Not Your Side Chick

Chapter 3

5 Months later

Naudia P.O.V

I woke up another day. I had finally graduated and landed a job as a kindergarten teacher. Life had been good I guess. I mean other than me and my best friend relationship. We've fallen off over the last 5 months. He doesn't come around much unless he needs some advice or help to fix his tie.  I feel more like his go to than his bestfriend. On a better note, Mosiah and I have become best friends. Me him and Aliyah do everything together. He partners with a construction company. I got up and hopped into the shower after 30 minutes I got out. The door bell rung. I wrapped my towel around me thinking it was Aliyah who always comes over in the morning to have coffee with me. I unlock he door to find Jerome standing at my door. I stare at him for a second trying to figure out what he needs.

Jerome: so are you gonna stare at me or let a nigga in??

I blushed before opening the door wider. He walked in looking around. 

Jerome: I see you redecorated 

Me: yep I thought things needed a little change

Jerome: why blue green and grey

Me: cause its' me, Aliyah, and Mo's favorite colors they helped me decorate.

Jerome: ooh

Me: so what do you need??

Jerome: I can't come and visit my bestfriend

Me: well you don't come around unless you need something soo.......

Jerome: ooh... what are you up to??

Me: ooh my gosh I'm gonna be late

I ran upstairs and quickly lotioned my body. I threw on my navy blue fit and flare dress, my beige cardigan, and my beige flats. I straightened my hair and put some lip gloss on and grabbed my purse and phone. When I walked out of my room Jerome was looking at the pictures on the wall. 

Jerome: when did yall do this??

Me: oh that was the day we went to the water park to celebrate me getting my teaching job. I called but you didn't answer. 

Jerome: you're a teacher??

Me: yep a group of kindergartners which I should be on the way to go teach soon.

Jerome: I missed a lot haven't I?

Me: yeah a good bit of stuff but you're making new memories of your own.

Jerome: yeah I umm... I was wondering if you think I should......

"BESTTTTYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Mo shouted as he walked in.

Jerome: That nigga gotta key???

Me: yep

Mosiah: hey aren't you supposed to be gone??

Me: yeah but I had some company.

Jerome: umm maybe after you get off we could hook up so I could tell you something????
