Here's today's excerpt:
“Hello, Mrs. Hammer, is now a good time for me to come over?”
“No,
mother isn’t feeling well. Can’t you just tell me what you need to say over the
phone?”
I told her that I hadn’t talked to Danny but that I heard
from a friend of his that he was okay.
“Is
that it? You were going to come all the
way here to tell me that? I don’t know what you’re up to…”
“I don’t
live very far from you plus I like handling business face to face whenever
possible. I do apologize if that is an
inconvenience for you.”
“It’s
not so much an inconvenience, I just don’t true a lot of people.”
I wanted to scream laughter in her ear. I couldn’t believe that
statement came from the lips of a woman who was not trusted by her own mother.
“Please
give my well wishes to Mrs. Long. I’ll
be in touch.” Like white on rice baby.
Now that was the kind of woman that drove a person to drink,
not that I needed an excuse. I opened
the fridge and a bottle of apple vodka looked out at me.
I heard you had a main chick, a mistress and some hoes. You be up to no good and everybody knows. My homegirls tried to warn me, they tried to let
me know. But what you got I need a lot so I can’t let you go.
I woke up at 1:00 am covered with sweat. Whew, I had forgotten to turn the air on when
I got home. Those dreams were really starting
to get on my nerves. I couldn’t really
tell who the dream was about because everyone’s faces were blurry. I was at a house party and that J. Cole song
was playing. I was dancing with some
faceless dude and he kept grabbing my ass.
I didn’t know the guy from Adam so eventually I punched him and ran out
of the house. It was very hot outside
and I wasn’t sure where I was running to because nothing around me looked
familiar. All of a sudden a bunch of
women were chasing me telling me to leave they man alone. Before I could find out who they were
talking about I woke up.
Damn, I hadn’t had one man in over a year so I sure hadn’t
had 20. I looked at my phone, still no text from Jason. Maybe my imagination was telling me something
was up with that cat. I guess I would
find out soon enough.
After I got cooled off I climbed back into bed and prayed
that no more dreams would plague me for the rest of the night.
