A Chicago Love Story

A Chicago Love Story (Part 37)

I heard my alarm ringing the next morning so I reached for my phone and cut it off. Von sat up and rubbed his eyes then I said "You ain't gotta get up." Von: "Where you goin?" Me: "I gotta go to work today.." Von: "Imma go witchu. I might as well come in early." Me: "What time she gotchu scheduled for?" Von: "An hour after you." Me: "Oh ight." I got up and let Bug out then I went in the bathroom and brushed my teeth. I went back in my room and changed into something else then I brushed my hair. Von was putting deodorant on when I came back in then he sprayed cologne on his neck. Me: "Smellin all daddy-ish 😏" Von: "You stupid." I put my shoes on then walked downstairs to let Bug out. Daddy was in the living room watching the news with his hand on his chin. Me: "You good..." Daddy: "Mhm.." I opened the door and watched Bug run out in the yard. He started rolling around in the grass and barking at somebody across the street so I just took him back in. Me: "Youn eva know how to act right. Daddy can you take him out later?" He nodded and I seen Von coming down the steps. Von: "I'm ready." Me: "Ight hollon." Daddy: "Gimme da dog." Me: "Okay..." I handed him the dog and said "You sure you ight?" He nodded and said "Go on to work." I looked at Von and he said "Just come on." We walked out and got in his car then he drove us to the mall. We got out and walked in then I seen Q in the back. Q: "HEY BITCH." Me: "Hi 🤣" Q: "Gurl where was you yesterday??" Me: "It was my day off." Q: "Ugh it was boring here. I ain't have nobody to talk to cus Maurice ain't come in. Anywhoo I need to talk to you." He stared at Von and said "Imma steal her for a second." I handed Von my stuff and said "Can you put this up for me." Von: "Fasho." He walked in the back then Q said "Okay so girl you rm what I told you the other day?" Me: "Yeah." Q: "Well bitch I took yo advice or whatevaa and he said he was feeling me backkkk" Me: "Awww." Q: "I'm just so scared to be around him now.." Me: "Well until yall decide on what to do, just act like it ain't happen. If y'all avoid each other it's gon fuck up ya friendship and the possibility of a relationship." Q: "Bitch I love you. I stg I would be so lost without you." Me: "You know I gotchu 😂. I got something I needa talk to you about tho." Q: "Is it a secret?" Me: "Yes." Q: "Ouuuu okay I promise I won't tell. What is it?" Me: "I might be pregnant..." His eyes got real big and he said "Who's da daddy?" Me: "What? 🤣 Who you think it is?" Q: "AWWW OMGG" Me: "Shhh! Ion know if I am tho..." Q: "I'm finna be da godfather. Actually nah fuck dat imma be Uncle Q 😌" Me: "Bruh 😭" Q: "Okay imma be serious now. Is that why you was throwin up so much?" Me: "I think... the doctor posed to be calling later on today or tomorrow." Q: "Don't get mad but I personally hope you pregnant." Me: "Why 😂" Q: "Cus y'all gon have some pretty ass babies." I seen Von coming over and I said "Shh he comin.' Q turned around and said "Oh heyy." Von: "Wassup.. You good Lai?" Me: "Yes." Kim and Maurice walked in and Q said "Oh lawd.." I started laughing and said "Good luck boo! 🤣" He stuck  his middle finger up and said "Go on somewhere." Kim came up to me and gave me a hug then she said "You look a lot better than you did the other day lil mama." Me: "I feel better." Von: "Cus of me" Kim: "Nigga please you ain't do shit." Von: "Maybe not in the store, but when we got home I did." Kim started cackling and I said "He's playing...." She walked off and I smacked him in his chest. Me: "You play too much." He started laughing and said "Uh huh."

By the end of the day, I was tired and Von was pissed off. I clocked out and waited on Von to come out of the break room. Q walked out and said "Whew chile he is PISSED. You betta let him be for a lil bit." Me: "What happened?" Q: "Ion know but he back there slammin shit and cussin." Me: "Yeah it's time to get him tf out..." I went in the back and Von was trying to open the locker but he was struggling so he started punching it. Me: "Von." He look up and said "What?" I twisted the handle and pulled it open and he grabbed his stuff. Me: "You good?" Von: "Do it look like it?" He slammed the locker and said "Just come on I'm ready to go." We walked out and I waved to Q then we went to his car. He stayed quiet the whole ride home and I said "Do you wanna talk bout what happened?" Von: "No." Me: "Are you sure.." Von: "Yes. Damn bruh." Me: "Ight. Yeen gotta have no attitude cus I ain't da mfn one for it." Von: "Stfu fr." Me: "Who you talking to? Yeen talkin to me." Von: "I'm not finna argue witchu." Me: "Den lose yo mfn attitude. I ain't do shit to you but ask you if you was okay." Von: "Yo ass see dat I'm inna bad mood so why would you ask a dumbass question like dat?" Me: "Cus I'm jus tryna make sure yo ass is straight but since you wanna act like dat I'm coo. Don't even worry bout it." We argued the whole way home then we got in the house and didn't talk to each other. I sat at the end of my bed as far away from him as I could cus I didn't wanna look at him. Mani came in and said "Heyy." Me: "Hey." Mani: "What's wrong? Y'all look mad." Me: "I'm good." Von: "Stop lyin." Me: "Stfu talkin to me." Mani: "Ookayyy... I'm not gon ask." Me: "How you feeling?" Mani: "I hadda lil headache earlier but I'm good now." Me: "You was outta pocket last night  🤣" Mani: "Huh?" Me: "Bitch you was drunk asf." Mani: "Oh yeah dat... Well I just wanted to come say hey cus I seen dat y'all was home. Oh Lai, did you ever get a call back?" Me: "No..." Mani: "Ight." She walked out and Von said "Call back from who?" Me: "Don't worry bout it." Von: "Tell me." Me: "No. Ion know why you think you get to yell and cuss at me any typa way then just expect me to act like it ain't happen." Von: "I ain't say dat I just wanted to know who tf she was talking bout." Me: "Just leave me alone cus I really don't wanna argue witchu." Von: "I ain't arguing I was jus asking a question." Me: "Okay whatever." I rolled my eyes and took my shirt off to change. I threw it in the hamper and sat on the edge of my bed. Von: "Yeen gotta sit all the way down there just cus you mad." I ignored him and he tapped my back with his foot. Me: "What?" Von: "I know you hear me." Me: "I do." Von: "Den say sum." Me: "Why are you still doin this?" Von: "Doing what?" Me: "It feel like you tryna keep the arguement going." Von: "I'm tryna let yo ass know dat yeen gotta sit on the edge of yo bed in yo house." Me: "Well lemme do me and you sit right there and do you. Ain't no need for a discussion" Von: "Ion even know why you in yo mfn feelings cus ain't shit happen to you." Me: "Nigga I ain't in my fuckin feelings. You done pissed me off cus youn know how to communicate." Von: "Da fuck is you talkin bout?" Me: "All you hadda say was that you was in a bad mood and ain't wanna talk about whatever happened at work but no yo ass feel the need to come at me cussin and shit." Von: "Okay but look at what da fuck you doin right na." Me: "Nigga what??" Von: "You ain't communicating either. Sittin on the edge of the bed being all pissy ain't gon do nun." Me: "Nigga I'm sitting there being "pissy" cus ion wanna keep no shit going but here you go. Stirring the mfn pot." Von: "I ain't keepin shit going Lai. You just fuckin delusional." Me: "Can you just stfu? Like fr I'm done talking to you. You really pissin me off and I'm tryin my hardest not to cuss you out or hit you." Von: "Any other time you keep shit going so what da hell changed?" Me: "Von I'm not doin this." He got up and sat next to me then he said "Gon head and hit me." He tapped his face and I said "Move." Von: "Dats wdf I thought." Me: "Stfu cus I-" Von: "You ain't gon do shit." Me: "Yk what just get da fuck out. I'm fr. Get all yo shit and go cus I'm not bout to do dis." He laid back on the bed and said "Nope." I stared at him and crossed my arms then he said "Ion give a fuck, you can mean mug me all you want to." Me: "Get tf out." He ignored me and got on his phone. I grabbed his feet and tried pulling him off the bed but it didn't do much. Me: "Get tf out! You think I'm playin and I'm not. Get all yo lil shit and get out." Von: "Thought you did sum huh? 😂" I picked up his shoes, shirt and keys and threw them at the door and said "Go." Von: "Fuck is wrong witchu?" Me: "I wantchu to get tf out." Von: "Oh you fr?" Me: "Yea. You doin too much and I'm not bout to sit here and argue witchu." Von: "I'm doin too much? Me?? You da one that's throwin shit around." Me: "And I fuckin told you that I'm not tryna argue and you keep tryna get me all worked up for what? You wanna get me mad? Dis what's finna happen." Von sucked his teeth and said "Nigga ain't nobody tryna getchu mad." Me: "Well dats wtf it look like." Von: "I'm not worried bout you havin a lil attitude or nun of dat shit." Me: "Fuck you nigga. I ain't have no mfn attitude until you started yappin." Von: "Man whatever." He still laid there on the bed and ignored me. Me: "Get tf up and go. I'm serious." Von: "Leave me alone." Me: "If youn get tf up imma whoop yo ass." He cleared his throat and stared at his phone. I picked up my shoe and threw it at him then I said "Get tf out!" Von: "Quit throwin shit at me!" Me: "Fuck you! Get out!" Mani came in and said "What da hell goin on?" Von: "Getcho fuckin cousin man!" Me: "You make me sick. Get. tf. out." Mani: "What happened?" Me: "Nothing." Mani: "It don't look like nothing..." Me: "I'm gone." Von: "Where tf you goin?" Me: "Leave me alone." He got up and pulled at my arm, trying to make me turn around and I hit him in the face. Mani: "Lai!" Me: "I told you to leave me tf alone." She pushed me and Von away from each other and Von said "Dats how it is?" Me: "Mhm." Mani: "Look yall need to jus stay away from each other for a lil bit." She pulled me out of my room and made me go in her room. Mani: "Girl what da fuck happened." Me: "He had a funky ass attitude and when I asked him what was wrong, he started to pop off for no reason. I ain't do shit to him." Mani: "So why was you hittin him?" Me: "I threw a shoe at him and dat was it until he grabbed my arm." Mani: "Okay but why'd you do it?" Me: "Cus I'm telling him to leave and he won't. He keeps testing me like I'm not gon do nun." Mani: "Y'all crazy." Me: "I was fine until he started fw me. I ain't care bout him bein in his lil mood or nun." Mani: "Both of y'all stressed out and it can cause a lot of problems between y'all but Lai, you can't just stand in there and argue wit him cus it ain't gon do nun but make it worse." Me: "I know but he be makin me so mad I just wanna-" Mani: "Calm down 😭" I sighed and put my hands over my face. I heard Bug scratching at the door so I got up but Mani said "I'll get him. You and Von don't need to be around each other rn." She walked out and shut the door and I sat on her bed.
