to her.
“What the hell are you watching Ki?” I asked.
“Some movie on Lifetime I just turned to and it is good as hell so far,” she replied.
“Oh okay, well let me talk to you for a minute because I know you going to be gone later with that DJ.”
“Okay I’m all ears babe! Oh before you start, let me tell you, Ahmir and I made it official! I’m going to take it one day at a time though because I’m not trying to get hurt,” she said.
“What? I knew it! I’m so happy for y’all!” I screamed. I was happy for my girl and I didn’t want to bring her happiness down with my personal drama but I needed someone to talk to before I exploded. “Well, I wanted to tell you what Jeremiah and I talked about.”
“What is it girl?” Ki said with concern written all over her face.
“Well, after I left the Pit Stop I went to visit Jeremiah to see what he had to say about the phone call I got. He basically told me there was a girl he messed with over the summer, named Erika and she recently told him that she is pregnant but he does not think it’s his. Kior I don’t know what to do. I just want to say fuck the whole thing but a big part of me is telling me to stay. I’m just sooooo confused.”
“Wow! I’m sorry you are going through that boo but one thing I do know is that Jeremiah really does care about you. I can tell by the way that he is with you. If I were you, I would stick it out and see how it goes. Give it a try and don’t let those bitches win because all they want to do is see y’all break up,” she told me.
“That’s the same thing he said. Well, I guess I will call and talk to him more about it because I let my emotions get the best of me and stormed out.”
“Yeah go ahead and call your man honey!”
My phone started to ring and it was Malorie calling me.
“Hey girl what’s up?”
“I just talked to Malcolm and he said that the card party starts at 8 o’clock so I’ll be leaving around that time,” she said.
“Okay cool, I’ll be ready.”

It was about time for me to go hang out with DJ Spin and I was excited to see him. I know that I probably should’ve cancelled because Ahmir and I were now officially a couple but let’s be real, I don’t know exactly what Ahmir is doing. Until I know he is serious about this relationship, I will always keep a “spare tire” just in case the other one goes flat.
Spin: Hey love I’m on my way, I’ll be there in ten mins.
Me: Okay see you soon
When he called to let me know he was outside, I double checked myself in the mirror and sprayed my body with my favorite perfume, Flower Bomb by Viktor & Rolf. I went downstairs and got into his car. He was driving a nice black BMW with matching rims. When I closed his door and put on my seatbelt, he leaned over and gave me a hug. Not only did he look good in his all-white Polo outfit but he also smelled good with the Issey Miyake on him.
“You looking good as always,” he said.
Blushing I said, “Thank you! You’re looking good as well.”
“I was thinking that we could go to a park not too far from here and talk to get to know each other a little better.”
“Sounds good to me.”
He drove about ten minutes down the road and pulled up in a parking space. We got out and walked around for a while talking about all types of things. He told me how he got into the DJing thing and how it was always a passion for him. I told him a little about where I was from and what I wanted to do after I graduated from college. Our conversation was so good, I did not want it to be over. He suggested that we go to the mall because he had to look for an outfit to wear to the club. The mall was pretty big, bigger than the malls I went to back at home. We went into so many stores that I was exhausted. He told me that there was one last store that he wanted to go in. Even though I was tired, I said okay. We walked into Bebe’s and I looked at him trying to figure out what could he possibly be
