Nobody Has To Know

Chapter Eight

*Chris POV*

Later that night

I was at the crib chilling just staring at my phone. Contemplating on what I was going to say to Chay or to even call her. So instead of calling her and hearing her voice, I sent her a text message.

To: Chay

What you doing?

It didn’t take her long to text me back, I picked up the phone and laughed.

From: Chay

No Hey or How you doing Chay? Just like a nigga hahaha.

To: Chay

Lol...What are you doing tomorrow?

From: Chay

Nothing why?

To: Chay

I wanna take you out...Oh you might need to ask your man I forgot about that

From: Chay

Like I said before Shawn is not my daddy. What about Masani?

To Chay:

From: Chay

I don’t wanna be fighting bitches around here Chris.

To: Chay

Hahaha you won’t have to just chill. So is that yes or no to coming?

From: Chay

To: Chay

From: Chay

Fuck you nigga.

To Chay:

I’m jk. But I’ll come get you at 12:30pm be ready Chay I know how you are.

From: Chay

Okay bro....See you freckles.

Did she just call me freckles? She haven’t called me that since we were going together in VA. When I read that text message I couldn’t help but smile and get this good feeling all over. I just know I can’t wait until tomorrow.

NEXT DAY

I pulled up to Chay’s crib took the elevator up to her room and as I walking toward her room number I got nervous. I didn’t know why but my hands were shaking, sweating everywhere, and I could feel my heartbeat getting faster. I looked back at my phone to see the text she sent me with her address to make sure I was at the right place. I looked at the room number and put my phone back in my pocket. I was at the right place but it felt like I couldn’t move anymore, like something was just taking over me. Chay and I were just friends there was no reason for me to be acting this way. I pulled up enough courage and knocked on her door, I heard shuffling on the other side then the door open.

“Wassup motherfucka!” said Kizzy smiling at me in the doorway “You can breathe now, I’m not Chay”

“What you mean Chay?” I said smiling down at her.

“You acting all scared...Shit I would think y’all were going together the way you two are acting” she said adjusting her clothes “You coming in or are you gonna wait outside cause it’s whatever with me.” So I walked in and sat on her couch “She should be out in a minute bro” Kizzy said walking up the stairs of Chay’s place. I was just fiddling around and I saw a picture of the whole crew from the old days in VA. Chay was kissing my cheek, while I was making a pout face and that’s when I started to think about the conversation me and Chay had before I left VA.

Flashback

We were chilling at my house and my mom was at work, so it was just us in the house. She was laying on my chest as I rubbed her backside.

“Chay I’m ready to get the fuck out of VA.” I said.

“Shit me too” she said laughing.

“Get away from all this drama and just do something I love, you know.”

“I know you will”

“You too!”

“Nah I don’t know about that”

“What you mean you don’t know. Girl I’m taking you with me, whatever I do I make sure I have you right by my side.”

“Is that right?” she said smiling up in my face.

“Yeah but I’m kinda of scared” I said pushing strands of hair out of her face as she stares up at me.

“Why?”

“What if I fail? What if nobody likes my music? I’m just going to be a failure just like so many other people I know”

“You won’t fail and if nobody likes your music then fuck’em. I support you no matter what and I believe you have a beautiful voice. I can see you doing big things” she said and I reached up to kiss her lips. “What was that for?”

“Because I love you and Im thankful for you being here for a nigga” I said making her chuckle.

“I love you too”

End Of Flashback

I shook my head because I fucked up when I left her like that. Before I could get to deep in my thoughts, I felt someone presence behind me. I look back and see Chay smiling down at me. I stood up and looked her up and down, she started blushing and started fiddling with her hair. She had straighten her hair bone straight so it was going down her back.

“Damn” I mumbled under my breathe.

“You ready to go?” she said adjusting her shorts “Is this okay for where we going?”

“Oh yeah” I said moving from behind the couch and Kizzy came from down stairs with her Fruit Punch Arizona.

“Chris take care of my bitch or Im coming after your ass” she said walking past us as we walked out the apartment. I just shook my head and got in the elevator.

We’re riding in my car and it was just quiet. Every now and then I would look over to the side just to look at her. “Damn all this tension” she said and bust out laughing.

“You the one who is quiet”

“Shit you ain’t talking neither” she said turning on the radio.

“Look I ain’t tryna listening to no sappy ass shit. My car is meant to play that good music not that dumb shit you and Carmen be listening to”

“Chris just shut up bro” she said punching me and then she stopped at I’m Different by 2 Chainz and the bass started kicking in my car. She started rhyming with the song and dancing like it was just her in room by herself. I just was checking her out and when she looked over and saw I was looking at her she just smiled and went even harder. When we finally arrived at the place, she looked over at me with a confused a face. “The beach?”

“Yeah.. I remember you didn’t like that fancy shit but something genuine and simple” I said and she just shook her head and chuckled.

“You remember that?”

“I remember a lot of stuff about you” I said opening the door and walked over to her side to open the door. I took her hand and hoped for the best.
