Secret Lessons

I sat outside the bar, feeling the cool night breeze against my skin. Kehlani had just left, rushing off after that phone call with Ian, my boyfriend. I really couldn't help but to feel embarrassed but I don't blame her, I would've left to after hearing that weird conversation too.

The night had started off so promisingly, with laughter and a few drinks. Kehlani's energy was infectious, and for a moment, I thought we were really connecting. But then the phone rang, and everything changed.

I watched her face shift from joy to concern in an instant. She barely said goodbye before she was gone, leaving me alone . Ian sure knows how to ruin things. This was the wrong time to be talking about fucking sex. I really thought that I made a new pal.

I took a deep breath, trying to shake off the lingering disappointment. Maybe it was for the best. I leaned back, staring up at the stars, wondering what the night would have been like if that call had never come.

We probably would've exchanged numbers or maybe even became good friends. Ian ruined that shit .

I sat outside for a little while longer, lost in my thoughts. The night air was cool, and the quiet was almost comforting. Suddenly, the door to the bar swung open, and I saw Ori step out, looking around.

"There you are!" he called out, spotting me. "I've been looking for you everywhere."

I smiled, relieved to see a familiar face. "Hey, Ori. Just needed some air." I smiled at him

He walked over and sat down next to me. "You okay? I noticed that you wasn't in the club" He smirked.

Why is he smirking?

"I'm fine Ori.. I literally texted you and you told me that you were about to get railed" I laughed

Ori glanced around, then back at me. "So, who was that girl you walked out with? She's hot. What's her deal?"

I chuckled softly." Her name is Kehlani. She's a very nice person.We were just talking, and then Ian ass called, and she left."

Ori raised an eyebrow " The bitch just up and left?"

I sighed " Yup.. If you would've heard that shit , You would have got up and left too." I shook my head

He tilted his head and shrugged " Hmm interesting, what the hell did he say that was so uncomfortable?

" He told me to come give him an blow job and he basically told me that I'm boring" I said to Ori

" No he didn't!" He put his hand over his mouth

" Yup. He did"

" And I thought that I was starting to like his ass! Now he is the enemy" he folded his arms

I turned to my best friend, Ori, and suggested, "Hey, do you want to leave? It's getting late. We could go sit at a deli or something, grab something to eat."

Ori smiled and nodded, "Sounds good girl. A late-night snack sounds perfect right now. What kind of food are you in the mood for?"

I thought for a moment, "I'm feeling like something cozy and comforting, maybe a warm bowl of soup or a delicious sandwich. How about you?"

Ori's rolled his eyes " I don't want no damn soup but you could eat that shit and I'll get a burger or some"

"Perfect," I agreed, standing up. "Let's go. It's getting late as hell."

As we walked to my car , Ori glanced over at me. "So, you never finished telling me about Kehlani. What's her story?"

I sighed, "She's new here and she's looking for a new job" I shrugged as I opened the door to get in the car
