The Way

Chris,

"Lani!" I yelled out jogging to catch up to her. She sighed turning to face me.

"Why you out here this late ma?" I stuffed my hands in my pocket looking at her face.

"Because..." She looked away.

"C'mon....." I grabbed her hand but she pulled away.

"I'm OK, I can handle myself...." I chuckled shaking my head.

"Really cause that's not what it looked like. They were bout to rape yo ass." I was getting annoyed.

"Whatever." She turned to walk away but I grabbed her.

"Get in the car." I said letting her go. She shook her head.

"No. I don't wanna go anywhere with you." I smacked my lips grabbed her arm tightly again.

"Get in the damn car!" I pushed her gently towards the car.

"Can you leave me alone."

"Can you get in the car?" She sighed loud and unnecessarily.

"No leave me alone. I don't wanna go with you." She insisted taking a step away from me. I didn't know what the fuck her problem was but she needed to get her shit in check.

Without exchanging any words with one another I picked her up bridal style walking over to my car sitting her in the passenger seat. Rushing over to the drivers seat. I pulled off quickly as silence took over.

When we pulled up to my place she immediately got out slamming the door shut like she was stupid.

"Calm yo ass down mutha fucka." I warned walking up to my front door. I unlocked the door letting her go in first. She threw herself on the couch with her arms crossed.

"Why am I here?" I ignored what she said.

"When you dome with yo bitch fit lemme know, I'm going to bed." I said leaving her alone in the living room going to my room. I don't like her but something telling me to help her out.

Lani,

He had a lot of nerves! He's so disrespectful it doesn't even make sense. Chris thinks he intimidates me but he doesn't. He snatches on me and shit like I'm a kid or something.

"Bastard." I mumbled once he left. I laid out on the couch trying to get comfortable but failed miserably. I got up to look for my bag so I could get a jacket to put on but sighed once I remembered I left it. Somebody got that by now.

I got up roaming each room until I found a guest room. Smiling to myself, I slid in the bed and as soon as my head hit that pillow I was out like a light.

I woke up the next morning to the sounds of voices. I heard a bunch of men voice so I figured Chris had some friends over. I pulled myself out the bed making it back up before walking out the room going into the living room. Him and his friends were all sitting down smoking and talking until I walked in.

"Damn, this you?" A light skin dude with a lot of tattoos said looking me up and down.

"Hell nah!" We said in unison. I can't believe his friend would say that, I don't even like Chris as a friend.

"Ight my bad don't kill a nigga." He said throwing his hands up in defeat.

"I'm just saying, she too stuck up for me." Chris mumbles and I scoffed.

"What does that make you?" He mugged me passing the blunt to some nigga with red hair.

"I don't know why I haven't put yo annoying ass out yet." He said shaking his head.

"Me either nigga." I mumbled putting on my shoes. His friends laughed like this was some type of comedy show.

"Where you going?" I smacked my lips moving loose strands out of my face.

"To mind my business. Thanks for letting me stay the night. Bye." I was halfway out the door when he called me again.

"Lani c'mere." I sighed turning around.

"Yes master?" I said sarcastically. He smirked like something was funny.

"I like that. But forreal you need a ride?" I shook my head no. They all stared at me making me so uncomfortable.

"Is there a problem?"

"Nah come here though," He stood up disappearing down the hall into his room. What the fuck do he want?

I walked in his room as he went into his closet coming out with some clothes. I looked from him to the clothes confused.

"What's this?" I really don't know what he's up to.

"Its just some clothes my ex girlfriend left over here. Wear this til you can go home and change." He explained, I stayed quiet looking down at my clothing. I looked like a homeless person. I am homeless.

"Um, thanks but I'm not going home. I'll take the clothes though, I do look rough." I chuckled taking the clothes out his hands.

"What you mean?" I sighed and before I could prevent this from happening I found myself telling him way too much.

"So, your homeless now?" He asked suming up what I said. I shrugged.

"I guess, but its fine. I still have my job so I'll just take on more hours." I turned to go in his bathroom leaving him in his room alone.

After I took a shower and got myself cleaned I felt so much better. I walked into his room to him on his bed. When he saw me he sat up.

Chris,

I sat up once Lani walked put Tue bathroom. She looked at me but didn't say anything.

"Stay here with me!" I blurted out accidentally. She looked like at me I was on drugs.

"No." She stated bluntly walking out the room into the room she slept in.

"Look, I'm not yo biggest fan right now but you don't need to he on the streets like that. Its not permanent." I insisted sitting on the bed. She shook her head picking up her phone, putting it in her bra.

"No thanks, I refuse to move in with you." She said and I sighed. This is what I hate about females. They so fucking stubborn.

"Why? You would rather be on the streets then stay here where your safe." She scoffed at what I said.

"Safe? I'm not nowhere near safe around you or your friends. You put a gun to my head, your rude as hell and your friends are just as bad. So yes, I would rather be on the streets then here with you." She said rolling her eyes. She walked out the room stomping down the stairs where everyone else was.

I had nothing to say cause she was somewhat right. I mean, I do got a lil temper but she need to take some of the blame as well. She can be a straight up bitch when she wants to. I been tryna talk to her for a long time, she always turned a nigga down. I'm not trippin if she wanna be out in the streets fuck her.
