15. Connection's off

April 11th, 1993

Emoni,

I was sitting on the couch filling out applications for a new job. Since i've been so distracted by Birdie these last few weeks, well ever since I quit Mc donald's, speaking of them I did get my money back. I got up a little early this morning so I wouldn't be distracted by Birdie's fine ass.

Don't let me get started on that man, then I would never finish with these applications. I heard his feet coming down the stairs as I continued to fill out my current page. "Hey baby." he said, as I felt him coming up to me.

"Hey Birdie." I said keeping my eyes on my paper.

He kissed his teeth snatching it from my hand. "Birdie give it back!" I said as I reached up to get it.

"Naw, whatchu doing anyway?" He asked, his eyes scanning the paper.

"I'm tryna get a job," I snatched the paper back from him.

"Oh, just now?" he questioned as he plopped down on the couch next to me, making my papers fly.

"Damn, Birdie."

He chuckled. "I'm sorry."

"And yeah, i've been distracted." I said as I got up to pick my papers up.

"Distracted? By what?" he questioned as he was soon next to me, helping pick up the papers.

I turned to face him, staring into his eyes. "You."

He licked his lips smirking at me. "Oh yeah?"

"Yep," I said popping the p. After picking up all of my papers.

He got up off the floor, handing me the one's that he picked up for me. "Thanks baby."

"Your welcome." he said. I plopped back down on the couch and continued filling out the page.

"You distract me too," I heard him say, shocking me.

I dropped my pen, looking up into his eyes. "Really?"

"Yeah, I mean i'm here witchu when I should be at work."

"Yeah, you right. But at least you have a job to miss."

"You'll find one soon baby, just keep at it," he assured me, tapping my thigh.

"Thanks Birdie."

"Let's go somewhere."

"I'm busy with this."

He kissed his teeth. "You can do that shit later. Let's go somewhere."

"No, we can go out later," I said. "I have work to do."

"Shit, well i'm about to go out still."

"See you later," I said not caring to even look up from what I was doing.

I heard him mumble something under his breath as he grabbed his keys off the table walking to the door. I knew he was gonna have an attitude since I didn't jump and say okay, but it's whatever I have to get a job so I can start making my own money again.
