The Next Day

I get a notification on my phone from my ring doorbell it's Shakey.

He attempted to use his key and it didn't work. Then he attempted to use the key code and it didn't work. I tapped corky so that he can see what I was seeing before I finally said something.

None of that will work, I changed the locks and the pins what can I do for you.

Come open the door

I'm not home again what can I do for you.

It's a school day you have class in two hours where are you.

I'm at my man house and there is nothing we need to talk about everything has been closed and came to an end with you. Get off my doorstep please.

I don't see how you already got another nigga you probably been fucking with that nigga this whole time.

Bitch don't even play me like that it's been over a year now. Again, get the fuck off my doorstep we have nothing to talk about if it's important call my daddy

You sure you want to meet my daddy at the dinner I asked

I told you I'm not worried about that nigga baby it's a night for you shouldn't be no bullshit. I think you should stay here until you move into your new place anyway now that I see that I don't want no funny shit from that nigga.

Corky was right I had that apartment since I started college and it just hold a lot of memories I don't care to hold on to. One of my buildings the top condo will be up for grabs and I think with the extra cash not having to pay rent would be good to start up my business.

I have final walk-thru for my last-minute touch ups this week and I'm trying to be in by my birthday.

I know so until that apartment is no longer your home, I feel safe if you stay here.

Baby he ain't that crazy to harm me

Yea but the way it ended, and he see you moved on I don't know what would go through his head. So, baby stay here please plus, I love waking up to you.

I'll let Sue know that I'll be here until further notice. Are you going with me to pick out furniture today I asked

I have city inspectors going to the new project so no but I should be done by 5 and I'm all yours after that.

Ok fine I'm sure Sue would want to leave the shop early to do it with me.

We both got up and maneuvered around each other to get dressed and be out by a decent time I had 1 class today and it was at 9:30am so I would be done with school by noon.

Soon as I pulled up to school as I was walking up to the econ building, I see Shakey standing there I tried to walk right pass him he grabbed my arm I pulled out my .38 Ruger pointing it at him.

Let go of me and go about your day Shaquille

Why are you acting funny cause you got a new nigga when you the reason shit is like it is now

I'm not acting funny I wasn't about to look stupid to my brother and daddy over your no-good ass now turn my loose I said taking the safety off my gun

You really gone shoot me?

I don't know I saw your baby mother with a black eye a couple weeks ago I don't get my ass beat. I'll send yo ass to the hospital so you can know I'm not to be fucked with now move before you make me late to class.

This nigga really got you acting out you not gone shoot shit

I won't miss try me I said bumping him as I walked off to class.
