I took a deep breath, walking out of the bathroom
with jahseh. He promised to take his meds immediately when we get home and he knows I'm still upset with him.
I know it wasn't him but who am I supposed to be mad at. There has to be some specialist or someone he can see to fix this problem.
When we reached our booth we found Stokeley and Laysia making out.
"Ahem," I chuckled as they jumped and looked away from each other embarrassingly.
"So how was the quickie?" Lay asked me.
"Oh shut up how was the make out sesh?" I asked her.
She blushed and shut her mouth. Yeah okay.
I took my seat and watched as jahseh slid in the seat Next me. He looked at me and I saw the guilt in his eyes.
I can't be mad at him. I know it wasn't his fault. But we're gonna have a good talk in private. I don't do that putting people on blast shit.
I cupped his face and pecked his lips, "it's okay I promise." I whispered to him.
He nodded his head and kissed my nose before sitting against his seat and wrapping his arm over my shoulder.
I leaned my head against his shoulder and took a sip of my drink just as the waitress came back to the table with a few plates.
She eyed Jahseh as she sat his plate down in front of him, "let me know if I can get you anything else."
"Bitch how about you get your thirsty ass off my homegirls man and get us another waitress," Lay said before I even got the chance to speak.
"Yeah.. what she said please," jahseh stated. "You're making my girl uncomfortable."
I smiled at Jahseh, hearing him call me his girl made me happy.
She looked embarrassed as she sat down my plate and hurried away. My mouth watered looking at the delicious meal In front of me.
I picked up my fork, digging into my salad immediately. "Thank you, Jah." I told Jahseh before taking the first bite.
He nodded his head and picked up his fork and knife, cutting a piece of steak off and eating it.
I smiled as I watched Laysia and Stokes say goodbye to each other. I yawned, leaning into Jahseh's arms.
He stood behind me with his arms draped over my shoulders.
Laysia came walking over to me. "I'm gonna ride with him We're gonna meet at your house."
"Okay well don't do anything I wouldn't do," I joked.
"And what wouldn't you do?"
"Miss girl I'm a virgin I would never," I joked.
"You're fucking lying," she told me.
"I'm really not."
"You know what, good for you I wish I had waited for my first time to be special." She told me.
I nodded my head awkwardly. I was embarrassed to be the only virgin in the group. I know there's nothing wrong with it but I just feel left out sometimes when they talk about sexual things.
"Well I'll see you at the house we can get ready together," she told me and then walked over to Stokeley's car.
Jahseh looked at me, "let me see the keys."
"Mm mmm. You told me I could use your car today. I wanna drive," I told him.
He rolled his eyes, "fine let's ygo."
I smiled and unlocked the car, getting in the drivers seat. I started the car and waited for Jahseh to get settled In his seat before pulling out of the parking lot.
I pulled into the main road and started the short drive home. "So we should talk." I told Jahseh.
He sighed. "Okay."
"I need to know that you'll be taking your meds everyday because you can't just forget a pill and then beat my ass and then pretend nothing happened."
I explained.
"I promise from this day forward I will take my meds every single day."
"Is there like therapy or a specialist you can see about this?" I asked.
He nodded his head, "I just never tried it. But I'll try it. I'll make an appointment and try."
I nodded my head, "as long as you're trying that's all I ask."
