him." I mumble walking inside.
I walk inside my bedroom. "Gotcha London." My heart almost comes out my chest. "You scared me!"
He laughs his ass off. "Welcome home."
"Welcome home my ass. Get out." I say escorting him to the door.
"C'mon London. It was a lil joke." God he is so fine but a fucking snake too. Only messing round with me because of shit with Jimere. Fuck him.
"I guess that's what this whole thing was." I mumble slamming my door. I can't believe him. I opened up to him, told him shit I never told Lauren. I trusted him. He got on my last nerves but I loved his company. Ou that fine ass cocky bastard.
Lauren name comes across my phone. "You straight?" She asks as soon as I pick up. "Yeah. Feelings hurt but I'll be fine per usual."
"Call me if you need anything."
"Sure Ren."
"I'm serious London."
"I know. I will. Later."
"Oh Lo if you're up to it Cacey booked us a shoot for next week."
"I should be. I'll do it."
"Cool. I love you Lo."
"I love you too Lauren."
