Re'Niyah
"Nigga I aint say you can have some of my cheese sticks." I laughed and threw a ketchup packet at Chris. "You ain't bout to eat all that food no way." he laughed. "Boy please I get this all time when I come here" I laughed. "Ain't that right wifey!" I yelled to the cashier, my best friend Marie. "Yes baby!" she laughed loudly and made a kissy noise. "Wifey huh?" he smirked moving his eyebrows. "Yes sir." I smirked stuffing some french fries in my mouth. We continued to talk and joke around until we finished our food. Marie pulled me to the side and said she was coming over, I already knew why so I just nodded and kissed her cheek.
"You know your chill as fuck" I said randomly.
"Thank you. You cool for a chick. Just laid back." he smiled glancing at me before looking back at the road. "How long have you known Jerome?" I asked. "Me and that nigga go waayy back." he licked his lips with a laugh. "How long you known him?" he asked stopping at a red light. "A good 3 years." I nodded. Jerome grew pretty close when I moved out here then Michael came and me and Jerome time together cut back.
And that was bad on my part I shouldn't have let Michael control me like that. When we got back to my place Chris closed the door behind him. I took off my sunglasses and set them on the coffee table along with my purse. We both sat on the couch, stealing glances at one another. It wasn't awkward or anything we just took in each others appearance. "Your freckles are cute." I commented. "I don't like them" he laughed a little.
"Boy tuh they look good on you. Better embrace that." I said seriously.
"Thank you." he smiled.
I watched his tongue glide across his lips; I swear it was like it was in slow mo. He pushed my hair out of my face grazing his thumb over my cheek softly. My skin grew warm and I looked away from him. "Hey." he whispered and scooted closer to me. I looked at him holding my bottom lip between my teeth. He licked his lips slowly and inched his face closer to mine. Our lips tangled together slowly before our tongues slipped into each others mouths. Our breathing picked up along with the speed of the kiss. The sudden ringing of his phone made us break the kiss, both of us letting out a breath.
"Yo." he mumbled into the phone.
"Alright I'll be there." he sighed and hung up the phone.
"I got to go." he licked his lips and I nodded.
"See you later?" he asked with a small smile.
"Only if you want." I smirked and he smiled.
He tossed me his phone and I put my number in. He taped the screen a few He winked at me before he closed door behind him. I sighed and bit my bottom lip hearing his car take off down the street. I need to slow down with him. I'm positive if his phone had not rang we would've gone further than that. I don't know what it is but I feel something. It could be an intense crush but I'm willing to see where it goes.
I am not looking for another relationship not anytime soon anyway, but if it happens, it happens.
I am not looking for another relationship not anytime soon anyway. And if I know Michael the way I do he's either going to come back tonight or in the morning and try to sweet talk me. And I'm not having it I love him dearly but he got to go. After thirty minutes of laying around Marie finally came over.
"What's going on with you and that guy from earlier? I want details! And where is that bitch ass nigga? I'll cut his dick off and flush it down the toilet just say the word!" she said all in one breath plopping down on the couch. I shook my head laughing at her a little, she never did like Michael.
"Well me and Chris are just chilling." I smiled biting my lip at the thought of the kiss from earlier.
"Where is Chris now?" she cooed.
"He had somewhere to be but we exchanged numbers so I'm sure we will see more of each other." I smiled. "And as for Michael I don't know nor do I care where he is. I texted him and told him to come get his shit or he won't have shit." I shook my head.
"Can we just bleach his shit please?" she pouted and I laughed. "I'm serious 'Niyah!" she nudged me. "I know. Are you spending the night?" I asked and she nodded. "Okay if his stuff not gone by the morning we can bleach it. Okay?" I reasoned.
"Fine." she huffed. "I'ma get you something for your face" she patted my leg and made her way to the kitchen.
Chris
"Marco you owe me." I cut my eyes at him. "Nigga chill I'm paying you for tonight plus all of your tips. You know yo ass get tips out the ass." he laughed. "Whatever." I laughed setting up the bar. Being that its Friday and the club is always packed I down me a couple shots and prepared for my long ass shift. I like bar tending it brings in good money but I don't want to be doing this shit forever.

Saturday Afternoon
I groaned from the sound of my phone ringing. I felt around in my bed for it until I found it and answered it before the person hung up. "Yo." I mumbled lowly. "Hey baby did I wake you?" Mama asked. "Yeah but it's okay. How are you?" I asked after clearing my throat. "I'm fine baby just calling to check up on you. Haven't heard from you in a while." she said.
"I know I'm sorry bout that. Just been working." I sighed.
"I know baby. Are you still coming down for thanksgiving?" she asked.
"Yes ma'am. You already know." I chuckled along with her.
After I talked to her I put my phone on the charger then showered and got dressed. Loud knocks came to my door, I already knew who it was. "Sup Rome." I laughed and dapped him. "Sup nigga? 'Niyah good? You never did call me." he said and plopped down on the couch. "Oh my bad. But she good we hung out for a while." I said and went into the kitchen.
"Weird thing is I met the day before." I said walking back into the living room with a water bottle.
"Oh really? How that go?" he asked.
"Good 'til that nigga barged outside." I sighed and wiped my hand over my face.
"Most nigga's cant even ask her her name. That how tuff he be up her ass hell me her hardly hung out." she shook his head. "I'm bout to head over there you wanna ride?" he asked. "Yeah let's go." I said and grabbed my keys off the coffee table. I locked my door behind me and we headed to his car. When we got there we went up the steps and knocked on the door.
"Coming!" she yelled. She opened the door and a smile spread across her face.
"J!" she smiled and hugged.
"'Niyah!" he said just excitedly as her. She stepped aside and let us in.
"Hey Chris." she smiled and gave me a half hug.
"Hey." I smiled.
"Hey Rome." Marie smiled coming down the steps.
"Hey Marie." he smiled.
"Who cooked?" Jerome asked.
"I did." Marie said. Jerome looked between us and headed into the kitchen. "Fat ass." 'Niyah laughed. Three hard knocks came to the door and she sighed. "Marie gimmie that box please?" she asked pointing to the box on the coffee table. "Can't we just bleach his stuff please?" Marie pouted and 'Niyah laughed. "No I want this to be as peaceful as possible." she said walked over to the door.
She opened the door and shoved the box to him, "Here." she mumbled. "Lemme talk to you for a minute." he said lowly to her. She sucked her teeth and stepped out the front door closing it behind her. "He bet not touch her or I'll go out there and whoop his ass." Jerome said loudly.
Shit I'll help him whoop his ass.
