Chapter 122
I rolled my eyes. “Look, whatever.” “Girl, don’t be that way. I love you.” “I love you too—”
My words were cut of, as Face beeped in on the other line.
I sighed, knowing that I couldn’t put Too Low on hold without hearing his mouth.
“I seen that you added that money to my books. I appreciate that, but I keep telling you to keep that money in your pocket. You’re telling me that we’re broke, then turn around and basically send me your whole paycheck.
Sending me the money aint gon get us nowhere.
Start saving, and then you eventually won’t have to work so much. ”
“Baby, I hear you. I just be wanting you to be straight in there.
That’s all.”
“I know,” he sighed. “You a good girl, Babi. And sometimes I ask myself what did I ever do to deserve you.”
“And you a good man,” I added. “You really believe that?”
“Yes, baby.”
“I guess that I needed to hear that today. I been depressed like a muthafucka. Been feeling like you distant now. Like you aint mine no more. It’s a feeling that I just can’t shake. So, it’s nice to hear you say some good shit.”
“You have one minute left.”
“Damn. I gotta put some money on the phone. That wasn’t thirty minutes, was it?” I sighed.
“Nah. More like ten. So, yeah, put more money on the phone.
I’ll call you when I think that you on your break.” “Okay, baby.”
“Okay. Love you.” “Love you too.” The call ended.
