Reality (Sequel to Future)

Chapter Nineteen

I threw on some shorts, a tanktop, and sandals to go drive Zonnique to the airport. I was sad to see her go but she has a real life in Virginia that she needs to get back to. I went next door to Deon's room to get him just as he had begun to crawl around in his crib. He must have just gotten up. I made my way downstairs where I saw Devin and Zonnique in the kitchen doorway making out in each other's embrace. I rolled my eyes. Fortunately, I had Deon over my shoulder. I cleared my throat which got their attention.

"Oh shit" Zonnique giggled removing her arms from Devin's neck. "Hey Bahja"

"Hey" I said. "You ready?"

"Yeah, hold on" she said going to get her bag from the kitchen leaving Devin and I alone briefly.

Last night made me so uncomfortable around him now and I had to admit, it was my fault this time. No shared blame. What the hell was going on with me? I keep trying to convince myself that I would never think of Devin in that way but why else would I have said his name at my moment of climax. Literally anybody else would've been better. But it just slipped out as if it were the most natural thing to me in the world!

"You okay?" Devin asked noticing that I was in deep thought.

I quickly nodded and gave a reassuring smile. Moments later, Zonnique came out with her duffle bag.

"Okay, let's move" she said.

We all got in the car with her sitting in the front with Devin while I sat in the back with Deon. They were still flirting with each other. I couldn't make out what they were saying but I knew that it was flirtatious because Devin's hand moves to Zonnique's lap and never left. If I rolled my eyes any harder they would fall right out of my skull. I was tempted to send Devin on the flight with her since he liked her so damn much. We finally arrived at the airport and I got out to say my goodbyes to Zonnique when I realized she wasn't out of the car yet. I looked inside to see her making out with Devin.

"Oh my fucking God" I mumbled to myself irritated.

He cannot be here the next time she visits. I got her bag out of the trunk while she finished up in the car. By the time I closed it, she was out and waiting for me.

"Well, I guess it's safe to say that you enjoyed your stay" I said handing the bag to her.

"You know it, girl. Ain't nothing better than some good dick to cure your withdrawals" she said giving me a big, cheesy smile.

I chuckled.

"Well come back soon, okay?"

"Of course. And you come to Virginia...you know, when you can" she said referring to me being on lockdown.

"I will. I love you, Nique" I said pulling her in for a hug.

"I love you too, boo" she said embracing me.

We let go of each other and she grabbed up her bag waving to me. I watched her disappear into the airport before getting into the passenger seat. When I did, I glared at Devin.

"What?" he asked innocently.

"I thought I told you to behave yourself" I said.

"I did"

"Meaning don't have sex with my best friend"

"Oops" he said pulling off.

I rolled my eyes for the 500th time today.
