Reaching The Stars

Sixteen

Myra's POV

Onyx is like a fly who won't go away no matter what you try to do.

He's very persistent and straightforward with his words. I'm not going to keep lying and say I don't want him because I do it's the matter of morals and this isn't the right thing to do.

"Look at you, in your thoughts about that sexy white piece of ass." I snapped my head over to where Ashanti was at.

I snorted at her comment. "Shut the fuck up!" She laughs.

"Admit it babes, you're captivated over him. I mean I can see why." I roll my eyes. Of course she'll say that.

"I'm m not captivated over him." Im lying out my ass.

"Myra Zsmaira Lashay, look me in the eyes and tell me you don't have any interest in him. Tell me that you don't think about dating him or even fucking him." Wow she definitely knows I can't do that. Truth is I want everything with him. Good and the bad.

I huff, "Fine, I'm admitting that I want something more with him. His fine sexy ass." I smile just thinking about him.

Fuck, look what he is doing to me.

"Girl, look at that smile. You definitely have a big ass crush on him. Go for it, shoot yo shot mami." I laugh at her. She never fails to make me laugh.

"Fine, we're supposed to go somewhere, his request later tonight." She smiles.

"Get your white chocolate babes. Anyways I'm going to work see you later and I want the details." She blows me a kiss and leaves the house.

I shake my head, never fails to cheer me up.

It's just me alone in the house bored as shit.

Either go see Onyx or get my nails and toes done.

Nails and toes done then I will randomly show up at his house no warning. I definitely know he's not at work.

I go up to my room put on some sandals and get my wallet and phone. I go downstairs to where all my car keys is and I grab the Range Rover set.

I open my garage door and leave in my car. Blasting my throwback r&b playlist, I go to my favorite nail shop, since my nail tech is my cousin she always squeezes me in.

Walking in, I greet me favorite cousin.

"Myra so good to see you." My cousin Lila greets me. I go up to hug her.

"Hey Lila, you think you can get me together?" I ask her knowing she won't say no.

"Sure, you want nails and toes or just nails." She tells me as I sit in the seat.

"Both." I smile up at her. Yes my cousin owns a nail shop and it's the only one I go to.

"Go sit in the seat, I'll be right back." I nod and go sit in my favorite chair while she does my toes first.

I always get white gel on my toes and today I'm thinking about light blue nails with designs. I always ask her to customize the designs and let me tell you, she does it the best.

As I'm soaking my feet in the lil tub, Lila asks me a question. "So who you tryna look good for?" Not even shocked to her question.

"No one." I say and she raises an eyebrow.

"Okay maybe a guy who I may or may not have a crush on." Wow second time I've admitted it.

"Girl who's this mysterious man. Is he cute and does he have an older brother." I laugh.

"This white man is fine as fuck, and he only has a younger brother." She recently got divorced for her ex husband who she shares two kids with. She seems more happier than when she was married to that dumbass.

"Oh a fine white guy, branching out I see you. What's his name." I laugh, I've been known to only date black guys.

"Onyx Graham." I tell her.

She looks at me, "That Italian hot ass. Give me all the details." At this point she has finished my feet and now I'm sitting getting my nails done. I tell her the exact color that I want and let her do whatever designs.

"You know Ashanti always wants to go out to a bar so we went and had a one night stand with him. Turns out the interview I had was with him at his company. Boom here we are and we mostly flirt with each other. Nothing has happened since the night at the bar but lowkey I want it to happen." I tell her the shortest version.

She looks at me, "Myra Zsmaira Lashay Johnson." She scolded me.

"Lila really did you have to use my full name." I stare at her.

"Yes I did, I mean this in a nice way. Are you stupid, I know that man feels a deep feeling for you. Are you blind?" Well damn. She called me out.

"I must be. But we will talk it out later tonight wherever he's taking me."

We continue to talk after she finishes my nails.

"Stop by the house soon, Jasmine and Sadé would love to see you." I smile. My babies.

My twin babies. They finna be 13 in a month.

"Oh I definitely will. I've missed them." I pay for both and tell her bye.

I walk to my car and drive myself home.

I get an incoming call on bluetooth from none other than Onyx.

"Hey wassup." I say once I answer.

"Hello darling how are you?" He asks me. Swear never fails to make me smile.

"I'm good, just got my nails done. How are you?" I say to him.

"I'm well now that I'm hearing your voice." How sweet.

"I'm flattered. Did you need to tell me something?" I ask.

"Swing by my house amore." He says. That Italian accent will never fail to make me melt especially when both his southern and Italian accent mix. Lord Jesus.

"Okay let me pick up some food, want anything." I give in so easily.

"Whatever you getting." I roll my eyes.

"See you soon!" We bid goodbyes and I'm going to pick up some Chinese.

I always get pineapple chicken with crab rangoons. Yes I know I'm a fat ass. I also get some egg rolls and orange chicken.

After I leave with my food I drive over to Onyx's house.

We finna eat good as fuck.

If we decide to go somewhere, Onyx request, then we'll talk about what this is and how I feel about him.

I'm not backing out of this. We will figure this out.
