"Then Maw she so damn pretty." I smirked. "I really got the prettiest girlfriend."
"Had the prettiest girlfriend." Maw corrected making me nod in agreement.
"You know what else was pretty?" I perked up, biting my lip.
"Boy." She hit me with the rag she had in her hand. "I don't wanna hear about that."
I chuckled, throwing my head back in laughter. "I meant to say that in my head. My fault."
"I miss it though. I miss her."
"So what the fuck did you break up with her for stupid?"
"Why you gotta be mean about it?" I scrunched up my face.
"Al'Malik." The tone in her voice let me know she was serious.
I didn't say anything, collecting my thoughts to make sure i said the right thing.
"I just don't want her to leave me."
"So you leave her.."
"Before she can leave me." I finished off for her.
"Baby you gotta stop thinking everybody out to get you. Did she ever make you feel like she'd leave you?"
"No. She always had my back." I admitted.
"See you going about this whole relationship thing wrong. You can't give her all you got cause you thinking of all the possible ways it can go wrong. You got problems with commitment but sometimes in life we just have to let go, you feel me crip?"
"Yeah I feel you thug." I chuckled, thinking a lil bit. "She think I'm messing wit another female."
"How the hell? Are you?"
"Hell nawl. Just a lil misconception."
"Spell it."
"Girl you know I barely know what it mean." I waved her off. "We was on the phone and some girl that be around started talking and she thought I was talking to her. Like she was my shorty or some."
"Who the girl?"
"Some lil wet named Poison. I barely know ol girl but she like to think she funny." I frowned thinking bout her.
"Poison?" She raised her eyebrows.
"Same thing I said."
"Well have you tried talking to her?"
"Of course I tried. Ion want her thinking I'm fucking round on her when I ain't. She ain't tryna hear shit I'm saying though."
"Give her time." She smirked at me.
"You tryna be funny?" I frowned.
"No." She shrugged. "She honestly needs time. She probably hurt."
"I don't know what for when that ain't the case."
"She don't know that."
"She could if she'd just hear me out."
"Would you want to hear her out?"
"She a be dead Maw ion even play like that." I shook my head.
"Boy." She popped my shoulder.
"I remember she a be calling a nigga back to back now she won't even answer her phone." I frowned.
"Back to back? Why she acting like that? She making the team look bad." Maw scrunched her face up.
