[ Jai in the media ]

- Nalah

"Bro, so I met this girl." Jai plopped down on my bed, waking me up out of my sleep. I groan, wiping my eyes.

What time is it?

"TaJailyn, are you kidding me? It's 3am." I peek over at my alarm clock.

Jai disregards my comment. "Her name is Bianca but I nicknamed her 'Bibi'." She said, cheesing.

I sat up and yawned.

"Okay, cool. You met this girl where?"

"At a bar. Sasha and I went out and stumbled across her and her friends." Jai grinned. I knew where this was headed. And it was my job to not let it happen.

"I don't suppose you took down her number." I said. Jai reaches in her bra and pulls out a piece of paper. I shake my head.

"What? You know I had to!" She giggles. I smirk and snatches the number.

"You're not going to make me beat this girl's ass to, are you?" I joke.

"Shut up. I'm going to bed." Jai snatches the number back, kisses my cheek and leaves my room.

I sit and stares blankly at my wall. What to do? I think about Aubrey and bite my lip. We might not be together but talking to her every now and again makes me happy. I look through my phone and find her number.

I dial it. I don't know what I am going to say. I just want to hear her voice. Just before I was about to hang up, she answers.

"Nalah?" her voice is just like I remembered. Soft. Raspy. Calming.

"Sorry, did I wake you?"

I heard her shift around a little through the phone.

"Sort of. But it's fine.. because it's you." she said. I smiled and bit my lip.

"Oh yeah? So if it were someone else, you'd feel some way about it?" I ask.

Aubrey giggles, causing me to grin. "Basically." She answers.

"Interesting. So besides laying in bed, what are you in the mood to do?" I ask. I want to see her. I don't know why but it has been bugging me all week.

"Hmm, what do you have in mind?" her voice becoming softer. I hear her small, steady breaths.

"I was...hoping to see you."

The phone went silent for a second.

"Tonight?" She asks.

"Yeah, if it's not a problem. I'm awake. You're awake. I don't really want to be in the house." I confess.

"Come over." Aubrey doesn't hesitate to say.

"Be there in 10." I lick my lips and hang up.

I throw on sweats and my trench coats then exit my bedroom.

"Where are you going?" Jai asks. She's on the phone with someone.

"Out." I don't stop. I head to Aubrey's house.

Knock. Knock.

Aubrey opens the door and my heart starts to beat a mile a minute. She has nothing on.

"Hey." she whispers.

I lick my lips and nod my head. She grabs me in and our lips lock.

What a night this is gonna be.
