Nick's Coffee Shop
Christopher Maurice Brown
"Enjoying the food, boys?" Onika asked us.
"Yea." Trey said with a full mouth.
"Nigga wipe ya mouth." I threw a napkin at him and picked up my grilled cheese. I dipped it in the tomato sauce and bit into it. I couldn't help but stare at Nika and August conversing about god knows what.
"Yea I'll call you." She smiled and took her phone from him.
"What y'all talking bout?" I butted in.
"I was tellin' Nika bout alla da' fun shit I be doin' and how I wanted ha' ta spend da' day wit' me."
"Oh really?"
"Yea. You aren't jealous, are you?" Hell yea!
"No. I'm good. Why don't we all spend the day together?"
"Yea me and August and you and your girlfriend."
Oh yea. I do got a girlfriend. "Yea that sounds great. How bout this weekend?" I suggested.
"Sounds great."
"Aight. I gotta get home baybeh. Ima talk ta ya ta'night?"
"Y-yea." He caressed her cheek with a finger and left out the diner. I just continued to eat my food and stare at her. I see what she tryna do.
2:30 p.m.
"Chris why you so quiet? Usually you'd be talking my ear off."
"I'm fine." I mumbled. We got to her house and I followed her inside.
She threw her stuff on the couch and slipped off her shoes and sat by me, grabbing the remote. "What did you wanna talk about?"
"Oh. Look I know you don't wanna do it and I respect your choices but can you please think about it?"
"Just tell me Chris."
"I want you to quit your job." She scrunched up her face.
"Chris I told I do-"
"I know you don't but please give it some thought."
"How am I supposed to provide for myself Chris? Have you thought about that?"
"Of course I did. Like I said, Ima take care of you."
"Chris you just don't get it. How will I know that? We're not together. I'm not sure if you're gonna be around that long."
"Please trust me on this."
"Chris the answer is no. It will always be no."
"Whether you like it or not, I'm still gon be giving you money every week for bills and to get you some things for yourself."
"Chris I really appreciate the gesture but do you think your girlfriend will have to say about this? I don't think she'd appreciate you giving a girl that you cheated on her with this much attention then you do her."
"Karrueche gon be okay. I buy her things and I give her money so she bet not say nothing."
"That's not the point. Look, you know what. I'm going upstairs. You have a key, you can let yourself out." She got up off the couch and walked upstairs to her room. I sighed and headed up there. Her door was locked.
"NikaBear please open the door." I said softly. She sighed and I heard her footsteps get closer and closer to the door. It swung open and I looked down at her beautiful, flawless face. Without thinking I cupped her face in my hands and crashed my lips onto hers. She hesitated before kissing back. I pushed her up against the wall, kicked the door closed and laid her on the bed.
"Condom." She breathed. I pulled one out of my pocket. "Ugh." She made a disgusted face and went back to kissing me.

"This was a mistake." I sat up and pulled the blanket over me.
"What was?"
"This. Us. This wasn't supposed to happen."
"It did and we both loved it. You can't deny that."
"You're right, I can't deny that I didn't like it. Or that I didn't want it to happen but I didn't want to cause more problems between you and your girlfriend."
"Okay I won't talk about it anymore."
"Its not just that. This can't happen anymore."
"Alright it won't. I promise. I just hope this didn't jeopardize our friendship."
I sighed. "It didn't. Just..don't talk about it."
"I won't." I checked my clock. "Chris you gotta go. Its after 9, your girlfriend is probably worried about you." He sucked his teeth and grabbed his pants and boxers.
"You taking me to work tomorrow?"
"Uh I'm not sure."
"Chris tell me now so I won't have to wait for you and then you don't come and I'm late."
"No Ima sleep in tomorrow."
"Okay. Goodnight."
"Night baby girl." He kissed my forehead and walked out my room. Why him? I picked up my phone, contemplating on whether or not I should text August. That would be kinda hoeish since I just accidentally slept with Chris. I gotta stop letting Chyna get to me.
To August: Hi, remember me?
From August: Idk, refresh my memory
To August: We met at the diner today
From August: Onika?
To August: Yea
From August: Hey what ya doin
To August: Nothin, just got up from a nap. Sorry I didn't text you earlier
From August: Its cool ma. I forgive you
To August: What you doin
From August: Watchin tv. Its boring as hell over here
To August: I know what you mean
From August: Im bout to call you
To August: And what if I dont answer
From August: You betta answer
And he did what he said. I smiled to myself, debating whether or not I should answer the phone.
"Hello."
"Ya betta had'a answered."
"And if I didn't?"
"I would'a beat ya ass." I giggled loudly.
"I like your accent." I complimented.
"Oh really?"
"Yea I think its sexy." I bit my lip. He chuckled.
"Well I like ya voice."
"Thank you."
"Ya got a ride ta' work in da' mornin'?"
"No, I ride the bus."
"Not ta'morrow. I'm takin' ya ta' work. What time I gotta be thea'?"
"Can you come at 6?"
