me & tomfoolery

On Call | PJ Washington

The only way for me to get back into writing was to just... write. This wasn't even what was next, I thought of this today 😭

Kianna tapped the counter as she waited for her phone call to go through. For the third time in the last two hours, PJ did not answer the phone. He had been playing with her and she had reached her limit. She was about to crash out.

Two people that certainly shouldn't be dealing with one another, just couldn't stay away. PJ was intoxicating, from his stature, to his voice, down to the way he sucked the spot below her earlobe.

Kianna met him at a club in Charlotte while visiting a friend during homecoming and they never fell out of touch. When he got traded to her hometown, she knew it was bound to be trouble and that he would make good on his advances prior.

8 Months Ago...

"Why you tryna act like you ain't stuntin me?"

"Boy what? I'm not." Kianna waved him off before putting her hand on her thigh. PJ took a look at her hand placement before licking his lips.

"Man, quit playing Ki. You been acting funny since I met you but here you are, sitting in my hotel suite not talkin about shit. Why you even here?"

Why was Kianna there? Maybe she had been bored? Maybe she enjoyed his company. Whatever it was, it was the sole reason they were sitting across from each other.

"Cause you said you had food." She shrugged. And it was the truth, PJ indeed offered her food during their link. He smirked, there was a brown paper bag with grease spots on a nearby table.

"You right, I said that. You can take that and do what you gotta do." Kianna was taken back by the switch in his demeanor.

She watched carefully as he navigated around the space. His large hands lazily adjusting his pants even though they would fall right back below his waist in a few movements. Phone in hand, PJ made a few swipes before getting on a call.

Opening the bag, Kianna was delighted to see some street tacos from her favorite spot. As she indulged, PJ continued to make moves. He planned to go out with his teammates and have a good time. 

"Aye I'm about to take a shower and then head out. You want me to drop you off or you wanna stay here?"

The question caused a lump in her throat. "Huh?"

"I said you wanna stay here or you want me to drop you off?"

"Well, where you going?" She asked with a mouth full of food. "Damn girl, swallow first."

Deeply rolling her eyes, Kianna did in fact swallowed before asking her question again.

"I'm going to a lounge."

"And you not gonna invite me?" She asked turning her nose up. She didn't want to go but being as though he proposed that they linked, she was curious what was so important that he wanted to leave.

"You barely wanna be here with me  but you expected me to invite you outside?"

Kianna stewed in her seat as her best friends Taylor and Ramone cackled back and forth about what they planned on doing this evening.

"What you over there mad for?" Ramone asked added a layer of clear gloss to his lips. "I know why she mad."

"Well somebody tell me."
