Zonnique
Two months had past since Zoey left and I was more than depressed. He hasn't answered one call, replied to any text or even flew out to see me. I've even asked Alana and she says she hasn't seen him since he first came to L.A. I'm so worried right now. So many thoughts are racing through my head right now. I hope everything is okay and he just needs time alone or something. Now its December and I'm out Christmas shopping with Romero, along with his friends, Bahja and Jacques. Although my mind is on Zoe I have more shit to be worried about. Mostly my sister. I'm going to make sure she has the best holiday ever even if it kills me.
"You're awfully quiet today." Romero says looking over at me.
"Just going through a lot. You wouldn't understand honestly." Sadly I replied, looking through racks of clothes.
"Zonnique I've known you forever now. You can tell me anything."
"Well its about Zoey."
He raised an eyebrow. "What'd he do?"
"Nobody has seen him in almost two months now. I'm so paranoid right now Ro. What if something happened to him?" I asked frantically throwing stuff in the cart. "I will fuck somebody up!"
"Calm down Nique damn. Maybe he's busy or whatever."
I snapped my neck towards him. "No. Whether Zoey is busy or not, he always calls every day before he goes out and afterwards. Something is up."
"Your boyfriend, your problems." Romero grumbled looking down at his phone.
I kissed my teeth. "Aren't you the least bit concerned?"
"Honestly no."
My mouth dropped but I quickly shut it. "Wow Ro. Are you still mad about me dating him-"
"First off I was never mad. I'm pissed off how you were all over me one minute, then soon as that nigga give you some bullshit apology you all on his dick. Damn Zonnique, Zoey got you hooked like a fucking fish." He ranted in an irritated tone. "Its funny how I messed up one time and you just drop me. But Zoey has done farther more shit and he still gets a pass. That's fucked up." With that he walked out of the store, shaking his head.
Wow. Romero needs to get off his man period and chill out. Bad enough I'm already stressing. Now he's just adding to my stress. He was right I do give Zoey passes but I love him. He loves me. I do love Romero but he's not what I want right now. Honestly I feel bad for leading him on but its only because I needed affection. Sounds selfish I know but that's how the cookie crumbles sometimes. I finished shopping for Kami's clothes and shoes, not it was time for toys.
As I walked through the aisles I saw that girl Bahja picking up a few things. She was a really cool, down to earth type of girl. I knew she wasn't the pushover or innocent girl either. Sometimes we'd have small conversation but not anything major. She looked back and waved at me. I decided to walk up to her to say hi.
"Hey."
"Hey girl." She replied.
"Well...um.." I awkwardly rubbed my neck. Honestly I've never had a girl friend before. Because of my tomboyish ways, girls were always scared of me.
Bahja laughed. "Zonnique its cool, you don't have to try and be my friend. Romero told me you're isolated."
"I know but I don't wanna be like that. I don't want a lot of friends either, just a circle- shit maybe even a triangle."
She laughed again. "You're funny as hell but I feel ya."
"Yeah.."
"Do you even have girlfriends?"
