Tahj Pov
Once Malik pulled up to my building I opened my door to get out but was stopped once he spoke. "I'm going to wait here for you, I don't care if you're tired, go change and come back down here. I'm not going to leave you to cry like you're crazy." "How rude! you're trying to imply that I look a mess? Go eat booty." He chuckled a little and for some reason that really made my heart flutter. "Nah but forreal though go change I'll be here waiting." I left him in his car to go upstairs and freshen myself up.
Malik Pov
Malik...my nigga are you catching feelings? You can't be catching feelings already. Don't get me wrong the girl is beautiful but I know if I pour my feelings on her it might stress her out more and that'll be messed up. Plus what if she denies me and that ruins our friendship? Nah I'm not about to risk that. Any time I feel this stressed I always feel the need to call my sister, so thats what I did. After about the second ring I heard her loud ass voice booming through the phone. "Hi my brother long time no chat. what's up?" I would be lying if I said I didn't miss my sister, but she went and transfered to a different university to be with her boyfriend. "Nothin much Tati I just miss you thats all."
"Yeah right. Now does your sister Tatiyana Johnson look like a fool to you?" I swear she can never just accept a damn call from her brother.
"Obviously you're not a damn fool if you got into FSU. But you are a damn fool to tranfser cuz of some nigga." I know she hates when I bring it up because our mom is always giving her a hard time about it.
"Not now Malik, what did you want? Because I know it wasn't to give me a hard time."
"Okay honestly, I met this girl about a month ago at work and we started chilling and vibing. But I'm starting to think that maybe I'm catching feelings for her." I heard nothing but silence for a moment.
"Don't you work at an abortion clinic.... what type of female you meet at an abortion clinic that you want to be with? Especially with your views on the subject."
"She never went through with it because she was too far along which lets me know she didn't want to do it in the first place she just felt helpless because she couldn't get a job and her baby father left. But after I got her a job at ma's restaurant we've been getting closer. And I'm not trying to give her anything else to worry about by telling her my feelings."
"Honestly I see where you're coming from. For now don't say anything because she's still dealing with some things about her situation. Even if she seems good remember she's worrying about her life, her baby, and how the father of that child left. Plus I don't want you to get caught up trying to save someone that doesn't need saving. And one last thing, make sure your feelings are real and they aren't just developing because you feel pity towards her. Anyway I gotta go. Bye love you.
"Love you too." And with that we hung up. Which was good timing because as soon as I put the phone down I saw Tahj's fine self walking back to the car. Now I just need to remember all the things Tatiyana told me.
Truth be told I've been feeling a little discouraged with the story because the numbers aren't where I would want them to be. However to those who are reading it- thank you! But because the votes and comments aren't there I'm assuming I'm doing something wrong. So any critique is openly welcomed. Just no hostility por favor.
Stay blessed- RoRo
