It was a cold ass Saturday morning and Shania convinced me to stay with her at her house last night. I love shania but sometimes (All the time) I like being in my own room, in my own space and my own bed. And plus me and Christopher usually fall asleep on the phone at night. But obviously she didn't take no as an answer and here I am.
"Bitch stay out of my room" Shanté says barging into Shania's room
"What are you even talking about?" Shania says looking genuinely confused, she was a good actor.
"Where are my headphones? And don't lie because I already asked Jordan and he says he doesn't have them."
Jordan was their older brother and LAWWWDDD JESUS if I wasn't fat and he wasn't my bestfriend's brother I would be all over that. Shania nudges me extra hard in my stomach when he comes around because best believe I be staring.
"I don't have your dumbass headphones Shanté, I have my own." She was lying like hell.
"All I know is they better magically appear in my room while I'm gone or there's gonna be a problem." Shanté says with the upmost attitude.
"Bitch Ain't nobody scared of you, get the fuck outta my room with that shit." Shania says, standing up fast as shit might I add. and with that shante left the room. Of course she slammed the door on her way out.
"Give that girl her headphones back, don't nobody wanna be here while y'all fighting, that shits annoying as hell." I say. Them motherfuckers will fight anywhere. They got suspended from school one day because shanté told their mom that shania skipped a class. It was a mess.
"I'll give them back when I'm done with them." She says sitting on her bed slowly, clearly still irritated. "But anyways what were we talking about... oh yea Christopher. When is then next time he's coming down?" She asked as she picked up her phone
"I don't know yet, school has been kicking his ass lately and he needs to catch up." Me and Christopher have been "dating" for about 2 months now. I say dating in quotes because we're not together officially, just dating casually and its like a breath of fresh air. He comes down whenever he's free and we catch a movie or go out to dinner. Of course when we go out I have to make sure its the last thing we do because a bitch gotta go home and purge. I can't tell if its working or not, but its become such a big part of my daily routine that I can't go a meal without doing it. But about Christopher. There's something about that man that I can't explain. Hes so charming and everytime I see those pretty white teeth my knees buckle. He makes me so weak. I want to be around him at all time and It makes me so mad that I feel like this. Don't ask me why either.
"Well whenever he comes I want to meet him." Shania says still glued to her phone.
"Why do you want to meet him?" I ask genuinely. I'm lowkey nervous of the idea of them meeting because of how gorgeous shania is. She has pretty brown skin and big glossy hazel eyes. And her body was to die for. She could have any man she wanted and Christopher was the sexiest man I've seen in a while. I can see him realizing that he picked the wrong friend once he meets her.
"Because I want to see the man who has my best friend all giddy and happy like this."
"I am not "giddy", Im just enjoying myself." I say suppressing a smile
"Well whatever you want to call it, I like it. You're glowing." She says finally looking up
from her phone.
My phone started vibrating on her bed and of course it's Johnny. What? You thought he was out of the picture? Of course not. From what I heard him and Victoria are really through. Too bad I'm on to better things. And I know y'all are wondering why I didn't just block him. It's because I kind of like the attention, even though I'm not responding to him. Picturing him being a mess because I don't want to talk to him kind of make me smile.
"I'll let him know you want to meet him, maybe we can set up a day for us to go get lunch or something." I say looking up from my phone.
"Perfect. Come to the kitchen with me so we can get a snack or something, I'm Starving" She says getting off of her bed with me following right behind her.

By the time I got home I was exhausted. Shania forced me to go to a sneaker store with her and we were in there for THREE HOURS. I didn't even let her put her car in park infront of my driveway before I was sprinting out.
"I LOVE YOU TEXT ME WHEN YOU GET IN THE HOUSE." I yelled out as I was trying to keep my bookbag on my shoulder.
"I LOVE YOU TOO." she screamed out of her car window. Im sorry but my social meter was at a complete zero. I missed my bed. When I finally got to my front steps (winded as hell might I add) I frantically stuck my keys in the door to get it unlocked. When I walked in of course my dad was on the couch watching the news.
"How was shania's" he asked never looking away from the tv.
"Fine" I answered dryly walking up the steps
"Hey some lightskin dude dropped some flowers off for you." I Stopped dead in my tracks. Ain't no way in hell this nigga knocked on my door and dropped flowers off.
"What?" I Only asked because I hoped I Heard him wrong.
"They're on the dinning room table." I walked back down the steps and into the dining room. The most beautiful white and purple tulip arrangement I've ever seen. Inside the flowers was a clear stand with a card on it.
"I meant what I said in the car. I can't let us go."
US!?!? Nigga what us?? There never was an us. Thats the problem. The gesture was beautiful but for some reason it just pissed me off even more. I took the flowers off the table and carried them in my room. I could feel my dads eyes burning into me as I walked past him. When I got to my room i sat the flowers on the little dresser on the side of my bed and instantly took my phone out of my jacket pocket and face-timed Johnathon. After About 2 rings he picked up.
"Damn baby, I never thought I would see your name pop up on my phone again." He says with a smile. Ughh I could just slap him through the phone.
"Since when am I baby?" I asked looking puzzled at my phone.
"Come on now, you know you're my baby... Did you like the flowers?"
"They're beautiful, thank you." I said gazing over at them. They were beautiful, no guy has ever bought me flowers...
"Anything to make you smile baby girl."
"Okay johnny can you stop?" I say getting frustrated
"Stop what? Trying to make things right? I can't. I miss you so much you don't even understand" He sounds like he's about to cry at this point. We have been messing around for a little while and we did have some good times, but the bad times definitely outweigh the good.
"No you miss being inside of me. There's a difference. Look, I don't know what your plan is, but-"
"My plan is to get you to stop being mad at me so we can get our relationship started."
"You wanna be in a relationship with me so you can do me how you did Victoria?" I knew that would strike a nerve.
" No ! I can't do you like I did victoria because I cheated on Victoria with you! I want you Aaliyah, How can you not see that!?" I can't even tell if he's being genuine at this point.. I hate to say it but I think its working. I can't let him see that though.
"Johnny it sounds so good but I can't bite the bait. I'm sorry. You've done enough damage." And just like a scene out of a movie christopher starts face timing me.
"I gotta go somebody is calling me."
"Who is it ?"
"Johnny I have to go."' I don't even know why I called him. Even though I was saying all the right things I wanted to give in so bad. I answered Christophers call
"Hey pretty girl."
