"Wake the fuck up!!" Imani yelled in my ear
I groaned and turned over in my bed, "What the fuck?"
"Give me the details ho," she said as she got onto my bed and sat up waiting for me to talk.
"Could you not have waited until I woke up?"
"Do you not know what time it is?"
I grabbed my phone from my nightstand and double tapped it for the screen to turn on. It showed that it was 1:13pm which is way later than I usually wake up. It must have been the medicine I took right before I went to bed. I also noticed I had like 13 notifications from instagram but decided I would check it later.
"So start talking," Imani said as I turned back to face her.
I told her what happened and how I felt once he dropped me back off here.
"Oooou bitch. Yeah, you definitely fucked that up but maybe I can have him now because that nigga is finer than fine."
I rolled my eyes, "Anyways, what's the deal for today?"
She told me she wanted to go out to the mall and have dinner with me. It sounded like fun but it would have to be after I finished up the only client I had today at 2:30 and she said that she had to stop by her crib to get ready and check on some stuff.
"Alright, get out so I can get ready for this client that is gonna show up before I know it and you're distracting me."
"Yeah, yeah. Love you," she said as she walked out my room.
Before getting up fully, I picked up my phone to check all those notifications I had got from instagram.
They were all from him, Amari. He had sent me a couple of messages and then called me once he had seen that I wasn't responding to his messages. I kinda felt bad because I definitely thought that he would ghost me after last night but I wasn't ignoring him intentionally, I was dead asleep.
I messaged him to tell him that I was sorry for not responding and told him that I was asleep. Hopefully he didn't think I was giving him some weak ass excuse because I was telling him the truth.
Almost immediately after I sent the one short message, I got a call from him as if he was waiting for me to respond to him.
I let it ring a couple of times, contemplating if I should answer or not and on the 4th ring I finally answered, "Hello?"
"What took you so long to answer the phone?"
"Um... Im sorry," I kind of whispered. I know it was a pussy response after he just spoke to me like that and didn't even say hello.
Like the fuck?!?!
But Im not the type of person to really give you attitude especially if I just met you. I feel like I am kind of a people pleaser when I first meet people and then once I get comfortable with them I can be sassy or whatever I'm feeling like being.
"Right. Anyways, I think I remember asking you to do something for me last night. Do you remember what I asked you to do?"
His tone was kind of condescending even though he wasn't raising his voice at me or anything, there was still a tone in his voice. "Yeah.." I started fiddling with my fingers like a fucking child like stand the fuck up hoe. There was just something in me that didn't let me be all tough and shit.
"Why didn't you do it, mami?"
"I thought that after the way I acted last night, that I had ruined it and you wouldn't actually want to hear from me. I thought you were just being nice so I just went to bed."
"I wouldn't have said anything if I didn't want to keep talking to you. Next time please message me so I can make sure that you made it in your place safely"
I had a little smirk on my face and his voice was making me feel that thing in my stomach again but I just met this guy and he was probably acting all charming to get in my pants or something.
"Ok"
"Ok. Now what you got planned for the rest of the day?"
"Um, well I just woke up because I took my medicine right before I went to bed which kept me knocked out, then I got to get ready for a client to come at 2:30 and then Imani and I were planning on going out tonight."
"Well I'll probably check in with you during the day. What time do you think you'll get back home tonight?"
"No offense but I did just meet you not too long ago and I still don't know your full intentions with me so I don't mind us still keeping in contact but you gotta let me know your goal with me," I said kind of standing my ground a little.
"I understand, mami. I know it's still early but I'm gonna make you mine one day but for now we can take it as slow as you want, whether that's just being friends for now or starting to build something. Anyways I just want to make are you're safe and I was wondering if I could come see you tonight?" he kind of said with a question mark at the end of his sentence.
"Oh um..." I didn't really know what to say because how was he just so blunt about it. I kind of liked it though. "Well we're going to do a bit of shopping and then go to dinner so I'll probably be home by 10 if you wanna stop by or sum," I mumbled the last part.
"Sorry, didn't catch that last part."
"Nothing, never mind," I said as I got up and made my way into my bathroom to freshen up.
He chuckled, "Im just messing with you. I'll make sure to stop by but when I message you, Im gonna expect an answer Alaysia."
"Mk," I hung up.
"Damnnn," I yelled to myself and started to get ready for my client to come. I had about 30 minutes before she would be here.
