Another Disappointment

chapter twenty-three

Sorry it took so damn long. I had writers block. I started this chapter about four times 😑

But enjoy and please excuse the mistakes. You know what I'm trying to say 😐😂

One month later

Cardi B voice filled my head as I ran on the treadmill blocking out all distractions. Sweat slid down my hot neck onto my chest. The burning in my thighs and stomach was motivation to keep running.

The treadmill slowed down causing me to slow down until it stopped.

"Whew!" I exclaimed getting off the treadmill trying to control my breathing.

"This is why I never came to the gym with yall skinny asses." Tabitha complained out of breath following Madison and I to the weights.

I chuckled adjusting my pink spandex joggers on my waist and wiping the sweat from my flat stomach.

"You know Leo will have your ass if he saw your outfit." Madison said throwing the eight ball at me. I caught it and squatted throwing the ball toward Tabitha.

"I actually sent him a picture of me in it before I left." I laughed catching the ball squatting again throwing it back at Tabitha.

"He didn't respond?"

"Nah, he probably still sleep." I said when my phone starting ringing loudly.

"Opp you in trouble.." Tabitha laughed.

I laughed dismissing myself from the game to get my phone.

I picked up my phone answering Leo's incoming phone call.

"Put it on speaker!" Madison whispered yelled. I laughed softly putting it on speaker.

"Rylee, I know your ass ain't wear that out." He said answering the phone.

"Good morning to you to..." I said sarcastically holding in my laughter.

"Good morning." He said uninterested. "I know your ass ain't wear that out!" Tabitha laughed quickly covering her mouth. I covered my mouth covering my giggles.

"What's funny?" He asked becoming upset.

Rolling my eyes I replied, "I'm not laughing."

"Don't piss me off Lee." I put him on mute and burst into laughter with the other girls.

"Yo, he finna be piss." Madison laughed.

"Rylee, did you wear that out this house?" He questioned.

"Shhh." I laughed unmuting him.

"No, it was a throwback. I just consequentially had the same hairstyle and nail color." I lied biting my bottom lip. Tabitha shook her head recording me on her Snapchat.

The call ended and an incoming FaceTime call came through.

"Fuckkk!" Madison laughed stomping her feet as I began to panic.
