Rendezvous at Silver Lining

Divinity's POV: Heffas

I get home, take off my clothes, and head to the bathroom to wash my face and take a shower. I let the heat of the water and pressure ease the day away. I get out and walked into my room. I have a bathroom in my bedroom. I moisturized my body and put on some perfumed oil. I put on an army green sports bra with some black cotton short shorts and threw on an oversized white t-shirt, some blue printed knee-length socks, and my glasses. I have a pretty decent apartment. My bedroom is big. I have a queen size bed on a large black wood frame, with tall posts on each corner. I have cream and forest green sheer bed drapes along the perimeter of the bedpost that falls close to the floor. I even have a small foot stool that looks like steps in front of my bed so I can get into my bed easily. On the wooden floor, there is a pretty deep green fluffy carpet and a cream tall dresser. The TV is mounted on the wall over top of my dresser. The door to my bathroom is to the right of my dresser, and to the right of that door is my bedroom closet. I actually have 2 balconies, one in my bedroom facing the wooded area behind the building with a pond and one in my living room facing the city. My whole place was decorated in warm colors of burgundies, tan, black, and browns with some accents of dark greens, with dark wooden panel floors… As you can tell, I love green.

If you walk into my apartment, you're met with an open floor space. The kitchen is to your left. Big stainless steel appliances, low hanging lights above the island with 3 comfy bar chairs and small lined lights in the ceiling. In front of the kitchen, you have my living room. I have a four piece black couch set with a single lounger chair closer to the double doors leading to the balcony. A beautiful throw rug, filled with patterns of different shades of reds, greens, and browns with a mahogany coffee table on top. There are end tables on either side of my couch. In front of the couch along the wall is a tv stand with a 75-inch flat screen, a stereo set on either side. If you stood in front of the TV and looked right, there's a small hall. There's a full bathroom, and next to it is a closet where I keep my towels and extras stuff. The last door in this hall is my room. I have paintings and word art up on all my walls. My balconies are both decorated with Christmas lights and have soft chairs. As I said before, I'm creative, and at times, I sit on the balcony and write, draw, or paint. Sometimes, I just listen to the sounds of the city and let the music play. If I'm really in the box of creativity, I may write a lyric or two. I love my apartment. It definitely brings me peace and is so comfortable. I'm also a movie junky, so I gotta have the setup, which I do.

It's the beginning of fall, so it gets dark a little faster. I had some music on, the lights dimmed, and my balcony door opened. I was in the kitchen making myself some dinner when I got a text on my phone. It was from the group chat Kris, Robin, and I are in.

These damn heffas.

Phone messages:

Kris: Heeeyyy babies!!

Binny: Heeeyyy loves

Kris: I know that hoe sees us messaging her.

Binny: Mmhmm. She just doesn't want us to tell her ass to call that sexy billionaire.

Kris: HOLD THE f**k UP!!! That man you told me about is a billionaire and this b***h tryna whisper.

Binny: HAHAH yeps!!! And she knows he wants her… And if she don’t start responding, Imma tell you what she told me earlier today about our boss.

Me: OK Ok!! Damn yall annoying.

Binny: Yeahhh. I knew that would get you talking. I knew you were gonna tell her anyway and that you wanted to be the only one to do it, you little freak.

Me: Screw you Binny!

Binny: That's what you should be doing to Damien.

Me: LMFAO… yeah we don't take nothing serious.

Kris: Uhhh hello!!!! What's the tea?

Me: PSSSHHH… Where do I even begin?

Kris: Gurl, idc, just start.

Binny: Sis, grab the popcorn and a drink!!!

Me: LOL. Ok. In the beginning, on a beautiful day…

Kris: GURL STOP f*****g PLAYING!!!

Binny: HAHAH

Me: Hahah ok. Today was a piece of work. I had to borrow our boss's laptop cause mine decided to bend me and screw me over, cause it just stopped working. I went and told McCoy and he let me borrow his. Later, I went to take it back and I have permission to knock and enter his office. Usually the b***h, Sarah, is at her tower blowing her flaming breath on everyone but she wasn't there at the time. So, I knocked and opened the door and his ass had her ass twisted like a pretzel at Auntie Anne's. A b***h just froze and he saw me and continued to watch me watch them. Mannnn, when he came, I left. Screw the laptop, I'm taking my ass home. Damn near had a stroke, just to go back to the cafe where I left Binny, and she was with Damien's fine ass. Like, your gurl couldn't catch a break!! He basically massaged my leg in front of everyone and I was just done at that point. Just for Binny to tell me, he gave his number to her, for her to give to me. And we're here now. Also, I HATE YOUR STINKING GUTS FOR MAKING ME WHERE THIS CRAP TODAY!!! Cause damn, you'd think I showed up to work naked or something, with all the eyes glued to my ass.

Kris: …

Me: Well someone say something??!

Kris: Damn, hold up. I needed to gather my chin up off the floor for a sec and stop choking on my popcorn cause damn!!!

Binny: Told ya. This s**t is juicy.

Kris: Juicy??!! Naw baby, this that extra deluxe ocean gush.

Me: HAHAH. What does that even mean lol?

Kris: It means that's crazy work!!! You ok sis? I know you and can almost imagine you freaking out.

Binny: That's exactly what happened. Damien basically proposed to her in the meeting today.

Kris: WHAT!! Ok. What y'all doing tonight cause I need to see faces.

Me: I'm making some dinner right now.

Binny: Ooooh whatcha makin Vin?

Me: I really wanted some baked fish, greens, and baked Mac. So I'm just cheffing it up tonight.

Kris: On the way.

Binny: You're disrespectful as hell, gonna make the goods and not say anything. I'm coming too. I'm bringing snacks!!

Kris: I got the drinks!!

Me: Oh boy… I'll see ya’ll shortly.

End of phone messages.

Well, now I gotta make more and prepare for these two crazy wenches. I smiled knowing tonight was about to be on some ish and I couldn't wait.

The baked mac was already in the oven and I just put the fish in the oven, since it doesn't take as long for that to be cooked. My greens were on the stove when there was a buzz on my doorbell from the lobby. I jumped to the door to let my friends in by buzzing them up. I headed back to the kitchen to check on the food in the oven and my greens on the stove. A knock came from my front door and I went and opened it. I threw the door open with all smiles, believing it to be my babies, but I never expected to see this person at my door.

"Mr. McCoy?"

"Good evening, Ms.Loore."

How the f**k did I end up in this situation? First of all, girl, you black, we don't just buzz people in and open doors without asking who it is… and this is what happens when you do, dummy. Is it too late to pretend I'm not here??
