Charm

I stood in my Uncle and Aunt door frame while they lectured me about New York, I was talking them out of letting security tag along around me for a whole month.

"Ayana, security is going and that's all ima say. This is basically your first time being away from us and I don't trust it."

"Fine, so what about Dave? What happens to him?"

"What do you mean? He goes back to Harlem to hopefully start his business."

"Does it involve drugs?" I looked down at my feet cause I hated that was once what my family was.. some big drug cartel.

"No Yana, we've told you plenty of times. Were not involved in that anymore." My Aunt spoke up and I folded my arms.

"Okay, so exactly what part am I going to be in?"

"Tribeca."

"Never heard of that before. Is this legit?"

"What? Of course it's legit Ayana, I'm putting money into this because I know how bad you wanted it-"

"Yes before, I was what? 15 or 16!"

My Uncle's phone begin to ring and he got up going to the balcony to take the call. My Aunt squinted her eyes at me and I knew the bullshit was coming.

"Don't think I forgot about you and Dave's outting last night. It's all over blogs, he's kind of well known too you know?"

"Well I didn't know him before y'all brought him here, and it was just dinner."

"What about Quincy?"

I shrugged. "I haven't seen or talker to him in days."

"Girl, just end it with his gay ass. I mean seriously are you at least getting some?"

I shook my head at her and laughed beginning to exit the room. "Aunt K, you being too nosey."

"I'll know when you do! It'll change your life and make you become a different person!" She yelled to me as I was walking away and I just laughed at her. I passed Dave room and noticed the door open so I'm guessing he must've stepped out or went downstairs, who knows. He just comes and go anyway. I grabbed my phone off my bed and saw my media and messages were blowing up. I scrunched up my face when I begin to see Quincy name over and over and over, my heart begin to pond faster because I was hoping nothing had happened to him because like I said, I haven't talked to him in days.

Is Quincy with someone else?
Who is this mysterious lover!
Some say a guy?
Maybe a transgender!
Quincy spotted in Cancun with Atlanta stripper

"Piece of shit..." I talked to myself and continued to go through the blogs. I exited out of all the apps and went to my messages.

stupid bitch #1:BITCH I TOLD YOU!!!!!! HE FUCKING WITH A TRANSGENDER BITCH! HE GAY
stupid bitch #2: LMAOOO BITCCCCCH WHO ASS U WANNA BEAT FIRST? HIS OR HIS?! 😂😂😂😂

I wanted to throw my phone and run down the street to slash all 3 of his car tires, but the angel in me wasn't allowing it. I mean, transgender really? Im so fucking embarrassed right now, this move to New York is probably what I need just to get out this Miami shenanigans for awhile. I began to laugh and laugh and laugh until I cried. How can he do this? Its been 4 months, so.... what does that mean? Was it me first or whomever else. Did this just happen? Has he always been like this, does he even know? I needed answers, but this was my answer to leave his ass.
