Deep Blue

Chapter Three

The sun rays peered through my crusted eyes. The odor of blueberry waffles, bacon, and eggs immediately filled my nose. I arose quickly, feeling my stomach practically growling for food. I walked into the bathroom and the smell of fresh olay body soap was still in the air. I laughed to myself. Effrin loves bathing with girl soap every morning. I think smelling fresh is a huge turn on; its better than that irratating men's axe odor. The smell is too strong for my nose to inhale.

I push my thoughts aside and washed my face and brushed my teeth with the spare toothbrush I always left at Effrin's. I rolled my eyes just thinking about his name. His act from last night still didn't wear-off. Even though he thinks he can persuade me by cooking my favorite breakfast, I wasn't that easy to gain back.

I turned off the lights and went towards his closet. I went toward the back where I kept a little bit of my clothes. His place was technically mines also. This was more like home than any place I ever been. I always felt peaceful and relaxed when I stayed here.

I took out a high waist shorts, my black fishnet stockings, cropped Religion Heart sweater, my black combat boots and my ''Icon'' beanie. I wasn't a fashion forward person but I think I dress presentable I guess. I took a quick shower before throwing my clothes on.

As I walked downstairs I texted Jasmine making sure she is alright before I come back to our "home." I think I'm going to send her to our grandmother's for awhile until I get on my feet to find what I'm going to do concerning our housing arrangement.

I entered the kitchen and it was to my suprise it was not Effrin cooking; it was his mother. I gasped. Usually she rarely comes to Effrin condo since he moved out to be more independent. I missed her like crazy. It's been weeks sinced we talked. I quickly ran towards her.

'''Maaa'' I chimed as I hugged her tightly. She laughed and hugged me back.

''How you doing honey?'' She asked. I smiled. I loved how caring she always is. She more of a mother to me than anybody.

''I'm holding up with the grace of God'' I said as I sat on the tool.

''That's lovely to hear. What about you sister and your mom?'' She asked.

''Jas is fine, she's usually at granny's or with her friends house. My mom still being the low-life scrub she is'' I expained. She nodded before fixing plates. Mama M knows everything about my life and she understood completely. She offered a few times to keep Jasmine with her, which I allow of course. I might leave her with Effrin's mother instead of granny's. I felt more safe if she with Mama M.

''It smells delicious in here'' I rubbed my hands together anticpated for this breakfast. I tried changing the subject before I start wondering off into a deep hole of vital thoughts I didn't want to experience.

''You now I can break it down child, I know exactly how you like it. I put my foot in this one'' She exclaimed. I laughed. I adore Effrin's mother. She's always glowing, happy and outgoing. Her husband must be treating her good if you know what I mean.

''Effrin just wanted me to come by to make some breakfast before I head to the salon'' Mama M explained. My eyebrows frowned in confusion.

''Okay...'' I trailed off wondering why in the hell will send his mother here just to cook my favorite breakfast. I swear that boy is fruiter than a fruit cake. He's up to something, I feel it. Just then I heard the front door close. My head turned to the direction of the door.

''Ma, I put oil in the car. It should be running smoothly now'' Effrin said coming in the kitchen. I rolled my eyes, avoiding eye contact with the devil himself. Right now his face disturbs me along with his presence. Effrin walked past me with the same attitude. Bitch boy. Fuck nigga, Fucktard. I giggled as I called him names in my head. Stupid mother fucker.
