âThis is my song!â Allison cried as she grooved to the fifth Common song she demanded we listen to. Weâd been shopping all day for Whitneyâs gift to me. Whit had gone on and on about wanting to redecorate my bedroom to give it ânew lifeâ as she put it.
Allison and I were in my car headed to HomeGoods for bedding and bathroom stuff. As always, she was getting on my nerves.
I snatched her phone at the light and disconnected it from my car.
âI wish Ma could see how you act sometimes. Our whole life youâve been a goody two-shoes when sheâs around, then as soon as itâs just me and you, youâre snatching my phone and taking away my happiness. I just donât⦠I just donât think I can be around you anymore. Let me out. Iâll figure out a way to get home.â Her voice rose and fell in dramatic overtures, infused with the cracks and wavering of fake sobs. She threw her phone in her bag and turned toward the window, bringing her hand to her mouth to muffle her pretend cry.
Side-eyeing her, I asked, âWhat the hell is wrong with you?â
She laughed right away, like she had tickled herself, then tried to reconnect her phone to my car. âI gotta do my part to lift your spirits. Youâre not doing great right now.â
âWell thanks for being brutally honest.â
âItâs a gift,â she shrugged, then tried to connect her phone to the car again.
âUh-uh! I am not listening to anymore Common.â I connected my phone and scrolled through the songs. I want to hearââ My phone rang in my hand, and I answered it without looking. The Bluetooth picked it up. âThis is Briana.â I always answered like that in case it was a new client.
âWhatâs up, Bri. What you got planned for the day?â
Shitâ I moved to hang up, but Allison slapped my hand away. She almost turned her whole body around in her seat to look at me âUm, hey Ike. My sisterâs in the car and youâre on speaker.â
Iâd strategically kept her from finding out about him because Allison could never let shit be. When I didnât look at her, she nodded at nothing in particular and waited her turn to talk to Ike.
âWhat yâall up to?â he asked, not aware of the trouble I was now in.
âHeaded to the store. Call you later, ok?â I rushed, hoping heâd get the point. He didnât.
âOh alright. Iâm tryna go to Union Market for that bougie soda you turned me on to, so hit me up when yâall are done.â I pursed my lips as more evidence of our relationship came out.
âMmkay, call you when I get home. Bye.â
âWait,â he cut in. âI need to get Paulâs book back from you. Heâs been hounding me.â
âDamn, I sure did forget two groups in a row. You can come by later if I donât get in too late.â
âReally, Bri? Yâall getting bougie soda and he knows where you live?
