Nobody Has To Know

Chapter Ten

*Chris POV*

“Chill the fuck out Chay!” I yelled as she jumped on me and started tickling me. I had invited her into my private dance studio and graffiti/ art studio. I just finished a practice with the dance crew that Mijo helped me with.

“For a nigga who talks a lot of junk, act just like a punk” she said stopping and leaned on the mirrors ”You better be glad I left the shop early.” When I left VA Chay went to school for design and she turns out to be good one at that I seen some of her stuff. Anyways she moved to New York hoping to find a place to start her own boutique and she did with the help of Shawn. She still in the process of getting it open and finding people to work in the shop with her but Im proud of her.

“You come up with a name yet?” I said scooting closer to her.

“No but I have narrowed it down some”

“You should name it after me”

“What freckles?”

“No dumb ass. Chris.”

“No your the dumb ass if you think I’m going to name my shop after you”

“My name brings in the b-”

“Don’t even say it Chris.”

“What? I was going to say babes” I said making my innocent face, then her phone started ringing.

“No you won’t” she said reaching for her phone and made a face, then she picked it up “Yo....Ummm not for a while.Why?....Damn I will get home, when I get home...You should’ve said something sooner.....Yes I’m with him right now...Look Shawn I don’t have time to fuss with you so bye” then she hung up her phone and slammed it back in her purse.

“It’s funny how this nigga is always calling you when I’m around” I said getting up from the ground.

“It’s not funny...It’s crazy. I mean he said he was cool with me hanging with you so I don’t see why all of sudden he wants to know where I’m at, at all the time. I’m not his child, I’m his girlfriend total different”

“Shit if Masani did some shit like how dude is doing you, I would have been cut it off”

“You and Masani are nothing compared to me and Shawn. The way you talk y’all aren’t even in a relationship”

“You’re right. We’re not” I said quickly “I got something to show you that Mama sent me”

“Awww I miss Mama J” she said jumping up, adjusted her clothes and she just stood there waiting “Well go get it”

“Ohhhh..It’s at the house”

“Your house?”

“That’s up to you to come” I said leaning up against the wall. She started thinking and then she looked up at me.

“Okay” she said smiling which I returned.

We arrived at my house and she looked at it in awe. I just bust out laughing “Close your mouth, damn”

“Fuck you Chris” she said punching my shoulder “This is crazy how big it is.”

“Stop staring at it and come in.” taking her hand and brought her up to the front of the house. When I opened the door I heard her sigh and I just chuckled, then threw off my shoes. “Yo, get comfortable” I said running up the stairs and I grabbed the book. I came back down stairs and she had already took her shoes off and slipped onto my couch. I sat beside her and passed her the book.

She just bust laughing and said “You kept this!” It was our song book, she use to help me write and she even wrote some herself. She started flipping through the pages smiling. This was the whole purpose of me asking my mom to find the book at the house to see her smile.

“You can keep it if you want” I said moving closer to her “Would you like that?”

“Ummm maybe you should keep it, it was yours”

“No ours.” I said “I think you should keep it. Think about it I’m about to take a shower”

“You were smelling kinda raw in the car”

“Aww fuck that..I’m always fresh. Smell this” I said lifting up my arms and shoved it in her face. She started to make gagging noises and covered her nose.

“Take that shit upstairs” she said in between laughs. I jumped off the couch and winked at her, then ran upstairs.

*Kachay POV*

These past weeks been fun hanging with Chris and the whole crew but Shawn has really become over protective. Plus the stress of opening up the shop, the time I hang with Chris is basically my break. Plus everything we did made me think about the past and how much we had but I turned to the page where I had wrote a poem:

The love we share is endless

It never stops its breathless

From the very beginning

I knew that it was destined to be

The love we share is not like the movies

It’s that hood shit like Faith and Biggie

Hahaha I joke around but on a serious note

Your the blood that runs through my heart

And without you everything stops

I never got to finish the poem and it just hit a nerve because I started to get sad. I heard footsteps and Chris was coming down stairs with just sweatpants on. His upper body glistening and as good as he looked just seeing him made me get more upset. “It was nice of you to bring me here but I really need to go” I said passing him the notebook back. I slipped back on my Converses and grabbed my purse.

“Yo, what happen I thought you was having a good time? Plus I thought you was goin to keep this” he said holding the book back out.

“Chris just take me back to my car.” I said standing.

“No! Tell me what’s going on!”

“Why the fuck you yelling for Chris? I just want to leave and go home”

“Oh my God Chay is it that hard for you to explain how you’re feeling. You turning back into that bitch you were before” he said sitting back down on the couch.

“Bitch? The only reason I’m acting like a “bitch” as you would say is because you’re bringing up shit and talking about stuff that happen back in VA , and it’s making me think back on how you fucked my life up”

“Fucked your life up? How did I fuck up your life?”

“BECAUSE YOU LEFT ME WHEN YOU PROMISED ME YOU WOULDN’T. THERE CHRIS ARE YOU HAPPY NOW!” I yelled at the top of my lungs and I could feel my face getting red. My eyes started to water up and as hard as I tried to hold it back they came out anyway. I saw that his once hard face was getting soft he reached for my hand and I moved it.

“Chay-I-I-I--I di-” then he stopped and just stared at me

“You can’t talk now but you was talking all that shit earlier. Look Chris just take me home please.” I said wiping my wet face.

“No talk to me” he said trying to grab me again.

“Fuck that” I said and it was just quiet for a long time. Then all of a sudden Chris stood up grabbed my arm in one swift movement and pulled me in close. He leaned down to kiss my lips and at first I was trying to push him away but he wasn’t letting up. Then I just stopped fighting and let it happen. The kiss deepened and he pulled me in even closer. It was so much in that kiss that I couldn’t express. He pulled back and just stared deep into my eyes.

“Let me show you that I’m sorry” he whispered a inch away from my lips “Just trust me”
