Inside Brooklyn

CHAPTER 77. SHOW ME WHO YOU REALLY ARE

I sat on the bench in front of the book store. "You are too sexy for me to not know you." A dark chocolate man who looked to be in his early 30's approached me. His hair was cut very low. He was wearing a polo shirt and shorts to match. I ignored the man. The man didn't give up. He came and sat next to me. I got beyond irritated. I hope he wasn't trying to shoot his shot. "So what's your name?" "I have a boyfriend!" I quickly shot back. "Well that's great , because i have a girlfriend." I rolled my eyes. "So why are you talking to me then?" The man laughed. "Dang i can't make friends?" "Go make friends with your girlfriend. "Me and my girlfriend trust each other. It's nothing wrong with giving someone a compliment."

"Me and my boyfriend trust each other too." "Well the reason i really came over here is because my girl birthday tomorrow and i don't know what to get her." "Word of advise you don't go looking for a gift the day before." The man chucked.  "Yeah , maybe that would be smart for next year." "So what do she like?" I asked. The man looked at the sky. "She loves to be pampered, But shes kinda a homebody. She rather be inside then out. Her favorite color is yellow. Her favorite fragrance is CHANEL number 5. She wear a size 6. She loves her clothes--" I cut him off before he could finish. "Well if she love being at home bring the spa to her. Decorate it as if she was going to the spa. And you said she likes yellow right?" "Yeah she love yellow." 

"Get some yellow rose pedals too. Then maybe you could top it off with a nice meal or a trip somewhere." The guy smiled. "Women always have the best ideas. Where's your boyfriend? If you don't mind me asking?" i hesitated before i answered his question. "My boyfriends at home, He's planning something for me so i can't go back home until 6." "Well you have a lucky boyfriend. I bet he spoils you." I smiled. "I guess you can say that." "Where do you guys stay?" The mans questions was starting to get annoying. "We stay in the Golden Towers." "No way, Me and my girl stay there too. What floor?" "I'm on the 16th floor." "I'm on the 11th. Its crazy how small the world can be at times. I guess we neighbors now." "In some way i guess we are." "Well I hope you too enjoy tonight. Thanks for all the help." The man said as he walked off.

I looked down at my watch and it was almost 4pm. I guess talking to that man took up a little time. I felt my phone vibrating in my back pocket. I answered the phone and it was Ta'jeah. "Wassup snake!" I spat. "Girl whats going on how am i a snake now?" Ta'jeah was playing dumb and i did not want to hear her bullshit. "Why did you fail to tell me that you was trying to push up on my Ex." Ta'jeah laughed into the phone.  "Trina this is not your world , You do not own anybody." "Your my best friend you would have never knew Q if it wasn't for me." 

"So what if i met him thru you. If Q wanted you back he would have you." "So that's what you do now go after peoples sloppy leftovers." Ta'jeah laughed once again. "T i'm just doing what you taught me through the years. Get the money no matter what. Not even if it's your nigga. Malachi could be calling next, It's not like he don't call me already." If this bitch really think i care about her fucking Malachi she is dumb. Maybe he can leave me the fuck alone then. I wasn't even so mad just in disbelief. 

"Ta'jeah you can keep my old raggedy broke leftovers. You got a Crackhead and a woman abuser have fun with that slut." I hung up the phone before she could reply. Wow , some type of best friend. I've known Ta'jeah almost all my life. I couldn't believe she would betray me like this. I guess that shows you that you can't trust anyone. I just knew I was right!
