Walking in I see the owner which is a Hispanic dude that every time he see me he speaking Spanish. Last time I checked my mom and dad are black, but my looks do tell otherwise. Noticing a snotty look from these two chicks, one looking like obesity is the latest trend or her clothes just fitting all wrong and small as hell. Then the other chick look like she about to audition for a thot slash crackhead role. I go straight to the cooler and decide on a vitamin water then head to the line. Knowing the tension on me I play it cool and see how this plays out. I don't know anybody around here like that so this should be very interesting. The two dust bugs leave out the store before me, I see they talking about me pumping they gas and looking back in the store. After this guy buy is twenty-four pack of beer around twelve o'clock in the afternoon I say he about to get on it to myself and chuckle as I walk up to the counter. Hola I say just to make his day, Hola mamicita, Como Estas? Bien, I respond. Me Hector Si as he point to his name tag and smile. Si Hector I smile back and laugh. Ya girl did take on some Spanish in high school but the basics is all I remember. I pay for my drink then I walk out waving saying adios. Soon as I walk out the store thot head ratchet ass eating some flamin hots, scream hey! Don't I know you? Now I thought about it, I felt like saying bitch do I know you due to them ugly ass looks I was getting in the store, but I'm a lady so ill be cool and answer with the sense I do have. Hell noll you don't! cause I don't know you! That seemed pretty fair don't you think. You can keep your comments I just asked you a question thot head said. If you knew how to ask a question you would of gotten a better response. Fat ass finish pumping the gas, hang it up, then both of them post up on they car like they about to do something. Wasn't you and that chic Angel at Slay's one weekend? Listen, let me explain something to you, I don't know Angel like that and if I did you don't need to be asking me questions about anybody because I don't know you. Well, I know I seen yall together, but she better stay away from my man! Look! Do we have a problem? If so do what you feel otherwise you need to bounce out my face. Yeah whatever, like I said, come on stank. They both get in a dusty ass crown vic and leave. Did this bitch just call a grown ass woman stank. I shake my head thinking about knocking with both of them. I look at the time and start walking back home, my workout got me starving. Walking up the stairs the air conditioner greets me with a cool welcome. My home always have that scent that makes you feel welcomed also due to my candle fetish. A lady loves her candles, especially aromatherapy candles that relax you. I'm just a chill type of chic I feel like. Now I think about it I need to get online and see what bath and body works got popping on them sales. First thing first who has hit me up this early part of the day. Looking at my phone once again T trying to tell me about last night. I can call her after I take a bath, and then a text from Mila saying she can't open up the coffee shop Monday. Ugh! Guess ill have to be there bright and early even though I have shipment to put out. Shaking my head I promptly reply letting her know Hailey will cover for them until she gets there if she's even coming. Then I text her to see if she will be there at all. Mondays are usually a little slow but with it being tax season hopefully it will pick up more this week. Besides, me and Taylor will be there putting up more decorations and ill look through some early week paperwork. Mila reply's that she could come in around lunch when its busy and I say okay cool because with the coffee shop they always have some business. That's why I love when I came up with the idea of adding it to the shop I can get money both ways. I let her know that is fine. Taking off my sweaty clothes I throw them in the hamper, its just me and my mind wondering what to do today. I do think quickly grabbing my phone again, standing in my living room butt ass naked I check my video surveillance on my phone checking out the my store. Everything looks fairly well I cant complain except the garbage. Like damn when they not picking up on Fridays, now it has to look like that over the weekend. Oh well time to take a bath and eat immediately. Running me some steamy hot water I wipe the glass mirror, take down my ponytail and brush it down. Throwing it back into a messy ball ponytail I then go grab my stereo remote to cut on my surround sound. Soon as I hit power Beyoncé formation come on and I'm like awe shit that's my song let me shake some real quick. I twirl on hatas! Singing along while I step in the tub. Bobbing my head as I lay back kind of make me laugh as I think about me and T when we went out to the club. This song came on and her ass was in the club really trying to form a formation. I chuckle because we had a lot of fun that night. In the back of my mind maybe I should step out tonight, it wouldn't hurt. Last time I went out was over two months ago, hell I think that was new years eve. I might see how I feel a little bit later once this wine get in me. It is a Saturday night and I chilled out last night. As I soak up my sponge and lather Tinashe "2 on" comes on and I was like okay that's it I'm picking me a fit to wear and calling T asap. Getting out the tub I grab my robe and walk to the sink to freshen up my breath when my stomach start growling letting me know what's up. Finishing up I find my phone on the bed, find T number and head to the kitchen pressing speaker as the phone dials. What up bihhhhhh! Taylor yells as she answers. I fall out laughing at her crazy ass. Hey chic what you doing tonight? Girl recovering for one, and for two preparing to hit the mall, my spring gear all jacked up. Yeah I haven't really went through my closet yet, but I do wanna go to the mall. You know we can roll, and I can tell you about what happened at Slay's last night on the way. Okay cool, around what time you'll be here? I'll be pulling up at four, what you doing any way. Right now looking for my roast beef so I can make me a Italian beef sandwich. Girl I just freshened up from running this morning now I need a meal for real. Raina make me one please girl. Okay T I got you, smelling the augus sauce takes me back home stirring the gravy and the scent just fills my nostrils making me even more hungry. Well let me go so I can eat and do my hair real quick. Okay, but hold up Raina what you wearing? I don't have a clue right now T, all I know is its gonna be a nice warm day kind of hot for this spring weather this year. Hell yeah girl you right I was gonna put on me some shorts and a crop top. I'll probably do some high waist jeans and a crop top with some slides. K, well I'll text you when I'm on my way, bye boo. Okay T, as I'm hanging up I see its only one thirty so I have plenty of time. Grabbing a plate, fixing my sandwich and wrapping T's, I plate my food grab me a minute made cranberry juice and snatch a paper towel. Sitting at my bar I smash my whole sandwich thinking about eating Taylors but I'm not gone do her like that. As I get up to go clean up the dishes I think about ole boy that came to the store. We didn't switch numbers so that had me puzzled, but I wasn't willing so fast, besides he came to my workplace that's obviously the next approach, I hope. Wiping the counter tops I still wonder when I'll see him again, looking at my phone its two ten, let me get to my closet.
