“Sean, shut up with all your ‘I know’s . What of the things you don’t know? You know this, you know that. For God’s sake, you don’t fucking know anything!” By this time, I was hysterical

“Audrey stop it. Your words hurt. You’re hurting me.”

“ Good. Now you know how I’ve been feeling for the past two weeks. You never called, no text, nothing. You could’ve at least asked if everything went well with my brothers and mom but no, you ignored me and now you want to undo? Pffft! How pathetic can human beings become?” I let out an airy chuckle.

“ I’m sorry. I’ll call you another time but remember I’ll not give up on us.

“Tiny problem. There’s no ‘us’.”

“Good luck with the fight. Kick some butts cause that’s what you do.”

“ I don’t need your motivation.” I said icily even though deep down, I was happy he knows me so well. I was happy he apologized and most of all, I was happy he called but I had to play hard to get. What’s the fun in giving on early anyway?
Love may be blind but not foolish.


Bitch At Dawn

When we arrived at the club for our celebration, we found Cole and Blaze wasted at the bar. The guys had to leave earlier because the ladies were taking a long time figuring out what to wear. 


 "Hey guys" Cole, who was so very wasted, called out to us. 


 "We leave you for an hour and you get wasted?" 


For clarification's sake, the boys went an hour ahead of us. 


 "Hey, I'm not wasted. Blaze is." Cole protested. 


 "Just kidding. I mean we didn't come here to pray right? Drink all you can. Since I'm the most heavyweight I'll drive." I smiled as I sat down next to Cole with Chess on the other side. 


With a flash of a smile, Martha got the bartender ready to take our orders. 


 " I'll have a martini." Martha ordered. 


 "I'll have a Royal arrival." I just shook my head at Blast's order. 


 "I'll take a French 75." That was chess. 


 "I'll have a Cobbler style Rye Whiskey Cocktail." I ordered with satisfaction.
