31: There Ain't Gon Be Us!

Tana POV( Monty in MM)

  "TANA! Your phone!" I heard Zenny called out in ma room as I was in the bathroom.
  "Comin'!" I yelled back wrappin' a towel around me.
  "What da heck are you doin' in ma room?" I grabbed ma phone from her before she picks it up.
  "I just wanted to...to borrow your perfume...pleeease". She made that puppy face.

My phone rang again. I checked and it was...Monty! My heart raced.

  "Who's that?" Zenny interrupted.
  "No one. You can take the perfume and go. Bye". I shooed her.
  "Thanks Tana". She beamed at me happily takin' my perfume and finally, got out. I debated either to pick up or not. I was still angry and sad. Buh me nah pickin' would mean I was affected. I've gotta pretend we still friends. I slowly slide the green button, pickin' up.

  "Hey!" I tried soundin' happy when really, I was both angry and sad.
  "Um...hi. Been callin' 'bout tons o' times. Where you at?" His sexy ass voice asked and the shivers it gave me. Its been only three days and I've missed him like crrrraaazy!
  "Am sorry, was kinda...um...busy. Yea". I lied. Well, I was buzy tryna avoid his call.

  "iight. I just called to apologize 'bout the other night coz..." I cut in with tears in ma eyes.
  "Monty, you owe no damn explanation. I guess you had your own reason for nah tellin' me and bruh, am entirely down with that". I bit ma lip tryin' to keep ma emotions together buh the tears flowed out.

Thank God am alone here.

   "No Tee, am sorry...I shoulda told you..." I could feel honesty in his voice.
  "Its okay Monty. You owe no goddamn explanation. Am fine." He became quiet on the other end for a while.
  "I missed you Tee. So damn much". He spoke in a low voice. At the sound of that, my tears flowed more.
  "I've missed yo' too." I whispered back tryin' nah to let him hear my sobs.

  "Here's what we gon' do. Why don't we hang out. We could talk, you know, like we always do. How 'bout that ma?" I so badly wanted to see him, have fun with him buh...
  "Please Tee, if you still ma friend".
  "Are you makin' that face?"
  "Well, I guess so. Since its your weakness baby gurl". I let maself giggle.

  "So what's it gon' be lil' ma?" At least, imma just spend time with him as a friend. I mean, enjoy the moment with him.
  "Okay. After school. You down with that?" I asked playin' with my closet's door handle.
  "Cool. I'll pick you up. See ya". As I hanged up, imma nah gon' lie. I felt...happy seein' him again.

Maybe, its best this way. Even though am still hurt, I guess am just gon' enjoy our friendship. I smiled to myself starin' at his selfie on my phone.
  "MONTANA! BETTER GET YO' TINY ASS DOWN HERE! WE GON' LATE! "Zenny cut me outta ma trace.
  "I'D BE DOWN IN A MINUTE MAY!" I replied teasin' her.
  "STOP FREAKIN' CALLIN' ME THAT! I AIN'T MELINDA MAY!" I could bet she's angry.

I laughed gettin' my kick from my rack.

  "I tried talkin' my mother out of it buh she just insist we gon' spend this summer at Dad's place and LAWD!  Its so... Are you listenin' to me?" Here I am, talkin' to Tammy and she just gigglin' and typin' on her phone.
  "Mh-hm..." She hummed nah even lookin' at my face. I felt irritated.

  "Who da hell has got your attention?" I grabbed her phone from her hands.
  "No...". She cried out.
  "Hmmm...." I was readin' her message and it was Wade.
  "Who's that Tana?" Zenny asked laughin' with Daya.
  "Its Wade". Tammy looked flushed.
  "Opps! Busted!" Zenny teased nudgin' her.

  "Ha-ha! Very funny gurls. Now gimme ma darn phone Tana". She requested seriously.
  "Oh really...let's see what your message says. Its says here," I began readin' the text out to them.
