I watched him as he turned on his bedside lamp instead of the light. I looked around his room just observing.

His room wasn't messy like I expected it to be. His dresser was clean beside his rolling tray and a sack of weed.

I sat on the edge of the bed watching him go through his drawers. After about 5 minutes He handed me a black t-shirt and a pair of basketball shorts.

"You want me to put this on" I asked staring at him.

"Yeah it's for you to shower and stuff" He chuckled wiping his hand down his face.

"C'mon" he said motioning for me to follow him.

I followed him into the bathroom as he showed me which one was hot and cold. He opened a cabinet revealing the towels and bathcloths.

He opened a drawer, grabbed a brand-new toothbrush, and handed it to me.

"Thank you" I said looking at him and untying my hair.

"Yeah it's no problem it feels good to have company I want but imma let you shower right quick" He said shrugging his shoulders and shutting the door behind him as he made his way back to the bedroom.

I turned on the shower and began to undress myself grabbing 2 bath cloths from the cabinet he showed me. I got in the shower thinking about what he said.

Thinking about Maine I didn't know much about him he was really a big mystery and I plan to figure him out.

After I had taken my shower Maine got in after me. I went into his room and sat on the bed while I waited for him. I scrolled on my phone as I waited after about 20 minutes he came back in the room with no shirt on and a pair of basketball shorts.

"Ouuu we twinning you gotta make tiktok's with me" I said sticking my tongue out.

"I don't make TikTok's" He said while standing at the dresser rolling up. He rolled 2 blunts for us and sat down on the beanbag chair in the corner of the room.

"Well too bad" I said showing him the TikTok we were gonna make after we were done smoking.

"And I wanna play 21 questions" I said smiling at him. He flashed a smile back at me while he lit the blunt.

"Let's do it then I'm going first" He said pulling the blunt and hitting a ghost.

"Okay" I said shrugging my shoulders I grabbed my phone searching for questions to ask each other.

"Why are you not looking for a relationship" He asked while pulling from the blunt and then passing it to me.

I took the blunt from him and pulled it a few times before answering his question.

"Honestly my ex fucked me up badly and I just ain't been the same ever since" I said looking at him and shrugged my shoulders.

"I feel you but you shouldn't let that stop you from finding better. He just fumbled the bag." He said grabbing the blunt from me.

"And how you know I said that" I looked at him confused knowing I only said that to Dejah earlier that night.

"You can't whisper worth a fuck gee" He laughed and coughed at the same time almost falling out of the beanbag chair.

"Okay my turn, What's your real name" I said as I sat my face on my chin waiting for him to answer.

"That's really your first question" He laughed and looked at me as he passed the blunt.

"Umm yes why wouldn't it be" I said chuckling and pulling from the blunt "Sooo what is it" I leaned into him so I could hear him.

"Jermaine but don't call me that" He said shaking his head and laughing.

"Jermaine" I said repeating him just to hear myself say it. Laughing after repeating it like 5 times.

"Igh igh my turn" He said as he lit the other blunt.

"You believe in true love" he asked looking at me deeply like he really wanted to know

"Yeah do you" I said looking at him.

"Yeah" He said pulling from the blunt.

After we finished playing 21 questions I did feel like I knew him more than what I did in the beginning. He put the blunt out and turned on the TV to Netflix. He threw me the remote for me to pick a TV show I picked Good Girls.

He turned the bedside lamp off as we both got under the covers and watched TV.

I woke up to the smell of pancakes and bacon and music blasting from downstairs, assuming Maine was downstairs cooking. I stretched as I got out of bed making my way downstairs.

"Good morning" He said when he saw me at the bottom of the stairs.

"Good morning why you got the music blasting at 9 am" I smiled then mugged him.

"Only way to start the day off baby" He laughed and flipped a pancake in the pan.

"mhm what are you cooking" I said as I sat at the island facing him.

"Breakfast obviously" he said looking at me like I was dumbfounded.

"You got a smart mouth boy" I said shaking my head. He took the pancake from the pan and began to fix both of us a plate. I sang along to the song as I watched him.

"So what" He said setting the plates on the countertop.

"So don't get smacked in it" I said rolling my eyes at him starting to eat my food.

The food was pretty good it's a good thing he can cook. We talked and ate our food, when we were done we put our dishes in the dishwasher.

We went back upstairs after eating and tidied his room up from us last night.

"I have to head out in a little bit" I said sitting on his bed poking my lips out because I really didn't want to leave him.

"Ight then ma why you looking like a lost puppy fix ya face" He said wiping the dresser off.

"Because I don't wanna go home" I said as I leaned back falling onto the pillow

"You act like you can't never come back" He said laughing and looking at me.

"It's not funny" I said as I sat up mugging him.

"It really is, you about to cry because you have to go home" He said sitting down on the bed.

"You can come back whenever you're done doing whatever you need to do" He said putting his arm around me and rubbing my shoulder.

"Okay" I said getting up grabbing my things from his nightstand and putting on my slides.

He followed me downstairs to the door so he could let me out. I hugged him before I left and made my way to my car. He watched the entire time until I pulled out of his driveway.
