You're So High Maintenance | Jaele (Completed)

14. Down For You & Loyal

It's a late night update! Enjoy!

About forty five or so minutes after Khalifa had officially ended friendship with Josiah, Kaiden, Reminisce and Savannah, he was inside some bowling alley with Stefani's cousin DaSanté.

He wanted to apologise to him for wrongly jumping to the conclusion that him and her were dating. In the meantime, DaSanté had apologised to him for ending their relationship.

He didn't mean to and Khalifa knew that, just not back when he was arguing with Stefani about everything.

Khalifa wanted to give Stefani space but at the same time he wanted to apologise to her as well, whether she wanted to see him or not.

DaSanté was even the one that had told him where was. Stefani didn't know he was there right now, with Khalifa freaking out as he had spied on her from behind a wall.

"I'm scared, D."

"There's nothing for you to be scared about." DaSanté had deadpanned, as Khalifa in the meantime was panicking. "Just talk to her. I'm sure things can't be that bad."

To say that Stefani was mad at him was an understatement. Khalifa was actually mad at her too- for a while.

Then he had stopped. The negative feelings had dissipated and he had started to miss her.

Whether or not Stefani had felt the same way was her own decision. The worst thing now was for her to have found someone else completely.

She was pretty popular so Khalifa had known that quite a few boys were interested in her.

This didn't bother him though because he knew she had loved him and she had even rejected them in front of him.

"What do you mean things can't be that bad? She's not even my girlfriend anymore. She's my ex girlfriend."

"Do you really need a girlfriend though? Especially right now? You know they kick you out of the school if you don't consistently get good grades."

"I mean, I'm not friends with those four anymore, am I? Not after what they had done to me. So Stefani is more or less the only person I have now, after you. I guess."

He had checked on what she was doing, some black kid that was about an inch taller than her was teaching her how to bowl properly and she was laughing.

He had dreadlocks, and Khalifa didn't know what he had looked like because he could have only seen the back of his head. He had red and white Adidas tracksuit on with black Jordan's.

Caleb, stop!!

That's how you bowl though.

It tickles.

Stefani always had a thing for dark skinned guys, with Khalifa realising this just now.

She had liked all guys as long as they were nice to her - but for some reason dark skinned guys were her type.

"When do you think I should go, DaSanté?"

"Left to me, I don't think you've given her enough space. Forty five minutes is not enough. But it's your life, not mine. Do what you want with it."

Khalifa had waited a while until Caleb disappeared, giving up when he had figured out that that wasn't going to happen.

He had signalled to DaSanté when he was going to leave, which was when Stefani and Caleb were talking to each other on the bench.
