Vixen

Chapter 3

I still haven't told Nana how I wasn't going back to school.

After that tragic accident that night nothing has ever been the same. That accident left me with a shattered knee which prohibited me from dancing.
What's the whole point of going back to Juilliard if I can no longer dance? It makes no sense. But of course Nana is gonna disagree. I could see her disapproved face now .. and then her spiel.

"Have you put in any thought about returning to school?" Nana asks. She takes a sip of her red wine and studies me.

"Well, um.. no. Not really." I replied then ate a forkful of baked ziti. Hopefully by stuffing my face with food, she won't ask any questions since my mouth'll be full.

"Yodit, you need to start getting serious about school again."

"Mhm." I nodded chewing.

"I'm serious Jodie, no grandchild of mine ..— "

My phone vibrated on the table.

I picked it up and looked at the screen:

Wassup Yo?

It was my best friend Donnell Blaylock Jr.

I quickly sent back a response and locked my phone.

"With that being said, I say the both of us personally go down to New York and enroll you for the new semester." Nana said wiping her mouth with a napkin.

Whoa.

"Nana I think we should take this one step at a time you know? Give me some more time to think about it and I'll let you know."

"Okay, but just know I'm ready to get us some first class tickets to New York. Don't keep me waiting too long now Jodie."

My phone buzzed again.

ChocolateMan🍫😍😭#LOML💗
I'm gonna FaceTime you aight? Gotta tell you something.

A moment later my phone started flashing. "I gotta take this Nana." I quickly stood up from the dinner table, took my empty plate to the sink and place it in there.

I finally picked up Donnell's call while taking the stairs two steps at a time. I put a finger to my lips until I got into my room. Last thing I need is for Nana to feel some type of way about me leaving her to talk to Donnell.

"Okay you can talk now." I said after securing the lock on my room door.

"You got all pretty just to talk to your boy?" Donnell asked smirking.

"Shut up! I always look this good and you know it!" I said laughing. "You not that important."

"Yeah right. I wanted to tell you that I'm graduating next week then I'ma have this dinna right after and I want you to be there, you know, for support and to cheer for a nigga. Like I know your my fan already, but shit, you might as well let the whole world know." He said smirking.

I laughed. "Donnell deadass, shut up! And I'll be there. You know I got you boo." I smiled.

"Don't let me down, Yo. This is special to me."

"I promise D. Don't worry." I replied.

He smiled. "Aight, gimme kiss."

I laughed and gave him a kiss through the phone screen.

"I screenshotted that by the way, I'll have it forever. You'll always be in my heart shorty." Donnell said laughing.

"Fuck you."

"I love you."

"I love you too."

After a pointless argument on who should have up first, we both hung up.

A/N: Y'all see Donnell's fine ass?! 😩😩😩😍😍😍🍫🍫
