fuckin’ self, girl. I know how you look when you really tired and I know how you look when you have somethin’ heavy on yo mind and yo ass just wanna be stubborn and not tell me!”
I just rolled my eyes at her and did my best to ignore her. I flipped my phone screen back on and scrolled through Tyrek’s messages. Mel shook her head and closed the office door before she sat down in a chair by my desk.
“Danessa. Stop playin’ with me! I see you lookin’ at yo phone. You waitin’ on yo little boyfriend to text you back?”
I cut my eyes at her and clenched my jaw. I was so damn pissed off at her.
“Mel, leave me the fuck alone, aight? Yeah, maybe I am waiting for him to text or call me back but what does that shit have to do with you? Absolutely nothing. Now leave my office and leave me alone while I wait for my little boyfriend to text me back ‘cause I know he will.”
Mel looked at me like she had just seen a ghost. That wasn’t a good look from her; that meant she was beyond pissed off and she was going to say somthin’. Shit, I must have actually really pushed her…
“Danessa, are you fuckin’ kidding me? This has nothing to do with me? Let me give it to you straight like I have been for the past forever. This has everything to do with me because you are my best friend and you are technically an extension of myself. It affects me because you work with me. Your whole demeanor affects how you treat our customers and you get hella snippy with me just like you are right now. Do you not see that? That man has taken over your life. You depend on him to call you and make you feel whole when you can find a man who will love you for who you are and give you that attention you so badly crave. You deserve better and I am so damn tired of tellin’ you that all the fuckin’ time. You are so beautiful and you are so fuckin’ smart, but what you’re doin’ to yo self is the most stupidest thing you could ever do to yourself. You are limiting your possibilities to a man who calls you when it is convenient for him. Don’t you feel so fuckin’ worthless to have to wait for him?”
Mel stared at me and waited for my response, but I just didn’t give her one. Honestly, I was just tryin’ to hold back my tears and what I really wanted to say, knowin’ it would only add fuel to the fire. She was my best friend and I never realized that she felt so strongly against him. I knew she hated the nigga, but shit, she had some major points. The only thing is though, I’m stubborn and I believe so much in Tyrek, but I can’t fuckin’ tell her that.
She got tired of sittin’ in silence and bolted out of her chair and from my office, slamming the door behind her. I watched as she walked back to the main floor and I noticed her wiping away her tears. Damn, she really did care for me, but she was just so against Tyrek! Ugh, I needed a drink or somethin’, my head was beyond killin’ me. Whatever though, my shift was damn near over and I just need to worry about that right now.
I tossed my phone back into my bag and took a deep breath. I flipped my computer back on and checked the logs and did some financial managing. This definitely kept me busy up until it was almost time for me to go home. I would periodically look up out the window and observe Mel doin’ her job. I could tell she was bothered but the customers and the employees were not able to see what I was seeing. I could see she was agitated and hurting and it kind of bothered me, yet deep inside I couldn’t bring myself to go up to her and apologize for the shit I said and did.
I completed the logs that I needed to touch up on and shut down the computer before I grabbed my purse. I fished inside the bag and tried to locate my phone. When I got a hold of it, I looked to see if Tyrek texted me but again, there was nothing at all. I took a deep sigh and headed out of my office. I was still pretty agitated and
