I was a little bit nervous walking up to Charli’s place. I don’t know why considering that I’d spent my childhood years attached by the hip to her and Rocki. We moved to Ragston when I was going to the second grade, and I met the girls on the first day of school. Since we were Jehovah’s Witnesses, I didn’t stand up for the pledge of allegiance and some kids were making fun of me about it. Rocki told them to shut up and mind their business and Charli let them know what would happen if they didn’t mind their business by grinding one fist into the palm of her other hand. I was intimidated, but little did I know that Char was a lover, not a fighter and was just imitating something she’d seen a bully do on TV to be intimidating. I laughed thinking of that memory, but from day one we clicked, becoming fast friends—friends I thought I’d have for life, honestly. I should have probably worked a little harder to ensure our friendships were maintained as we all moved to various places around the country for college, but this was before the modern internet we now used frequently. Time zones, varied schedules, and straight up busyness sadly led to the demise of our friendships.

“You gonna stand out here all night or you coming in?” a voice teased.

I looked up to see The Roxanne Malone as I now referred to her in my head. She’d come a long way from being little Rocki from Ragston, now a world-renowned actress and bonafide star. I tuned in to watch her shows and was a huge fan of her character on the hit show, Relationship Status, which had spun off into a couple of movies. Kellee and I had a standing Thursday night date to watch Relationship Status when it was on the air.

“Ohmigosh Miss Malone can I have your autograph?” I squealed like a crazed fan.

Rock just laughed before pulling me in for a hug.

“It’s been too long, Bo Bemmy. Way too long,” she said as we parted, “Come on, Charli just opened a bottle of wine, so you have perfect timing.”

I smiled at her use of the stupid nickname from that silly Name Game song that she'd given me despite my repeated protests. Shaking my head, I followed her deeper into the house, to the sitting room where Charli was pouring wine into a glass.

“You've got perfect timing, chica!” Charli grinned, “We were just getting started.”

It was like no time has passed between us at all as we sat around catching up on each other’s lives, which eventually devolved into us complaining about the current state of our love lives. All three of us had men in our lives currently giving us the blues, in various manners. I honestly didn’t even know why I was so…pressed about Roosevelt. It wasn’t like our little friendship could go anywhere anyway being half a country apart, but…I couldn’t deny that I’d started feeling a little…something for him.
