2:18 a.m.
Kannon
"Shit." I cursed to myself once I pulled away from the kiss.
That was probably the stupidest shit I could've done tonight. I don't even know why I did it. It just felt right at the moment.
But now, the moment is gone. And the aftermath feels like shit.
"My fault. I ain't mean to uh... do that." I said sitting up and putting my face in my hands.
"Um. I think I'm gonna go to bed now. Goodnight." she said. I felt the couch shift and heard her footsteps up the stairs.
What the fuck Kannon? The fuck was you thinking my nigga?
I turned off the tv and put the chips and popcorn in the kitchen before going upstairs and in my room.
I turned on the lamp on my nightstand & then turned on the tv before getting settled in the bed.
More loud thunder sounded outside. I don't know how I'm finna get any sleep tonight, but I'm gone have to try.
Cree
This loud thunder literally had me shaking and on the verge of tears.
Call me childish, but thunder and lightning are some of my biggest fears.
Usually I could crawl in the bed with my mama or she would come in my room and stay until I fell asleep. I knew I couldn't go to sleep in this room by myself tonight.
As more thunder boomed outside, I pulled my knees up to my chest and tried to cover my ears.
The thunder eventually got louder to the point where covering my ears was no use. I stood up from the bed with a blanket wrapped around my body and walked out of the room.
I stood in the middle of the hallway between his room and my room for about a minute.
Just go back in the room and try to go to sleep.
Thunder boomed outside again making me jump.
Oh hell naw.
Kannon
Just in the middle of the episode of Law and Order, my room door opened.
Cree stood there looking like a walking burrito with the blanket around her.
She walked towards the bed, and the closer she got, the more I could see the scared look on her face.
She stopped at the side of the bed in front of me.
"I can't sleep because of the thunder. Can I sleep on the other side of your bed? Please?" she said "please" like she was about to cry.
Knew you was scared of the damn thunder.
"Yeah." I said patting the other side of my bed.
She walked around to the other side and laid all the way down still wrapped in the blanket like it was freezing in here.
It ain't even that cold. C'mon now.
I turned the lamp off and grabbed the remote to turn the tv off.
"Can you keep the tv on? Please?" she asked looking at me.
"Uh, yeah.. fine." I said sitting the remote in between us.
I laid back on my back & started dozing off as soon as my head hit the pillow.
Thunder interrupted my 3 seconds of sleep. Cree instantly crawled up close to me while her body was shaking uncontrollably. She held onto me for dear life.
The hell is wrong with this girl?
I decided to wrap my arm around her once I heard her silently crying. I ran my hands through her hair until she fell asleep on my chest.
--------------------------
Waking up to the sight of the ceiling, I rubbed my crusty eyes a few times.
"Rise and shine sleeping beauty." I heard Cree say.
I looked up to see her standing in front of my dresser looking in the mirror.
Why is she such an early bird?
I groaned and turned over burying my face in my pillow.
"Not a morning person huh?" she said.
I tried to go back to sleep until she started blabbing her mouth again.
"Yo why do you snore so freaking loud? It's ridiculous how many times I woke up from your loud ass snoring. You need to do something about that." she said pulling her hair up into a messy bun.
"Gone somewhere man. I'm tryna go back to sleep." I mumbled in my pillow.
"Fine. I'll be downstairs making myself breakfast." she said. I could tell she was smirking.
"Aye wait! Hol' up." I said looking up at her making her way to the door.
She turned around with a grin.
"You gone make me some too?" I asked.
"Nah, you good. Go back to sleep." she smiled and walked out the door.
"Cree!" I yelled after her. I got no response besides footsteps down the steps.
"Cree! Stop playing man!"
----------------------------
After eating breakfast she got dressed and left.
I decided to lay back down. Cree woke me up a little too early and I needed to finish sleeping.
