Damage

A City Girl Birthday

November 18th

After a long night of crying her eyes out Toyomi finally fell asleep, she rolled over in bed the next morning to the sunlight shining bright through her large bedroom windows. Her phone was buzzing out of control with text messages, missed calls, and social media notifications nothing from Milan though but she smiled anyway happy that it was her birthday.

She slid out of bed yawning and stretching before she walked to the bathroom to wash her face and brush her teeth "Alexa play my Birthday playlist" she spoke out loud to the speaker making the music fill the room Doja Cat Juicy started playing she sang along twerkin in the mirror she felt good

Tamara got her a spa day for her birthday so that's where she getting ready to head off to, she put on a Nike tech sweat suit because she just wanted to be relaxed until her party later. She was putting on her jacket to leave when she saw the box from Kylie that Milan told her take last night

She sat down on the couch picking up the little rectangular box, she removed the white ribbon from the teal box and lifted the top off, it revealed a platinum bracelet with 2charms on it one charm was a half piece of French toast the other one was a T for her name she smiled to herself as she pulled out her phone to Facetime Kylie's IPad

Kylie answered right away "Happy Birthday Toi" she sang into the camera making Toyomi burst out into a fit of laughter "Thank you Ky and I LOVE my bracelet it's beautiful" Toyomi smiled big "Damn Keisha I just texted you we on the way" she heard a deep voice say in the background

"Language Daddy, it's not even Mommy it's Toi" Kylie looked up from her IPad "Oh" was all she heard in the background "I have to go now my Daddy is rushing me, see you soon" Kylie said waving her hands "Bye Kylie thank you so much for the gift, be good" she waved back at her before ending their Facetime

Toyomi still didn't understand what went wrong between her and Milan she figured maybe he had another girl it didn't matter to her though she was done crying for him especially on her birthday. She was startled out of "Milan Land" by her phone ringing again this time it was a blocked number she thought maybe it was her uncle calling from jail so she picked up "Hello" she answered the phone as she got in her cab to go to the spa "Happy Birthday Baby" Tarik's voice filled her ears

"Please stop calling me Tarik" she shook her head at the phone "Why? What I upset your little boyfriend?" he questioned "Huh" she said scrunching her face up

"Yea some nigga was leavin' your apartment last night I had to tell him fall back" he spoke proudly "WHAT! Tarik don't EVER call or come by my house again, I have no problem calling the police on your ass" she yelled before hanging up.

Now it all made sense why Milan broke up with her, but she wasn't about to call him and beg him to listen to her side of whatever story Tarik told him if he wanted to give up on them so quick maybe he wasn't the one she thought to herself

Mia's eyes fluttered open around noon time she tried to get out of bed but Rashadd had his forearm wrapped around her neck "where you goin'" he asked half sleep "I have a lot of stuff to do today remember?" she moved his arm from around her neck and got out the bed to pack a little duffle bag to get ready for that night at Toi's house she was so happy to get away from him for the day last night's events kept playing over and over in her head.

After she crept in the house at 3:30am Rashadd was all up under her he wanted to have sex but she just couldn't she told him she felt really sick. She thanked god he didn't press her after she said that, but tonight she wasn't gonna be worried about the troubles of her marriage she was going to have a good time and enjoy herself at Toyomi's party. Mia didn't even shower or dress for the day she just threw on some jeans and a tee-shirt before grabbing her duffle bag to leave the house she just wanted to be far away from her husband right now

"Rashadd I'm leaving, remember I'm staying the night at Toi's tonight call or text if you need something" she looked at him still laid up in bed "So I don't get a Kiss?" he sat up Mia mentally rolled her eyes as she leaned down on the bed to kiss his lips before leaving the house "Love you Baby" he yelled out after her "Me too" she yelled back letting the front door slam behind her
