“Okay spill.” Heaven spoke breaking my thoughts, we were at our weekly brunch date at Brunch Melodies, A black woman owned brunch spot with twists on classic brunch food. She sipped on her peach Bellini, while her eyes silently assessed me. there wasnt much for her to see, the summer heat allowed for me to show off my middrif with a brown two piece set with matching peekaboo heels, on my monochromatic teas.
“ What you mean?” I asked, squirming under her gaze, grabbing my champagne flute to drink my own blood orange mimosa, I enjoyed the flavors of the sweet citrus and bitter champagne on my tongue.
“I mean, You’ve been moping around for a month like someone killed your puppy, what’s really good?”
Had I really been walking around like that? I felt like I was hiding my anguish good enough internally for others to not catch on.
“ You ever fall in love with a person’s actions?” I inquired after a beat of silence, “ Akari treated me differently than Amond and now I can’t help but wonder, what if”
“ I fucking knew it, the whole idea was stupid, You fell for the dick girl.” Heaven muses, a huge smile on her pretty features
“ No I didn’t ” I denied, even though I knew it was true, I had fell in love with the man’s dick, but it was more, It was they way took care of me, washed me like i was the most delicate thing, held me like I was meant to be with him. I voice this to Haven, she smiles softly, today she chose to wear a mauve tube dress with gold accessories and a nude pump, Her hair defied gravity, sitting around her head in a halo, “ It’s okay you fell for the dick friend, Obviously Amond wasn’t doing it right. I’m glad his brother got you right, I knew he was the better brother!” she exclaimed.
“ Bitch, I’m not finna play with you” I laughed, “ But yes he is the better brother.”
Haven did a little shoulder shimmy in her seat at my confirmation, I loved how animated she was about the situation because as she said earlier I was about to cry.
“ Amond finna loose you to the person closest to him he better keep you close!” She muffled between bites of her syrup drowned waffles, she covered her mouth to not show her food.
