Curved Line

Chapter 39- Get ta steppin'

| Rolo |

After Ziare took Raylin into the kitchen to talk Trevis decided to make up the lamest lie I've ever heard just to get me and ReZay to speak. I don't know why they keep doing this shit, she obviously looked me dead in my eyes and said she didn't want me or have feelings for me so why am I going to keep trying? Its pointless. I love that girl to death but sometimes you have to let shit be and let that motherfucker figure shit out on they own, she gone come around.

They always do.

I sat down and silently watched what was playing on the T.V , I could see from the corner of my eye that ReZay was uncomfortable and she kept fidgeting.

I chuckled a little bit. "Wassup Ma?" I asked her while I continued to look forward. "You talking to me?" She asked dumbfoundedly. "Who else would I be talking to? You and I the only ones in this room, am I right?" I asked finally facing her.

Damn. She so beautiful, with her smooth chocolate skin, the way she tries to hide her smile and the way her hair falls on her shoulders. "Fuck I gotta stop." I said lowly to myself as I took my focus off of her face and back to the TV show playing.

"Oh, I didn't know you were talking to me. I-I thought you were mad at me." She said shyly. "I can't be mad at you for your own decision. Shit that's on you, as much as I wanted your decision to be yes I still can't be mad." I said half telling the truth.

I'm not mad , but I am hurt.

"About that." She paused, my attention was back on her. She kept avoiding looking at me. "What about it Ma?" I asked curiously. "and look at me while you talking to me." I said a bit louder. She looked back at me. "Okay maybe what I said the other day wasn't the truth." I smirked. "Whatchu mean?" I asked trying to understand.

"I didn't me--" she was cut off by Ziare barging through the kitchen doors. "How could you just tell my business to a stranger like that?" She yelled at me. "What the hell are you talking about Zi?" I asked confused.

Raylin walked into the living room smiling.

I know this bitch didn't!

"Don't sit up in my fucking house and act as if you don't know what I'm talking about! How could you tell her my mom was a crack head and that I was raped! Rolo why? You are so wrong for that!" She was yelling and crying. " What's going on?" Trevis asked as he stood near ReZay.

"He told this bitch that my mom was a crack head and I was raped." Ziare pointed at Raylin. "Watch ya mouth." Raylin interrupted. "Cool that shit down hoe." ReZay chimed in.

"Why would you do that?" ReZay and Trevis both said.

It's not even like that man. " I swear I was drunk when I told her that. You know I wouldn't just tell your business like that Zi , I'm sorry. I'm telling you the truth, I was drunk off my ass and we were talking about some shit and she was just asking questions about my family and I told her I ain't have one and y'all was the only ones closest to as blood, she wanted to know more about y'all. I'm sorry Zi." I pleaded. "So you decided to tell her something like that? What else did you tell her?" Trevis raised his voice while he sat Ziare down.

"Aye bruh chill with that yelling at me like I'm some type of child. I said I was sorry and that was the farthest part we got to talking about. I was drunk , I ain't know what I was doing. I would never do Zi like that if I was sober, that's like my little sister. I ain't mean no harm." I said telling the truth.

"How am I supposed to trust you anymore?" Ziare asked.

Damn that hurt.

"Zi you know I'm sorry man, I've been knowing you for the longest. You ain't gotta question me about that. It'll never happen again, I didn't go into details or no shit like that... I don't even know why she would even pull some shit like that with you." I said walking towards Zi. "That was foul as fuck what do you mean I don't have to question you about that? Obviously I do since you going around telling her my fucking business! Do you know how much that shit hurts?" She cried hysterically. "Come on." I pulled her up and walked outside to the back yard.
