If I have to (bwwm)

chapter 7

The remaining of our Saturday. My friends and I stayed in. We chilled and played just dance. I won most of the games despite them saying how I cheated. Saying it's unfair because of my dance background. I blame it on their lack of rhythm.

"Cheater! " Chloe said.
"This is your third time in a row!"

"What it's not my fault I'm a good dancer," I say laughing at Chloe's poor sportsmanship.

"Yeah whatever " she pouts pouring herself a glass of wine.

The girls decided to sleep over again tonight. Hopefully, if we don't get too wasted we'll go out for brunch. Sunday brunch had become our thing. No matter how busy our schedules are Sunday brunch is a must.

It's funny when I first move to California. I thought brunch was supposed to be a joke. I knew people ate brunch, but here it's damn near customary.

In Louisiana, we didn't do brunch. "When you eating good food you ain't gotta worry about what time it is." My mama use to say.

It's been years since I've been home. Five years to be exact. I'm sure my mama would like Sunday brunch. Especially brunch in California with me. Before my thoughts of my mother can go any further Destiny calls my name.

"Moe! I know you heard me." she sassed.

"What is it Destiny ?"

"I said that we are about to go home and get our stuff since you wanna be stingy."

"I'm not being stingy it's just that y'all never return my things."

The girls never return "borrowed" things especially mines. They figure since I shop often and go out rarely that makes my closet a free store.

"Boo you whore," Ali says

"Whatever just use y'all key when you come back I might be in the shower."

"Oh Lord please don't be in there forever," Destiny says

"I won't damn!"

Once they leave I head upstairs to take a shower. I'm one of those people that would spend hours in the shower. I strip down to nothing and do a body check. My body is average. Average height. Average slim frame. I have some curves but they're subtle.
The only thing that stands out to me is my Chocolate skin tone.

I got drunk One-night playing truth or dare. Choose only dare and now have tattoos to show for it.

A small cross on my index finger. Loyalty on my rib cage. Topping them off is a sunflower behind my earlobe. It's my favorite flower.

I probably will get more tattoos in the future. As for now, I love the three I have.
I wonder how many James has.
Forty? Maybe a hundred. He is literally covered in them. I wonder why someone would get so many tattoos. And with that, I begin to take a shower. Thinking of my tattoos, James' tattoos and if he has any unseen ones.

Once the girls are back they're surprised I'm out of the shower. They tell me that Keith and James are going to pick us up at ten thirty. They are supposedly close with the owner and manage to get us a VIP section. Just thinking about being around him annoys me. Yeah I know ten minutes ago I was thinking of his body. But to actually be around him aggravates me all over again.
