Life...And The Drama It Brings

Jalissa is at the table awaiting Teresa, who’s 10 minutes late. "Hey girl", says Jalissa waving to get Teresa’s attention. As she gets to the table, Jalissa is up on her feet ready to hug Teresa good morning. "Good morning girl", says Teresa embracing Jalissa with joy. "I’m so happy to see you today. I haven’t seen you in like a month!" "I know girl, I missed you too, sorry it took so long for us to finally get a girl’s day out." "So, have you ordered yet?" "No, I told the waitress you weren’t here yet; so come back in a few minutes and we’ll be ready to order." "Okay, well let me look the menu over so I can see what’s good up in here. So what’s new girl?" "Funny that you should ask that, check this out, says Jalissa handing Teresa the letter from Regina. Read this girl, you won’t believe it!" As Teresa reads the letter her mouth drops open. "O HELL NO! Girl no, not.. not.. Regina and Denton? That skank! She ain’t got no business all up in your old plate like that! Yo, you want me to go get my Vaseline and Reeboks and ride out to Rochester and we can do this!", says Teresa waving her fists and rolling her neck and eyes. "No! Girl please. I ain’t even sweating the little things, I ain’t hurt by that. I could care less. If that’s who floats his boat and they are happy, then more power to them. I wish them the best of luck", says Jalissa. "Ok, who are you and what have you done with my best friend, asks Teresa looking confused? Girl, you put in 4 years with him and this stank heffa gone just swoop down like Wonder Woman and pick up your leftovers and call herself a friend! I don’t think so Jalissa! That is so grimy of her! Back in the day; we was all tight like expensive pantyhose and she just put a run in the stockings, which makes them no good!" "Calm down Teresa; it’s all good momma. Really, I am so in love with Lamar and that’s who I want to be with. Denton and I are over and done with so Regina can have him Teresa." "Well damn, when did you grow the hell up and become a woman, last month?", asks Teresa giggling. "Girl a few years ago, I may have been ready to just cut her out of my life for good. But, it’s all good. My life is really in a good place right now and I am happy with the way things are", says Jalissa. "Okay cool then, let’s order so I can get my eat on because this letter just worked up a serious appetite in me", says Teresa. They order breakfast, eat, shoot the breeze a little more and head towards the mall. They park and enter the mall through Lord & Taylor. "Perfume counter first before we hit the other stores", says Jalissa. " Good morning! How may I help you ladies today?", asks the saleswoman behind the counter. "Good morning, I would like to have a bottle of Pleasures by Estee Lauder, Organza by Givenchy, Be Delicious by D.K.N.Y and Jadore by Christian Dior please", says Jalissa. "Sure, be right back with your selections", says the saleswoman. "Dang girl, what are you doing getting enough perfume for the year?", asks Teresa giggling. "Girl please, you know I love my smell good! I want to look yummy and smell absolutely delicious, smiles Jalissa with her hands on her hips. You know how we do smiles Jalissa, gotta keep em drooling!" " Like the St. Bernard dogs they are", jokes Teresa! Haha! "Girl, my man ain’t no dog, says Jalissa tapping Teresa on the forearm. He’s a good, sweet, loving man and fine as hell! Girl he stay smelling good; so you know I gotta stay on point with my perfumes and lotions. He likes Be Delicious for men, Perry Ellis 360 degrees for men, and Burberry. Girl after he showers and shaves, he has my whole master bathroom smelling wonderful like an aroma therapy candle! It sure makes me relax", smiles Jalissa. "You know what? You, you just crazy", says Teresa teasing Jalissa.
