I Didn't Know You Loved Me

Chapter 8

After the date ended on a bad note, meaning I paid the bill, and told him that I wasn't really planing on seeing anyone, and that I really don't plan on seeing him again.

I mean come on I paid for his dinner. And sat and listen to him talk about himself constantly.

I got in my car and began to drive home. When my phone rang. I rolled my eyes and ignored it. I'm to tired to talk to anyone.

Then it rang again. I took a deep breath and picked the phone up to see Markyl's name. For some reason I stopped breathing.

Markyl never calls. Well calls me at least. We've only ever texted and that only to tell him something my mom told me to ask him for church.

I pulled over and answered the phone.

"Umm.. Markyl?"

"Korei, umm listen I need to talk to you."

"About what Markyl? Look it's 10 and I'm tired, and I really don't have time for you messing with my head right now." I said annoyed.

"No, I'm not just fuckin' with you right now, I need to talk to you about something and I really just can't explain it over the phone." He said, I could tell he had something on his mind. He was talking way to fast.

"Okay, slow down. What do you need to talk about, and why can't you tell me over the phone? Markyl your not making any sense right now."

"Just meet me at the park around the conner for your house." He said and then hung up the phone.

I looked at my phone then tossed it in the passanger seat and rested my head on the steering wheel. After a few deep breaths I finally started my car. And drove to the park.

******

When I got to the park I saw him on the basketball court. This was normal, I remember when we where younger him and Ty would always be at the court until it was almost midnight. His mama always worked late, so he only got caught when my mama would be out.

I sit in my car for a couple more minutes, contaplating on should I leave his ass and go home or stay and talk about whatever was so important.

But I was already here so I got out of the car and walked over to the court.

I stood there quietly for a minute, watching him. I don't know why.

I couldn't stop watching him. He was just so damn fine.

I snapped out of my trance when he turned around and saw me standing there.

We both stood there for a moment. Waiting for the other to say something. So I decided I would be the first to speak, even though he asked me to meet him.

"Markyl?" I said shrugging my shoulders. I stood where I was standing.

"Korei..." he said shaking his head then motioning for me to sit on the bench close to where I was standing.

Without question walk over and took a seat. And he then sat next to me.

"Is there something wrong?" I ask.

"I just needed to talk to you."

"Okay well, I'm here, so...talk." I say looking around the dark basketball court, the only source of light was from the street lights and a few that were on the court, but weren't very bright.

"How was your date?" He asked with a light chuckle.

"Okay."I said irritated. Between my date and now him I was done with everything.

"Did yall kiss?" He asked, he sounded a little angry. Was he jealous?

"No, w-why?" I ask looking at him actually a little confused.

"You remember when your mama had to watch me for a day?" He asked looking at me now.

My breath caught in my lungs. Of course I remember.

It was one of the only good days we had. We played in the backyard.

It was hot that day and Markyl thought it would be fun to play with the water hose. So we ran around out side taking turns spraying each other.

When I went to turn the water off he followed me to the side of the house.

He kissed me.

Then left me standing there. Not saying anything to me.

His mom came and picked him up soon after that. And that was it. He acted like it didn't happen so I acted like it didn't happen.

But I remembered.

"I remember... w-why?" I say now him even being around me makes me feel funny, but not in a bad way.

"Because, Korei. I remember, and everytime I talk to you, or even hear your name, I think about that day." He said putting his head in his hands. " and now you going on dates with these dudes all dressed up, looking beautiful as fuck. And that shit really getting to me." He said with a light angry chuckle. "Man I know I sound crazy, but Korei, I don't know what else to do. I need to tell you." He says now looking at me.

I look back at him. With mixed emotions.

Where the hell was all of this coming from? Is he saying that this whole  time he's liked me? And does he think he's just going to be able to say this and I'm supposed to fall for him.

Hell no!

But all that I can say with all of this in my mind is,

"Markyl..."

"I know that you think I'm just fuckin' with you, but I'm not. I want to start over Korei. Just give me a second chance." He said looking me straight in the eyes.

I only could sit there, looking back at him.

A second chance?
