The Army Brat

Chapter 19

After we ate we decided to watch a movie. It was a lot of fun hanging out with Chris. But I couldn't fully concentrate because there was only one question in my head that needed an answer to

"Why me?" I blurted out
"What?" He asked confused
"Why did you call me? I know you must have other friends you can trust. Don't get me wrong I'm always going to be there for you but I just need to know why you called me" he gave me a small smile thinking about what to say
"I called you because I knew I could trust you. You wouldn't ask any questions you would just come. I don't have friends." He said shaking his head
"I heard you have a friend I can't remember his name tho"
"Oh you mean Javonte. He's in jail so" he said looking down in disappointment
"It's okay I'm done with the integration, I'll let you get some sleep." I said standing
"I like talking to you. So what ever you want to know just ask. Thank you for letting me stay here I'll be gone by tomorrow night"
"Don't thank me I don't like when my friends tell me thank you and we're spending the whole weekend together remember? And after that you can stay as long as you want to. Oh and I like talking to you too" I said and he nodded

After I went to bed I only slept for an hour. My nightmares started to come back after I saw Chris at school. I can't let him know they started coming back because we're in a happy place right now. We aren't together or anything but we're happy and I want it to stay that way.

Everyone was coming around 10 am and it was currently 8:00. I went to wake Chris so we could go to the store and buy snacks for everyone but he was already awake.

"Did you sleep last night" I asked while keeping my eyes on the road
"No, you?"
"No"
"I heard you moving around and shit. I was going to check up on you but I didn't want to " he trailed off not knowing what to say
"It's okay. It was just a nightmare."
"What was it about" he asked but I shook my head no

After 10 minutes we made it to the store. We almost brought everything in there. Chris payed for everything even though I told him not too but he said it was for letting stay with me which I could understand I would have done the same thing if I was in his situation. We finally made it home so we could set everything up.

"I'm not going shopping with you again" he said
"Why?" I asked laughing
"Because you mean as hell"
"I'm not you just slow as hell" I said remember how he was picking up things we didn't need and walking really slow
"Whatever" He said making me laugh

It was a few minutes to 10 and their was already a knock at the door.
"Hey bestie" Alex said greeting me
"Hey bae"
"I wanted to just walk in but I didn't know if Josh was here first and y'all was doing the nasty" she said making me shove her playfully
"Wassup Alex" Chis said and give her a hug
"Hey butthead" Alex said and Chris pushed her head
"Y'all so aggressive, damn." She said

"Wassup party people" NuNu shouted walking in with Pookie and Josh behind her

After awhile we all paired off and started our own conversation. Pookie is with Alex, NuNu is with Chris and me and Josh were together. Chris was flirting with NuNu and she was blushing, I guess she's bi. Pookie whispered something in Alex's ear making her eyes open wide. Was she blushing? Awww.

"You look pretty today" Josh whispered so only I could hear
"So I look ugly every other day" I asked rolling my eyes played

Josh lift my feet and placed them in his lap then gently pulled them so I was sitting in his lap fully.

"Give me a kiss" he demanded
"No" I said trying to get up but he stopped
"Please" he pouted while rubbing my inner thigh
"You have to earn it" I said with a smirk and I felt his hands move higher
"What do you want me to do" he said and I pushed his hands away remembering we weren't alone in the house
"Stop playing Josh they are other people here, so stop" I said finally getting off of him and making my way the kitchen

That boy was going to be the death of me.
