Kori

~ Three Days Later~

I sat on couch channel flicking through tv. I had just got done studying and doing homework and decided to relax. I kind of isolated myself after that whole thing with Dallas. I know I have no right to feel this way, but it hurt hearing those words out his mouth. But I was more mad then anything. Here I was thinking he had grown out of being a boy when in actuality he was the same boy playing the same games from high school. I was mad at myself for falling into his trap. After avoiding falling into his lies all through high school, i fall into them just like that as a grown ass woman.

I ignore his calls and barely reply to his text. I only give him one word responses. Why should I still talk to him when he clearly choose who he wanted to be with? Not to mention him lying to me about this girl. How can we even attempt to be friends if he just lies? Which is why I choose to just cut him off. If its not work related we dont have anything to say.

My phone beeped and I saw it was a text from Fox.

Fox 🦊- I'll be over in the morning to do your hair for the party.
Kori- You Know damn well you not.
Fox 🦊- 😩you know me so well. Ill be over around 3.
Kori- that sounds more like you. I still haven't found any shoes.
Fox 🦊- Bitch your birthday is tomorrow and you haven't found your shoes!? Get your ass up, imma come get you and you can take my car to find some shoes. Ill be there in 10.
Kori-Fine.

I got up and through on some leggings with a long sleeve shirt. I slide my nikes on and grabbed a baseball hat. By time I grabbed my jacket, Fox was outside. She drive back to her place and I hopped in the driver seat. I drove to 2 different malls and 3 different shopping centers. I was just about to give up until I saw a Lord and Taylor store. I pulled up and looked around the store. I looked on the clearance rack first. A girl always have to save her coin.

The first pair of shoes I saw were black pumps. They were simple,cute and in my price range. I tried one shoe on and they fit perfectly. I grabbed the box and looked around some more to see if I like anything else. After deciding there was nothing more, I checked out.

I heard my phone ringing as I walked out the store. I looked at my phone and answered.

Kori- Hello.
Damien-Hey chocolate how you doing?
Kori-Im ok what about you?
Damien-Im good just on my lunch break. I was wondering what you doing later?
Kori- nothing.
Damien- I get off work late but did you want to catch a late movie with me and a bite to eat.

I thought for a moment and figured there was no harm in going on a date.

Kori-Sure. Just tell me what time to be ready by.

We talked about the time, what movie to see and what to eat. After we hung up, I headed to Fox house to drop off her car. I knocked on her door and she invited me in.

Dakota-Let me see em.

I handed her the bag and she opened it way more excited about this then I was. She took out one shoe and went on and on about the outfit, the hair and blasé blasé.

Dakota-So is Dallas ganna be your date?

I haven't told Fox about anything that happened with Dallas. I wanted to bury it away from my mind.

Kori-No. but if you must know I do have a date later on. Maybe he'll be my date to my party.
Dakota-With who?
Kori-The guy from the mall few days ago.
Dakota-Oh he was a cutie. How Dallas feel about this?
Kori-Fuck Dallas.

I started getting irritated at the fact she kept bringing Dallas up. We're not married. Everything isn't about him. Dakota put her hand to her chest and her mouth dropped a little.
