My Best Friend's Boyfriend

Chapter 15

*Kendrick's Pov*
I really slipped up now, bro. I can't believe I called Lisa's name out loud like that. shawty has been on my mind all day long. Even when I was shopping for Emory, I imagined that I had Lisa on my arm. Lisa is an independent chick, mami can do for herself and help me make us a we. Unlike Emory, who always want everything, always complaining, always having a attitude. Lisa, Lisa, Lisa. I'm gonna have to get her and Emory back to being friends again cause I need to see shawty again. I have the perfect plan. "Baby. I think you need to make up with Lisa. Bae you know that y'all have been down for each other for forever. Now stop acting and tell her to come over for dinner." I said. "Fine. Whatever. I am only doing this because you are getting on my nerves." Emory said. Man her attitude so bad. "I texted her and she said that we can talk about it... And what's for dinner? Emory said. "Fried fish, fried okra, macaroni and cheese, mashed potatoes and gravy with fresh green beans." I was really cooking up something special for my baby, before Lisa was coming I was about to make some sub sandwiches but, now it's time to really show down. "I texted her babe and she said that she was on her way. But, she isn't happy. I gave her directions too." Emory said. "Emory baby you gotta chill with that attitude and just be nice to her. Lisa is a sweet person and she didn't deserve all of that. Now go wash up baby girl and make sure you lookin good for me when you come out." I said. "Aiight." She said and walked off swinging her weave. I heard a knock at the door 30 minutes later, Emory was still in the bathroom so I knew this was my chance to really be smooth with Lisa. I opened the door and I was shocked at what I saw. Baby was bad to the bone, (Lisa's and Emory's outfits at top. Lisa (left) Emory (right)) she was classy and everything I needed and wanted in a girl. "Hey Kendrick." Lisa said. "Wassup lil mama what's good? Lol." I said. "Something smells good in here! I want whatever you have cooking in those pots over there." She said. "Well have a seat right here and I will give you a taste of my culinary expertise." I laughed and pulled out her chair for her. "What is that smell?? It stank in here! Kendrick we should have went out to eat cause you can't cook." Emory said as she sat down at the table with her "ghetto girl" outfit on. "You can't speak?" Lisa said. "Hey Lisa, dang!" Emory smacked her teeth. "Lisa would you like some garlic mashed potatoes? You look very nice by the way." I said. "Yeah that's cool and thanks." She said. I could tell that her mood had changed since Emory walked in. I tuned back around to fix her plate and hide my grin then, I felt a smack on the back of my head and I had to catch myself and turn around before I fired whoever that was up. I saw Emory holding a pot. "The next time you disrespect me in our house, this will go upside your head instead of my fist." Emory said. "I was going to fix your plate but I didn't know what you wanted." I said. "We have been dating all this time and the first time you cook, you don't know what I want? Wouldn't you assume I would want everything?" Emory said. "Emory sit down." Lisa said. "And you...the next time I catch you batting your fake eyelashes or strutting your 200 pound body anywhere near my boyfriend....we are going to have some serious issues." Emory said. "Baby girl I don't want her! All I want is you bae." I said as I tried to pull her away from Lisa's face. She smacked me and ran into the bedroom. I grabbed my face as a tear rolled down my cheek. I ain't a punk but, she made my skull rattle with that smack she gave me I know my cheek was bruised. "Oh my gosh!!" Lisa screamed. She got up and got me a cold towel and pressed it gently on my cheek, she sat on my lap as she patted my face gently. "Is that better?" Lisa said. "Way better." I said and wrapped my arm around her waist. She got up quickly and went to the kitchen to get her food. "Why did you move?" I asked. "Because, I am not that kind of girl who would date her best friend's current boyfriend." She said. I looked at her with the highest respect. This was the girl of my dreams.
