Chapter 3

When Tristan woke up, Viridian was still sleeping.

The rain had not subsided as he could hear the pitter-patter sound of raindrops. They were still in the same position they had slept in. Tristan looked down at her body and began to trace the outline of her underwear with one finger. He sighed then stood up, going into the bathroom to pee after which he went into the living room then he put on the Tv, and picked up one of the sandwiches Viridian had made earlier. He went to get a drink before he sat down to enjoy his football game.

After a while, Viridian walked into the living room. She was putting on Tristan's shorts and she rubbed her eyes as she sat down. "When did you wake up?" She asked.

"About two hours ago. Did you sleep well?"

She nodded. Viridian took the tv remote and changed the channel. Tristan groaned as he lit up a spliff, placing it between his lips. He didn't like sappy romantic sitcoms.

He was getting bored. "What's your body count?" He asked.

Viridian choked on air at the sudden question, drawing her attention away from the television then she cleared her throat and looked at him. "Why?"

Tristan shrugged making her roll her eyes. "Since that time or after?" She asked.

"After."

"One. What about you?"

"Since that time or after?"

"Before that time."

"Uh, four."

"Why am I not surprised?" She rolled her eyes.

"You know this." He defended.

"I know just two and why are you defending yourself? It's not like I care."

"Yes, you do."

"No, I don't."

"Yes, you do." He insisted.

"No, I d-nevermind, what's your body count after that time?"

"Zero."

"For real?" Viridian was shocked.

Tristan nodded. "Why?"

Tristan eyed her body slowly. Before he could speak, someone rang the doorbell. Tristan went to get the door as Viridian adjusted herself on the sofa, crossing her legs and tucking her feet under her thighs.

"My nigga," Tristan dabbed Keon.

"Yo, pass me a spliff. Weather's fucking cold," Leon said, appearing behind his twin brother.

Tristan pointed at the glass table and Leon went to pick up a spliff. "Shawty," Keon greeted Viridian.

Danica walked in looking upset. She went to Viridian and hugged her immediately. "How was it?" Viridian asked.

"Annoying. I don't wanna talk about it," Danica held Viridian's wrist, taking a bite out of her sandwich.

Finally, everyone was sat. Leon eyed Viridian in Tristan's shorts. "Are you guys spending the night?" Viridian asked.

Danica and the twins nodded. Tristan's house was a three-bedroom duplex just like the twins' house. A room for him, Viridian and Danica shared one room while the twins shared the last room. "So what are we doing indoors? I thought we was gonna go out but it's been raining since morning," Keon said.

"Let's hit the club tonight," Tristan suggested.

"Nooo," Danica groaned.

"What's with you?" Tristan asked.
