After school. CJ gave me his number.
When.. I got home I did my momma signature on some papers. My momma told me 7months ago she will be back home in 3 weeks I haven't seen her since. My dad is gone with his other wife. So I guess I'm the real adult in this house. I text CJ my address so he could come get me at 8.
He text back.
OK. Bae.
I'm not your Bae it's one date.
My bad then.
Can I come now.
Uhhh. Sure. I guess.
Later the door bell rings and it's CJ.
What is your real name. I asked getting sick of calling him CJ.
Charles Johnson. he says.
Well I'm going to go get dressed. I take a 15 min shower and get dressed. Charles runs you stairs and jumps on my bed.
Nigga. Get out. I say.
Bae. I'm not looking at you. he says.
Ugh. I say.
You ready. he asked.
Sure. I say.
We get in his car and we went to Paris Restaurant. You have to have atleast $100 for two people to eat here.
What do you do for a living. I asked.
I work. he says.
Mmm. Where. I asked.
Ummm. I have my own business. he says.
Cool. We go inside and see Brandy and Corey waiting for us.
We went to sit by them.
Hey Y'all. Corey says.
Wassup. Charles says.
Are you guys and ladies ready?
Yes. we say.
I will start with your drinks.the lady says.
Hey CJ. A random girl comes to him.
Boss wants you out getting his money now.
BOSS?! ARE YOU SERIOUS. I say.
Brandy did you drive your car. Yes I did.
And are you a wanna be thug too. she asked Corey.
Well....I...Yeah. he says.
Girl Let's go. She says.
I went home and got my clothes to stay with Brandy for a while.
BRANDY.
Ugh. I can't believe that these niggas set here and kept this away from us. Thugs or whatever. They like to play girls and I'm not gonna be played nor is my girl.
Girl I can't believe them. I say.
I just can't trust anyone..she says.
Then we heard a knock on the door. I opened it and Corey and CJ came storming in.
Look we sorry. Corey says.
We ignored.
Can yall please forgive us. CJ says.
We ignored.
Can y'all leave. we asked.
Nope. I will stay here till y'all forgive us. Cj says.
I'm going to bed. Candi says.
CANDI.
I was getting upset so I went upstairs.
I start getting dressed for bed. Then Charles walks in.
What do you want. I say with tears in my eyes
What's wrong. he asked with guilt.
Every boy I go with either is a hustler, or just play me. And nigga you no different. I say.
Yes. I am. I'm sorry. Bae. he says.
He come and hold me, I push him away.
LEAVE. NOW. I yelled.
He left. I went to bed crying. Brandy came up to comfort me. We both went to sleep.
