Allure

Rest is what Meesa needed. Emotionally drained wasn't the word, Meesa didn't even trust herself anymore. The only sane thing in her life was Kyan. He was getting so big and smarter each day.

A couple of weeks had passed since the breakup. At first, Black thought that after a couple of days, Meesa would change her mind. But soon he saw that he was wrong. So he stayed with Rose until he found a suitable condo. He and Meesa agreed he would get Kyan on the weekends. Missing his son during the week was an understatement. Black truly enjoyed spending time with his son.

Meesa tried to put on a happy face when Fridays came. She didn't want Black to see how much she was hurting. During the week, she walked around the house like a zombie. She didn't care that she looked crazy and deranged. But by Friday at 12 p.m., she was pulled together. She was always at the door ready and waiting for Black. They both chose to speak only the necessary. Things like, hi, how have you been, what time will he be back, and bye, all the while, stealing glances at one another.

Running low on cash, Meesa needed money, but she refused to ask Black for a dime. One night, after Black brought Kyan back home, Meesa found a wad of cash stashed in his baby bag. Even though they weren't together, Black still didn't want her to go without.

Deciding it was only right to call him and say thanks, Meesa called his cell.

Sitting at Kat's house counting money, Black answered, “Hello.”

Nervous, Meesa replied, “Umm hi.”

Black sat back on the couch and smiled at the sound of her voice.

“What's up?” He answered in his deep baritone voice? The bass from his voice spoke volumes.

“I just wanted to thank you. I appreciate the money you left in Kyan's bag. You didn't have to do that, and I just wanted to thank you.” Meesa said honestly.

“Oh, no problem. You know that if you need anything you can ask me, don't you?”

“Yeah, I know.” She spoke, almost in a whisper. Starting to fill uncomfortable, she hurried the conversation.

“Well, that's all I called to say, see you Friday.” Not really wanting the conversation to end, Black responded with a modest, “Okay.”

Lunchtime at the Cheesecake Factory was always busy. Meesa and Destiny sat and split a piece of chocolate cheesecake while Gwen sipped on a Latté. Each had spent an obscene amount of money in the mall.

It was Meesa's lucky day, she had lucked up on a pair of Christian Louboutin heels on sale. For the first time in a long time, she had a smile on her face. After much persistence, she finally decided to leave the house. It felt good to her to have on nice clothes again instead of sweats.

“Ooh girl, I'm gonna gain about ten pounds.” Destiny said while scarfing down the cheesecake.

“Please Destiny, as skinny as you is, you need to gain about ten pounds.” Gwen said laughing.
