Moving Through what Man Calls Love. By, SlaewMin Llezzib

Prologue Making his way to his uncles house, to be able to get rid of all this pent up rage that was just stirred up; over the most inconvenient irrelevance JahShaune(Jah-Shawn) couldn’t even make up. All that keeps going through JahShaune mind as he’s doing everything he possibly can to keep his dark marooned redish black 2017 dodge ram 1500 at cruse control. Another fact is that one min everyone in the room at ShyLynn’s house was all vibed out with everyone and everything around them and keeping the conversation they were having with whoever. “GOD DANGIT BRUH!!!!”, JahShaune says while dropping his last cigarette and nearly swerving into a mailbox that just came out of nowhere. Adding more to his stress; the same person that is the cause of all his rage, that needed to be let go away from where JahShaune was, ShyLynn’s place. Throwing his iPhone 13 in the passenger seat, finally pulling in to his house; which is in the middle of nowhere, but also is in a rural area where stores are at least 10 miles away. Laying his seat back after putting the truck in park; he lays back and takes a deep breath and then starts to tell himself “no one put hands on anyone. No one ended up in the hospital or jail. Peace was not disturbed with the neighbors, so cops were not called. Only thing that went wrong is the fact ShyLynn’s glitchy personality, being more than one person, going from laughing and having a good time and partaking of the recreational indulgences; to forgetting all but one person in the room and was not playing, but wholeheartedly had a personality glitch that forgot two years of living her life. If it was not for Big D remembering that ShyLynn said if that ever happened call her mom. f****d up part is after her mom got there to help with the situation, which got so bad that ShyLynn’s in the kitchen holding a knife and interrogating everyone; if you moved she came at you and said to you “stay the f**k where you’re at or I’m going to f*****g stab you, because I don’t feel safe in my home with people I don’t f*****g know. And I’ll just tell the law self defense and get away with it, bring it my property and I have a no trespass sign in the front yard.” Craziest thing is she mainly asked the questions to the one person she knew in that situation, Brayden, being her long time friend. When ShyLynn’s mom got there, after I snuck away successfully and told her she needed to come over it’s a code red; b***h wholeheartedly forgot everyone in the house out of nowhere except Brayden. I swear, when I snuck away and she didn’t even have me in her mind, guessing she’s the type of person who has to see you to add you in to what’s going on at the moment. Being someone; who is a friend that has the benefit of having s*x with ShyLynn’s nympho self, I decided to think she was really playing, because the whole room filled only with 7 people max go from good energy and everyone staying far from anything negative. So that being my mindset I come up to her saying “luv you’re just joking, put the knife down. And take a breather and slow down for a sec and ask yourself questions; questions like “how did I get here and what’s the last thing I remember?” And let’s go from there, because the whole room and energy went from good energy being a continuous vibe that was had; to everyone is trying to get you out of a flight or fight mode.” I got closer and she tried to cut me and with a full force slice at that, slicing a cut into my brand new shirt she bought me as a gift; because it reminded her of me and she said it’s something she knows will remind me of her and give a good laugh. Taking a breath and thinking if 15years of knowing ShyLynn is worth moving on and leaving her apart of the past that was learned from; or give another forgiveness speech that gets possibly no where. Last thoughts before going in and calling ShyLynn and talking about the future of their friendship. Asking him, JahShaune takes a breath and thinks to himself “Does the good outweigh the bad; simple yes or no and there we go.” Realizing and analyzing to see if the time spend was time that either went or time that was worth what was spent. Chapter One “Now ShyLynn, you’ve owned this bakery for seven years now. I’ve only known about ONE day and a half vacation; and that’s not even something you took for yourself, but to take your 150 fat cat to the vet for a check up.” “Jalenna, you already know that I’m the fuel that keeps this place going, even though you’re my qualified assistant manger, being here baking treats that put a smile on faces keeps me going and focused on things that aren’t in my past. Ya know.” “ShyLynn, if you don’t take a break, that’s well past overdue if I might add, I’ll fire myself and than you’ll be calling me begging for a vacation and for my return to work to take the load off.” ShyLynn taking a breath, because of the simple fact that her star employee and assistant manager who is one step lower than her, being the owner, was right; she really needed a vacation. But what in the world would she do or where would she go. She only has her cat and parrot to rely on her; which wouldn’t be hard to find a sitter for both, especially living in the city. “If I was to take a vacation, Jalenna, when can I leave and how long would you be able to survive without me?” “ShyLynn, I feel like I’m dreaming.” “Really, what in the world has you feeling that way Jaja?” “I must be dreaming because, YOU’RE ACTUALLY Contemplating a vacation. FINALLY FOR ONCE YOU ARE THINKING OF TAKING A BREAK FROM WORKING MONDAY THROUGH SUNDAY, even though we open 4 1/2 days a week and all holidays. I swear someone needs to pinch me.””OUUCH, what the heck was that for ShyLynn?” “You said pinch you. Ha! What else am I supposed to do? You had me thinking I was apart of your dream and not a real person for a second.” Both start dying laughing. It’s been a pretty breezy day, even though JahShaune didn’t feel like the breeze liked him very much. Looking up at the sky and squinting and cursing inside his head; because seeing no clouds and it being 2:35pm with a 13% chance of rain, JahShaune starts to realize something. “What the freak am I doing this labor work when I’m the boss man of this 7 man crew. Looking at his Apple Watch to check the time and some messages; JahShaune remembers that it’s 2:35pm and his crew worked past 12pm lunch break. When that being remembered; JahShaune gets in the work truck and starts rounding up his crew, at the same checking the work that’s been done. Being a supervisor to a crew of grass cutters who actually get s**t done is something JahShaune is something that keeps him positive about waking up and working hard to earn whatever pay the government ends up leaving him after taxes and bill is taken out of each check. After getting the last worker; JahShaune asks all in the truck where they’d prefer to eat. All of the crew wanted to get Chinese and Chinese that is new to their tastebuds. “JahShaune, you think we could try a bakery I’ve been hearing good reviews about that is right next to the Chinese restaurant we’re going to, so I’ve been told, but it’s my anniversary and I want to place a delivery or and a after work order.?” “CrazyT, your wife is someone I wouldn’t pick a fight with; even if I had to choose between a fight with her or a mother bear protecting her cub, the bear would be whooping my ass. lol”
