Caught Up (SERIES PT. 3)

Pt. 12

"Dam that was so good. Im full as hell". We finished up our food and it was amazing. The show was so great, the food was on point and I would not mind coming back. They sure know how to keep people entertained while they eating.

"Mines was good too. Sorry if I ate like a fat girl". Jay grabbed the napkin and wiped around my mouth. I laughed and moved his hand. He such a corny guy but cute and sweet at the same time.

"You good mama. And for the record you didnt look like you were eating like a fat girl. Come on lets get out of here, I feel my bed calling my name". He paid for our food and we went outside and Jay said he was going to get the car so I waited in front of the resturant for him to pull up. Today was a good day even though I didnt want him spending money on me. Im honestly seeing a different side of him. Like something is a little different about him and I just cant figure it out. My phone started ringing and it was Frankie calling me. I hesitated on if I should answer or not. I paced back and forth just a little and ended up answering.

Hello?".

"Hey baby where you at?".

"Out handling some things. Wassup?".

"My mama want us to come over tonight, you gone come this time?". Shit. As bad as I want to go, I didnt want to be around Frankie today. Like I feel like she doing just a little too much, being up under me and thats not what I want from her. I think she feels like if we go out more or something that things gone change and yes its nice to go out with her but im still missing that feeling with her period. What I need is for her to step up and not try to fix the distance by spending more time with me. I know I need to have a talk with her about all this, I just dont know when or how. But I need to so she can stop with all the extra stuff she doing.

"I have tons of work to finish up babe. You know my show tomorrow. Tell your mom im sorry again, but I promise I will make it next time ok?".

"Alright babe i'll let her know. You sure you cant stop by for a quick second atleast?".

"If I can I will. I will try my best ok? Love you".

"Ok. Love you too babe". I hung up and Jay pulled up in front of the restaurant. I made my way to the car and got in.

"Everything ok? Look like something is wrong". Jay asked me.

"Im fine".

"Was that your girlfriend? I mean if there's problems with you being here or whatever I mean you dont have to go with me tonight, I can take you home".

"It was her, it was nothing. Besides I want to go with you, so ... im going". We went back to Jay house and I was gone chill there until the event tonight. I just wanted to get out, and just live for once. I actually missed Jay's company and im enjoying being around him. I dont feel hate or anger, I honestly feel like he's genuine. He can be fooling me and is doing a very good job at it. Until he proves me wrong, im going to stay on this journey of our friendship. I didnt say much in the car, so much was on my mind. I felt empty but in a sense of feeling alone. Its weird I know but im honestly on edge for a strange reason. I try not to work myself up or overthink because I tend to shut people out and im enjoying myself, so why ruin something good over something I can focus on later. We got back to Jay house and he took my bags upstairs. I took my shoes off and went upstairs with him.

"Everything is still the same I see". I said to him standing in front of his bedroom door.

"Um pretty much, im not much of a mover or anything like that. Im a simple guy I guess you can say. By the way you ok?". I nodded my head and he gave me a weird look. "Come on Lana, you know you can talk to me". He held his hand out to me and I grabbed it. We sat down on his bed and I knew I could talk to him but I didnt want to say anything about nothing. "Listen, if you dont wanna tell me let me know I wont ask". I didnt say anything and he just put his arm around me. "How about we just watch some movies, eat some snacks or whatever and just lay here. We dont have to talk we can just be here". I gave him the ok and he told me to pick the movies we would watch while he went downstairs and got us something to snack on. The whole time we sat here I was trying to fight tears of how I was feeling. But I got myself together, got the remote and put redbox on to see what looked interesting. A few moments later Jay came back with with candy, sunflower seeds, and my favorite Mike and Ikes. That made me feel a whole lot better.
