A few days passed by and I hadn't spoken to Shane since the night he was drunk. When he didn't call, I got worried. But soon he texted, letting me know that that week was a busy one for him. That was enough comfort and assurance.
I missed the dirty texting and chat from that night. I was beginning to feel odd desires for Shane. Which were wrong. I felt ashamed of them,yet I did not hate them. The only negative thing was the fact that Shane would probably never share the same feelings for me. Or worse again, he might marry Sloane. It seemed so obvious. I had to avoid these feelings of mine, these thoughts that Shane caused to appear in my mind. Else, I would remain frustrated for a very long time. Both psychologically and physically. I had to avoid inappropriate contact with Shane. But our friendship did not have to be affected. That was the best thing to do. Avoid sensual conversations and odd physical contact. I had no hopes of ending up with Shane.

Keisha and I were at the huge cafeteria at school when I received a call.
"Who is it?" she asked
"Josh" I replied surprised, staring at my phone.
She rolled her eyes but I smiled.
"Don't worry Kee. I'm less stupid now."
I picked the call.
"Hello?"
"Shayenne, I hope you know you're left with a week to end this month. Why haven't you taken a decision yet?" his grumpy voice came in.
"Good afternoon, Josh. It's been long."
"Don't be stupid. Answer my question."
I smiled to myself.
"Fine. It's a no."
Keisha's eyes widened.
"What??"
"You heard me, Josh. It's no. Find yourself another girl. Okay?"
"What is this?!"
"What it sounds like. I'm over and done with you. Don't worry, I'll tell my parents personally about our breakup."
"Shayenne?! Are you mad?!" he asked angrily.
"No. I just ain't blind anymore. And oh, get lost. You're an asshole."
"What has come over you?? I'll teach you a lesson for this! Trust me! And I'll discover who your new man is!"
"New man??" I laughed.
"Yes! Or do you really think I'm stupid?! I'll teach you a lesson, Shayenne!"
"Yeah, right. Bye."
"Shayenne, if-" I hung up, cutting him and then turned to the shocked Keisha who burst out laughing.
"Girl! Was that you? Who just dissed Josh Nelson??"
"Yep!" I giggled.
"FINALLY!" she hugged me happily.
"Now you're independent, baby."
"I know." I laughed
"This is great!"
"Hahahaha, I know right. I feel so good right now."
We laughed and continued to chat until I suddenly received a text from Sloane:
-Hey Shayenne, can you come over at five this evening?-
-Sure.- I replied.
-K. Thx hon.-
"Who was that?" Kee asked.
"Sloane. She wants me to come over at five."
"What for?"
"I don't know yet."
"Oh, okay. You'll just use the moment to let Shane know about the breakup."
"Yeah. That's a good idea."
I wondered how he would react when I'd tell him.
