lani's pov
i woke up the next morning and began getting ready for class. zari then texted and asked me to ride with her this morning, i replied with yes of course.
i threw on a white lululemon zip-up jacket with some slightly ripped jeans and my birkenstocks. i pulled my straight hair into a ponytail and sprayed some perfume.
i put on some eos lotion then picked up my phone to check my notifications to see that zari texted me saying she was outside
i grabbed my bag , phone , beats and ipad then jogged down the stairs
i grabbed my keys off the hook the. locked the door behind me.
i got in zari's car and placed everything at my feet.
"goodmorning beautiful", she greeted me with a slight smile
"goodmorning", i replied with a smile as well
"im sorry about yesterday.", she started off before i cut her off
"no it's okay you don't have to-", i said before she cut me off
"im sorry that i shut down and started moving weird before expressing my feelings to you. its normal for me to shut others out because i expect the worst, cause the worst is all i've ever known.", she explained as we locked eyes and i felt every emotion she expressed
"its okay zari. really. it's okay to feel a bit insecure , you're human. with feelings. take your time expressing them, i'll be here when you're ready", i said placing her hand in mine
she lightly grasped my neck and pulled me in for a kiss as the tension between us ceased.
what a perfect moment.
we pulled out of the kiss and i smiled at her as she put the car in drive and pulled off.
...
i was on the way to my first class after having to separate from zari so she could go to hers, when i ran into amiri.
i was on my ipad when i bumped into him, not paying attention. i looked up and as i fixed my mouth to say sorry, i realized who it was and swallowed my apology.
"i'm sorry lani", he said looking into my eyes
"its cool", i said hurrying my face back into my ipad before he gently grasped my arm trying to get my attention
