Roommates

Chapter 3

When Mia dropped me off at home, I went straight into my room putting my new clothes away. I pulled my iPhone from my neon pink purse I bought from an online shop about a week ago. When I looked at my phone I saw I had 7 missed calls & 4 text messages from Quan. Since it was around 11 something at night, I decided to shower & just go to bed. I was tired and I had to get up early for work. I've been working at Walmart since the summer of 11th grade. I was so happy since my mom was struggling & I couldn't ask for much from her. I've been searching high & low for a job since I was 16 & I finally got a job. I was super excited.

When I got out the shower, I opened Quan messages.

My everything.☺️🌍👫💕💍

so you ignoring me?10:05

I see how we rockin' now.💯✌️

I texted him back and I told him my phone was on silent & I went out with Mia.

Ever since the cheating incident, Quan has been on my back 24/7. If anything I should be on him about everything, I should be the one with trust issues. I guess I saw from his perspective, he thinks I'll do something since he did it. I never thought of it that way, I didn't want revenge. I forgave him & we moved on from the situation. I mean, yeah I think about him being with another girl from time to time, but it didn't phase me as much as it use to. It's been almost two years since that happened, I'm not worried about that anymore.

so the whole time you was out you didn't think to text me?😶

I called him since I was too lazy to text back, "look I'm not ready to argue with you Quan, I'm tired!"

Quan replied in a raspy, sleepy voice "aite, I'm not trying to argue either bae...I miss you tho"

I smiled, "I miss you too, when am I seeing you again?"

"your schedule don't have enough time for me, so I don't know".

He was right, I never had much time since summer started. My days just consisted of work & sleep. I was lucky enough to have enough energy to go out with Mia earlier.

"you're right baby, I promise I'll take a day off next week so we can do something together. I miss my fatty!"

Quan wasn't fat but he wasn't skinny either. I called him my fatty because his butt was pretty much bigger than mine.

"what I tell you about calling me that?" he always caught feelings when I called him that, it was funny to me though.

I laughed, "I can't help that your butt is bigger than mine"

"yeah aite" Quan said in an annoyed tone, "you better make time for me, definitely since you leaving me in two weeks".

After awhile talking about my day with Quan, I drifted off to sleep.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

next morning...

I woke up to my loud alarm, reading 10:00am on my phone. I don't remember wrapping the conversation up with Quan last night, but I see he wasn't still on the phone. He must've texted me last night while I was asleep.

My Everything.☺️🌍👫💍💕

I heard yo lil snore so I hung up. goodnight baby.🌝I love you!❤️don't forget to dream about me.😘

I read it smiling to myself.

I got up, stretched, & walked to the bathroom. After I put my work clothes on I went into the kitchen to see my mom fixing breakfast.

"hey Erie, you want something to eat before you go to work?"

"I'm not really hungry but I'll take a piece of bacon", I grabbed two pieces of bacon and headed outside to my two door Pontiac. My car wasn't nice, but it was good for a first car, definitely since it was given to me. My mom gave it to me when she bought a jeep about a year ago.
