My Girl

"Amy, I can't get Keisha out of my head," I said.

"SO GO AND VISIT HER," Amy said.

I drove the yellow Audi that seemed to glow with the sunset rays. I saw bikes and huge Dodge RAM cars.

"Keisha," I called out near the gang that stood next to Keisha and that is when I saw it all.

She was making love with this gang leader, Timmy.

"Hey, boy get away can't you see I'm busy with my babe?"

"Andrew," she called between gasps as Timmy caressed her body enough to arouse her.

It started raining and that is when my relaxed hair flowed down my neck. Angrily, I got back in the car and went home.

"SIR, YOU HAVE A MESSAGE," Amy called out.

"Hi, Andrew" it was Keisha on Face Time on the projector.

"Listen, I'm sorry," she said.

I sat on my white couch and before she could finish, I cut her line. I lost my appetite. I was too tired to think about relationships anymore. I took one gulp of red wine and went to change in my pajamas. The doorbell rang.

"Who could it be," I muttered as my eyelids could not take another moment of opening.

I opened the door and saw an angel dressed in a polka dot dress covered in a sea of water background.

"Uh, what do you want now," I sighed.

"At least can I come in?" Keisha called out.

I let her in and she sat on the white couch.

"Andrew, you see, um, I really like you," she sighed as she touched my shoulder.

I flicked her hand away and stared at the coffee table whilst I clenched my jaw. She looked puzzled and continued...

"Anyway, that guy is Timmy, my ex-boyfriend," she admitted.

"I'm sorry for cheating on you," she said as she sat uncomfortably.

"Don't worry, I forgive you," I said without changing my facial expression.

"Yes great," she said.

"I'll see you tomorrow," she said as she ran her hand on my hairless, bulky chest.

I caught her hand before anything went wrong.

"Not like that," I said as I gave her a high five, "friend."

"Okay, I'm going home now," she said as she rolled her eyes and raised her hands in surrender.

"Close the door on your way out," I said as I stood up.

I closed the door mercilessly and went to sleep.

The morning rain woke me up. I bathed and took my coffee for work. The garage door opened and I decided to take the Porsche for a spin.

I was ready to go to work but Keisha was in my head and I couldn't focus well. Just then my parents called from across the seas to check if I was okay.

"Yeah mom, dad, I'm alright," I said faking a smile.

"Talk to you later, son," they said.

The phone call ended. I brushed my hair backwards and opened the window to let the fresh air flood in. I really missed Keisha.

"Hello, Doc." Tony called out down the hallway.

"Hello, Tony," I called back.

"So, how is Keisha, "he smiled.

"I don't know, ask the boyfriend," I said clenching my jaw.

"Ooh, I'm sorry," he added.

"Me too," I replied.

"So he doesn't want to see you no more," Lorna laughed.

"Yeah," Keisha replied as she removed her Timberland boots.

"Where does this dude crib again?"

"Why?"

"Because he can't hurt my friend like that."

"Where are you going?"

"To his house!" she yelled as she slammed the door.

The Ford Ranger engine roared to life and disappeared into the evening fog.
