The next morning

I woke up the next morning laying on his chest, skin to skin, wrapped in his warmth. His cologne still strong in my nose.

The room was still dark, the sun shined through the creeks of the black curtains. I looked up at his face admiring his features some more.

His long eyelashes curled so perfectly, he slept so peacefully it calmed me down on the fact that I just slept with a random man. A man who's probably no where near my age, well he looks my age but still we were in a club.

It's no way in hell he's my age unless he snuck in.

I have to admit my first time ever going to a club was fun. My friends always talked about it but I couldn't go cause Khalid..KHALID! My boy- my ex. I guess. Sadness took over me and my heart began to ache again. .

Me and Khalid have a tendency of being on and off but this time it's deeper.

"Why are you crying" his raspy voice spoke making me jump up covering myself.

"Whoa chill" He spoke siting up hugging me, I laid my head on his shoulders holding back more tears.

"It's ok, you can let it out" he said making me cry harder. I hugged him tightly and he hugged me back. I climbed in his lap feeling the comfort he provided.

I don't understood how I could be more comfortable with a stranger then a person I've known my whole life. I pulled away wiping my face "I'm sorry" I spoke climbing out his lap.

He got up grabbing something out his drawer, it was a t-shirt. In that moment I realized I was still naked so I quickly put it on. I grabbed my underwear off the floor putting them on as well.

"Are you hungry?" He asked softly making me nod looking down. He went out of the room causing me to grab my phone. I heard laughter and commotion outside of the room letting me know he didn't live alone. I immediately texted ari that I was ok and then put my phone back down.

I need to use the bathroom, he walked back in "the food will be here in a minute"

"Thanks, but do you have a bathroom?" I asked making him nod

"Come with me" he said making me follow him down the hall as the commotion went faint. I go straight into the bathroom using it cause god did I have to pee.

After I washed my hands about to leave out and ask for a toothbrush, I heard a knock on the door. I opened it seeing him

"There's toothbrushes and stuff in the cabinet" he stated "thank you" I respond

"I ordered you pancakes, eggs, and sausage if that's ok" he said

"Of course, thanks" I said gracefully, he's so nice. He smiled leaving out. I grabbed a toothbrush from the unopened box and face cloth. I brushed my teeth then washed my face with hot water.

One thing I hate about not being home is not having my face wash.

After, I went back into his room. He was sitting on the bed on his phone he looked up at me for a second and then went back on to it.

I shut the door back sitting at the end of the bed grabbing my phone till I was randomly pulling onto the top of the bed scaring me. I yelped a bit making him laugh.

"Why you acting like we ain't just fuck last night" he smiled down at me.

"Um, I should probably tell you something" I said sitting up making him sit up as well

"I'm 15" I stated

"So am i" he shrugged

"Well how'd you get in the club"

"The same way you did" he chuckled

"Oh" I said

"My names jahseh" Jahseh. The memory flashed back of her calling out his name as we danced.

"Naomi"

"I remember" he stated "Why were you crying this morning" he said making my heart stop

"I-uh. Boy problems" I gulp

"So" he shrugged

"He was my best friend and he cheated on me and got someone pregnant"

"Damn. He ain't shit" he spoke making me look at him "sorry" he said then the door opened "your foods...." A boy said getting quiet after seeing me

He just sat there with his mouth open "I'm sorry but uh, ya foods here jah"

"Ight" he spoke getting up

The boy whispered something out the door making another boy run in. He was skinny with a lot of hair and light skin

"Where?!" He searched until his eyes landed on me

"Damn, you fine girl" He said, I smiled awkwardly.

"Ok y'all making her uncomfortable get out" Jahseh spoke pushing them out the room and taking the food out the boy's hand. He shut and locked his door.

"Sorry, you good?" He asked

"Yeah" I spoke making him hand me my food "thanks"

-

"-for the ride" I said as we pulled up to Ariana's apartment building

"No problem, you got my number. Hit me up"

"K" I smiled getting out, I walked into the building hearing him pull away. I swear he's the nicest person I've ever met.

"Where were you all night" Khalid got in my face, his eyes were red.

"Khalid please leave me alone I need space"

"You need space!?" He followed me as I walked into the elevator

"Yes! I need to think! Do you understand what your putting me through mentally!"

"Clearly not enough when you come smelling like another man!" He yelled as I got off the elevator (he white yall he can't say nigga)(it's her being in love with a white man during black history month for me😑🤚🏽)

"Yeah just how you come to me leaving a baby in some random Groupie! Ass bitch!" I yelled slamming the door shut

"Naomi I swear to god open this door"

"Leave me alone!" I yelled going into my best friends bed room. Ari's mom works at 6 and it's 8 so I know fa sure she's not home. Ari slept peacefully in her bed as I grabbed her car keys because I know my bag is still in there.

I got into the parking lot that's for the community of the building finding her car. You park your car in a certain spot when you live in this building which means she was parked in g504 because she's on floor g and her apartment number is 504.

I unlock her car door grabbing my bag and then locking it back. I walk back into the building getting on the elevator going to her room and making sure to lock the doors back.

I go into the bathroom immediately turning on the shower and getting in. I sigh feeling the steamy water run down my body. That euphoria was quickly interrupted by my phone ranging.

I reached out the shower to pick it up. I didn't even check the contact I just answered

"Hello?"

'Good morning beautiful, I was just making sure you were ok' my grandma spoke

"Yeah mom I'm fine, I'm just taking a shower" I respond

'Ok, well I love you.'

"Ok, love you too" I said making her hang up.

I continued my comforting shower, my body felt so good...all stress just stripped away.
