get in her own bed with Que and sleep in all day the next day.
Chapter 12
October was so relieved by the fact that she did not have to go in to work today. It was Saturday and she would usually luck up and get at least two Saturdays out of the month off. Her manager called her and asked her if she wanted to come in and get some extra hours, but she declined. She declined solely because today was her only day off and she wanted to spend today with her son, resting. While October and Quentin were just lying around watching TV and eating popcorn, there was a knock on the door; once October got up and opened it, she realized that Azylae and Daniel had come to join them.
“Hey girl, you didn’t tell me you were coming over.”
“I know. We wanted to surprise ya’ll. Hey Que!”
“Oh good, ya’ll come on in. But let me tell you now, we ain’t sharing our snacks.”
“Yeah right. That popcorn smells so good right now and I already want some. You already know.”
They both laugh as October already started walking into her kitchen to pop her friend a bag of popcorn.
“Let’s put the kids in the room, we need to do some adult talking,” Azylae stated.
October looked towards her best friend and tried to read her face to see what it was they would be talking about. Then she goes to her pantry and gets a few bags of fruit snacks and juices for the boys to keep them occupied and happy. Then she led them into Quentin’s room and put on the movie “Finding Nemo” for them to watch. Too anxious to find out what it was they would be talking about, she didn’t want to waste time trying to figure it out when she could hurry and find out. Her curiosity carried her back into the living room with Azylae so that they could talk and watch TV while letting the kids watch their movie and play.
Azylae walk into the living room after retrieving her bag of popcorn form the microwave and grabbing a drink from the fridge.
“Girl I am so glad that you are off today. I needed to get outta that house and away from Kent ass.”
“Why, what’s going on?”
“Well, it really ain’t even him. It’s that crazy bitch starting shit again.”
“Who? His ex?”
“Yeah, you remember I was telling you about his psychotic ex-girlfriend from high school? Well she been calling his cell phone and sending him text messages and I swear if I see her I’m gone bust her ass.”
Azylae ain’t nothing but a little bitty thing and she hardly ever gets mad enough to want to fight someone. However, when necessary she could get mighty feisty and October believed that when she does get her hands on someone she could possibly do some damage. It is funny to hear her best friend talk this way because she never really does and October just grins as she tries to find out what has been going on.
“What has she been saying and how she get his number?”
“Well, you know he got the same number from high school so she could have been had it. But that’s my point too, I asked him have they been talking behind my back and I’m just finding out or what.”
“Why do you think that?”
“Wait, check this out. Everything just seems so suspicious that I really don’t know what to believe, you know? That’s why I needed to just get away from him right now and have time to think. Okay, I just found out about everything yesterday, but when he and his cousin went to Buffalo Wild Wings last week he had ran in to her. He claimed that she kept trying to get his attention and talk to him but he just blew her off, which is probably true. My point is, you saw this hoe and she was trynna get at you. She been calling you and sending you messages ever since then, but you just now letting me know yesterday? And that’s only because she had called when I was with him and he answered it, but he wouldn’t let me talk to
