Raelle
Since we have gotten back to our apartment I've started back working on unpacking and decorating my room. Lauren offered to help so that I could finish faster. But who knew this was a set up to talk more about the sexy stranger we met at the shopping plaza today. I wish she would let the situation go already. I don't even understand why she is still harping on it this much. I did what she wanted which was to not talk to him. So what's the problem?
If I'm being honest with myself I'm actually quite disappointed in my actions. I wish I had the confidence to go up to him and start a conversation. The instant connection I felt when we locked eyes still has my heart racing. Did I miss out on my one true love, or did I dodge a bullet. I guess I'll never know now.
"Raelle are you listening to a word I'm saying?" Lauren ask me. I stare at her for a moment before responding . "I'm going to be honest with you and say no L." I sigh. she rolls her eyes at my statement. "Well what I was saying is I think you made the right decision by not talking to that thug." She says.
I don't understand why that just offended me like it did. I feel like what she said was a direct hit at me. Why do I care what she calls somebody I don't know? Why does her saying anything negative about him make me so upset?
"Lauren please stop being so damn judgmental. You don't know what his background is, and why he even started selling drugs. He could have had a hard life and thought that was his only option." I say as I place a picture frame on the nightstand by my bed. "Why are you defending him Rae?" she smirks. That is a good question. Why am I defending him? I have no clue.
"I'm not Lauren. I just don't understand why you are still talking about this. We've been home for two hours now. Let it go." I say while looking at her add the throw pillows to my bed. "Okay I'll let it go, but only because I seriously doubt we're ever going to see him again." That alone cause my heart to shatter into a million pieces. I am really in my damn feelings right now and need to get my mind off this entire situation.
"Well Lo thank you for helping me unpack the rest of my room. I think I'm going to wash and twist my hair now. You know that's an all-day process." I say to her with a fake but believable smile. Or so I thought. "I know you're just trying to get rid of me so you can sulk about Mr. Mystery." She says while rolling her eyes. This is the downside to having a best friend that knows you like the back of her hand.
"Okay I may sulk a little, but I do plan to do my hair so that when I meet up with Dreka later this week my hair is done." I laugh. She rolls her eyes at the mention of Dreka. Damn her eyes are going to get stuck like that if she rolls them one more damn time.
"Why are yall meeting up later this week." She asks with attitude present. "We're meeting up to spend time together. I didn't know I needed a reason to go see my other best friend." I say with just as much attitude. She just says a simple okay and finally exits my room.
