Without You (Urban)

It was my last day of my last year in college and I was beyond excited. I was dressed to impress as always and everybody knew it. I was more excited that I was getting closer and closer to earning my degree in Nursing. Yup , Nurse Watson. That sounds nice. I put the finishing touches on my eye shadow and locked up my apartment. My first stop was to pick up my bestfriend Shay, then we would head to school. Push pause. My name is Rome, I'm 22, short with really long, black curly hair, and light skinned. A lot of people think I look like a thicker version of Selena, the singer. My boobs aren't all that big but they're a pretty nice size and I have a big butt(lol). A lot of girls my age and even women that are older than me hate on me or don't like me because of my looks. It's not my fault God blessed me! Anyways, I made the loop to Shay's apartment complex and called her to come outside. She practically ran to my car with a huge smile plastered across her face. "What the hell you smiling so big for," I say with a grin and pulling off. "How could I forget!" Todd worked offshore and he had moneyyyyyy. "Well what about him?" I ask, anxious for her to get the point of her being all giggly. "He asked me to move in with him! I thought I should ask you first since you always give the best advice. So what do you think?" she asked. Todd and Shay had been dating for almost two years now and I guess you could say she was in love. The only bad part was that Todd was a manwhore, the biggest among the Ques, his fraternity. Shay knew that Todd wasn't perfect, but she saw past all that. "Shay, you are grown and as my bestfriend I think you should wait and talk to Todd more about it because if he's gonna be cheating on you while you living with him it's gonna cause more problems." I only want the best for my bestfriend and sometimes her decision making skills aren't to sharp when it comes to big things. I just don't want her to wind up with a broken heart. "Yeah, I see what you mean and we did talk about it. He said he would work on it and try to make things right, " she said. "Are you trying to convince me or yourself Shay," I say as I pull into a parking spot at the university. Shay didn't respond she just brushed my question off and started texting. Damn, Shay was just so naive sometimes. Her looks were striking and she had a body of a goddess but her brain was tainted. Her smooth caramel skin and long brown hair made you think otherwise. I met Shay in Kindergarden and we've been close ever since plus our moms are bestfriend's, more like sisters. Everywhere I go, Shay is probably right around. Shay was a business major,

so she had to go into a different building than I. I was texting and walking to my only class for the day when I accidentally bumped into this tall guy. "I am so sorry," I gasped as I began helping him pick up his papers that flew out of his folder. "I'm actually in a rush and I-- ." I say while picking my head up. I couldn't even finish my sentence because it was as if I was looking at an angel. "Um, yeah I'm so sorry, I said again, losing my train of thought. This guy had my ass stunned. "Nah, it's cool ma, my fault I didn't see you walking as well. You blinded me with them big ass gold hoops in your ears," he said while laughing. "My hoops are on point, thank you very much Mr...?" Siah, that's what you can call me." Okay, Siah, I said half laughing. I have a class to get to and I'm really sorry about bumping you again." You good shawty, it was on me, but it was nice bumping into you ma. I nodded and walked off smiling in my head. Not only did he make fun of my earrings he was real handsome too. That milk chocolate skin, tall, nice clothes, and shoe game. Not to mention his beautiful smile. I thought to myself. Dude was hot. I entered the nursing building and when I walked to my classroom a note was posted on the door and it read "CLASS CANCELED, CHECK YOUR EMAIL FOR MORE DETAILS." Well ain't that a b-tch I say in my head. I decided to text Shay while I was walking back to my car.

Me: hey, my class is cancelled you want me to wait until yours is over?

Shay: Idk.

Me: You sure, you know I don't mind waiting. Plus I wanna find something to wear to the last day of school party.
