Oh no, I'm going to be late and I'm going to miss all the fun! This stupid Karen won't leave me be. "Look, lady, I know your boyfriend left you but I had nothing to do with it!"

I've been at this for the past twenty minutes. I have half a mind to call the police but my phone is in my bedroom and she won't stop screaming her head off. Besides, who needs the police when I have pepper spray?

"I will pepper spray you if you step inside my home," I growl. "I have a life to get back to, so if you don't mind, I'm slamming the door in your face."

"You said you'll make sure no man ever knocks on my door every again!" She accuses me. "You made my boyfriend leave me!"

"That's it! I'm slamming the door in your face- Hey! Get out of my home!" So I use my pepper spray. What did you expect me to do? Shout empty threats?

"You just pepper sprayed me! I'm going to go blind!"

"That's not how pepper spray works, lady. Now get out," I push her out of my apartment as she screams about how she went blind. Once she's gone, I close the door shut, only to here loud banging on my door.

Again? "Look, lady, I told you already, I didn't tell your boyfriend to leave you. You didn't even need my help for that."

"Bailey!"

I recognized that voice anywhere. I immediately opened the door only for Adrian to attack me with a hug. "Bailey, I called you so many fucking times!" He hugs me tighter, desperately.

"It's in my room. The woman next door wouldn't let me leave, so I just pepper sprayed her," I explain. "I'm sorry I got you worried. I didn't hear it ring." I hear his heart beating loudly against his chest and begin to feel extremely guilty.

"Do you have work today?"

"No, it's my day off. I was going to go shopping for a dress for the party tonight," I tell him, while leaning against his rock hard chest.

"Shit!"

"What?"

"I was planning to give you a gift I had bought for you a couple days ago, but I forgot it in a rush."

"You... you bought me a gift?" I stare at him, big-eyed, ready to cry any second. Fuck. No one's ever gotten me a gift before.

"Hey, are you crying?" He pulls away from the hug and looks at my face. "Did I do something wrong?"

"I'm not crying. My eye is sweating."

"Do you not want that gift? Oh my god, did I offend you? I didn't mean to... I-"

"No! I'd love to see that gift. It's just that... I've never gotten a gift before," I wrap my arms around him again. "You fucker, why'd you have to be so sweet as to make me cry?" I sniffle.

"I'll show you when we get to my home. Can we go now?"

I nod eagerly. "Carry me," I joke. "Just kid- Wait! No I didn't mean literally!" I screech as Adrian picks me up and off my feet and throws me over his shoulder. I aspire to be this strong.

Since I'm dangling over his shoulder, I take a good look at his butt. I bet he does a lot of squats because he's got that cake. And me wants some of that cake.

I quiet down as we pass my neighbor's door. I flip a middle finger at the door though for all the times she's made me suffer. I'm guessing she's now washing the pepper spray out of her eyes. Well, suffer, bitch.
