Roommates

Chapter 13

After I said my goodbyes to Quan, I decided to call Walmart to see if my files were transferred from the Walmart I worked at before. I didn't really want to look for a new job, so I asked my manager if she could transfer me.
"What's your name again sweetie" the manager of Walmart in Norfolk said through the phone.
"Uh, Erin Solomon" I choked up, I don't know why it was so hard for me to talk to strangers over the phone.
"Alright. Yes Miss Solomon, your paperwork has been transferred. If you could come here today and sign a couple things so we could get you ready and working, that'd be great!"
"Alright, thank you!" I hung up the phone and got dressed into blue skinny jeans, with a sort of baggy grey shirt, and suede brown sandals. I got my brown oversized purse and keys and headed to the door.
-----------------------------------
Since I was at Walmart, I decided to grab a couple of grocery items. I went into the house to see if Kj could come help me get the bags out of the car. I knocked on his door, and he was still not home. Maybe he came home and left. Oh well, guess I'll have to struggle by myself and put the groceries up.

Kj POV
I left yesterday 'cause I knew Erin and her dude was gone be there all day and ian wanna be around that shit. I stayed at my boy house. That night we turned up at club but left 'cause it won't lit as we thought it was gone be. Whole time I was at my nigga Tay house, I was wondering if Erin dude left so I could go tf home, but I doubt it, it was only 5:30pm and I know they probably don't wanna leave each other so soon. Tayon stomped into the living room. He was a lil nigga but the way he came down the hall you woulda thought he was a heavy-weight champ. "Ay bruh, I'm having a kickback tonight, you staying for that shit. We got weed and liq, and of course bitches, it's gone be lit man!" he sounded like the rapper Young Thug. I second guessed it, but I decided to just go ahead and attend this kickback since I won't going home til late night. "Yeah bruh, I just gotta stop by the house and get a outfit".
I came into the house to see Erin in the refrigerator with high waisted shorts on and loose fitted crop top. She always looked so good, even on her bad days. She peaked her head up from behind the refrigerator. I just strolled pass the kitchen as if I didn't see her. Her head stayed in place but I could feel her eyes following me.
"Well hi to you too Kj!" Her soft, sweet voice yelled out. I ignored her. It was cute when she tried to get serious, I couldn't take her seriously 'cause he voice was so small and soft. I heard her small footsteps coming down the hall. "How come you didn't make it home last night" she said while putting a green grape into her mouth. She chewed and smacked on the grape. She was being childish 'cause that's not how she chews foreal. "I was at my nigga house" I responded in a low tone. I stopped and twisted my lip to the side, side eying her "why you worried bout where I'm at anyway?", "boy, ain't nobody worried, I was just wondering."
She snapped her head back like she was laughing. "Wait...you're leaving again?" her soft voice spoke in a concerned way. I got my Columbia 11 Jordan's, a white v-neck, my tan pants while brushing pass her smooth skin "yeah". She followed behind me going into the "okay, well when will you be back?" I didn't answer her, I snatched my keys off the living room table and headed to the front door.

Erin POV
I was beginning to wonder where Kj was. I'm uncertain if he heard me asked when he'll be back because he didn't say anything. A juggle of the doorknob snapped me out of my thoughts. It seemed like the person on the other side of the door had trouble opening the door. It was 3:00am so I knew it wasn't our landlord, it had to be Kj but why is it such a hassle for him to open the door? I got up from the couch to look through the peephole. I couldn't see who it was because the persons head was covering the peephole. My heart started to thump and my face frowned up. The person on the other end said my name "Erin!" I was relieved to hear Kj's voice, only he sounded a little different. When I opened the door, he stumbled in almost pushing me down. "Are you drunk?" I asked him, "I just had a couple drinks" he giggled. I sashayed towards the bathroom. Kj came following behind and wrapped his muscular, tattooed arms around me. "Can you come to my room tonight...again"
