Naive

x.02

After waking up, I went into the bathroom and brushed my teeth and hopped in the shower.

After I put my clothes on, I sat on my bed to let time pass since it was too early to leave for school.

I was going through my text messages and noticed the guy from the club messaged me.

Unknown Number: Hey Beautiful ❤️

Me: Who's this? 

Even though I knew who it was, I wanted to tease him a little.

Unknown Number: It's Caleb, the guy from yesterday at the club. 

Me: Oh hey.

Caleb: We should chill out some time.

I left him on read because I really didn't want to entertain him, so I put my phone in my pocket and went downstairs.

I went inside of the kitchen and found a note and read it.

Hey it's your mom, I left a little early for work and I should be coming a little late. Love you

I grabbed the note and threw it in the trash because this was a regular routine, so I didn't really get bothered by it.

Like usual, Jordan's car was outside, so I quickly grabbed my packed strawberries and went over to the car.

"Hey Jordan." I said smiling and leaning over to give him a hug.

"Hey sis, how you been?"

I shrugged my shoulders, "It's been okay, but I've just been a little lonely, ever since you moved out the house." I said frowning. I knew my brother sold drugs, and it may sound small but it was bigger than it sounded.

He had several warehouses fill with drugs, his own employes, he had respect everywhere. So he moved out to protect my mother & I, because as respected as he was, he had enemies that wanted his place.

"You know I'm doing this just to protect y'all.. I love y'all too much to have you guys have a target on your back you feel me?"

"Yeah, I understand. I just miss you." I said.

"I miss y'all too." He said as he stopped the car.

As soon as the car stopped, my phone began to ding indicating that someone had texted me.

Caleb: Why you left me on read, sexy?

I read the message on the display of my phone, and I didn't open the text message so he knew that I read it.

My brother grabbed my phone and he jerked his head back.

"Who the fuck is Caleb?"

"He's a friend."

"Where you met him at?"

"At a party."

He started the car and drove as he continued to attack me with questions.

"And how old is this nigga?"

I shrugged my shoulders.

"You can't speak na?"

"I don't know."

He then pulled up to the school, but he locked his car down.

"How long you been talking to this nigga for him to be calling you sexy?"

"I just met him yesterday."

He took in a deep breath before setting my phone back down.

"You know I love you and I'm just trying to protect you, and I don't think you should continue talking to this nigga."
