"Ma I thought you was off today." I went downstairs seeing her in the kitchen in her work uniform.

"They needed a little extra help and I don't mind."

"You gon be there all day? Today was supposed to be our day." I sighed.

"How about we reschedule to this weekend. All weekend it'll be just us."

"You know I'm supposed to be with Aliye and stuff. I blew her off for some weeks."

"You think she'll mind if it's for meeee?"

"Aight I'll see ma." I chuckled kissing her forehead. "I love you see you later. Be safe."

"Love you too." She grabbed her belongings and headed out to work. I sighed and decided that I might as well clean up while I had free time. I'd caught up on all my homework so cleaning was all there was really left to do. I went upstairs and grabbed all my dirty clothes including my sheets and took them to the wash room and began washing. I then went back upstairs into my room so I could start arranging things.

I was interrupted an hour later by my cell phone ringing and I sat down on the bed and grabbed it from the night stand. Aliye's name flashed across the screen and I slid the bar answering it.

"Hello?"

It was silent for a second putting me at alert. The first thing that came to mind was that she was in trouble. Soon the silence was replaced with her soft whimpers. I pulled the phone from my ear looking at the screen with furrowed eyebrows and then placed it back.

"Aliye?" I called.

"Mmmm oh my God yes." She moaned out.

My mouth fell slightly opened and as wrong as it was to listen and as much as I knew I should hang up I didn't. I wanted to know who the fuck had her moaning and shit.

"Aliye!" I yelled again.

I still got no response except for moans.

"What the fuck?" I peeled my phone from my ear and hit the FaceTime button. It rang and rang and rang until it finally connected which put me at ease a little. Ain't no way she was fucking and answered my FaceTime call. Maybe she was watching a video on her computer and accidentally butt dialed me, I thought to myself.

When it finally connected, as if possible my mouth fell even more opened. Her phone rested slightly underneath her but it was sortve propped up on the wall that her bed rested up against. To my surprise there was no one in the room except Aliye, her vibrator, and her fingers.

Deciding to not invade her privacy I quickly hung up. I placed my head in my hands and tried to delete it from my memory. I stood up to continue cleaning and about five minutes later I was interrupted by another phone call from Aliye. I let that one go to voicemail. I'd already heard and seen enough.

She called right back so I presumed that she was now aware that she was calling me.

"Hello?" I answered.

"Bent." Her voice rang.

"What's up?" I placed my phone in between my ear and my shoulder while I continued cleaning.

"You busy right now?"

"Nah are you?"

She fell silent and then hesitantly spoke. "No.... I was gonna ask if I could come over. Is it a bad time?"

"Nah. You need me to come get you?" I changed my tone.

"Yes please."

"I'll be there in like twenty minutes."
