My Girl

Wow

Neisha POV

"NeNe? You okay?"  Zaya asked concerned as I wiped at my face. I nodded looking at the ground and back at her getting up off the floor.

I'm okay." I said quietly looking away from her eyes. She glared at me tryna see what was up and I ignored it opening the door to leave for the front.

"You want me to-"

"I'm good Zay, i'll call somebody or something." I said declining her gesture to take me home. I feel bad as it is knowing we have the same baby daddy. I couldn't take riding in a car with her for 15 minutes. Let alone two.

"You s-"

"Yes! I-i'm sorry. I... Gotta go." I said sighing as she looked at me with those sympathetic eyes. Gimme a break god.

"Gimme a hug NeNe. I know you goin through some shit, but i'm here. Always." she smiled sweetly. I embraced her and felt the need to cry again, but held my tears. I'll need em later.

"Thanks." I said as she left my side back to the house door. She nodded and went in looking back at me.

"See ya tomorrow?" she asked. I nodded and she let me be as I began to dial a-

🎵Callin yo phone who's callin yo phone? That ain't yo mom boy, tell me what you want? You act-🎵

"Hello?" I answered confused as to who...

"Yuh, is uh, KC wit you right now?" A female voice said to me. I don't recall any female down here calling her KC. EVERYBODY called her Zaya or Zay. Except...

"Wait, I didn't get  your name earlier. What is it" I asked more interested now that the voice sounded familiar to my ears. I never been with a girl, but her looks appealed to me.

Uh, J-" 

"Wait, let me think real quick." I said cutting her off and looking back at Zaya's moms spot. I moved off the porch and looked around the quiet familiar childhood neighborhood and it came to me. The way a word does when you finally have it in your mind after a few days. Zaya's stunned and embarrassed expression said it all. 

"Your Jes? Right?" I smiled at my small accomplishment and looked down at nothing in particular. 

"Yeah, uh-" 

"You and Kenzaya messin' around?" I asked cutting her off and getting to the question that popped up after the first one. 

" What?! nah, man! nevamind . I-" 

"Wait! can you- can you pick me up?" I asked seeing that she was probably frustrated. Hell, I ain't let her get a word in. I wanna see what she's about.

"Where you at?" she asked after sighing and arguing with someone about who was on the phone with her. I smiled and looked around me once again.

There's a Family Dollar up the street from me. Can you meet me there?" I asked as I began to walk that way. She agreed and hung up after I said a sweet see you then. I wonder how she feels about kids seeing that she probably feelin Zaya, but then again she probably like every other nigga and run when she here 'baby' come out zay mouth. Who knows.

***

After I was in sight of the Family Dollar, a horn honked signaling me that she was there. I wiped my brow and smiled up at her as I got in the passenger side closing the door after me. She smiled back and looked at me sideways with a frown. 

"you Ight? You look sick." She said sounding concerned as she looked my way starting the car. I nodded and she looked as though she didn't believe me.
