The Perfect Family

Chapter 9

Quees

"Ayeeee! Turn that up!" I said to Randall as I flopped down on the couch. I saw a huge picture of me on the tv screen, cheesing.

Randall reached for the remote on the giant glass table and he turned the volume up.

"So you know that new r&b sensation Quees? We caught him and his new boo lockin' lips before his flight." The heavy set guy on TMZ said.

"Wait, let's see the picture. Wasn't he dating that other girl?" Harvey from TMZ asked.

The TV screen went from everybody in the office talking, to a pictures of Maya and I kissing to another set of pictures of me and Nique a few weeks back.

"Wasn't he just with his long time girlfriend like last week? Is he creeping? Look at new boo's face, you can tell she enjoyed the kiss but towards the third picture her smile is gone.. Like she's afraid of gettin caught." The outspoken black girl said as the camera zoomed to the third picture, capturing everything this girl just said.

"So are we callin mystery chick, new boo? because if so, I think I like new boo already." Harvey said. "She's got spunk, the way she wiped that smirk away so fast. You got caught new boo!" Everyone in the office started laughing.

"You see this?" I asked Randall, making sure I wasn't trippin. I mean I get in the tabloids every now and then but damn this is wild. Shit ain't even true.

"Yeah. Did you contact her?" Randall asked me, smothering his  toast in butter.

"I'm bout to call her to see if she peeped TMZ but she prolly saw the pics all over Instagram and Twitter. Hold up, ima call her now." I got off the couch and grabbed my iPhone six plus off the smooth, glass table.

"Siri call best-friend." I spoke into my phone and then right away it started ringing.

Kamaya

I rolled over on my side, trying to cuddle up with Dylan but I felt an empty, cold spot in the bed. I shot my eyes open as I heard a loud, crisp ringing. I saw that bed was empty, thinking that it was him probably calling, I scooted over to the edge of the bed and picked up my ringin phone from off the end table.

"Hello." I groggily mumbled.

"Maya? You just woke up?" I heard Quees say on the other line.

I pulled the phone away from my mouth and cleared my throat a bit. Then I brought the phone back to my face.

"Yeah, good morning." I tried to sound a bit cheery.

"How you doing?" His sexy voice asked.

"I'm good. How about you?" I sat up from the bed and wrapped the thick plush sheet around my naked body.

"Good. You see TMZ today?" He sounded a bit nervous which threw me off a bit.

"Ummm, no? Wassup? Everything okay?" I got up from the bed with the cover still wrapped around me and I peeked into Infinity's empty room on my way to the bathroom.

"Nah.. Well yeah, but they got this article up.." He stopped.

"What article?" I sat down, starting to pee.

"Are you in the bathroom?" He asked me.

"Yeah? How you know?" I got up and flushed the toilet and then I put my phone on speaker and placed it on the counter to wash my hands.

"I hear an echo and now I hear the water." He spoke.

"Yo observation skills A1." I admitted, shutting off the water.
