"Don't leave." I cried clinging on to Keshion.
"I'm coming back for you Kaelyn. When I get my shit together. Believe that." He told me.
"Promise me." I said.
"I promise. Keep your head up sis. It will be a year at most." He promised. I nodded and...
We got back from the court and everyone sat on the couch. I went to take a shower, and so did Miya. I was first to come out and the boys were having a good ass conversation until they saw me. They all got quiet and looked up at me.
"Y'all ain't shit." I stated.
"Y'all trying to see what's up with this party?" Daniel asked.
"Not really, but I will." I shrugged.
"Ok. We'll meet back here at 10." Jordan said, and just like that, they were all gone. I shrugged, walking into my room. I grabbed my phone off of the bed looking through my Instagram . I saw Taryn post a picture of her and Elijah hugged up. She captioned it: "Us never them." I politely liked the picture and kept scrolling.
After a while I walked into my closet. I looked through my clothes searching for the perfect outfit to piss Elijah off. I smiled pulling out every piece of clothing. I'm about to show Elijah how comfortable the friend zone really is.
Daniel was the first to show up to my house. Miya was already knocked out, so I opened the door.

He looked me up and down before smiling.
"Damn," He uttered. I blushed. "Elijah letting you out the house like that?" He asked.
"Elijah is not a nigga, and my daddy is dead. Therefore, there ain't no nigga I answer to." I told him. He laughed a little
"So you gone let me in or..." he trailed of.
"Of course. Come in." I said, moving out of his way. We sat on the couch in silence for a while.
"I think we started on a bad note when I first met you." He finally spoke.
"You think? The first thing you said to me was 'Damn ma how much for one round in them jeans?' How did you expect me even like you?" I asked
"Damn. I'm sorry," He said. "But I bet you don't remember meeting just any customer." He said. I had to agree.
"Yeah. You caught my eye for a while. You never noticed me eyeing you while I danced?" I admitted.
"I thought it as all in my head." He said. I laughed.
"I liked you, but then you opened your mouth, and that bullshit came out." I shook my head.
"I'm not the best at picking up women. I get hoes. That's me. I don't know how to talk to women who actually respect themselves." He admitted. I looked at him surprised.
"Your mom ain't teach you?" I asked.
"My mom was a hoe. She had so many niggas coming through the house I thought it was normal. My daddy in jail so it was just me and her with her gang of niggas." He shrugged. He looked down, and I saw the pain on his face. I pulled him into a hug.
"I don't like my girl being friendly with niggas."
I looked up at Elijah and Jordan, releasing Daniel from the hug.
"Last time I checked, my name is Kaelyn, not Taryn play boy." I said. He kissed his teeth, looking at Jordan. Jordan put his hands up.
"It's not like I tried to play you. You never gave me the time of day." He told me.
"Why the hell you chased me for so long if you already had a girl? Why did you kiss me yesterday? Why..." I stopped before I had Daniel hear the rest.
"You realize you're everything I ever wanted right? I chased you because I love you. I told you yesterday I was giving up. Taryn was me giving up on you. She ain't making me chase her." He told me. I nodded.
"Good. Stay with her. Stay on the easy route." I told him.
"Y'all niggas ready?" Keshion asked, walking through the door.
"Yeah." I got up.
"Miya not coming?" He asked. I shook my head.
"Miya don't party."
He nodded, and we walked out the door.

"Omg! You guys made it!" Riah cheered.
"Of course Riah. Your parties be the best." Jordan said. She smiled. I knew she had a thing for him, but she just be out with it.
"Well I hope you all enjoy." She walked away and I heard her friends squealing around her.
"Bro. Why haven't you got with her yet?" I finally asked.
"Maybe because you can't stand her, and I'm not about it switch up on you for no broad." He said.
"Awww." I smiled before glaring at Elijah. I smiled again and turned around to the party.
"Let's get it." I said. I walked off into the crowd. I saw a lot of people I knew from school, but you know I don't fuck with any of them so they just starred at me walk through the party. I felt someone tap me on the shoulder, and I turned around to see Daniel.
"It look like one of these people might come at you at any time." He told me. I laughed.
"They just might."
"That mean you need big daddy d to protect you." He smiled. I rolled my eyes.
"If you want to hang with me all you gotta do is ask." I said. He laughed.
"You got me. Kaelyn can I kick shit with you since Keshion already getting dry humped, and I don't fuck with strangers." He asked.
"Of course Danny."
"Yo body on my body baby. I'm about to catch a body in here baby."
You heard all of the girls cheer simultaneously. I smiled at Daniel he looked at me with his eyebrows rose.
"Try to keep up Danny." I winked before turning around. I bent over finally giving him what he'd been waiting on. I didn't even care to stop when the song went off. I slowed it down for a second and he stopped me.
"I think we need to stop." He said. I turned to face him.
"I was just starting." I said.
"Exactly, and so is baby d." He nodded down. "Keshion would loose his shit."
"Alright. Let's go get drinks and we can go out back and talk." I offered. He nodded. I lead him into the kitchen and we both poured cups of jungle juice before leaving out the door.
There were a few people smoking by the door, but most people were in the pool. I took him to some open chairs. We talked for the rest of the night as if a party wasn't going on around us.
