A'Janae | Nae .
"Are you serious?!" Melanie screamed at the top of her lungs. I laughed at her reaction.
"Yesss. I gave him my number and everything!"
"So what did Quavo say bout me?"
"What did...huh?"
"YOU FORGOT ABOUT ME?? ROACH."
"I ain't forget! They were leaving but trust me, I'll hook you up with him if I can. Besides, he asked if I had a friend on his way out."
"For real??"
"Sum like that." I laughed to myself thinking about what he really said. Then I really thought about it. I bet a lot of girls have given him their number. How many girls has he said that to? Well, I tell you one thing. I'm not letting my doubts get in the way of me this time. I looked over at the time on the microwave. 8:43 pm, and we ain't do nothing all day but sit up in Mel's house. I haven't talked to Rashad since that kinda rough moment at home. I didn't mean to push him away like that. I know he really misses me. It's just that I came to talk about something that was bugging me and he couldn't even focus. Thank God Melanie called when she did though. It would've went too far.
I opened up the fridge and started digging around for a snack. I'm sure Mel wouldn't care. I'd let her do the same. I decided on ice cream. After grabbing a spoon and fighting the top off, I started walking back over to the counter where I left my phone. Before I reached it, it started ringing. I hurried over to it faster and read the Caller I.D. The number was from California. My heart jumped. Was this TakeOff? I looked around for my hypewoman, aka Melanie. She had already made her way back to her room. I snatched my phone and the ice cream and made a beeline to her room while it was still ringing. I jumped and superman flew onto her bed. She was taking a nap and then turned at me lookin annoyed. "Girl TF??" I silently mouthed the words to her. "It might be him." I said as I pointed to the phone. She opened her eyes wider and turned over to face me. My heart was racing then the person the other end spoke. But it wasn't who I was expecting.
"Hello? Is this A'Janae?" I sort of frowned signaling to Mel that it wasn't him. She frowned too and turned back over.
"Yes it is. How may I help you?"
"Oh well hi! This is Trisha from the modeling agency. I know that it's been a long wait for the call back and I apologize. I just want you to know that you have been accepted!"
"Oh my goodness! That's wonderful! Thank you soooo much."
"No problem! You've been scheduled for a photo shoot onnnn... the 18th at 3. How's that?"
I already knew I didn't have anything scheduled so I went ahead and accepted it. "Yes, that's perfect!"
"Great! The rest of the info with be sent to your phone. See ya then!"
And with that the convo was over. Mel was still turned around, but she still spoke. "Who was that and why you sound so hype?"
"It was the modeling agency I took shots for about 2 months ago."
"It took them that long?"
"Yeah but I don't even care anymore. I'm a model!"
"Congrats. But I'm going back to sleep."
"Oh, darn. Guess I'll be out celebrating alone tonight then..."
She jerked around. "Whatchu mean?" I just laughed.
"Girl get ready then cause I'm going out tonight." We both got up. She showered in her bathroom while I showered in the guest bathroom. The time was already 9:00. Ladies get in free until 10 so we were in a bit of rush. We didn't have time to really decide on what we were wearing. We both wore leggings and a shirt meant for the club. We both actually wore a pair heels. That made me smile thinking about the modeling thing.
