Lost In The Game

II

**Later That Week**

Monique, Jurnee and I decided to go to the park after our sentimental moment. Kenny was out doing who knows what. "Jurnee, your brother friend, James, is cute," Monique said as we were walking back to our block. I laughed and Jurnee sighed.

"Tell him that then. He's on my porch," Jurnee replied pointing to the house. We all laughed as Monique became nervous and turned red. We followed Jurnee in the house and so did the boys. There was a note on the counter and it read:

Jurnee, Demyya and Kenny! The food is in the stove and I'm going to work. I might work a double so Kenny call me at 12am. Do not have more then seven more people in my house! & they are to leave no later than 8pm. -Love Mom

It was only 4:30pm so we could have company for a while. "Aye bro. I'm finna tell Quese, Rodrick and Antonio to come over here," James said to Kenny.

"Aight that's cool. But wait until we eat cuz we ain't got enough for everybody else. We already feeding you and her," he said pointing to Monique.

"My name is Monique and I didn't say I was hungry," Monique said back. We all laughed and made the food stretch.

Quese, Antonio and Rodrick came around 5:15. "So what we about to do? Rodrick asked. Everybody looked at each other.

"Oh I know. We could play truth or dare," James suggested. Everybody agreed as we got comfortable in the spacious living room.

Everybody was really coupled off but I don't even think they realized it. "Okay Demyya. Truth or dare?"Jurnee asked me.

"Why the hell I gotta go first?" I asked and Jurnee nudged me. "Truth", I responded.

"Is it true you wanna have sex with Kenny?" Jurnee asked. I laughed nervously. "Uhh. I don't know," I said looking at Kenny. Kenny was fine as hell. He bit his bottom lip and I turned my head.

"Answer it or you will have to have sex with him," Quese said laughing. She and James looked alike so they must've been siblings. She's also in some classes with me.

"Yea, I've thought about it," I said looking down and playing with my fingers. Kenny looked at me with the biggest smile. I blushed.

"Okay James. Truth or dare?" I asked.

"Dare," he replied. I looked at Monique and Jurnee busted out laughing.

"I dare you to kiss Monique on the lips,"I said grinning. He stood up and walked to Monique and kissed her.

Their kiss started getting heated as James picked Monique up and walked to the play room.

"Wellllll," I said laughing.

"How about we quit this game? Everybody know who they like anyway," Kenny said standing up. I watched Quese and Antonio go into the basement, Jurnee and Rodrick went to her room and Kenny led me to his. Kenny was a really sweet person. So we just talked about ourselves and got to know each other. We laughed and took pictures. He posted some pictures on his Instagram captioning them "Me And My Bestfriend.🙌"

It was 7:54pm when we walked downstairs. "Ayeee! Stop what y'all doing. Cus y'all gotta go!" Kenny yelled through house.

You could hear everybody laughing as they made their way to the front. Everybody said their goodbyes and left.

"Now what?" Jurnee asked watching everyone leave.

"I'll be back in 10 minute y'all," Kenny said walking out the door.

"Did you have sex with my brother?" Jurnee asked.

"No. Did you have sex with Rodrick?" I questioned, curiously. She didn't say nothing so I took that as a yes. "Jurnee!" I laughed.

"Well I needed a good nut," she said. "You know my brother want you. Have fun loosen up. It'll just be us tonight," she laughed. We just laid on the couch, watching LAHHATL.

Kenny came back in with Rodrick and Jurnee's eyes lit up. "Hey baby!" she exclaimed. Rodrick and Jurnee left me and Kenny in the living room. Kenny sat where Jurnee was sitting and cuddled up next to me. It felt good laying with somebody I wanted. I couldn't help but think about Michael's bitch ass. I was scared to see him again.

"Demyya?" Kenny said breaking my thoughts.

"Yea?" I said focusing on his pretty brown eyes.

"I wanna make you my girl," he said looking in my eyes.

I wanted to believe him but he has too many hoes. I'm too young to be having boyfriend drama. "Uh, what about Kierra? Ain't that girl pregnant by you?" I asked leaning up off him. I looked at the worry on his face.

"That's not my baby. She was pregnant before I had sex with her," he said sincerely.

We laid on the couch watching movies. "NeNe, she's just a friend!" Rodrick said running down the steps.

"You're a lying bastard," Jurnee yelled coming down behind him. "We've been together three months Jurnee. Why would I cheat on you with Asia? I know you hate that girl." Rodrick said explaining himself.

"That gives her all the reason to wanna be with you. I quit tryna make you happy. First it was Destiny and now Asia. Fuck you Rod. I hate you." Jurnee said running up the steps.

"Man what the fuck you do now? I told you about hurting my lil sister.", Kenny said getting in Rodrick face. "You can treat hoes like that dawg. But not my lil sister." Kenny continued. I pulled Kenny out of Rodrick's face.

"Kenny chill. Y'all been friends way too long for this. It's my fault for thinking someone like y'all could be faithful." Jurnee said looking down the steps. Rodrick and Kenny did their friendship hand shake and sat on the couch. I went upstairs with Jurnee.

"That bitch texted his phone not once, not twice but three times Myya." Jurnee said sitting on her bed. "Yall been together three months. Three text messages in 90 days. Give that boy a break." I said laying at the end of the bed.

"Not since we been together Demyya. All tonight!" I didn't say anything. "First text, I ignored it. Second text, I was getting suspicious. That last text though! I was fed up. Bitch was like 'When can we fuck again?'. I swear I'm done with him."

I just let Jurnee talk. That's how she really wanted it. She didn't want a response just yet. "All niggas are the same. This shit gets old." I couldn't really agree with her on that statement but I didn't say anything. Jurnee talked and cried for an hour. Eventually she stopped and we talked about our personal lives.

"You know we been friends for 5 years and I've never met your family. I mean, we talked about your moma and stepdad but I wanna meet them." I didn't respond. "We never discussed our daddy's either.", Jurnee said.

I looked out the window not really wanting to talk about my daddy. "Yea I don't like talking about him." I said sitting up in the bed.

"My daddy used to beat on my moma when I was a baby. He got married to a woman and left my moma to raise us alone."

I sat and contemplated whether I wanted to tell my story, even about my horrible stepdad. I let Jurnee tell me about her moma always working and never was home. How her oldest brother was killed having sex with his girlfriend's moma. Jurnee cried "I miss my brother so much Demyya. He's been gone almost seven years." I hugged her and let her cry in my arms. She trust me so I should let my guard down and trust her. Finally, I decided to tell Jurnee about me. The real me. Demyya Jordaan Thomas.
