Ride or Die
3
(Serrah)
The ride was silent besides the radio playing Can't Raise A Man by K. Michelle.
"So Game is ya man?"
I busted out laughing.
Its obvious that since Derrick called him "Game" that he knows him through drugs.
"Nah, thats like my big brother."
"Thats what most girls say about niggas they fucking"
I completely turned in my seat and faced him.
"Thats what HOES say. I aint a fucking hoe and Game is one of the only motherfuckas in this world that gives a damn about me and Micah. Shut up about shit you dont know!"
I rolled my eyes as we pulled up to Salad Works
Im for sure Jay told him this is my favorite place to go for my lunch break.
I got out and walked inside to see my girl Jhen working.
"Wessup bitch!"
I flicked her off and blew her a kiss.
"The usual?"
"Nah. I want cobb salad today, with ranch and extra blu cheese."
"I'll take the same"
Jhen eye balled Derrick before looking at me.
"Its all good J"
She nodded and quickly made our salads.
She grabbed two salad dressings and stacked everything together.
"Together or...-"
Before I could say anything Derrick answered.
"Yeah, together"
She started hitting buttons on the register.
"$20.19"
I went for my purse but Derrick handed her his card.
She swiped it three times before looking at Derrick with no emotion.
"Your card has been declined"
Derrick scrunched up his face before pulling out his phone and hitting some buttons.
"FUCK!"
I jumped and Jhen mugged him.
"I got it Derrick."
I pulled out the wad of money that Jay had given me yesterday and gave Jhen a fifty.
Derrick started pressing buttons then rushed out.
Jhen handed me my change and I put 20 dollars in the tip jar before grabbing our food and going to a table.
(Derrick)
"Hello son."
"You took all my fucking money!"
"All of my money boy."
"Some of that was from my last paycheck!"
"Lower your damn voice! I'll send you your petty 500 dollars."
"Man, fuck you."
I hung up before he could say anything else and took some deep breaths trying to calm down.
I walked back in and walked over to where Serrah was sitting in the back.
"I'm sorry. I'll pay you back.."
"It's a salad, I aint trippin. You good?"
"Yeah. Im straight"
She smiled at me and giggled a little.
"What?"
"You got a lil accent"
"And you got a big one. Where you from?"
"I was born in Washington, D.C. and lived there till the summer before high school. But I spent all my summers in Maryland with my cousin Lante"
"Thats cool."
She nodded and took a bite of her salad.
"Why you not in uniform?"
"My store manager is cool as fuck and she said long as we stay within dress code, meaning long pants and nothing revealing and we wear our name tags then we dont have to wear uniforms"
"I might have to transfer up here then"
"Nah you good homie"
I busted out laughing and so did she.
***30 minutes later***
(Serrah)
I walked in right as my lunch break ended.
Forrest was at the register finishing up with a customer so I went to the back and put my bag away.
"Aye Forrest, you going on break now?"
"Yeah"
I nodded and put my phone face up on the counter before picking up a Ebony magazine.
Tonight you coming out with me and Game -D
Can't. Someone needs to be with Micah -S
My moms already agreed to watch her -D
I was a bit iffy about leaving Micah with a stranger.
And before you start over-thinkin, Game already took her over there and dropped her off. And I got you something to wear, Game said I can chill at ya crib so Im waiting -D
These niggas then planned out my night. I trust Jay but I'm kind of mad he didn't ask me first.
***A hour and a half later***
I quickly clocked out the gathered my stuff.
"Bye Forrest!"
"Bye Serrah"
I gave him a quick hug then rushed out the back entrance where employees of the mall park.
I got in the car and started it, In My Bag by Fat Trel ft Wale blasted through the parking lot as I rolled down my windows and pulled off.
I stopped at Starbucks drive-thru and got a carmel frappe and a cranberry muffin.
I rode to the condo while eating and decided to call Jay so I could talk to Micah before we go out.
"Wass good Babygirl?"
"You still with MyMy?"
"I just left but I'll call Miss Rose up and have her call you"
"Thanks Jay"
"No problem"
A couple minutes later I pull up to the house and my phone rings.
"Hello?"
"Hello, is this Serrah?"
"Yes it is."
"Oh ok! Im Miss Rose, Jayceon said you wanted to speak to Micah?"
"If you dont mind"
"Of course"
There was some noise and talking before I heard Micah.
"RahRah?"
"Hey MyMy. You good?"
"Yeah! Mama Rose made chicken and she has a big tv with games!"
"Im just checking on you cause im going out with Uncle Jay and Derrick tonight"
"Okay! I love you"
"I love you too. Give Miss Rose the phone"
I apoligized for the short notice and thanked her before we ended the call and I headed up to the door.
I turn the knob and discover this nigga left my door unlocked.
I close it behind me and lock it.
"Derrick!"
I kicked off my shoes and dropped my bag on the foyer table before starting up the steps.
"Derrick!"
I walked in the kitchen and living room but I couldnt find him.
I grabbed my phone and called him.
"Where you at?"
"In the house looking for you!"
"Im in your room."
I hung up and went back down stairs. This nigga really made himself comfortable.
He couldnt hear me because my room is soundproof along with Micah's.
I walk in my room and he's stretched out across my bed watching Martin and there are shopping bags all on the floor.
I walked past him to the door that held the conjoining closet to me and Micah's room and hung up my bag before going to stand right infront the tv.
"Wassup ma?"
"You real comfortable, huh?"
He got up and hugged me before pushing up both back on the bed.
"Stop faking and chill with me before we get ready."
I laughed while pushing him off me and going through the bags to look for an outfit.
***10:30***
I just got out the shower and walked into my room wrapped in a towel while Derrick was getting ready in Micah's room.
I quickly dried off and put on the outfit Derrick bought.
"Damn"
I looked up and saw Derrick biting his lip, tonights gonna be fun.
The ride was silent besides the radio playing Can't Raise A Man by K. Michelle.
