Betrayed By Someone Close(Urban Fiction)

Comfortable

Reggie

Why do it seem like I always find myself at the mall mostly every other day? I even find myself sitting watching Lisha from a distance. This obsession I have with her is basically driving me crazy. I want to know everything about her. What's her favorite color? What's her favorite movie? What's her favorite type of music? What's her favorite food? I had it bad. If I don't get her soon, I think I will lose my mind.

I walked to the food court, and sat at the table , Lisha and I used that day I came into the mall. I saw her walk in the food court with a stresed look on her face. I wanted to kiss it away. Her make-up was on point yet again. I don't even know what she need with make-up. Her skin was already beautiful. I saw her heading my way. I smiled at her, she smiled back.

She came and sat next to me.

"What you doing here Reggie?"

"Oh nothing nothing , just chilling. How's work coming along for ya?" I asked licking my lips. She stared at my lips. I smiled to myself.

"Uhh work going great. I like it. Plus I get a discount on the products so that's a plus in my book."

"Oh yeah? You like that stuff huh?"

"Like it? Boy I love it. Twan don't seem to notice though. You know he haven't brought me anything in a while. He haven't even told me he love me in how long."

Damn Twan was so far up Tiny ass his girl slipping right out his arms and about to be in a real nigga arms.

"Damn ma , I don't know what going on with him. We haven't really talk since we had a fall out."

Damn I said to much. Shit, damn how do I cover that up?

"No way? You two had a fall out, about what?" She said putting her arms on the table. Oh shoot I see she has a tattoo , it looked nice too. It was a rose with a green stem with her name in it.

"Oh nothing serious. You know how that go." I said not looking at her. "I don't want to talk about Twan. What's up with you? How have you been?"

"Very stressful, my mother has us living in a hotel." She said as tears filled her eyes. Damn her and these tears always have a brother all in his feelings.

"Damn ma , I'm sure things will get better." I touched her shoulder.

Surprise she didn't move away.

"No it won't, my father is cheating on my mother." She wiped a tear from her eye before it fall.

I'm surprised she telling me all this stuff.

"Oh damn shawty, sorry to hear that." I said shaking my head. Her mother and her getting played to the left. That's some fucked up shit right there.

"That's not even the bad part. My dad is sleeping with my best friend mother."

Huh? What? Pause? I bet I know what friend it was too. Damn now that's some shit. Tiny and her mother is so fucking wrong. What they trying to prove?

"Damn man. Lisha I'm so sorry to hear that." I grabbed her hand and squeezed. She looked at me , I looked at her. Time stopped, and started again. My heart skipped a beat. I couldn't look away from her. She cleared her throat and pulled her hand away.

"Well hmm I think I'll go back to work."

"No. Take the rest of the day off. I don't think you should be working with all that on your mind." I told her. Seriously man she doing to much. I know she stressed out. Where is her brother at with all this going on?

"Aye where your brother?"

"He lives in a hotel for now. We not speaking to each other right now. That's a story for another time." She said smiling at me .

Damn so it going to be another time?

I can't wait. I felt so comfortable around her. I can tell her anything, and I'm pretty sure she feels the same way. After that shit she shared with me. Hell why not?

"So you going to take the rest of the day off?" I asked her getting up from my seat. Pushed her seat back and let her got out it and pushed it back in.

"Yeah I'll make up something, but what am I going to do for the rest of the day? I don't want to go back to that hotel right now." She shaked her head and sucked her teeth.

"Let's go riding. I'm sure Twan wouldn't mind." I smiled over at her when she looked at me innocently.

"Sure. Let me go tell my manager what's up. Wait for me over there at Claire's." She pointed then disappear, just that fast.

Five minutes later she was back, walking back to me. Like she belong there with me. My plan is working. She will be mine, soon enough.

"Lets ride ma." I told her taking her hand. She didn't take it back. So I was good. Twan about to lose it all.
