Best Friends

3:13am

Maria Pov

My eyes shoot open and I'm in a bedroom that does not look like my own. The room is dark except for a dim light that is barely showing the room.

A cold breeze enter the room that makes me tremble and I wrap my arms around myself. At this point I realise I'm in a big shirt and not the clothes I wore to the party.

Oh shit the guys, Brandy.

I shouldn't have followed her to the stupid party.

A pain shoot through my head but I fight through the pain while holding my head.

"You good?"

My heart rate speed up but then relax just by the sound of the voice.

I look around the room and spot him sitting on a single sofa near the balcony door. He is shirtless, revealing his chest tattooes. A splif in his mouth and gun on his lap with his hand on it.

Why does he have a gun on his lap?

"Y....yes, how did you find me...?"

I barely manage to reply. I don't know if it's the cold or if it's the image Infront of me but my words are limited at the moment. Not to mention the pounding in my head.

He put out his spliff, walk to my direction, place the gun on the night table and climb on the bed beside me while never breaking eye contact.

"The best thing you do right now a just nuh talk."

"Why?"

"Yow a because you nuh know wah mi wah do you inuh Ria." He says rubbing the back of his hand over my face.

"I didn't do anything with anyone, I only took one drink and...."

"Why the fuck you go after mi tell you fi stay home? Especially ina the dress weh a show under you."

"Only because you took off the dress."

"Mi never haffi tek it off fi know seh your pussy out a door." He snap.

"I had on a thong Kahjeel. I'm not stupid to go pantyless."

"In your peanut brain you think wah u say just now mek sense doh."

He looks at me and shake his head, under the dim light I can see a faint frown before he climb off the bed and walk to his bathroom.

My eyes are heavy and I feel this overwhelmed feeling of tiredness so I give in and close my eyes.

I'll just wake before day and go to my room since I'm so comfortable here.

2:33pm

I open my eyes and stretch seeing the sun outside shining in the room. With a much brighter light I can definitely enjoy the scenery outside.

The room door opens and Kahjeel walks in with a bottle of water and some fruits.

He place them on the night table beside me without a single glance at me.

I grab his wrist before he can walk away and still he refuses to look at me.

"I'm sorry Kahjeel."

He ease his hand from mine and walk into his closet without a word.

I pull the sheet from over me and climb off the bed, the minute I stand I feel dizzy and knock a few things over on the night table.

"Fuck B" I hear him hiss before rushing to assist me.

He lift me back on the bed then grab the water and fruits off the ground.

"I was angry and wrong and I see that now. Please, your the only person that care for me and I don't want to loose you." I beg looking at him.

"You should a know that before you take yourself and go a the party in the first place."

"I know now. This is my first mistake and I'm asking for your forgiveness."

"I did not want to be with you because I needed a relationship, we both know I can get any female I want. Six at once if I choose but I wanted to be with you because from the first day I saw you I felt at peace." I can hear the pain in his voice as he speaks to me.

"I know...."

"Let me finish Maria. I wanted you because you made me feel loved and cared for. You know what I do but you never once judged me. I would have laid my life down for you Maria but you tore that shit up and didn't give a fuck."

"Do you hate me?" I ask with tears running down my cheeks.

He frown then look away again. "B just sleep off the drugs and thing. Me nuh hate you, mi just disappointed inna you."

"What does that mean for our relationship?" I asked even though I'm scared to hear an answer.

"Honestly Maria, mi nuh think your ready for a relationship with me. Mi have some business fi deal with so me might forward late." He says in one breathe.

He fix his jewelry and about to move away when I grab his wrist and pull him closer to me.

"I'm sorry Kahjeel."

"Mi hear you but me affi cut now."

I crash my lips on his and at first I'm in control until he gives in. Both our tongues are fighting for dominance until he wins. I feel his hand roaming all over my body.

"Yow Busshead. A time inuh." Skull call from outside.

We both pull apart looking into each others eyes until he step away.

"Kahjeel....." I beckon to him.

"I'll talk to you later Maria." He says walking out without even a second glance.

I don't know if it's the way he said it or it is the frown on his face but all of a sudden I feel small and stupid.

What the hell did I do? Why did I go to that stupid party with Brandy?

My phone light up and it's a few missed calls from Jody, Nique and Skull.

I decide to call Nique first. She answer on the third ring.

"You finally up."

"I'm so sorry about yesterday Nique, I was just so mad at Kahjeel."

"Nah go say what happened was good but mi understand. We need to talk but I gotta go now so I'll come see you later." She disconnect and I sigh.

I climb out of the bed then make it before glancing back to make sure everything is in order before I leave.

Thank fully no one is downstairs when I reach to the kitchen, I grab a orange juice then head to my room.
