Chapter 42

Micky

Me: Do you wanna talk about it?
I'm here...

Kayon: um straight
Thanks

Me:if you change your mind ..hit me up

I closed my phone back and watched Cole and Lani slow dancing. Yes, I ended up back at his condo. There wouldn't be a repeat, because I was standing firm on...what is she doing? Lani started taking off her clothes, and so did he. No! No, I wasn't doing this tonight. I stood up as best my wobbly legs would allow me and tried walking towards the guess room. I made it just past them, but tripped on my own foot. Cole caught me. Now holding me in his arms, we locked eyes. I could feel the heat radiating off of his body. "Careful, can't have you falling..." he said it in a way I was sure had some deeper message.

"Right," I stood up and took a step back, only to bump into her.

"Have fun with us again?"

I turned to face her. "I'm tired, imma go lay down."

When I made it to the bedroom, I stripped down to my shorts. All of Cole's beds were so soft, the pillows were like feathers. A deep slumber was calling my name. I put a pillow between my knees, curled up and closed my eyelids.

The porch light turned on as we stood outside the door for me to unlock it. Once it was open, I let him walk in first. He walked towards my room and I followed behind him. "Need anything before we go to the room?"

I watched as he shook his head. When we were in my room he took a seat on the bed. "You should be bringing Chris here tonight, not me."

"The person who is here, is the person who is supposed to be. Imma be here for you Kay, ain't shit you gon change bout that."

He accepted what he knew to be true.

"Where she even came from?"

"Wish I knew. You think someone maybe dropped her off and kept driving?"

"Possible,"

"You gon sleep in that or you want some of my shorts?"

"The shorts...you think that's why I'm like that with sex and no attachment?"

When he said this I stopped and thought hard. "Like, how you mean...explain a lil more."

"Like, I can kinda just fuck with no emotion, I don't have to give a fuck about the person, and also I love to fuck. I think about it more often than I let on." He laughed uncomfortably. "Maybe, I have some type of problem or some shit...Ion know."

"Oh because how she sell her body with no emotion?"

He nodded.

"I think you both do care though. Obviously, everything she has done is taking a toll on her....kinda think she uses drugs and alcohol to cope...but it's only so long you can hold them demons off." I handed him the shorts.

"I wanna believe she love me, you know?" He was staring down at his hands.

"She does Kay," I walked to him and held his chin, stroking it. "Let me see my favorite eyes." He lifted his face, his eyes were red from crying, still that beautiful brown. "You not a mistake, aaight?"
