From the Niger delta, to all the corners of Africa, America and the world. Black people are turning the tables, taking back our place; we will be heard because we matter.

Thursday morning, I have everything ready

Thursday morning, I have everything ready. I've finally found Lucas' location at the expense of four sleepless nights but who cares? I'll be leaving this shit hole of a job by Saturday midnight.

Today I arrived at work thirty minutes early. I plan on seeing Roach to break the news. I know for a fact none of my coworkers have found Lucas' location. Not even the high and mighty Peter.

If he did he wouldn't have hesitated to gloat in my face. He sees me as a competition I see him as a nagging mosquito, only good at making unnecessary noise. I am my own competition. I'm so proud of myself.

I don't think I've ever been this excited to see Roach. I even wore my best black pant suit and stilettos. I was aiming for the professional look and I think I nailed it.

"That grin tells me two things; either you and Darelle finally kissed or you finally found Lucas. I'm hoping it's both" Kira says from beside.

"Good morning to you too Kira"

"I hate greetings. Now please tell me you and Darelle finally got something going on" her enthusiastic voice squeals.

"Nothing happened between us woman" In fact I haven't heard from him since Sunday morning when I tried asking him what made him spend the night at my house and he replied with 'nothing', gave me a weak smile and hurriedly left after that. He didn't even wait to eat breakfast. Rude. I know.

"Ouch and here I was looking through Pinterest for good godmother clothes to wear to a baptism"

I arch my brows concern "You know I'm not even surprised you'd do that"

She grins "I mean can you blame me? When was the last time you saw a dick let alone have it inside you? This thing between you and Darelle is starting to look like a slow burn romance book"

I sigh "I'm not gonna talk about how your brain works right now. Anyway I'm happy coz I finally found Lucas. I worked my ass off day and night and I finally did."

A happy proud smile curves her lips. She hugs me from behind "I'm so proud of you K, I could cry right now."

"Except you don't cry"

"Yeap, I don't have enough fluids in me to waste on tears"

"But you can waste it on orgasms" I mutter lowly.

"I heard that" she slaps my back.

I flinch away "Ouch that hurt you animal"

"I'm patting your back for you. Literally"

"Dude go back downstairs I need to practice my Roach speech"

She raises her hands in surrender "Okay fine. Good luck sis! Break a leg. Not literally though because I'd have to spend the rest of my life nursing you and dickless. I'm not a nun you know"
