2DaysLater

I rolled over in bed starring out at the sun hearing the faint noises of the birds chirp. It was nine in the morning and this laziness was taking over me for the second day. Today I had to look at venus for my fashion show then hire someone to make my ideas come together for me.

I sat up slowly stretching and yawning as I walked to the bathroom to turn on the shower.

Trey wasn't scheduled for any shows so until then my work was done with him. I only got a few phone calls and texts from him after that night of him apologizing. He had nothing to apologize for but yelling at me like I was some child of his. The Peaches chick was just doing what bitches do and it finally got to me and I snapped. I didn't really care about him and the cake, I seen the whole thing play out that's why I walked into the kitchen to keep from falling into my feelings. But once sis said she started to feed him it struck a nerve, I couldn't lie.

I stepped inside the shower catching a chill as the hot water woke me up.

The thing was, I had been fell for Trey and my emotions weren't in check anymore since he made it known he felt the same way. It was hard standing in the shadows and watching the man I was in love with show interest in someone else but I never cracked under pressure. Him telling me that I should've acted accordingly was a slap to the face because I had been acting that way for over a decade now.

I was nobody's number two and Trey was going to see that. It's his fault that I'm starting to get out of line. The dinner dates, Sunday meals with the family, popping up at my home, feeding me, kissing me, touching me.. it was his fault I was this way now.

I looked over at my digital clock seeing it was almost 15 minutes till ten and I neeeded to get a move on. I rinsed the water off of me grabbing my towel.

I picked up my phone and ordered an Uber cause I wasnt in no driving mood this morning. Everything about this fashion show was giving me the bubble guts or messing with my head. Thanks to Justin I had models in place and their sizes. This shoot was mostly for the big and beautiful but I had stuff for the skinnier ladies too.

I turned around in the mirror looking at the ripped up jeans seeing I looked good. An alert came to my phone letting me know my driver was ready. I grabbed everything I needed speed walking out the house and locking up.

"I'm sorry if you've been sitting out here for a while." I tossed my purse in the backseat right along with my phone. "Its fine." I stopped, slowly taking a seat in the car knowing the  guy's voice sounded familiar.

"Joesph?" He chuckled nodding his head. "You're the beautiful lady from the other day." I smiled laughing and closing the door. "I dont want you to think I'm a creep or anything, I promise you this is just a freaky coincidence." I nodded my head looking back down at my phone as he drove off.

My phone vibrated from a text message making me slide down.

Butthead🖕🏾💕:Can you please just talk to me? All that shit was taken out of context.

I slid my thumb across the message thinking of just anything to say. I didnt have the guts to tell him to come over but then again I wasnt going to let him see me like this.

"Complicated huh?" Joesph asked making me look up at him sideways. "Aren't you supposed to be keeping your eyes on the road? Do I need to make those five stars into none?" He chuckled making me do the same. "No, I'm sorry, its just I noticed your mood shifted that's all." I scoffed rolling my eyes. "No. I'm serious. You were so happy once you seen it was me then your face dropped whenever you got that message." I looked up at him and his eyes were still on me the whole time.

"Damn this man is fine Liv, go with the move"
"He keep on looking at me like that its gonna be something going on in this backseat."
"Its been monthssssss Liv, a fling never hurt anyone."
"Unless he got an STD.."

I snapped out of it still hearing him talking and seeing him smile at me.

"You must want my number or something?" He shut up and put his eyes back on the road for a second then on me again. "If that's not too much trouble, I dont wanna run into that nigga that got your mood all jacked up though." We both laughed. Trey wasnt my man and that was as clear as day to me now. I can still have fun and Joesph looked like walking fun so I was going to have it while I could.

"Give me your phone." He shook his head laughing handing it over to me.

I gave him my text free number simply because I didnt know him like that and if he was a bugga boo all I had to do was a simple switch in numbers. My text free app was for business and whatever guy I meet until I like them a lot.

"We're here, remember to rate me at five star." I laughed grabbing all of my things. "Wait! Wait! What's your name?" I laughed again rolling my eyes. "Bye Joesph." I closed the door and even through the half tinted windows I could see that smile.

I walked up to the huge empty building that use to be a restraunt. The white marble building was beautiful and classy, an easy eye catcher.

"Are you Ms. Backster?" An older black woman came from behind the double doors. "Yes ma'am." I walked up the stairs still looking at the perfect building with the tall windows and flowers lined up so nicely to the side of the neatley cut grass.

"Well lets get right down to business, this building is $1,000 every two hours and we throw in free catering." "Hmm." I nodded my head impressed making her laugh. "Okay that's not bad, I only need it for four hours and this building is amazing." I looked over at the long burgundy and white laced curtains and I knew if I decided on this building those would have to go. It looked old as fuck and it brought the place down.

"Also we do Djs if you don't have one yet we can take care of that for you." I shook my head. "I have one, thanks though." We continued our walk up the beautiful curved stairs standing in the middle so we could see everything. "I do have some more buildings to look at but I can't lie, this one is kind of stealing me already." She laughed making me do the same. "Well I'm glad to hear that, my people will be in contact with yours." She stick her hand out making me shake it.

"Okay that's fine." I waved bye walking back down the stairs as she went the other way. The building was great but I still needed to keep an open mind because the next building could blow this one to shame for all I know.

"If I knew the meeting was gonna be this fast I would've told him to stay." I mumbled standing outside.

A red and black Charger pulled up making me back up a little bit. The car just sat there giving me a creepy vibe. I pulled my phone out going to my dial pad and type in 911 cause I was too cute to get snatched up.

"Man get in the car!" I looked up seeing Trey making my heart drop to my ass.
