  Gina

  Great, my parking space is still available. Now to get back in here and wait for Zenobia to get home. She was supposed to call me. I wonder if they decided to keep her another day? So glad I haven’t run into Percy. Maybe he won’t trip when Zee finally does get home. Maybe he’ll be cool, pull out one of them dime store apologies and try to be nice to her - at least for a little while. God I hope so. He has put her through so much already. Maybe he’ll be easy on her.

  Oh that’s my phone. I hope it’s Zee!

  “Hey, Zee?”

  “No…”

  “Oh, hello?”

  “Hey baby girl, how’ve you been?”

  I know the hell this ain’t… “Mac?”

  “Yeah baby, it’s me. How’ve you been?”

  “What the hell are you calling me for and how did you get my cell phone number? Damn… Don’t answer that. It don’t even matter. What do you want Mac?”

  “Now you already know I have my ways of getting what I want. But it doesn’t matter how I got your number…just that I got it. I’ve been thinking a lot about you. I miss you girl.”

  “Oh really? And why is that? Mac, we haven’t been together in years, and I know you. There is no way you ain’t been with no other woman. You can’t handle that. So what, your last girl dump you or something?” This is some funny shit right here. Why the hell out of nowhere is this son of a bitch calling me? I mean really!

  “Come on, Gina! That shit don’t matter. What matters is you and me. No matter how many times I try, can’t no woman take your place. Besides, me and you will forever be tied to each other. I love you girl. I ain’t never stopped loving you.”

  “Well that’s nice to know, Mac, but I am so not interested. As a matter of fact, I’m in the middle of something so I gotta' go.”

  “That’s cool, baby girl. I hear ya. I know you busy, but when can I see you?”

  “See me? Mac, get the hell off my phone! Bye!”

  Uggghhh… I can’t believe that self-righteous motherfucker…calling me after all this time?!?!? Who the fuck does he really think he is? I mean, what was I supposed to do? Be glad he called? Was I supposed to jump up and down like a giddy school girl? Hell naw! That part of my life is over. Mac betta’ go head on with that bullshit. I am not the one. Son of a bitch! Sheesh! He betta’ be glad I don’t know where his ignorant ass is. The way I’m feeling right now about all these motherfuckers, I’ll take his ass out the game, too. Sheeiit! He just don’t know. I ain’t the same girl I used to be. I ain’t taking no more ass whoopings from no motherfucker – not no more! That shit is in the past. Let him keep on calling me and shit…talking that bullshit about he want to see me. He gone fuck around and get more than he bargained for. Let me check this number and lock it in my phone so I know it’s him. Damn, I missed Zee’s call. She’ll probably be here in a few minutes. Whew, here we go…
