Take Care

Deux

-

I stretched out my legs as my eyes slowly popped open. The coolness of air hit my skin all at once.

The morning light trickled in through the blinds. I sat up, swung my feet off the bed and made my way into the bathroom.

How did I get here?

I brushed my teeth and stepped into the shower. It had been a minute since the last time, I felt at ease with steamy fog.

My mind was all over the place. So many things has transpired over the years that its kinda hard to adjust.

I was no longer that little girl anymore. Being locked up changed me in a sense. The old me had faded long ago.

I bathed my skin harshly, scratching every ounce of dirt that was on me. My shower had sped up once I heard a few voices.

I threw on some random gear and walked to where the noise was coming from. Bey was at the table digging a big hole into my cereal.

"Bruh .."

Bey smiled with all captain crunch shining in her mouth. Albee came over to give dap but I just stared at his hand then up at him.

"Why the fuck yall here?" I snatched my cereal box from her and grabbed a bowl.

"What? We can't come and see bout ah sista. Its been a minute since we seen yo white skin ass, just flaming up a moment. "

"A nig don't wanna be smother, who let yall in my joint anyway." I took a seat at the table.

"Bey fucked the receptionist and welp the dogs are out." He dangled the keys in the air.

"Ay catch!" He threw a box at me.

I caught it in mid-air and unwrapped
the paper around it. "Nigga!" I exclaimed.

"You ain't locked up in the cage no more, so no need for a block cellar duck .." He said.

I analyzed the smart phone, flipping it up
and around. I ain't neva seen no icy looking shit like this before.

"Ay! Watch it man, those iphones ain't cheap, break it and thats your ass." He warned me.

"Neither is tha glass, acting like a damn four year old kid and whatnot." Bey butted in.

"Go fuck yourself." I flicked her off. "Seriously what bring yall by, a bih wanted to spend her day watching Adventure Time."

"Nigga lets go get sum pussy or sum shit, fuck watching bitch ass shows .." Bey hyped.

Me and Albee looked at each then busted out laughing at her. "What? A bitch need another appetizer for that night."

"Nigga please!" Albee laughed. "Nicki be on yo ass like beans in a pot."

"Yeah, we don't need another shootout bey or you gettin' shot in tha ass again."

"Man fuck her!" She smacked her lips.

I chuckled.

Bey and Nicki were one of those high school sweethearts theory. Young and Dumb. They were glue to each other hip, night and day.
