Nothing lasts forever

Misunderstanding

"Tiana wake up, Chris and Jermaine are coming round in two hours hurry up and get ready", whispered Alyssia into my ear. I groaned at the fact these boys are popping up so frequently having Jermaine at our house was enough but now Chris too.

I went downstairs and poured myself some cereal, while I sat and watched Adventure Time- I'm a big kid at heart. I got up from the couch dragging my feet upstairs to go pick today's outfit. I settled on all black with my khaki bomber jacket. Once I was showered and dressed I put my hair in two long cainrows and chilled. Alyssia was putting in extra effort she insisted on wearing a dress but I told her to just be herself and dress comfortably.
Just as I was about to dig into a light snack of salsa and chips the two boys were ringing on our bell and creating beats on the door. I got up in a huff and flung it open. " If there's any paint chipped or scratches on our door you're paying for it" I told them. "Don't worry ma, I'm balling", said Chris whilst licking his lips. I rolled my eyes and scoffed at his corniness. I stepped aside allowing them to come through. Chris was actually a good dresser he was dressed smart yet casual (picture of outfit in the box). Alyssia came down the stairs and had the biggest smile on her face."Hey Jermaine, hey Chris", she beamed. "Oh shit y'all got chips and salsa, y'all knew I was coming!",Shouted Chris from the kitchen. This boy has no boundaries, just got here and he's already eating my food. I ran to him and snatched my snacks back; "you want snacks you go to the store and get them", I said. "Aight cool ma, let's go to the store then come on" . I ran upstairs slipped on my black timberlands and waited for Alyssia to get her shoes but she just sat there not moving. "Hellooo? Alyssia go get your shoes come on we're going to the store". "Oh sorry TT I'm not coming, it's just you and Chris", she smiled. I rolled my eyes and walked out the door, Chris trailing behind me.

"Can we get Watsits", asked Chris eagerly. "Yes Chris, it's your money". "Oh I was just checking I don't wanna get anything you don't like". We walked up and down each aisle putting things into the basket. "Soo, do you think Jermaine and Alyssia are gonna become a serious item", questioned Chris. "Well she seems really happy when she's around him and he seems the same so things should work out", I replied truthfully. We went to the till where a pregnant lady was serving us. "You two make a really cute couple by the way", she said while scanning our items. "Oh we're not dating we're just friends", I smiled shyly. "Friends eh, friends is how I ended up with this joy", she rubbed her stomach and gazed at it with adoration.

When we got back to the house Jermaine and Alyssia were in such deep conversation they didn't hear us come through. I plopped down on the couch to continue eating my snacks from where I left off, Chris had the nerve to sit down dangerously close and try eat my snacks again. "I told you once and now I'm telling you twice, these are MY snacks, you have your own now remember". He shrugged continuing to eat my food. I sighed and gave up and ended up sharing. "I knew you couldn't resist Chris", he says referring in third person while flexing. I laughed at his foolishness and scrolled through my Instagram timeline. I noticed that Chris had tagged me in a photo.

"Hanging out with this beauty 👌🏾😍" it was a picture of me on my phone. I chuckled at the compliment but I was worried about whether Isiah would see it. Speaking of Isiah I decided to pree his page. I looked at his most recent photo, it had gotten 547 likes. As I was scrolling one comment stood out to me, "Mine 😍😘❤️💝". It was posted 2 days ago, pretty recent if you ask me. I thought nothing of it and just thought it was sheer fan behaviour.

Chris wouldn't leave my side and I kept catching him glance at me. "I'm hungry", Chris announced. "Nigga you're always hungry", Jermaine laughed. "I'll order Chinese", Alyssia suggested. We all nodded our heads in agreement. Alyssia got on to the phone to the restaurant and within minutes our delivery was here. "Alyssia, I'm leaving you guys alone and giving you guys some space", she nodded and of course Chris saw this as his excuse to follow me. "Where you going Tiana?", he questioned. I pretended not to hear him as I led him to my bedroom balcony. It was spacious and the view was spectacular. You could see the city skyline for miles and the lights shined in contrast to the stars against the night sky. There was a cool night time breeze so it wasn't too humid. "Wow the view is beautiful", Chris said in awe. We sat down on the beanbags and got comfortable as we are our chowmein. "You're a really private person aren't you? You don't talk or interact much?", Chris said staring at me trying to read my expression. "Oh sorry I didn't mean to come out being blunt, I just didn't want to lead you on, I have a boyfriend remember", I said in between mouthfuls. He nodded showing he understood. "I get that, I respect that, speaking of being blunt, do you smoke?" I side smiled, "every now and then". "Oh sorry I don't wanna pressure you", he said staring off into the night. "Whatchu mean, get rolling", I laughed. "It's rolled and ready to blaze", he laughed.

Within minutes we were passing it, weed filled the other, the scent drifting off into the city. I put on some music and it just so happened to be Travis Scott - Antidote. I loved this song so I sang along and Chris ended up singing too. I felt relaxed like nothing could spoil my mood.
The cold wind blew harsher and so Chris huddled closer and wrapped his jacket around me. "You don't have to that Chris I'm fine", I smiled at his manners. "You may not be my girl but I'm still going treat you like the Queen you are. Even with your eyes red and low your still beautiful", he caressed my cheek, I could feel the moment building but I tried my hardest not to look at him, I didn't want to do anything that I'd regret later. I tried my hardest to stop any type of romance happening so I switched the song from Bryson Tiller - Don't to Tyler the Creator - Yonkers. We nodded our heads rapping along to his deep mellow voice word for word.
"Ayo Chris, we gotta go, it's getting late", Jermaine said Alyssia had her arms wrapped around him. They made the cutest couple. "Yo Tiana, I'll catch you later, I enjoyed tonight" he hugged me and he smelt really good, I recognised his Jean Paul Gaultier aftershave. We pulled away as we walked them to the front door and thanking them for the company.

The day wasn't half bad surprisingly and I coincidently hadn't heard from Isiah. Tomorrow's another day.
