What the fuck was that? I think to myself the songs still playing in the background. I've never wanted to kiss him so bad but I know that wasn't his intention. I hope that wasn't his intention because that would be a sick prank. I exhale the smoke he gave me in his face and look at him confused. I grab his phone and skip the ending of the song.

"It's called shotgunning, it's when two people share smoke. I saw it in a video a while back and I wanted to try it with someone." He goes to sit back down in his chair with the blunt. He continues to smoke and then hands the blunt back to me. I get off the bed and Zae looks at me confused.
He looks me up and down as I make my way over to his chair and stand in front of him. He looks up at my face and grabs my waist trying to pull me into his lap but I just bend one knee in between his legs as I try to mimic what he did. I inhale the smoke and softly lift his chin. His eyes are low still but you can see that they've gotten darker.
I open my mouth and let the smoke drift out of my mouth into his, our lips don't touch but I want them to. I blow out the rest of the smoke.
"Did I do it right? It was nice so I wanted to try it again now that I know what it is." I can tell I'm high because I let out a high giggle. He just stares at me but the way he's looking kind of makes me forget we're friends for a second. I try to snap myself back into reality before I make a decision I'm going to regret.
He licks his lips "Do it again," his voice sounds lower and slower "You did it right but this time blow it into my mouth instead of leaving your mouth open."
I try again this time following his directions. I look at him inhale the smoke and the smoke comes out of his nose. I want nothing more than to kiss him right now but I can't. I get up and jump back on his bed.
He's my friend and I know that if anything happens that it would get weird. He continues to smoke the blunt by himself for a little and I just scroll on TikTok. I try to distract myself from the song playing but it's kinda hard because apparently this is his shit. I've never heard this song before but I might listen to it again when I'm sober. I've noticed that each of the guys listen to different drill rappers.
I sigh and fall backwards into his bed. I close my eyes and let myself float away but I hone in on his voice when I need to ground myself. He gets quiet but the songs still playing. I don't think I heard the door close so maybe he just fell asleep in his chair. I open my eyes and see him standing over me. He can be so weird at times, he's in between my legs like he was a little while ago. I sit up and crack a smile.
"Can I help you?" I ask him again. He shakes his head and licks his lips. "So if I can't help you why are you standing and staring at me?" I tilt my head slightly to the side because I know it's something I just don't know what it is. He keeps staring at me and then staring at my lips. If he wants to kiss me he should just kiss me I thought he wasn't pussy so what is he waiting for?
"You're really pretty Amari." He smiles at me. I roll my eyes, I know that's not it even though I appreciate the compliment. "Thank you Isaiah, you're really pretty too, is that all?" He nods, he's such a liar but whatever I guess. I check my phone and see I have a couple missed text from my mom. She told me to come back home at a decent time because it's a school night, it's literally Saturday. Suddenly we hear a knock at his door.
"Izzy I'm home." It's a woman's voice. I raise my eyebrows as I realize his mom is home. My mouth makes an O and a stare at Zae realizing he's Izzy. I mischievously grin and whisper "Never tell me to call you Zae ever again. It's Izzy from now on." He has an annoyed look on his face and he whispers back "If you ever call me Izzy in public and around other people I will kill you." I silently laugh as he opens the door.
"Hey mommy!" is all he yells down the hall to another room.
"Did you eat?" is all the door yells back.
"Nah not yet but my friend Mari did and she said it was amazing." There was a slight pause and the door opened up.
"Mari? Whose Mari have I met her before?" I can hear her shuffling down the hall. She comes to the door and pokes her head in. I only have enough time to smile and wave. I'm still very high so my eyes are low. She chuckles and shakes her head
"She looks like she can eat some more, go down to the kitchen sweetie and make you another plate, there's aluminum foil in the drawer next to the fridge take you a plate home too." She has such a warm smile it's very comforting and homey.
" Izzy you go eat too that's why I made it. Can't have ya starving and getting all skinny on me." She laughs and walks back to her room.
I look at him the grin coming back on my face "Well Izzy let's go eat."
"I'm gonna kill you, you're not making it back home tonight." He reaches for my phone as I run down the stairs ahead of him. He reaches me and tries again but I hide it behind my back this time while I lean against the counter looking at him.
"Give me your phone so I can text your mom that you had a heart attack from overly spicy food." He wipes away fake tears " I tried to save her Ms. Greene but the pepper sauce got the best of her... and scene." I bust out laughing as he goes from fake crying to a straight face, he bows as I clap.
Izzy reaches around me to try and grab it my phone. I know he's faking a struggle because his wingspan is longer than my whole body. He leans on me and his eyes meet mine, they're still low but just like before they're a lot darker. He stares at me for a second glancing from my right eye to my left eye then down at my lips, and he licks his lips again.
He wraps his arms around my waist making sure to touch the skin that's showing. Maybe I'm high but it feels like fire as he traces the hem of my shirt. I look at him silently begging he's going to kiss me. He makes a circle on my side and my breath hitches. He does it again and I whine a little bit.
"Can I help you?" He says in a mocking tone while smiling. He's playing around with me and it's starting to annoy me. I want him to kiss me but I'm not going to beg. I nod my head and he slightly tilts his head to the side.
"And what can I help you with mama?" I don't know how or when he found that calling me "mama or ma" would make me feel things but I need him to stop. There is a Burberry shirt at the thrift store with his name if he doesn't quit playing. I turn around to grab me a plate and realize the positioning I was in.
He grabs my hips and bends me over the counter. I quickly turn back around, yes but no but yes but no. My mind is going a thousand miles and hour and I don't even know what to do. I walk past him and make me a plate of curry chicken and rice grab a fork and hurriedly walk upstairs right past him.
