Nani Owens
Ever since I found out about Drew, my mind was dead set on him. How could they give up on him like that? Even after the way he treated me I still felt horrible. He was dead and gone and I never got the chance to apologize to him. I wasn't bawling or anything but I did feel awful. All of this had me thinking about how life was so short and you never know when someone can just leave and never come back. So with that being said, I decided to unblock Jaylin but I wasn't going to text him. He needed to redeem his self so I waited patiently.
After laying down just thinking I finally got out the bed and get the day started. I didn't have anything planned so I just decided to check my email because it was full of messages that I've been avoiding. Although I was starting college in august I was still getting harassed by my professors sending me the syllabus. Plus summer was low key boring without Jaylin in the equation, and all my friends wasn't talking anymore and I think it was going to stay like that.
While I was going through my email on the desktop downstairs, Kj came walking through the door.
"Oh shit, Look who it is? What trick you was with last night?" I joked
"Deauni ain't no trick" he replied
"Oop...not you was with your baby momma. I know what kind of night you had, I don't even have to ask for real." I said as I let out a laugh
"Nani shut up, you mad annoying" he responded
"So what's that about? Y'all just hooking up? Getting back together?" I asked
"Nani mind your business, since y'all call y'all selves not being friends no more, I don't think she would want me to share our business with yo nosy ass."
"Ohhhh it's like that? And I never said we wasn't friends, we just don't talk" I said
"Whatever you say big sister" he replied sarcastically
I just rolled my eyes and ignored him.
I continued to read my syllabuses and get some of the work that was required to do before the semester started but I quit after two hours. While I was logging off the computer, my phone got a text notification. It was from Jaylin, I was curious to what he had to say so I read it.
"Be ready by 6 o'clock." It read and bitch I was kind of intrigued and impressed because where the fuck was we going?
When it hit 5:45 Jaylin had told me that he was outside. I was excited to see him because I did miss him despite how things went down between us. I walked outside and got into the car and he looked and smelled so good.
"Wassup?" He said
"Hey..." although I was happy that we was talking again I didn't want him to know that
"You miss me?" He asked
"What you think?"
"I think you do but you don't want to admit it" he answered
"Yeah yeah, where we going?" I asked trying to change the subject
"You'll see"
We pulled off and headed to wherever and the whole time he was driving it was an awkward silence. I missed him so much but clearly we needed to resolve our unspoken issues. We pulled up to this hot air balloon place and bitch I was taken aback because I've never did anything like this. I had my reasons though because this was some white people shit. I was nervous but I knew he was going to be there the whole time so that kind of calmed me down.
"You ready?" He asked me before we got out the car
"Hell no but my momma ain't raise no pussy so let's go" I replied
We got out the car and he grabbed my hand. It took my by surprise but I let it happen.
Once we got in the hot air balloon my heart started pounding fast and I started to sweat a little bit.
"You good?" Jaylin asked
"No I'm a lil scared but I'm alright for the most part" I told him trying to be tough
"Nani, if you too scared we can always get out" he said
"No it's okay" I replied
He didn't say anything he just wrapped his arms around me and rested his chin on my shoulder.
"You know I love you right?" He stated
"Do you?" I asked for reassurance
"Yeah I do and I'm sorry for what I did. I was tripping, I should've told you that me and Robin were best friends. It's nothing going on between and nothing ever is, we just super close and always been there for each other"
"You could've told me that instead of making me meet her like that. I feel bad for how I acted in front of your mom, I don't like the idea of you having a girl best friend but she was here first so I'll accept it." I told him
"Thank you, I appreciate that. That's what I love about you...you ain't never scared to speak your mind" he turned me around and kissed me on my lips
