I have a fear of rejection. This fear has followed me since my donor lacked showing me any affection, attention, or kindness growing up. It didn't help that my last name meant that not too many people wanted to be associated with me. From jobs denying me to kids turning their noses up at me because Niche sold their mamas crack. I have been rejected by people my whole life and today I think it will happen again. I regret even mentioning my grandmother.
" This is a bakery on Madison Avenue" Chasity spoke up after a while of driving.
" Indeed it is. Let's check it out. I hope this is the one because I'm not buying Logan no cake for every shop we walk in"
" How about I walk in first and give you the signal if it's hers. What she look like?"
" Older with a blow out last time I saw her. She has a mole and grey streaks in her hair. She's not heavyset but you can tell she lost a lot of weight." Apryl is on speaker trying her best to describe her mother. Unfortunately for me she has no pictures.
" Alright thanks" Chasity unbuckled her seatbelt and walked into the shop. The rain had stopped so she wasn't running into the shop like a mad lady. She was out quicker than she went in.
"No?" I mouthed through the window, and she shook her head getting back in the shop.
" Negative them people are white. Cake probably tastes like sandpaper or some shit"
" Yikes. I don't got time for Logan to be getting sick." I laughed.
" You should've asked if she knew any black owned shops around"
" She would've looked at me all offended and probably call the cops, no thanks"
" It's another one right there in the cut we just passed."
" Not a problem" She spoke before doing a u-turn.
My phone pinged and it was a salty Saint telling me how much he missed us.
I smiled at my phone. He can be so extra.
" What's funny?"
" Saint is being clingy again."
" I still can't believe you're engaged. That has to feel like a fairytale. How did he do it?"
" He put the ring on my finger when I was sleeping then woke me up begging for a picture knowing I would cover my face. Be held my hand and oddly I was tired I didn't think nothing of it. I went to go wash my face and brush my teeth and I'm staring at this big ass diamond glistening on my hand."
" That sounds so simple and perfect."
" It was. I'm not even sure when we'd get married though. It's all so sudden. I never thought anyone could love me enough for marriage."
" I don't know why! I've always known you'd be married first."
" Really?"
" Yes, you're a good woman. He's not stupid. If he doesn't someone else will."
" You know what Chasity, I'm sorry for giving you the run arounds can we just go home and figure out how we can get that building in our names then watch movies? I feel like I'm looking for trouble."
" Fine by me, this weather got me tired as hell anyway."
" Logan, you want to go and watch Moana?!"
