[fast forward...a few months had gone by since I've met Kaleb.. we never really started dating dating until now.. I still
Questioned for a long period of time if he was worth being taken seriously.. I never really fucked with a nigga who was popular and the typical guy the hot girls would chase.. but he insisted on trying.. I've left this nigga on read a couple times before. At one point , I stopped answering my phone. He would try to turn his small talk into something a little more, but I really never had the time to consider being that this whole popularity thing was going on..][beep beep beep] alarm going off*
Waking up to the sunlight rising, peeking through the window alongside my bed and lightning up the room, I slowly rubbed my eyes & let out a nice morning yawn & stretch. The walls in my new condo were painted white, and my furniture and decor was white and champagne. The color scheme would be so hard to sleep in hours through, so damn bright. I continue wandering my eyes around the room, floor to ceiling, attempting to finally get my ass up and get my day started..Ring ring ring..
I rolled over to grab my phone , Kaleb's calling..
Im not going to answer I thought, slowly waiting until he disconnect the call on his end.
Once my phone stopped ringing I grabbed my comforter and pulled It back over my face, attempting to sleep for a few more minutes..Ring ring ring...
Damn boy fuck!, I yelled out.
turning over & smiling, my ass wanna be so smart & that's not even him calling."Hello?", I answered.
"Hey , Goodmorning girl! Are you awake? We're going to attend the first service to have a little more time to get ready before the event.", said Zara.
"Im just getting up now. I'll meet you at the church for 10."
"Great , see ya!"Zara hung up..Zara was my good friend that I met during our new membership meetings at our church. She was inspired about how hard I work to accomplish my goals, and i found her support & passion, interest in me very attractive. Our conversations were always motivational , real , just 100 & I could call her at any time for personal & professional advice. We both decided to attend this big networking event after church. I would be a guest speaker while she passed out my cards to future clients.
My life pretty much is always planned, I feel as though planning was the way of successfully achieving my goals. At this point in my life, I was in my bag. Single, beautiful, living in my own condo, own car, business booming. Things were only getting better & my main focus was this paper. I can't let anyone make me lose focus.. I thought to myself finally getting out of the bed..{hey Goodmorning shawty, give me a call when you wake up..}
I can hear Kaleb's voice through the text saying shawty. I thought It was cute. He wasn't so bad, I just figured that I'll entertain him on my own terms..
I walked to the bathroom and got undressed, taking off my cheeksters, pulling off my bra, getting my tooth brush from out of the cabinet.
after I brushed my teeth I stepped into the shower , running my fingers through my hair as the hot steamy water cover my body. I looked down watching as the water bounced off my silky oily skin. I pulled the shower curtain open to see my naked body through what was now, the foggy bathroom mirror. I grabbed my dove soap and begin washing off, leaning my head back, letting the water run through my scalp, over my face, down my body. Out of no where, I thought to myself about where I'm going , what's in store for me, how special I am, a good woman..I stepped out of the shower & dried off.
I covered my body in oil & slipped on my black lace thong, skin tone stockings, and an olive colored blazer dress. I put on my nude pumps and started on my makeup. Natural beat with a gloss. I slicked my hair back into a low bun with a part bust right down the middle of my head. Put on my Chanel earrings, tennis bracelet, sprayed on my Chanel perfume & headed towards the door.Ring ring ring..
It was Kaleb.."Hello?"
"I knew I was worth more than being left on read huh shawty."
"Yea I guess." I laughed.
"So what made you answer now, been like a week?" Kaleb asked.
"Change of thought maybe."
" I can accept that, give me a chance though."
I smiled.
"that's cool... so , wats up."
"Im coolin, pulling up the the dealership to handle some business , how yo morning goin ?"
"It's fine. Im just heading out."
"Word, where u goin? If I may ask." Said Kaleb
"Church now, have some things on my schedule after."
"I got you. Well look, hmu after you get done with everything shawty , I wanna see you."
"I'll send you a picture." I laughed.
"Haha.. you got jokes I see." Kaleb laughed.
"But that's cool, I'll text you."
"iight shawty, But say though. One more thing."
"Huh"
"You gone send me a picture still and see me."
"So you a demanding one huh.?"
"Nah shawty, you brought up picture so y not." I sensed a smirk when he spoke..
"ahaha, thank you. I'll see." I hung up.Kaleb was cool. Maybe answering the phone for him after all wasn't much of a problem. I just don't have time to play with him..
"Hey Goodmorning Neighbha ! Girl you lookin good this morning ! Where you headed" my neighbor yelled down the hall as I walked towards the garage.
"Hey Goodmorning Ms. Carol, to church !" I yelled back out and smiling. "Thank you , have a good day!"Ms.Carol was my elderly neighbor who stayed directly across the hall from me. Her ass was so nosy. It's not a time that I stepped out of the door and she didn't peek through the hall to speak and then ask me where i was going. She was sweet, would invite me over sometimes to see her new plants that she grew from the balcony...
I walked through the garage and got in my car to head to church. Today was going to be good, I can tell.
