Study Buddy: A Chris & Miya Story

Chapter 53

AN: Pause. I'm not rushing am I? & I'm sorry if I'm breaking your heart </3 I love you ;(

Miya

I really wouldn't mind living in New York. This is the happiest I've been in weeks and I feel so stress free. My phone rang, I stopped and checked the caller ID. A bus zoomed passed, causing people to honk at it. The wind blew my hair everywhere and the smell a gasoline caused me to cough.

"H-hello?" I said in between my coughs.

"Hey baby girl, how's the break?" Dad asked. I hear papers shuffling around and as soon as I hear him ordering someone to handle the meeting, I know he's at work.

"It's great." I said cheerfully. I walked down the sidewalk.

"Good, and I have some news." He said. "You're coming back two days from now, right?"

"Mhm."

"I have to go on a three day business trip, and I won't be able to pick you up. So I need to know who's going to pick you up, if you can't find someone I can find someone for you—Get this to the meeting on the second floor... How about your boyfriend?"

I stopped walking. Did he just refer to Chris as my boyfriend? Wow, the world must be ending soon. "Dad... You just said the b word."

"Yeah, yeah... I did. It's cause he's kinda alright." He said. "I mean, y'all been together for a little while now and I guess I'm going to have to get use to it."

I know deep down inside my dad has a liking for Chris, he just refuses to show it. I laugh. "Okay... I'll let you know whatever."

"Okay bye, have fun. Be safe."

"You too, love you. Bye dad!" I coo into the phone then hang up.

I walked down the sidewalk on my way to the apartment. Everyone's all cluttered everywhere. And I get a glimpse of a couple kissing each other. I used to hate public display affection, simply because I had the mindset that nobody wants to see you kissing. That's nasty. But now, being in the kind of relationship I'm in... My boyfriend wants to kiss me all the time, and I have no problem with that. Ooh, just thinking about his lips on mine make me want to melt in my shoes. I really miss Chris, right now. Even though we worked out our difference on the phone and the apology was sincere and all I feel like there were things left unsaid—from my end. I need to work on my communicating skills.

As soon as I get back to Los Angeles that's the plan, to work on my communicating skills. I'll talk to my therapists and she'll help me. I always did want to help myself, for myself but I never had the motivation. So I'll help myself, for myself for the sake of my relationship.

"Hey Xavier boy..." I slide into the kitchen.

He gives me a mean mug and I laugh. "Sup?"

"Stuff... I—"my phone dinged interrupting me. I look down at it and smile.

Chris: when you coming back?

"Oh yeah, Kaden's having another shoot today and I want to go..." I say and text Chris back.

Miss me?

"He picking you up, or what?" Xavier asks with a mouthful and his sandwich in his hand.

"No, so I need you to—"
