Big Shot

32

Seeing his tall body walk towards my car, my heart began to race faster than normal. Like how it used to be.

"Wassup Charles." He greets me with a hug as he enters my car.

"Nothing, thanks for coming out with me."

"Of course, what you say TJ forgot y'all date." He laughs.

"Shut up, it's not funny, I'm actually sad he's been so busy with the studio he's completely forgetting he has a girlfriend." I cry.

"I'd never forget about you." He stares at me. I take my eyes off the road and stare back at him. I give him a slight smile and return back to the road.

I ended up following him throughout the mall like a little puppy. I didn't need to buy anything really, but apparently he did.

"Woah, we going into the Gucci store." I say.

"Yeah, I got Gucci money now." He says flexing his stacks of money. I stare at it impressed.

He picked out a belt and three shirts and a pair of shoes. We continued to walk around the store until he stopped in front of a purse.

"Seems like something you'd wear." He looks down at me attached to his arm.

"Yeah it's cute." I say.

"You want it?" I look up at him like he was crazy.

"Boy you are not buying me no damn Gucci purse."

"Why not, you deserve one."

"No sauve." I laugh walking away.

"Fine." He gives up walking up to the cashier. I clutch onto his arms again.

"Your total is $3,110." The cashier smiles.

Sauve brings out his bills and counts it out and hands her the money.

"Keep the change." He tells her grabbing my hand and walking out the store.

"Charles, we walked around this entire mall, and you ain't buy shit." He laughs.

"I didn't really need anything, I just wanted to get out the house." I tell him, and he nods.

"Well, let me at least buy you something to eat, I know you hungry." He offers and I shake my head yes without hesitation.

We go to chick-fil-a and find a seat. I dig into my sandwich as he just sits there and watch me. I stop eating and copy his actions.

"What sauve?"

"Nothing." He smiles to himself and begins to eat. I return eating as well until he starts talking again.

"It's just, you deserve better Charles." He starts.

"Whatchu mean?"

"I know, you in love with TJ and shit, but I don't like how's he treating you." I put my sandwich down staring at him.

"How's he treating me sauve?" I ask, kind of irritated.

"He keeps blowing  you off, for some studio time he can get whenever he wants, he's taking you for granted Charlie."

"Like you did." I say.

"What?"

"I didn't notice until you said something, but he's treating me like how you did when you first started to blow up." I scoff getting up and walking out the mall. I heard footsteps running up behind me.

"Charlie, I'm sorry."

"No I am, for inviting you, seriously I'm sorry whenever TJ makes me a mad I come running to you and I know you still love me and it's just not fair to you or TJ or me. I'm just over it"

"Over what?"

"You, us, me and TJ, everything, I don't deserve any of you, I'm gonna take you home then I'm going to tell TJ the truth, let's go." I say walking towards my car.
