I broke the kiss “Michael...I..I have to go. I'm sorry." I ran out, my eyes filled with tears. I was running like a little girl who just had her moyo broken. My moyo was broken and confused, I just couldn't stay in there with Michael. I finally realized that I loved Michael and know one else “Nesha! Wait!" Michael called as I jumped in the truck and drove off, leaving him standing in the middle of Isis' driveway and looked at me leave. I drove nyumbani and got ready to meet Asad's parents “Where have wewe been?" Asad asked as I alisema I was with Isis all day. I put on my black lace dress and high heels with my bowtie around my neck “How do I look?" I asked as I presented myself to Asad “Love the way wewe look. wewe look so ravishing lovely." He kissed my cheek. I smiled and grabbed my wallet while Asad got ready to leave “Ready love?" He asked as I nodded while we linked arms and walked together. We drove to the party and we were the talk of the town,everyone was talking about how good we looked. We sat down with his parents as we greeted them, we held each other's hands as we talked to his parents “So...Mom and dad, this is my girlfriend Nesha." I shook hands with his father but his mother lifted her head and ignored me “I don't talk to women who are from the projects." She pointed at the small tattoo on my wrist that had the projects on it. I got it three years zamani because I was born in Brooklyn in the projects “Does that mean I have to be ashamed of where I come from?" I asked as she nodded Yes “If wewe come from a low down dirty neighborhood, then yes." She gave me a sour, wamekula look and told Asad to pick a better woman "..And from Yale university, okay?" She sarcastically ametoa maoni as her husband told her to stop as I told no "Sir, I'm sorry for wewe and I hope that one siku she'll realize that God don't like ugly." I walked out with Asad following me “Nesha, wait. I'm sorry for that. She can be a hard case." He alisema as I turned around "She did zaidi than that, Asad! She hurt my feelings. She was being prejudice towards me!" I called for a taxi cab as Asad got down on one knee "Nesha? Before wewe leave let me ask wewe one question." "What?" Asad took out a box and opened it "Will wewe marry me?" He asked as I felt a tear roll down my cheek. I couldn't except it so I alisema what he prayed wouldn't be alisema "No. I'm sorry Asad but I have to think things through. This is moving too fast." Asad's smile turned into a furious look as he grabbed me kwa my arm "I don't take no for an answer. Gimme your hand!" He forced the ring on my finger as I tried to snatch my hand away. Asad slapped me as I looked at him like he was crazy "Boy wewe must be Godamn crazy!" I kicked him in his batteries and punched as he fell "Come'on now. If wewe quick enough to slap a bitch. Be quick enough to get up, come'on." I took off my heels.

I grabbed him kwa his hair and dragged him into the shina of his truck "You gone learn not to put yo hands on me again. wewe bastard." I took his truck keys and we drove home.

I was tricked kwa thinking Asad was a sweet man but my punda was fooled. That's probably why his last one got away with the delivery man. She was fooled kwa him and when she finally saw the real him...out she went. I drove nyumbani and dragged Asad out the shina "Don't ever mess wit a woman from the projects." I alisema as I punched and kicked his face and body then dragged him into the house and threw him on the floor, I squatted down while I lifted his head up kwa his hair and whispered "Now go and get your shit and leave. NOW!" Asad ran to action as I found a kiti, kiti cha and a drink and watched him run out with his stuff "Oh. And in case wewe get lonely" I alisema as I took off the ring and my panties "just smell those drawes and put on the ring." He cried and walked out while I smoked a cigarette and drunk some wine. I called Michael as he gasped at all I told him "What's wrong with you?" Michael asked as I chuckled "Nothing much just the fact that if a man touch me. They funeral coming." I insisted.

"Well other than that. Can I come over? I'm already five dakika away from you." Michael whispered as I bit lip.

"Sure, I do need some company." I alisema while taking off my clothes and putting on some sweatpants and a sports bra.

"Okay, but my girlfriend's with me though." Michael alisema as my moyo broke a little.

"That...that's okay. She can come too." I alisema as we alisema goodbye and hung up the phone.

I put on a shati and slouched in the chair as I played Prince's 'Joy in Repetition' and cleaned up. A knock approached my door "Who is it?" I asked as a voice answered "Michael." I opened the door then Michael and his girl walked in. I greeted as we all talked "Well, me and Lisa met at a party and in an twinkle of an eye. We got along so well." He alisema as Lisa kissed him while Michael kissed her back while I sat there feeling like the third wheel "An twinkle of an eye, huh?" I asked while looking at the floor, feeling lonely. I thought this would be different with Michael.
