Heart Ain't A Brain

Chapter Two

Raelle

The ride to our destination was actually pretty quiet. The only sound that could be heard was the radio. To my surprise Lauren had actually picked to go eat in a shopping center that was located in the center of downtown Atlanta.

The shopping center consisted of several different eating options, but we both decided on Chinese because I had been craving it for the longest.

Once we arrived trying to find parking was hell. I swear the people of Atlanta are never at home. Like damn do yall not enjoy chilling in your houses?

The traffic here is horrible and sadly that is at all times of the day. We finally find a parking spot and start making our way into the small Chinese eatery.

As soon as I enter the place my mouth starts to water from the smell of my all-time favorite food! I quickly glance the menu placed above the cashier's head, and decide to get an order of beef and broccoli with a side of shrimp fried rice.

After ordering I grab my receipt and step to the side to allow Lauren to order her food. As we wait for our orders to be called we make small talk about random things that have taken place over the last week.

After waiting what felt like an hour but in reality was only 15 minutes we received our food. There was a nice sitting area in the middle of the shopping center so we decided to sit there.

Lauren found us a table in the middle of the area so it was easy for us to see everything that was going. I instantly started to scan my surroundings. I need to always make sure I see an exit in site just in case shit goes left, and I know where the fuck my ass needs to sprint to make sure I live to see another day.

People these days that resemble a box of saltine crackers tend to come to public places and shoot up the entire area for fun, so I can never be too cautious.

As I was doing my surveillance of the area I noticed a group of females sitting about two tables over looking to be enjoying their time out as friends. I wish that both of my friends could sit and have a civilized conversation with one another.

It's not like Dreka doesn't try at least for my sake, but Lauren is always saying some rude shady comment that causes an argument that usually results in Dreka almost beating her ass.

I try to keep them separate for the most part, so maybe it's a good thing Dreka and I will have our quality time later on in the week without Lauren and her smart ass mouth.

Anyways I finally open my box of food and instantly dig in. As soon as the beef and broccoli hits my mouth I let out a long ass moan. "This is so bomb" I say to Lauren. She just looks at me like I have three heads.

"What?" I ask. "The way you just moaned makes me think you were envisioning something completely different in your mouth." She said while smirking.

I buck my eyes at her nasty ass. "Lauren what the hell?" I yell at her. She just laughs like what she said was funny.

"What? I was just saying" she burst out laughing once again. Now she has me in my feelings because it has been a while since I have had sex.

My last relationship ended on a sour note. The nigga was basically stringing me along until he decided to get back with his ex-girlfriend that he just seemed to not be able to shake. Ughh men really ain't shit but yall knew that already.

"I hope you aren't over there thinking about that trash ass nigga Kahlil." Lauren says to me. I shake my head yes and she lets out a sigh. I can feel an inspirational speech coming in three two one...
