Pimp me out Mommy

Brat kept her promise as usual. She hit old girl up about getting us into the movie theaters. However, it was a catch. She wanted me to meet her to feel more "comfortable". Brat knew I wasn't really down with meeting new people. Considering the job opportunity however, I had to put my pride aside.

"So look Noni, don't trip, but I want you to meet the girl that's gonna plug us with the job." She randomly blurted.

I nonchalantly looked up from my phone and looked her in the eyes. I pushed her comforter off of me so I wouldn't get too hot.

"Okayyy?" I replied.

Brat grabbed her comforter and slid it over her legs. I guess I was hot and she was cold. She softly scoffed.

"Okayyyyy and I'm going to bring you to her house. Her name is Teresa." She explained.

The vibe had suddenly turned cold.

"Why are you breaking this news to me like she my girl and I'm about to meet her parents? When is this supposed to be happening?" I said.

"Girl boo it's not that. It's just that we have to go to her house and I know you be tripping about that stuff."

The irritation slowly increased within me. I was tensing up. Brat knows how uncomfortable this would make me. She can be inconsiderate at times. I didn't let this show though.

"Mhmm. When Brat?" I said shortly.

"Am I wrong Noni? But it's gonna be later on." She said.

I ignored her smartass question, and proceeded to address the second statement.

"And when is later on?" I pressed.

I could tell Brat was losing patience with me and my stone cold attitude. I just wanted her to get to the point.

"Like night time. Look, she's having a small kickback and I'm going to introduce you on some real chill shit." She tried to persuade.

I felt my throat tighten slightly. My heart began to pound. I choked on my words a bit.

"Wait a minute wait a minute wait a minute. A kickback? What the hell? Girl you know it's wrap." I laughed.

"It's really not that deep. What you scared of? You gone be with me. It's the weekend. Have some fun. It will be fun." She pressured.

"No it really is though. I'm not trying to do all of this for a job. I could get it on my own for real. Why would you spring this on me? When have you ever seen me at a kickback? This is not Friday, just because it's the weekend doesn't mean I wanna go to this girl's party or whatever it is. " I snapped.

"Um please relax. It's really not about the job to me either. It's not an issue to get it on my own either. I'm just trying to have a good time shit. I mean you're over here, I wanna have fun, and I want you to come. It's just a plus that it's her shit. It's called networking boop. I know it's not your scene or whatever, but if you wanna hold my hand you can." She shot back calmly.

"I'm for sure calm, but I'm just upset and nervous. I'ma go, but damn man. And networking? I wouldn't say all that. I don't need to hold your hand, but can we at least agree that if I get uncomfortable we can dip?" I inquired.

"Yeah, you won't though." She ensured.

I secretly felt like that was her subconscious way of saying I was going to stay regardless of my comfortabilty. I was so scared.
