"I'm finna go," Kaliyah said, walking over to me all slow and dramatic, puckering her lips while cupping my face like she wasn't just about to leave me high and dry.
"Nooo," I whined, dragging the word out like a kid. "I don't want you to leave. I *be* missing you."
She laughed, all soft and teasing, and I couldn't help but melt a little. But nah, I wasn't letting her off easy. I swatted her hands off my face and pushed her back gently.
"Kiera, cut it out," she said, still laughing like this was a game.
"Stop talking to me," I said, mugging her hard and crossing my arms.
She tilted her head, giving me that damn smirk that always made my attitude disappear, no matter how hard I tried to hold on to it. "How 'bout this, baby," she said, her voice dropping into that sweet tone that made me weak. "I stay and sleep with you tonight, but in the morning, I go home to handle some stuff. Then, you can come over to my house, either to chill while I do my thing or to come with me while I run my errands. Either way, you're with me. Sound good?"
Why she gotta be so perfect?
I tried not to smile too hard, but she made it impossible. "If that's the case, we might as well just go to your house tonight," I said, already thinking about packing my bag.
She rolled her eyes, hands on her hips. "Didn't you just say you were tired like ten minutes ago? And it's cold as hell outside. Plus, your hair's still wet. You can't get sick on me, Kiera."
That made me smile for real. I loved when she fussed over me. "I can diffuse it really quick," I offered, sitting up like I was ready to move.
"Girl, no. We can just stay here, baby," she said, her voice soft and sweet. She leaned down to kiss my forehead, and I swore my heart did a lil' somersault.
She changed into the matching pajama set I bought us the other day, and my heart got all warm seeing her in it. She looked good, always did, but seeing her in something I picked out? That hit different.
I know y'all probably confused right now. Hell, I'm confused too. Me and Kaliyah been doing all this relationship shit—I love you's, cuddling, fucking and all that. But we ain't even in a relationship for real. And I ain't gon' lie... I feel bad as hell.
