"Falling in love with your best friend is either Best or Worst, because either both of you will be in love with each other or it will always be an untold one-sided love." - Vedika Jain
My Works #4 🧚🏾♀️
"It's hot as hell out here," Alani muttered against my shoulder.
The boys had asked us to come to the park and watch them play basketball. Everybody and their mama is out here so we agreed. Which was a mistake because it feels like hell out here.
"Foreal, why didn't they suggest the beach, pool or something? It's hot as hell out here," Chanel snapped from the bench below us.
"Ouu, that lady selling snow cones! Let's go get one," Alani said, excitedly standing up.
We stood up and were about to walk off before the boys walked up to us.
"Where y'all going," Jakari asked, wrapping his arms around my shoulder.
"Were about to go get some snow cones while y'all continue to play."
"Mhm, y'all be safe and get some money out of my pants."
He walked off with the rest of them to finish playing their games. I grabbed the money out of his pants and jogged back to the girls.
"Y'all trying to get some food too," I asked.
"Yea, let's go to my daddy's store," Chanel replied.
We started walking towards Mr. Yang's corner store.
"When are you and Kari going to stop playing and get together," Chanel asked while we were walking.
I rolled my eyes," Whenever you and Zahir stop acting like y'all aren't a couple."
"Zahir and I aren't a couple, we're just having a fun time right now. But don't try to change the subject."
"Foreal everybody and their mama know you and Kari are soulmates," Alani said.
"Jakari and I are just friends. Plus, I have no plans on being tied down for this summer. I'm trying to show my ass."
We walked into the store and Harmony greeted us from the register.
Mr. Yang had this store before any of us were born. Everyone loves and respects Mr. Yang so his store never gets shot up or robbed.
"Y'all getting the usual," Harmony questioned.
"Yea," Alani replied for us.
"Alright, go get y'all snacks while I put y'all order in."
We mumbled a quick "okay" and walked off to get our snacks.
Harmony is Chanel's cousin who lives with her and her parents. Her mom had died and they didn't want her living with her abusive dad so she moved with them a couple of years ago.
Mr and Mrs. Yang are big on their kids making their own money and being independent. Chanel's older brother is a doctor in the Army, Chanel is working on becoming a nurse, and Harmony is working on becoming a Social worker.
Chanel and I have been friends since elementary school. Which is why Mrs. Yang trusts me to run her nail salon in a couple of years.
I want to own multiple nail salons all over the world and do nails for any and everyone. I've been working at Mrs. Yang nail salon since I was 16.
"Y'all hear that," Alani questioned as we got closer to the park.
A larger group of people were now surrounding the court looking at something or someone.
"Someone must fighting," I said as we got closer to the crowd.
Almost everyone had their phones out recording and yelling.
Please don't let it be one of these guys.
"Get the fuck out of the way," Chanel pushing bodies out of the way.
"You gotta be kidding me," I mumbled.
Jakari and Zehani were stomping some men out while Brent and Hassan stood around watching and recording.
"Are you fucking serious !?!"
•••
"We weren't even gone for that long, and y'all started stomping someone out. Are you fucking dumb Jakari? You got to be, cause after that y'all started fucking shoot," I yelled once we made it in my apartment.
"You acting like someone died or something!"
"Someone could've! I swear y'all don't use y'all brains sometimes," I snapped pushing his head back with my finger.
He ignored me and walked in my room.
"A fucking dumbass I swear," I mumbled taking the containers of food out of the bag.
My food is cold now and shit because of his dumbass.
I placed the food on the counter next to the microwave and walked into my room. Steam came out of the cracked bathroom door indicating that Jakari is in the shower.
I stripped out of clothes, threw them into the basket and walked into the bathroom.
Steam filled the bathroom but I could still see his silhouette behind the shower doors.
I opened the glass doors and got in. Water cascaded down his naked body like a waterfall.
I wrapped my arms around his waist and laid my head on his back.
"I don't want anything to happen to you," I mumbled against his back.
He turned around and pulled me against him, placing a kiss against my lips.
"Nothing, will," He mumbled against my lips.

Do any of y'all watch Grey's Anatomy?
I had started binge watching it a month ago and now I regret it. It was good but all of the good characters either die or leave. 🙄
Thanks For Reading 😘😘
