"I wasn't sneaking around, he came inside on his own."
Beverly rolled her eyes & laid on her stomach "sure, okay."
"I'm serious!"
"I believe you" she smirked & picked up the lipstick off her bed "besides that hickey on your neck."
I looked at her confused "Hickey?"
"Yeah, right there on your neck" she gave me her mini mirror & pointed at my neck.
I opened it & examine my neck. I gasped & covered my mouth. A big fat red hickey sits on the side of my neck. How come I didn't see that yesterday? What if mama red saw it? Oh god, she probably knows. She's just waiting for the right time to say it. This is so embarrassing.
"Oh no!"
She laughed "did mama red see it?"
"I don't know! I hope she didn't."
"Your a bad, bad girl solange."
"Shut up" I threw the mini mirror at her.
She kept laughing "your first hickey. I'm proud of you."
I rolled my eyes & leaned back on her red silky bed.
"I should've never let him in."
"He was gon' come in regardless. I'm telling you he's claiming you."
"He is not my man & never will be."
"Ight, you say that now but wait until later."
I sat up straight "this is horrible. I'm getting involved with a drug dealer. Let along accepting a gift from a drug dealer. Oh god, I can imagine how mad mama red is going to be."
"You've been around mama red too much. She got you acting like a Jehovah Witness person" she sat up too "look, all I'm saying is you need to live your life. Fuck what mama red is telling you. Of course, Michael is dangerous & cryptic but its your choice whether you wanna be with him or not. I might've had some doubts about him too but that doesn't matter. Now, if you chose to be with him. I'm going to support you 100%."
All I can think about is my mother. Make my own decisions. I'm already involved with him from the jump. Looks like there's no way of turning back either. Am I really about to risk my life for a man? Wow, I am really going crazy here.
"Give me a while to think about that."
"Okay, i'll wait."
"Besides, I need to think about how am I going to hide this hickey from mama red."
She giggled "just put some ice on it & cover it with makeup. Mama red won't expect a thing."
"Yeah, well you know how nosey she is."
She scoffed "oh god don't remind me."
I laughed "remember when the kids on the school bus used to called her "mouth from the south"?"
She burst out laughing "oh my god, that shit was hilarious. When she came out that apartment in her pink robe & matching slippers."
