I punched in the time as I clocked out from the facility I worked at, doing a long 10 hrs I was ready to go home and cook, I loved cooking shit I loved food so it was only right I knew how to throw down in the kitchen.
"Hey boo" one of my co workers Tamia said popping her gum, tamia was what you called nosey and two faced she talked about everybody at work, then be all in they face ahkeke'n so I wasn't no fool to know she be talking about me when I'm not around, only thing is there wasn't shit to talk about I did my work, stayed clear out these catty bitches way and went home, repeat and same cycle.
"What's up?" I said keeping It short and simple I was ready to go home and didn't have time to sit up and hear tamia talk about people.
"Girllll you know one of these CNA bitches love fuckin-" before she could finish I cut her off, I didn't have time to dilly dally around I wasn't in the mood.
"Tamia honestly I don't care what anyone else got going on I'm ready to get in my bed, I'll see you tomorrow" I said not giving her a chance to respond as I walked away, I knew she was feeling some type of way and I knew she'll go run and tell whoever about it drama ass bitch.

"Meow" my cat sunshine greeted me, I picked her up happy to see her giving her a kiss.
"Hi baby are you hungry?" She purred.
Putting her down I went to fix her some food, she dug right in.
"I guess so" I chuckled.
"Think I'll make me some seafood gumbo" I said to no one in particular.
All of a sudden I heard a loud thump on my door, now anybody know better than to play on my damn door I thought annoyed.
"Secretttttt" the voice called from outside my door, I rolled my eyes it was one of the church ladies that swore up and down she was psychic, she was sweet she was the only person I spoke to but she sometimes can be annoying.
I opened the door blocking the view from her seeing it, as nice as she appeared I didn't trust folks far enough to not second guess they'll rob your ass if they see you living nicer than them.
"Ms. Debra you don't have to be so loud , what's going on?" I asked
"The lord told me to tell you love will be coming to you soon" she said sounding crazy, most times I'll pretend and be interested but other times she talked nonsense.
"Ok Ms. Debra" I said really waiting for her to get on going.
"See.... that's the problem with you young adults y'all think we old folks don't know shit" she said frustrated, I looked at her shocked cause I never heard her outer a curse word before.
"Yeah I said it, Chile if you don't welcome love it'll come slap you in the face be prepared either way. your past is broken but your future isn't" and with that she took off, I swear she walked faster than I ever seen if you asked me it seem like she was walking like she never walked with a limp before.
Standing with the door still open I looked pondering my thoughts taking in everything she said, love wasn't coming my way fuck love and if it tried coming my way I'll make sure I won't allow it.
