Deception

July 2016

Neriah POV

"Hurry up y'all!" Tati yelled as we all ran towards our boarding gate with our luggages. At last we were heading to LA for our reunion with the squad. I am extremely tired, because last night I was over at Kevin's place. Nothing freaky happened, don't worry about it.

Once we boarded the plane, I got out my travel pillow and rested my seat back, ready for the nap of a lifetime.

Savian POV

I looked down at my phone to see a message from Jac.

"Hey ma, have you boarded yet?"

I responded, "Yea. Thanks for checking on me bestie. :)"

After responding, I looked around. On my left, was a knocked out Neriah, snoring away. And on my right was a zoned out Tatiana, staring out the window.

"Tati, boo, you okay? You seem kinda distracted." I asked.

"Huh?" she responded, "Oh, yeah, i'm fine. Just thinking."

"About Devin?" I responded with a smirk.

"Naw, chill." she said giggling, "How many more hours again?" she asked.

"About 3 hours." I responded.

Tatiana POV

I can't get my mind off of him, it's actually bothering me. I know he's in a relationship, it's just.. I think there's chemistry.
"Chemistry" nigga got me sounding corny asf. It's about to be a long flight with him on my mind.

Seconds before we took off my phone beeped. Savi's nosey self looked at the message with me.

"Hey beautiful, hope you have a safe flight I will see you there." -Devin💍

"Why does he call you beautiful when your ass ugly?" Savi stated as I smacked her.

"Damn Tati, I was playing!" she whisper-yelled as she rubbed the side of her face with a mean-mug plastered over it.

Me: Thanks love, hope you have a safe journey too.

"Y'all cute." Savi said as I turned off my phone.

I rolled my eyes at her, as I tried to take a nap.

Savian POV

"Yo, Savi." Neriah called out.

"Yea?" I responded pulling out my earbuds.

"Have you heard from Jacques today?" she asked.

"No, why?" I quickly responded. (It's been a month since i've "heard" from him... a text don't count, right?) I thought.

"He hasn't been answering my calls lately.." she said starting to sound worried.

"I'm sure he's fine." I said reassuring her.

I put my earbuds back in as I glanced at her still worried face. I zoned back out into my thoughts as "Believer by Olivia Escuyos" played.
