His Melanin Addiction

"So who is that Trinity girl, she's new." Imani asked as soon as we got into my dorm room. I sighed.

"She's a long time friend and Alina's cousin." I said. Imani rose an eyebrow. I just blank stared at her and she shrugged her shoulders.

"Anything else, I should know about her?" Imani asked. I shook my head as I started to take out my African-American History text book. I started to take notes when I felt Imani start to massage my shoulders. It went from massaging to her kissing on my neck.

"Mani, what you doing?" I asked.

"What do you think?" she said before continuing to kiss all on me. I grabbed her wrist, and pulled her away from me.

"Look, I got notes to take for this final so if I were you, I'd sit my ass down and grab a controller and find something to watch on Netflix." I said. Looking right back into my notes.

"Why do you always make time for them but not time for me?" she whined. I slammed my pen down, I knew this was a mistake the moment I saw the look on Trinn's face when she walked into the mess hall and saw her on my lap.

"Man, look we literally just got together. And we barely know each other pass from what we've observed. We not serious-"

"Clearly we ain't."

"What's that supposed to mean?" I asked.

"Um, your friends ain't even know about me, come on Josiah. I gurantee the only one that sort of knows about me is Wonder." she looked all sad and shit.

"Okay, what you looking all sad fa?" I asked seriously. It was like the old me was slowly coming back out around Imani. She glared at me and rolled her eyes. I shrugged and continued to write my notes. My phone vibrated on the night stand and this girl snatched my phone up.

"Who's Kim?" she asked. I got up and snatched it out her hands.

"Don't worry bout all that." I said answering.

"Josiah, I got to work tonight. Can you watch Lindo tonight?" she asked.

"Yeah, come through." I said. Imani scoffed.

"You can't be fucking serious." Imani said as she walked closer to me. I looked at her like she lost her mind.

"Who the fuck you there with?" Kim snapped. I hung up cause I don't got time for her or her mess.

"What's your problem?" I asked Imani, who had her arms crossed pouting.

"Ever since lunch you just being distant." she continued to pout. I heard a knock at the door. I walked out the room feeling like whoever one the other side of the door is my guardian angel.

I opened the door to see Trinity wearing her workout clothes, I assumed she was going to practice. She looked shocked to see me.

"Um, is Alina here?" she asked. I shook my head and she kissed her teeth.

"Why would she be here?" I asked, she never really hang out with me or Kelvin.

"She said, she was tutoring Kelvin." she said.

"Well alright." Trinn said about to walk away, but then Kim walked off the elevator. She walked over and surprisingly greeted Trinn.

"Hello Trinity, right?" she asked, Trinn looked her like she was thinking 'Bitch you know my  damn name.' I laughed. I took Lindo from Kim so that she could look in the diaper bag and tell me what I needed to get, and Trinn got a peek of him and smiled making me smile.
