"You've always liked them," Ace says
"That's a lie,"
"Alexis? Candice? Andrea? Tae?. What do they all have in common?,"
"Tall, basketball, dreadhead, stoner," I respond in a whisper.
"Exactly, it's okay to like mops,"
"MOPS!!??," I scream and start laughing.
Screaming.
I get off my stool and hit the floor still screaming.
I hear Ace wheezing and trying to catch her breath.
"That's so disrespectful not a mop," I say wiping tears from my eyes.
"I didn't lie though," she shrugs.
"Yeah no you're on drugs,"
"What's the wildest thing you wanna do with Tae?," She asks.
"I want her to rail me on a rooftop, like cheeks clapping," I say violently clapping my hands to emphasize the sound.
"Body shaking," I say making my hand shake.
"Marks all over my body," I hold a marker and draw blobs on my arms.
"Mind blowing sex," I finish off and Ace is nodding at me.
"I love that," she says with her face in agreement.
"What about you?,"
"I wanna eat her ass in an elevator,"
"ELEVATOR??,"
"Yes,"
"WHAT ABOUT THE PEOPLE?!,"
"What about them?,"
"There's no way.. I don't even know what to say. Wow," I say in shock.
I look at the floor and shake my head in disbelief.
The elevator?
Wow.
"I mean it's nothing I've never done..,"
"SHUT UP," I say before she finishes.
She laughs at me as I shake my head and sip my apple juice.
Real niggas drink apple juice.
"I have to ask you something though," she says.
"Yeah?,"
"What would you do if Tae cheated on you?," she asks.
"I would simply crease all her forces and cut her locs while she's sleeping," I say looking at my slippers on my feet.
"I love that," she says nodding.
"We need to go out soon," I say looking at my nails again.
I look at the K on my nail for a while and I smile.
"Yes.. we do..," Ace answers slowly.
"You're in love?," she says to me and I smile even harder.
"I think so, I don't even know what that feels like, but, I feel safe here, I'm respected, it's mutual and I'm content and happy. That's what it is right?,"
"Yes. That's what being in love is. I'm happy for you and I'm proud of you best friend. You've deserved this for the longest time," she says and I smile.
"Thank you," I say feeling sentimental.
The 'I'm proud of you' will always hit different.
There's rustling on Ace's end and Rae pops up.
VOUS LISEZ
Leave me alone.
Fantasy"If you like me as you say you do, why would you hurt me?," I said looking in her eyes. She looked defeated. "I don't know," she said. I sighed and walked back home.
