Did You Call First?

So it was the week before thanksgiving 2022, my fiancé was at work and I had the house to myself. It was around 4:30pm maybe earlier, I was relaxing in bed, watching tv (one of those lazy afternoons) when I hear my doorbell. Now I wasn’t expecting anyone so I turned my tv down and waited. Again, *ding dong*. In my mind, I’m like who the hell is that. The bell goes off once more, so I tip-toed to the door and quietly looked out the peephole. It was my friend Lori.

Now quick back story, I was raised in an era where you didn’t just let people in ur house and u always called first before coming over. Nowadays, that’s changed and I understand it to an extent. In my opinion, the only people who can ring my bell unannounced is my siblings.

I went back to my bedroom, unmuted my tv and continued relaxing. Next thing I hear is my phone ringing. I looked at it and saw it was Lori calling me. I answered, “hello”. “Hey I was ringing your bell, are u home”? said Lori. I replied, “yes I’m home”. She said, “Why didn’t you answer the door”? I simply replied, “did you call first”?

If you’re wondering, yes I left her ass standing outside. I don’t play about my time or my peace. She didn’t speak to me for a few days but we good now although there may definitely be some hate in her blood.
