The Elevator Tales

Chapter #4:

Robyn:
"Hey are you still going to the mall??" My boyfriend asked after rudely barging into my conversation Vanessa.

"Yes I am! What's the problem?" I asked pissed. We both knew that he had a football game tonight and that right after he was invited to go to a party.

He wouldn't go because he is that much of a stickler to the rules. But he did say that if you don't follow the rules you could end up being in trouble. I mean I do understand why he would feel that way considering his mom is in jail, but I wish he wouldn't stop me from doing what I wanted.

"Are you going to get into trouble?" He said with his arms on his waist. He looked like a Vsco girl doing that but I wouldn't tell him that. Though it doesn't stop me from giggling. I mean he is 6 ft 3 and 200 pounds and yet he still could act as girly and innocent as a 12 year old girl.

"No I am not going to get in trouble!" I laughed. How could I get into trouble at the mall?? I mean I did get kicked out of Walmart once but that was not my fault. That bitch deserved it. And it teaches a 8 year old to not get in between me and candy. I mean I did end up getting the candy but I also got kicked out which Cameron would never let me forget.

"Okay keep it that way!" Cameron told me before kissing my forehead, grabbing his gym bag and leaving the room. Thank god he is gone! I can finally be the messy woman that I was meant to be.

"It's nice!" Vanessa said in a dreamy voice. She was scratching her arm and looking dreamy at the door.

"What is?" I asked as I jumped on the coach beside her. I grabbed the bag of chips beside her and started stuffing my face. Don't judge me! I'm home, hungry and can do what I want!

"How much he cares about you!" She said with a huff. I could tell this was a touchy subject. Vanessa was not in the best place with Bryant. That is why I keep telling her to push him to the side and to forget him. But she always says she can't. Maybe he has that good dick that keeps her around. Or maybe it is his amazing personality? Probably just his dick then.

"Yea but it can be over baring I mean he treats me like a 9 year old! Like I would really get into trouble at a mall!" I said as I wrapped my arms around my chest.

"Yea but it's still so sweet!" Vanessa said. Maybe we would never agree on boys but Vanessa is still my best friend and the best person I know.

We met when we were roommates in university. I thought it would be hard to know her. She is also a stickler to rules and sometimes hate it when I do crazy things. But she is always there for me and she is extremely loyal and kind. She also always checks up on me and tells me to stay safe but still let's me do whatever I want. I wish my boyfriend was more like that.

I mean you maybe wondering why is this queen with a joker like him? It's because we grew up together in a bad area. His mom went to jail and his father is always getting high, so he spend a long time taking care of his siblings. I was his neighbour. My mom was a hard worker but after having me as a teenager and being kicked out and my dad leaving, she had to raise me on her own.

After we met, he would also be protective of me and I did love the attention he would give me. I love that I knew there was someone there who would scare bad guys away, rather it was the boys who used to bully me or it was the junkies we were raised around. However I still needed space and to live my own life.

I love him so much for everything he ever did for me in my life. But these days our relationship is getting extremely challenging. Could I let our past keep me in the relationship or should I leave him? It's a question I always ask myself.

"Hey, hey, hey are you okay?" Vanessa said shaking her hand in front of my face. I just realized that she got closer to me and was looking at me with concern in her eyes.

"Yes I am fine. Sorry I just spaced out." I said.

"Oh okay I just wanted to make sure you were fine." She said hugging me. Even though I always hated affectionate contact, I love Vanessa hugs. Almost as much as I love Cameron being around me. Nothing beats his kiss. Not even Lindor chocolate or Chai Tea Lattes.

"Let's just start heading out!" I said.

We ended up going to the mall but could not find anything that we were looking for. I mean I hate going to the mall but you would think that they would at least have one decent pair of boots that I didn't have.

I see cute guys check out Vanessa pretty much every minute. I mean the mall is the best place to go to for fun in our small university town, which leads to guys always being at the mall to check out girls.

However Vanessa unfortunately does not realize that the only reason guys were checking her out was because she was beautiful. And they had yet to meet the amazing woman behind her glowing beauty and her everlasting smile.

She could be with any guy she wanted to but no matter how many time I tell her that she brushes it off. It sucks that she does not realize how beautiful she is.

I mean even Bryant a total player left his player games for her. However I know that he is not good for her and behind that loving couple something more sinister was happening. However she never hears me out about breaking up with him.

"Can we leave now?" Vanessa asked as she looked through the racks of clothing. She seemed to hate being in public.

"Why?" I asked walking over to see what she was looking at.

"Because everyone is staring at me!" Vanessa whined.

"Do I have something on my face?" She asked as she looked around the area at the boys who weren't so discreet in checking her out.

"No it's because you are beautiful!" I said. I knew my plan would work! I did need to find another pair of boots but the main reason I brought her out is because I am tired of her going to Bryant's game just for him to ignore her. Then when she brings on male attention which she always does for being so beautiful, he tells her to go home while he would go to party. Worst of all is she listens to him.

"Can we just go please!" She said with a blush on her face. She was looking down embarrassed.

"Come on you can find another guy here!" I said putting my arm around her shoulder.

"No I'm fine with Bryant! Can we just go home!" Vanessa yells at me. She would rarely yell, especially at me. But I guess having the break through could be difficult.

"You are not fine with him! And you could meet a much better guy here!" I yelled. I see everyone's eyes turning to me. I tend to talk loudly and bring attention. I see Vanessa gulp.

"Please I am fine." She said in a quite voice as she stalked off.
