Torn Between The Two.

Chapter 3.

Aaleeyah's POV.

I wake up to the smell of breakfast being made. I get out the bed, slide my flipflops on, walk down the hall to the bathroom, brushed my teeth, washed my face & my hair was still in curlers. I come out the bathroom & see my guy bestfriend Matthew, walking towards me with a tray of food on it & a cup of tea.

I smiled & said "Aww, that's sweet but, Matt you didn't have to".

Matthew said "Yeah, I did bestfriend now, to the kitchen we go Lee" as we laughed walking down the hall.

Me & Matthew sat down across from each other, he put our plates down in front of us. He gets our drinks & place them on the table in front of us as well & we said, prayer over the food & we began eating. I started playing with my eggs after two mouthfuls. I couldn't really eat & to think about it, I haven't really ate much since, me & Quan's bad breakup. I , me & Quan always broke up alot or disagreed a lot but, this time I was really done with him. I didn't wan mean t anything else to do with him. I didn't understand though, I broke up with him so, why was I hurting so bad? It felt like, he broke up with me, it felt like I lost apart of me. I sighed out loud & closed my eyes to keep from crying. I looked up & saw Matthew looking at me, I put my head down quickly & took a napkin out the bin on the table & wiped my face. Mattew got up & sat beside me. He pulled me into his arms & held me all I could do was cry more. I loved the fact Matt was here for me. I mean, of course what are bestfriends for?

10 minutes later.

He let me go & I was feeling a little better.

I smiled & he kissed my cheek & told me "You'll be just fine, I promise you Lee".

I smiled & got up off my chair, I dump the extra food off my plate in the trash & then, sat the plate in the sink.

Matthew got up, walked over to the sink, wet a napkin on the tip & wiped my face with it.

Next, thing I know me & Matthew was staring into each other eyes.

He grabbed my side with both hands, quickly pulled me closed & kissed me right in the mouth. I didn't know what to think or do. Matthew, hands went from my side to my ass then, before I could put my hands around his neck my phone started vibrating loud against the table. I removed his hands to go see who was calling me.

I look on the caller I.D it said: unknown so, I decided to put it on speaker.

"Can, I ask who this is?"

"It's me, baby Daquan" he said with excitement.

I froze for a minute & looked up at Matthew he looked at me, sadly & turned & washed dishes. I moved to the living room & took, the phone off of speaker. I cleared my throat & counted to 5 slowly.

" Helllooooooo" Da'Quan said impatiently.

" Oh, um hey Quan ".

"Thought you hung up on me for a minute bae" He said angrily.

" Bae? that's funny but, look, Quan can, I do something for you?".

"What's up with you? Why, you gotta be all rud--look, let's just meet up today okay & talk about everything?"

I looked behind me & saw, Matthew just cutting off the water & he grabbed his shirt off the chair, looked at me & walked down the hall. I just counted to 5 & got back on the phone.

"I'm busy, right now okay? maybe, some other time". I said in a depressed tone.

"Well, bet okay Leeyah, It's always some bullish*t with you & I'm tired of it ya' know !"

I rolled my eyes & ended the call. I shouldn't of picked up for that dumb a**hole, I should of known that call would lead to nothing good. I went in the fridge & grabbed me a beer & opened it. I closed my eyes & thank god I didn't snap on him. I walked down, the hallway & saw, Matthew just coming out the bathroom, he grinned at me & I grinned back & I told him "It was Quan calling me once, again". He looked at me & said "Yeah, I figured" in a soft & low tone.

He went to turn & walk away but, I grabbed his hand & pulled him towards me. I looked at him & said "Matthew what's going on?" & he looked at me & said "Nothing" in a angrily voice & snatched his hand away from me. He moved past me, went to the counter & got his keys. I kept asking "What's wrong Matt?" & he looked at me & said, "I'm okay, I'll see you later I gotta run errands for My Pawpaw & Aunt alone" & he walked out the house slamming the door behind him. I stood there for 5 seconds & decided to go to the window but, soon as I went to the window I saw his yellow mustang pull off fast. I rolled my eyes & closed the curtain back up. I looked around & headed back to the guest room. I sat down on the bed & thought to myself long & hard about what happened between Me & Matthew in the kitchen 10 minutes before DaQuan called me.

What had happened in the kitchen affect Matthew? was that the reason, he dipped? Was he mad about me pushing him off? I need to know.

I decided to drop it & put on my boots & grab my cell phone out my left side of my bra & dialed "Tamia" number to see what she was doing? "You've reached the voicemail of--". I hung up & said "damn, the he'll she at?". I picked up my bookbag & put it on my back & zipped up my suitcase &

I walk over by the long mirror & saw, I looked real bummy. I had on a black v-neck t-shirt, black leggings on & red boots & I started laughing. My hair was stilll in rollers & I grabbed my handbag, put my cell phone in it & went down the hall, out the front door, locked the bottom lock & put my bags in the trunk & blasted Fetty wap x My way & drove down the road.
