“A New Woman”

Jewel

“You have reached the voicemail box of—”

I hung up before the recording could finish. Not hearing Touch’s voice and wondering what the fuck he was doing and where the hell he was at was driving me crazy. It had been an entire day since our argument, and I hadn’t heard from him. I had called his phone nonstop for a whole hour straight, and all I got was straight voicemail. It had gotten to the point that I was starting to worry. I even called his mother, and she hadn’t heard from him.

I didn’t know what to think. I wondered if he was with another bitch. It was insulting to me, to keep being sent directly to his voicemail. I was starting to feel as if he didn’t give a fuck about me or my feelings. Was he just ignoring me because of the argument, or had he run into one of Calico’s boys and was hurt or, even worse, dead? My brain was racing.

I’d spent the past day sitting in the house, depressed and crying. I hadn’t eaten anything or even bothered to wash my ass or brush my teeth. I picked up the phone to call Misty because she’d called several times earlier in the day and I didn’t even bother to answer. I just wasn’t in the mood for conversation.

“Hey, girl,” I said, trying to sound a little upbeat.

“Jewel?” Misty asked, not even recognizing my voice.

“Yeah, it’s me. What’s up?”

“What’s wrong, momma?”

“Girl, I’m down in the dumps. Sad as hell.”

“Awwww. What’s wrong, boo?” Misty asked, sounding concerned.

I explained to her the drama I had with Touch from beginning to end.

“I’m sorry to hear that. I’m coming over. Get up and get yourself together. We’re gonna go out and have some dinner and drinks. Then we’re gonna strategize on how to get your boo back.”

“Okay. I’m getting up now. Give me about an hour.”

“Cool. See you then.”

I got off the phone with Misty then drug myself out of bed. I ran myself a hot bath, turned on Keyshia Cole’s CD, A Different Me, and turned on the jets in the tub and soaked.

Thirty minutes later I was clean as a whistle and actually felt a little revived. I threw on some clothes, pulled my hair into a messy ponytail, and straightened up the house a little bit as I waited for Misty.

Ding-dong!

Misty had arrived right on time. She gave me a hug as soon as I opened the door. “Hey, hon. You ready?”

I wanted to just cry in her arms, but I took a deep breath, sucked it up, and put on a smile. “Yeah, I’m ready.”

Misty tried to share words of inspiration as we headed to her truck. “This isn’t a pity party,” she said. “We’re preparing for a victory. You’re gonna get your boo back.”

We ended up at a bar not far from my house called Pandemonium, which was the perfect atmosphere. We walked in and headed straight to the bar. Misty ordered our drinks as I got comfortable.
