I Found You

Chapter 52

I walked downstairs and grabbed my car keys. When I got in my car I saw that D had left her jacket.

"I guess we goin over her house today."

I mumbled to myself.

I got to the restaurant and looked for Quay but couldn't see him.

ON THE PHONE

Chrystal: Q where you at?

Quay: Stay right there. I'll meet you at the door.

Chrystal: Okay.

He hung up the phone. After that, I got a message from Deena asking if I had seen her jacket. I told her, yeah and I was gonna drop it off after I left.

"Hey, baby." I looked up and saw Quay walking up to me, with his arms open.

"Hey." I hugged him and went in for a kiss, but he moved his head so I'll kiss his cheek.

Here he goes with this bullshit.

I followed him to our table which was in the back where there weren't a lot of people.

"Quay," I said, sitting down in the booth.

"Yeah," he said, looking at his phone and sat it face down.

I stared at him for a minute. He gave me a smile showing his bottom grille. I rolled my eyes.

"You get on nerves." He chuckled.

"Yeah, I know. I ordered a few seconds ago." I nodded, feeling that my vibe is about to be ruined.

"CeCe, what's wrong?" I drank some of my water.

"Why do you do that?"

"Do what love?"

"Avoid kissing me in public. Are you scared ya little hoes might see it on the internet?" I'm honestly fed up with the back and forth, about showing each other affection in public.

He knows how I feel about it but continues to do it.

"Don't start Chrystal."

"I'm not startin nothin', I just want to understand why it's so hard for you to show love in public." He rolled his eyes, and leaned back. His phone started ringing. He picked it up and declined the call.

"We've talked about this already, I don't know what else I can tell you."

"Oh, okay, you don't wanna show you got a girl because of ya hoes."

"Yeah, sure if that's what you want to believe."

Our food came and he started to eat.

"Excuse me, can you separate the check and get a to-go plate, please?" The waitress nodded.

"What the fuck C."

"What I'm given you time to spend wit ya hoes, since they're more important than this relationship." The waitress came back with the check for my food, and some to-go containers.

I don't know why I expected anything different from him. I'm tired of putting what I need to the side to be with him.

"C" He said trying to get my attention, I continued to put my food in the containers.

"Cece," he grabbed my wrist, I paused and slowly removed it and continued to pack my stuff.

I got up and started walking out.

"Selena- shit I meant Chrystal" Did this ni- I know he-

I looked back at him.

"What the fuck did you call me?" Some people started looking at us, but I didn't care.

"You know what it doesn't matter, I'm done. You and Sarina or whoever the hell can have a nice life." I turned back around, and walked out. I felt my eyes burn but I held it in. I'm done crying over this dumb shit.

All I ask for is to show me you love me everywhere we go, not just behind closed doors.

I went to the front and handed the waitress the check and my card. I paid for my food and left.

I went straight to Deena's house.

ON THE PHONE

Chrystal: Open the door.

Deena: You know you could've texted this to me, right?

I rolled my eyes.

Chrystal: Just open the door.

Deena opens the door and I hang up.

I followed her into the living room where she was watching TV.

"Here you go," I said, giving her the jacket before sitting down.

"What he do girl," I closed my eyes and huffed.

"He called me Selena." I heard a gasp. I nodded my head embarrassed.

"Oh fuck nah, let's go." She hopped up off the couch, walking to the door.

"Go where?" She turned around, with a 'are you dumb' look on her face.

"To beat his ass."

"But you have no clothes on," I looked down and saw she had on an oversized tee and boy shorts under it.

She ran upstairs and came back down with some sweatpants on.

"You know it's hot as fuck outside, right?"

"Girl, if you don't bring ya ass and come on here."

"But...food," I whined out. I'm starving and she wants me to fight a grown man.

She rolled her eyes.

"Eat on the way."

I got up and followed her with my food.

I'm dying of hunger right now and she wants me to catch a charge on an empty stomach?! I think not.

We get in the car and I start eating as she pulls out the driveway.

"Can you put on ya seatbelt, please." I looked at her.

"We about to go and catch a domestic charge and you worried about a seatbelt?"

"Okay, I wanna hear that exact same thing when we crash and you're thrown 7 miles down the street through the windshield."

I rolled my eyes and put the seatbelt on.

"Put his address in." I put the address in the GPS.

When we got there I didn't see his car in the driveway. But there was a car I never seen before.

We parked far away from the house but close enough to see what was what.

"He's not here."

"It looks like somebody is home."

"Yeah." I said biting my lip, trying to figure out what the hell I got myself into.

"Let's just wait till he gets here." Deena said

"D...let's leave" I'm not about to fight with someone who isn't even worth my time.

"Shut up, we not goin nowhere," She said, pullin out her phone.
