Jug and Finesse

Method

I woke up in the morning and reached my arms out, stretching. Something felt off. I opened my eyes and found the bed empty. I rubbed his side of the covers and they were cold, meaning he left a while ago. I raised an eyebrow wondering where he went and why he didn't wake me up. I got out of the bed and headed to the bathroom to brush my teeth. 

When I finished, I flossed and washed my face. I dabbed my face on my towel and added moisturizer. I headed to the kitchen. Through the glass door, I could see Monae in the kitchen getting a granola bar. She was too short so she was standing on top of the counter, digging in the cabinet.

A wave of evil in me prayed she fell and broke her neck. The back door swung open and Jaylon ran in, soaked with sweat. He looked over to Monae on the counter for a second before making his way over to the steps. "Um Jaylon," Monae climbed off of the counter. He stepped back and sighed, "What?"

"Can you pass me the granola bar?" she asked, biting her lip. My fist clenched at my sides. Jaylon walked over to the cabinet and grabbed it. When he turned to hand her the box, she grabbed his waist. "I want you," she whined, licking her upper lip. I nearly walked in but I needed to see how this played out. Keshina climbed down the steps. She looked over at me and raised an eyebrow. I motioned for her to come over, she squatted down besides me and looked through the glass. "What the hell?" she whispered.

"Bitch can you stop touching me, damn," Jaylon stepped back. "Bitch?" she asked, stepping back too. "I don't want you, period. I want Shantii, you supposed to be her friend but you all over me, the fuck type shit is you on?" he asked. "I know but, I can't help my feelings. I want you," she stepped up so they were face to face. "Well I don't want you," he walked away and neared the steps. "You don't even care," she whined, wiping her eyes. She collapsed to the floor dramatically and started crying.

 Jaylon looked back and sighed. He walked over to her and yanked her up, "The fuck you crying for?" he asked. She wrapped her arms around his torso and started mumbling words into his chest. I rolled my eyes, willing the tears in my eyes to not fall. "Monae, get the fuck off of me," he protested, trying to back up but she tilted her head up and looked him in his eyes before landing her lips on his. He didn't step back, instead he stood frozen, like he always does. 

My vision blurred as she wrapped her legs around his waist and slowly slipped her tongue into his mouth. I waited for Jaylon to do something, anything, but when he remained still I stepped back from the kitchen and rushed up the steps. I reached my room, threw the door back and slammed it behind me. I refused to cry, only because it wasn't worth it. He can refuse someone as much as he wants but as soon as someone kisses him he becomes a statue.

Why cant he just push them away? This bitch got nice and comfortable with the kiss too, legs wrapped around him and everything. I heard someone beating on the door but I didn't feel like answering. I needed to clear my mind. "Please just go away," I tried not to but tears streaked my face. "Just open up Shantii," Keshina rattled the door knob. I got up and reluctantly opened the door.

No words. She locked the door and sat on the edge of my bed. "Don't be mad at Jaylon, Shantii," Shina rubbed my head. "Why not? He just stood there, like he always does. It's like common sense shuts off as soon as he kisses someone else," I wiped my lip. "When you left, he pushed her Shantii, you know he only wants you so what's the issue?" she asked.

"What do you mean? That's my boyfriend, why would I want him being kissed by anyone except for me? Plus, this bitch did the same thing yesterday, coming onto him in her room. I've just been thinking about it all night. I know that this is what he's used to though, girls will forever throw themselves at him. I can't check everybody Keshina, and eventually he's going to realize that I'm not it. He deserves better. I can't even look at myself sometimes without flinching. He's so much better than me, he deserves someone with that amount of confidence. I just don't understand why he's still here, why hasn't he seen that already?" I ran my fingers through my hair and ranted to her.
