where are you taking me karter? khyia asked karter as he drove with the windows down overriding the music that played from the car. "sit back, you finna see" he responded and pulled into a parking space.
"come on grab my hand" he said putting his hand out for khyia to hold onto as he guided her through the trees in front of them. khyia did just that. "ion really play that forest at night shit, you don't know what kind of creeps out here" khyia said looking around the forest for someone to jump out. she was confused by the side quest, in her head panicking. what if he's a maniac, what if he kills me, what if ? man i dont know.
"baby i kill ppl & ian talm bout you. nb gon come out" he said
"alright look up khyia" karter said turning around to look at her "wow, its so pretty" she gasped removing her hand from his hold.
a waterfall was before them. the fire flys flew in the air and the sound of the water filled the silence that carried bats chirping.
"in dallas??? i ain't never seen this shit before" she said still not removing her eyes from the breathtaking water.
"my grandma took me here once and i just kept comin ta this mf to clear my head" he said sitting on a bench.
"really, this is beautiful. i wish i wouldve known this was here." she said sitting right next to him. leaving no space in-between them.
khyia always thought the things you saw in movies and read in books was fake. there was no "spark" there was no undeniable feelings. on a first date; those feelings must grow overtime. Yet she caught herself feeling every emotion she thought she couldn't. she thought to herself sitting on the bench with this man she just met and is now watching a waterfall with; about how crazy she sounde, fighting off every good thought. i dont know him.
they sat there and talked for hours, about everything. their families, their hopes and dreams, childhood stories to the simplest things like their favorite food. time flew past and hours turned into seconds.
it was 9, then it was 1am, then it was 3am. time wasn't on their minds, they enjoyed each others company and everything else fogged away. the drive home was silent, khyia stared at him as he drove. feelings flooding her head.
i just got out of a relationship. i cant do this, not again. its all an act.
khyia analyzes every mannerism with great detail. she wasn't going to allow herself to fall in anyone else's trap.
her thoughts were so heavy she didn't realize they were in front of her apartment complex.
"khyia, you good g?" k6 asked moving her hair out her face. she jumped at the motion.
"my bad, we at yo crib" he expressed as she looked startled from the unfamiliar touch. a small laugh leaving his lips.
"its ok, im sorry. day dreaming. thank you tho, i had fun" she said getting out and closing the door, walking as fast as she could to the main entrance. she swallowed her smile, not wanting to give him the satisfaction or herself for that matter.
"bye ms.khyia" he said out the window as she walked away.
"bye mr.k6"
"bestie is calling, bestie is calling"
"yea my?"
"where were you girl?"
"you have got to stop watching my location."
"oh my gosh you already like him khy?"
"what? no, girl bye!
beep.
