Chapter 2
What do I do now?
After my almost panic attack, I went to the parking lot in search of my 'Ugly Betty'
Yes I indeed named my car after a television show, if you've seen the show or my car you would know why I named it that. Don't get me wrong the car is a good model it's just how do I put it "on it's last breathe" the car needs a lot fixing up and I mean a lot.
Let me give you a brief description.
First the paint on my car is coming off.
Second there are at least three dents on it and I'm not talking about small ones.
Thirdly the radio only has two god damn channels, like really.
I do very much love her even with a raggedy engine she takes me anywhere I want to go, but if you go to far she'll shut down 'typical Ugly Betty' so I can't complain that much. Plus she was the cheapest off the lot.
Enough about my car.
Finally searching high and low for about six minutes I find her, I get in and crank her up which took a while. Told you she is old have to give it a little time for her to wake up. as soon as she comes to life I ride off into the sunset. Kidding, but if only that would be cool though 'ET 2'. I leave out the parking lot and went straight home not caring to look at the building as I pass it.
...............
Upon arriving at my apartment, I go in and immediately start taking off my clothes.
'What? They weren't comfortable and besides it's not like I'm going somewhere.'
I grab the clothes from off the leaving room floor and head to my room, throwing them in my laundry basket next to my closet.
My room is not all big, but it has enough space for my queen sized bed, a dresser and floor length mirror.
I go towards my dresser and take out some boy shorts and a long T shirt that stops to my mid thighs. I come out of my room and head straight for the kitchen, I open the refrigerator and pulled out some ice cream, while looking at the clock that's on the oven that showed the time.
" Wow it's 12:50pm Already" I say to my self.
Deciding to not eat the ice cream I put it back into the freezer and instead grab a frozen pizza, popping it in the oven. After that I go back to the living room to watch tv as I wait on my food to get done and plopping down on the couch, which made me bounce up a bit from it. Grabbing the remote from off the small coffee table, I press the power button on the remote and when the screen powers on my favorite show comes into view. This just made a girl happy, they done put on my show 'Empire' yassss!! I just f*****g love "Cookie Lyon" well Taraji P. Hensen.
As I was watching the reruns, I hear my phone going off. " Man my phone would want to ring when its on a good part in a show." I did not want to get up, but eventually I did cause the ringing didn't stop. With a sigh I get up from the couch and run to my room where I hear my phone ringing. I look at the caller I.D. and s**t it's my cousinoommate calling me.
'Yup I share an apartment with my loud mouth cousin, when I mean loud I mean she doesn't have a filter and you can't tell her anything without her telling the whole world, and she just loud period. Sometimes I be thinking if I made the right choice of Renting a place with her.'
Anyways, I answer the phone and I immediately regret it, cause all I hear is her loud ass.
'My poor Ears.'
Convo;
Keke: What up b***h!!
Me: Damn! Why you always got to be loud.
Keke: "Well my... she stops talking mid sentence like she realizes something. Oh s**t I forgot you was at work still."
(Work) was the only word that kept repeating in my head when she said that. 's**t she can't find out I quit my job, her loud mouth ass gone tell everybody.' I thought to my self, so I did the most stupidest thing ever to say out of panic.
Me: Nah you good I actually got released early.
Keke: Oh for real why?
Me: "I um.. I hesitate trying to think of something to say that won't give away my lie I'm telling her, finally coming up with a lie I say. I'm leaving with my boss for a business trip, he wants me to go with him. So he said I can leave work early to pack my clothes."
There was silence at the other end of the line for a few seconds that felt like hours and didn't help at the fact that I was holding my breath waiting for her to respond.
Finally able to breathe when my cousin says.
Keke: Ight then that's wassup I guess, but anyways I just called to tell you I'm not coming home tonight.
I sigh in relief when she don't catch on to my lie. 'Hah she bought it' I say in my head as I do a little victory dance.
I asked her where she was going to keep the conversation going, to not hang up on her too quickly or she really might get suspicious.
This was her response when I asked her where she was going' and yall when I say she is nasty yall just don't know. She says." If you must Deon is taking me out on a little datey date and when we get to his house I'ma let him dive in this good good for dessert."
Deon I murmur. Deon is KeKe's monthly flavor I guess, cause I never heard his name before or have I don't know I can't keep up with those guys names for nothing.
Me: Oh my god I did not need to know all that.
She laughed. "Gurl be quiet with yo virgin ass, when you lose it you wouldn't be saying that now would you." she bust out laughing at her own joke.
So just to make her mad II may virgin and proud to be exact but at least my punani ain't loose and I started singing Lil Boosie Badazz verse ' Loose ass a goose.' She got mad and hung up. I bust out laughing. In the middle of me laughing my ass off I smelled my pizza. I ran into the kitchen taking out my pizza which was suprisingly not burnt. Good cause I'm hungry.
