Rita POV
Chris hasn’t text me back at all today. I called him. He didn’t answer. It ain’t like he is asleep cuz this boy stay awake. Also, he just posted a video on IG. I sighed when he didn’t respond to my last text and walked into the main lobby. I was about to press the button for the elevator. Then I saw Chris and Mama J. They were walking towards me. I don’t know if they saw me yet because they were laughing with each other. I pressed the elevator button about 20 times before it opened. I got in and tried to close it before they got up to the elevator, but Chris stopped it. He looked at me. Then frowned.
“We’ll just take the next elevator.” Chris said.
“No, Chris I want to talk to you.” He looked at his mother. She smiled at me then looked at Chris.
“I’ll take the next one.” she said. She backed away.
“I don’t want to talk to her.” Chris said.
“Please Chris. Just listen to me. Or explain to me what was the problem.”
He sighed. Then walked into the elevator. I wanted to close my eyes so bad but I wanted Chris to know that what I felt was sincere. As the elevator went up, I kept my eyes opened and grabbed Chris's’ arm. He looked at me.
“Why don’t you just close your eyes?”
“Just listen to me.”I said looking at him. “Chris please let me know what was the problem.”
“I know that this is all my personal life but, i just don’t want that type of relationship, in my relationship.”
“What?”
“My mother already has to get in between this stuff with when I get Royalty. So if I put you in the mix, that’s even more worse. Then if we break up on some hard sh!t. You would still want to be hanging with Nia.” I looked at Chris. The elevator opened. But I didn’t move. He didn’t move. We just stood there. The elevator went doors closed and went down again.
“Chris, why didn’t you say that?”
He cocked his head to the side. “Biiiiiihhhh, I did. I told you that night.”
“I know. But, Chris tell me if this was something you wanted, why didn’t you tell me when we made it official?”
“I wasn’t thinking about it then. You know. I was only thinking bout, haha, you know.”
“You ass.” I said pushing him. He laughed.
“That ass.” he said. I laughed. Then stared at him.
“Stop playing games Chris. But really, if you want something else to be laid down right now, just say it. So it can be known.”
“I want you to be laid down right now.” he said into my ear.
“Chris.” I said backing up. The elevator doors opened. Mama J was standing there.
“Y’all still didn’t get off yet. I’m getting on now. I don’t want to wait anymore.” She got on the elevator. I pressed the button and stared at Chris.
“But really Chris, say anything that you need to be known right now so that there won’t be any problems.”
“Well, it we ever move in together, I don’t want no random people to be in my house. It ain’t right.”
“What do you mean random?”
“Like a hooker from the club.”
“Oh, so you think I’mma bring home hookers.”
“I ain’t say that you were. It was an example.” he said laughing. The elevator doors opened and we got off. I walked towards my apartment. Chris walked with me.
“Anything else Christopher?”
“Uh, yeah, don’t play any music with a language that I don’t know it.”
“What?”
“I had a girl do that. It was as creepy as that man off of Lazy Town.” he said. I laughed. He smiled.
“What else?”
“Tell me how to pronounce that horrible name of yours?”
“Rita Ora?” I said slowly.
“No Sacagawea. That S name.”
“Oh. Doesn’t matter.” I said opening up my front door. We walked in and sat on the couch.
“No it does. What does that mean?”
“Uh it doesn’t matter Christopher.” I said. “Let’s watch Netflix.”
“Can we Netflix and Chill?”
“No.” I said grabbing the remote and turning on the tv.
“But, that ass though.” he said smacking my ass. I turned to face him.
“I should punch you.”
“I should punch you.” he said mocking me. It was dead on too. I started laughing.
After watching 2 episodes of Orange is the New Black, Chris tapped my shoulder. I looked at him.
“What?”
“You know what you did today?”
I squinted my eyes at him. “I talked to you.”
“Where at though?”
“The elevator.”
“Your eyes were opened.” he said. I looked up. Remembering about the elevator.
“I did, didn’t I?”
“Was I your first?”
“My first…?”
“The first person that you had your eyes opened for in the elevator?”
“Yeah. I guess.”
“Oh. That’s so… cool.” he kissed my cheek. “Thank you.”
“No thank you. It’s like you helped me conquer my fears.”
“It ain’t no problem in my game.” he said laughing.
“But really thank you. You really changed me.”
“No really no problem. I like to help people. Now, put on the next episode before I go to sleep.” he said yawning.
"I got something to keep you awake." I said.
"Whats that?" I stood up and went into the bathoom. I changed into the outfit and walked back into the room. Chris looked at me. "Lord have mercy." He said sitting up. I pu it on the cheerleder outfit I wa going to wear at the basketball game.
"I was going to wear this at the game. But you were mad at me."
"All you had to do was ut on this to get me not mad at you. Come here." I wlked over to him. He kissed me roughly. "Damn. I love this."
"What?"
"I love that we are back together. I really like yoh Sacagawea."
"I like you too Christopher. Will you promise not to get mad again?" I asked. He nodded.
"I can try." He said. I smiled and no kissed his cheek.
