~ Chapter Nine ~

I watch her walk to her car then pull off as I stand in my doorway. Half of me wanted her to go but the other half kinda wanted her to stay. After the fucked up day I had good company and some good ass conversation is all I need but for whatever reason that girl just irks me. Like who the fuck told you you were Jesus? "Broad always tryna help somebody." I mumble taking myself and my good liquor back in the house. I scratch my stomach scrolling through my phone to get to Vanessa's contact. I can't really talk to her but I surely can fuck this pain away, that's all she's good for nowadays.

"Hello? Lexus where the fuck are you?" I take the phone away from my ear not really caring to hear her talk out the side of her neck. "You got me out here doing nothing when I could've been working! You're so selfish and full of it sometimes, you rea-"

"Ight baybeh..I apologize. I'm 'bouta come through right now." She scoffs all loud. "Don't bother. You think imma give you some after you ignored me all day? You're really dumber than I thought if you think that." I run my hand down my face then I grab my car keys. Vanessa's only acting all tough cause she wants me to blow her back out, ain't nothing new. The line stays silent until I get in my car. "You were with a girl huh?"

"What?" I scrunch up my face. "Ain't nobody was with no girl. Why would I fly you out just to be with another girl? What sense does that make?" I ask already pissed off. I lean back in my seat with the keys in my hand cause I ain't moving not one tire on this bitch just to go argue. "It was just a question. You been dodging my calls and texts all day."

"It wasn't jus' ah question though."

"Yes it was Lexus. I-" I cut her off. "Well it was ah dumbass question that just got you hung up on."

"What? Wait babe." I hang up anyways then I block her number like I always do when she makes me mad. I put my keys in the ignition and I start to drive to the only person I know out here besides my grandmother.

I stand outside of her house holding my Hennessy bottle. I pick up a rock and I just stare at all the the windows that might be her bedroom. "Aw shit." I laugh when I throw the rock and miss. I pick it back up tossing it at the window on the far right. I sigh hearing the lil dog barking then the front door opening. "What, are you stalking me now?" She asks leaning up against the door. I smirk stepping closer. "You gonna let me in?"

"Yeah, sure just be quiet. My dad's home." I nod following her upstairs. I look back at the unlocked door shaking my head. I guess black folks 'round here don't lock doors. She opens up her bedroom door then takes my arm helping me to the bed, I guess I drunk more than I thought. "Tryna get me in tha bed already?" I ask as she lays me back. She shakes her head no as her cheeks turn a shade of red. "You're drunk Lexus. Did you drive?"

"Mhmm. C'mere." I motion for her to come closer. "Huh?" She stops taking off my shoes. "Jus' c'mere Rayne." She comes close but not close enough so I pull her down on top of me. "Lexus wha-"

I cut her off by kissing her. I flip us so I could be on top then I grip and touch whatever's in hands reach. You know what they say, Hennything can happen. "Lexus."

"Wassup baybeh?" I kiss down to her neck then the top of her breast. "Stop." She breaths out. I continue to kiss her then I pull open the string to her robe, exposing the boy shorts and tank top she's wearing. "Stop." She tries to close her robe and push me off all at once. "It's okay, I gotchu." I open her robe again sloppily leaving kisses on her until I feel a hard smack against my cheek. "Get off of me! Get off Lexus!" I hold my face looking down at Rayne's red cheeks and watery eyes.

I get off and she crawls towards the top of her bed closing her robe crying and I end up throwing up on her carpet.

I frown waking up holding my head. I look around the room I'm in not remembering a damn thing from last night. I pull the sheets back seeing I'm in my boxers with a trashcan next to the bed and a towel. "Damn." I mumble feeling sick already. "Good morning." Rayne walks in smiling holding a tray of  toast, grits, eggs, and bacon with orange juice and coffee.

"Morning." I watch her set the food next to me then she goes into the bathroom and comes out with a bottle of Aspirin. "Take two of these, it'll help with the headache." I nod looking around her room, kinda reminds me of mine surprisingly. Dark and simple. Something I wouldn't expect coming from a girl like her. She sits next to me. "Cmon eat. You'll feel a lot better, I promise."

"Ay I didn't do nothin' embarrassing or offensive did I?" I ask tryna remember anything from last night. She stops smiling then goes back to how she was before. "No." She shakes her head. "You were perfectly fine."
