Get You

ISSUES

TWO MONTHS LATER

    I had just finished up a color on a customer when, I got a text from a friend of mine, Mel asking me about going out tonight. I really didn't want to but the way that Kareem has been acting, I needed to get him off of my mind. We were going strong, loving on each other, feeding each other strawberries and shit for the last two months, then since last weekend he's been acting funny. When I say funny I mean like, phone locked and turned over. Taking calls in another room or even outside, not giving me attention like he used to. Now I haven't brought it up to the girls or anything because all they are going to do is take his side.

    I responded to her message saying yes that I wanted to go out. She let me know that we would hit up the poetry spot then go to a bar to have drinks and dinner, just a chill evening. Its nice to have your own space away from your significant other sometimes and I don't think my girls knew it. I checked my phone again and noticed that I didn't have any missed calls or texts from Kareem, I decide to be the bigger person and call him. I tapped his name and waited for him to pick up, this nigga forwarded my call after two rings. I pause and see if he will call me back, nothing. So call him back, and he does the same thing. I text him a long ass text message saying that I am done with him and over it. I didn't block his number because I wanted this nigga to call and text me begging for forgiveness. I hopped in the truck and drove home.

    As I stepped out the shower I once again checked my phone and saw no messages, but i see his ass read my message. At this point I'm irritated and when I say I'm done I really meant that, and I'm gone make this nigga feel me being single. I pulled out my two piece yellow outfit. I straightened my hair out and pulled it back into two buns. While I was applying my highlight, I got a message from Kareem. After all this time, this ole smooth skinned, beard having, I wear designer face ass nigga sends me. "LOL. U aint going nowhere" with a whole laughing emoji. I turned red in the face and said "LMAO, watch me bum". With that I blocked his and his brother numbers, a bitch is single.

    The poetry spot was amazing as always, we had a few drinks at the slam competition so we decided to go throw some ass at the club knowing we were not going to be dressed for it. As we stepped in, I posted on my snap and went straight to the bar and ordered shots. Mel got asked to dance so she walked off leaving me. I tapped the bar for him to bring me more shots, I pulled the cash out and put it on the counter. As I was trying to get get my shots a hand slithered out and pushed them back to the bartender. I looked up at this rough ass hand, "Can I help you, my guy?" I asked with my throat filled with attitude. His eyebrow raised at me, He stared at my face a little longer, "You Kareem girl?" I kept my poker face and said, "Who the hell is that?" He stood there for a little longer looking at me before laughing. He waved over the bartender, "Aye, get a bottle of water for Mrs. Mays here, and no one is to serve her any alcohol." He looked at me and winked before walking off.

    "Excuse me, who is Mrs. Mays? And how are you going to tell him to stop serving me, I'm not drunk." I ran up on his tall ass. He stopped and said, "Ya man is on his way here, if he knew you were here and I knew it and kept serving you alcohol. That would be my ass, so go sit at the bar and wait for him and please don't cause any problems." He then swiftly turned and walked off. I was not about to let these two niggas ruin my night. I went through the crowd to find Mel, once I saw her grinding on a nigga I grabbed, "Hey Mel, lets go to ICE, I heard the dj tonight is going to be badass." She smiled and nodded. ICE wasn't far so we just walked there.
