♡ Chapter 4 ♡

It’s two days later, and I decided to do a dumb thing this morning before work.
I messaged Jordan on Snapchat.
Just a hey, how’s it going? It’s a simple message, but the fucker left me on read.
“How do you do it Lilly?” I asked my coworker.
“Do what Alicia?” She asks me while looking at me.
“Find a good man.” I explain to her.
She laughs.
“Well, just know that all men have flaws, like us women.” She explains to me.
“Yeah, and I hope that Chris has something wrong with him, because so far he’s really great.” I say while thinking about the said person.
“Eh, he’ll show his flaw eventually.” She tells me.
“Yeah.” I agreed.
Then got back to doing my work.
~♡~♡~
Later that night, I walk inside my apartment and close and lock the door from behind me.
I made my way inside the kitchen and open the fridge, I grabbed some of my leftover white steamed rice from last night. I then grabbed a bowl from the cabinet, and then poured the whole leftover rice in that.
Once I put it in the microwave and timed it, I noticed a sticky note attached to the side of our dark red microwave, and it’s from Kennedy.
Alicia, I’ll be away for a few days for some summit for my work, hold the fort up for me while I’m gone, love you boo! -Ken-Ken.
I laughed at what she called herself.
I haven’t called her that in so long, I forgot I even did it in the first place.
This kept making me smile, and once I heard the microwave beep, I then took my bowl out, and then grabbed a fork from the silverware drawer, and then grabbed my cherry Coca-Cola can from the refrigerator.
I made my way in my living room and sat down on the couch and turned on the television.
I then put my bowl and Coca-Cola can down on the side table that was by the couch, then turned on the lamp that was sitting on the side table, then after turning on my lamp, I then opened my Coca-Cola can and stood up.
“I got to change into something more comfortable.” I say while walking out of the living room and going inside my bedroom.
I took my shoes and work clothes off, and then unclipped my bra, and threw on my oversized white Victoria’s Secret t-shirt, it’s a small, but it makes me look like I was wearing a f*****g night gown.
I then walked up to my purse that was sitting on the dining table and grabbed my phone from there.
Then took it with me back to the living room.
Once I took my seat, I then started to look for anything that is good playing.
When I found that one of my favorite Disney movies is playing, The Princess and the Frog, I clicked on it from the guide, and then put the remote down beside me on the couch, and next to my phone.
I grabbed my white steamed rice, and then started to eat and watch the movie.
~♡~♡~
I woke up to my phone buzzing, I realized that I fell asleep while still sitting on my couch, my right arm rest on the arm rest.
Then I grabbed my phone and saw an unknown number calling me.
“Hello?” I asked once I answered.
It was silent on the other end for a little bit.
“Hello, who is this?!” I ask starting to sound impatient.
Still silence, but I could hear some slight breathing.
Alright, this is clearly someone f*****g with me.
“I’m hanging up, have a good night.” I say pissed off.
“N-no, it’s me Alicia, it’s Jordan.” The voice informs me.
What in the actual f**k?
“How do you have my number?” I asked him agitated.
“You gave it to me Alicia.” He sighs, sounding tired.
“You still kept my number this whole time?” I asked him in shock.
“Yeah, I did.” He tells me softly.
He sounds a little, broken.
Well, that’s too damn bad.
“Oh cool, well it was nice talking to you.” I tell him.
I really don’t want to hear his stupid voice.
“Alicia wait, I need to talk to you.” Jordan says, sounding a little down.
“Oh my gosh, well what is it then?” I asked him with a huff.
“I-I’m moving near Orlando.” He informs me.
“Yeah, cool, whatever, to be close to her.” I tell him with a scoff.
“Well, um I actually,” But I cut him off.
“I don’t want to hear it Jordan, just leave me alone, that’s what you used to do to me most of the time, leave me on read.” I remind him, and then hang up.
I shake my head and then stand up.
The f*****g audacity of some people.
Just then, I hear my phone ring, yet again. I groan and then walk over to it.
I answer it, without looking at the caller ID.
“What the f**k do you want now?!” I asked the person in annoyance.
“Um, sorry girl, just wanted to see if you got my note.” Kennedy tells me with a slight chuckle.
“Yeah I did.” I sighed.
That dude just makes me so mad.
“Oh good, did something happen?” She asks me.
Oh, she knows me well.
“Jordan called me.” I tell her with a frown.
“Oh, well, want to talk about it?” She asked me.
“Nah, not tonight, I’ll start crying.” I chuckled.
“Okay girl, well good night.” She says.
“Night girl.” I tell her.
Then she hanged up.
“Oh Jordan, look what you made me do.” I say while rubbing my forehead temples.
