went to State Street’s. She learned early on that he was full of crap. He would say he was coming over and wouldn’t show, but it was all good with Kayla because although the sex was off the hook, it made her realize she still wasn’t over Geno, and a relationship wasn’t what she needed right now.

    I need a drink, Kayla thought as she looked down at her vibrating cell phone. Unfortunately, Craig was calling her for the third time in the past fifteen minutes. Kayla hit the end button and sent the call to her voice mail. She had experienced the day from hell and was in no mood for lying, no-good niggas. She had a fight break out in her classroom and her boss actually insinuated that it was her fault, her car was acting like it had an attitude and most importantly, she was stressed as hell working two jobs and still being broke. This is not how her life was supposed to be working out.
    â€œTGIF, girl,” her girlfriend Yvonne said as Kayla walked to the school’s parking lot.
    â€œYou can say that again, girlfriend,” Kayla sighed.
    â€œYou ready to go? You look worn out,” Yvonne said as she unlocked her car.
    â€œYeah, just frustrated.”
    â€œGirl, you need a drink. You wanna go by State Street’s for happy hour tonight?” Yvonne asked.
    â€œI don’t know. I’m tired, Von.”
    â€œCome on. Roni has been calling my cell and I know that’s what she wants. Let’s go for a little while. At least get our eat on for free.” Yvonne smiled and Kayla couldn’t help but laugh. “Besides, you may even meet Mister Right.”
    â€œMore like Mister Right Now.” Kayla giggled. “I am not staying all night, Von.”
    â€œCool. You know I’m not gonna be in there for long either, Kay.” Yvonne told her friend. “You’re taking your car?” she asked as Kayla unlocked her car door.
    â€œI might be ready to leave before you are. I told you I’m tired,” Kayla answered and got into her car.
    She pulled out of the parking lot behind Yvonne and opened her sunroof. The air felt good on her face and she immediately felt rejuvenated. She turned on the CD player and let the mellowness of Jill Scott relax her as she drove. Her cell rang and recognizing Tia’s number, she answered it.
    â€œHey, ho!” Tia sang into her ear.
    â€œHey, girl. Where you at?” Kayla asked. Tia was a fitness trainer and she worked varied hours, depending on her clients.
    â€œOn my way to da club to meet y’all.” She laughed.
    â€œI know you are all diva-fied, so let me warn you that I am not. I have on my jeans, a black shirt and some casual shoes.”
    â€œBut I know you got your spare pair in your trunk, trick, and you’ll probably mousse that good hair and make that face up before you step up in there, so I ain’t even worried,” she answered. She knew Kayla too well. Kayla did have a spare pair of shoes in her trunk, as well as a full makeup kit, complete with extra hair products.
    â€œI’ll see you in a minute. We’re almost there. Ms. Yvonne is leading the way.”
    â€œAll right, I’m pulling into the parking lot right now, so I’ll get us a table,” she said and hung the phone up. Kayla’s cell immediately rang again and this time it was Roni.
    â€œWhat up, Ron?” she answered.
    â€œWhat’s wrong with you? Von said you don’t feel good.”
    â€œJust tired, I guess. Dealing with them bad-ass kids is wearing me down.”
    â€œYou need a vacation. I don’t know why you don’t call out sometimes.”
    â€œUnlike you, I don’t teach public school. We don’t have a million subs to come in when we call out. We are short staffed. And even if I call out at one job, I have another one to go to,” Kayla replied.
    â€œWhat you need to do is find a guy that’s paid to help you out for a minute. Geno is over and done
