Katoria Halim
I had my own room, but it connected to my father's room. Uncle Tahj and Uncle Ty shared a room, and Xae, Marlo, Darren and Jarret shared a room. Good thing there were two beds, a big chair and a pullout couch, but they'll figure it out.
I was in my room thinking to myself, when my phone buzzed.
Marlo💛- cousin, you still up?
yeah , why ?
Marlo💛- I needa talk to you, come open ya door
I texted my dad first, so he wouldn't think I was just letting anybody in my room and after he replied okay I went and opened the door. Marlo was looking stressed. I stepped to the side so he could come in then he closed the door.
He plopped down on my bed and sighed. I sat next to him.
"What's wrong?"
"It's Alexus. I don't know what to do anymore and I need a female's advice because them niggas in there keep saying fuck that bitch, but I really do love that girl."
"What's the problem?"
"Her old nigga back in Philly and people been hitting me up saying she been going places with him and when I bring it up, she gets mad and denies the shit. I wanna believe her, but I ain't stupid, Katoria."
"Well, don't take what I'm saying and run with it, 'cause I could be wrong, but what is there to be mad about if you're telling the truth?"
"That's what I'm talm bout! I'm starting not to trust her but honestly I want this shit to work 'cause we been at it for a minute."
"For how long?"
"Since eighth grade, and we seniors now."
"Damn, but hear me out. Just 'cause y'all been at it for a minute doesn't mean y'all meant to be. You could meet a girl tomorrow and fall in love with her and spend the rest of your life with her. For all you know, all this time you just been tolerating her ass, but like I said, don't run with that. I could be wrong."
He sat there for a moment taking in everything I said. I don't know where this side of me came from, but I like it.
"Thanks man. Aye, you sound like a counselor or some shit." He said making us both laugh.
"I know yo boyfriend happy." He said.
"I don't have one."
"Foreal? Well, yo ex-"
"Don't have one."
"Holup, you tellin' me you ain't ever had a boyfriend, Katoria?" He asked looking shocked. I nodded.
"You a virgin, too huh?"
I nodded.
"Keep it up lil cous, iono too many girls like you but now that I think about it, yo' meanass prolly chased off anyone that tried to get at you." He said and I put my head down because he was right.
"I'm trying to change, but part of me won't let that mean part of me go and it's crazy 'cause it feel right." I said shrugging.
"It's cool, I know you mean well, and plus, we all know it's Uncle Kenn fault." He said making me laugh, then I yawned.
"Alright, see you tomorrow sleepy.Goodnight." He said mushing my head before getting up.
"Goodnight Marlo." I said and soon felt sleep take over me and I needed it, because tomorrow, we would be a lot of walking. Busch gardens is huge.
