Real Love?

Chapter 36

Jade POV

We were all playing pool until it was 9 o'clock. All of us knew that we wanted to watch Empire together so we brought all the food 5 minutes before the show started. I sat down in my little corner. Michael sat next to, only to avoid Maya.

"Nope. Take the somewhere else Michael." I said

"What? I can't sit next to my bestfriend now?" he asked

I chuckled, "You a lie."

He hugged me, "I proved I want to sit here, not only to avoid Maya but because I miss hanging out with my bestie."

"Mhmm.." I said

Right when he was about to say something, Empire started and there was someone banging on my front door.

"They gonna have to wait until it goes to commercial." I said

Everyone chuckled but very quietly. While we were watching, I noticed McCoy was really mad. He was sitting by himself, not talking, or smiling. Everyone knows McCoy is ALWAYS smiling. I decided I would talk to him later.

It went to commercial break and I raced to the front door. I looked out the window to see Jordan with pizza, and another girl with her who had Chinese food. I opened the door and let them in.

"Hey Jade." Jordan said

"Hey girl." I said, giving her a hug

"Jade, I want you to meet Riley. Riley this is Jade." she said

"Nice to meet you." I said

"Likewise." Riley said

"Is Ryan here?" Jordan asked

"No. I guess she cancelled on us tonight." I said

"Oh, well what took you so long to let us in girl? It's too cold out there."

"EMPIRE IS ON!!!" I said running back downstairs with them following me

I sat down next to Michael, right when the commercials ended.

"HEY RILEY!!" Everyone yelled

"Am I the only one that didn't know her before this?" I asked

"No, you knew her. You guys weren't friendly when you knew her." Micaela said

I looked at her confused and asked, "May I know where and when I knew her?"

"We'll give you answers during commercial breaks." Maya said

I sat in frustration but Michael hit me.

"Don't think about hitting someone." he said, without looking at me

I smiled at how well he knew me. We were watching until Micaela started screaming.

"What the fuck? I can't hear!" Maya yelled

"Jennifer Hudson is slaying!!!" Micaela yelled

"Shut up." Jordan told her

We were on the part were Jennifer got down on the floor with Andre.

"10 dollars that she is gonna make out with him." Riley said

"20 dollars that she'll have sex with him." Jordan said

"30 dollars she won't do anything." I said

"Deal." both Riley and Jordan said

I started praying that they wouldn't do anything.

"If you win, we split it." Michael whispered

We all starred at the television like we had to or we would die. Jennifer was so close to Andre and then said, "Let's pray."

Micaela, Maya, and I busted out laughing.

"This bitch led him on and said 'Let's pray'. How do you feel Jordan and Riley?" Maya asked, lauging

Jordan walked over to me with her money and Riley's. She handed it to me and rolled her eyes.

"It's okay Jordan. You'll win a bet some day." I said, laughing

"Whaterrr." she said

Michael put his hand out and slapped it. I sighed and gave him 20.

"Half means 30 Jade. You aren't slick." he said

"But I actually worked for it. Come on Michael."

"So thinking is working now? Jade hand me that ten." he said, with his hand still out

"Just give it to him, we all know you aren't going to win." Micaela said

I sucked my teeth and gave it to him, "Happy?"

"Thanks bestie." he said

We continued watching until commercials came on. I turned to where Micaela and Maya were.

"Explain." I said

"Primary school. You were best friends but one day she told you that she was moving." Maya said

"Then you got hella mad and started being mean to everyone." Micaela said, finishing Maya's sentence

"Oh..i'm sorry Riley." I said, putting my head down

"It's ok. We were young and didn't know what we were saying or doing." she said

"THE SHOWS BACK ON!!" Micaela yelled

"Raven Simone need to do something with that wig." Maya said

We all laughed and then all gasped. Raven's nigga, Reggie, pulled a gun on Jamal.

"You will be missed Jamal." Micaela said

"He ain't gon die." Michael said

"Someone is.." Micaela said

Then we heard Luscious say he was the baby daddy.

"THAT'S NASTY AS FUCK! WHAT THE HELL?" Maya yelled

"Right." I said

After the show was over, we just chilled together.

"Don't you guys miss doing this all the time?" Michael asked

Everyone nodded their heads.

"When and where is the next hangout?" I asked

"My house. Next weekend. We're going to Main Event & we'll watch a movie." Michael said

Everyone said ok and we all just started having out own conversations. I went over to McCoy was.

"Hey. You seem mad." I said

"I just don't like that August dude."

"Here we go with you being overprotective again." I said

"Whatever. I'm out!" he said leaving

I stood there confused. He doesn't even know August and he doesnt like him, it's not adding up to me.

"I'll talk to him." Michael said

I gave him a hug, "Thank you."

I went back downstairs and we just partied.
