The Black Valentine

On Wednesday the 14th, was the much talked about Valentine's Day. Here is my own Valentine's Day story. On Tuesday the 13th, I logged on to Instagram to share one of my latest stories . Okay, so when I opened the App, I realized that I had a lot of unreplied DMs. So I decided to reply messages instead. One of the messages was from one of my side chicks, Chinonso. She was asking where I'd take her to on Valentine's Day. I didn't reply the message, I just laughed in my mind. "It's like one this mad, she doesn't know she's just a side chick?" I thought about it and laughed even more. Before I could finish reading other messages, Chinonso's call came through. I didn't want to take the call at first, but I knew she won't stop calling until I took her call. So I picked up, and she went all "Darny, tomorrow is Val's Day, where are you taking me to?" I didn't know what to answer. I had only 15k left in my life, which i've been hiding in one deep corner of my bag since January. This 15k is literary my life, therefore I can't joke with it.
