Dark Nights

9~

I can't believe what just happened. I have to admit that Braylon is kinda cute but I am still in love with Izzy and that's not gonna change. It was just a little kiss, nobody even has to know.

I drove to Panda Express, got the food the headed to the house. When I got there I stayed in the car for about 5 more minutes trying to calm myself down.

"Izzy I'm back!"

Isaiah walked downstairs and stared at me blankly.

"....what?"

"My homeboy Marcus said he saw you with Braylon at the cafe."

I knew I had to tell him what had happened at some point but now just wasn't the time.

"Yeah uh- i- I went to go get a coffee and bumped into him."

A coffee Ari? I'm seriously horrible at lying.

"Arianna you don't drink coffee"

"Izzy I-

"Whatever man"

He got his jacket and the keys and headed for the door.

"Where are you going?"

"Away from you."

What was I doing? He was already going through a lot and I was just making it worse. I had to tell him.

"Izzy wait"

He turned around and clenched his jaw.

"Braylon texted me and told me to meet him at the cafe, we met up and made small talk then he kissed me....I swear it didn't mean anything to me"

"You met up with that dude and y'all kissed?! Ari I told you to stay away from him! He's not a good person! Whatever man just leave me alone."

He walked out the door and left.

I had to fix this. What was I even thinking? This is all my fault and now Izzy was probably gonna ignore me all night.

Isaiah POV

I can't believe Ari went out and met up with that dude. Better yet he kissed her. I told Braylon not to touch my girl. Ever.

Isaiah: Hey Kyla is your brother home?

Kyla: no he went to the basketball court at that one park.

Isaiah: Rosewood Park?

Kyla: yeah that's the one.

Isaiah: alright thanks kyy

Kyla: no problem, do you want me to tell him to wait on you or...?

Isaiah: nah I'll tell him I'm coming.
