MUST BE LOVE

Chapter 48

Chris' POV

I hoped up so fast & looked around. I still had on all my clothes so that has to be a plus, but I seen Jen laying on the other sofa. I grabbed my phone & keys & dipped without waking her up cause I don't need this type of drama in my life right now. Damn what am I going to tell Imani. I'm bout to go to her house now. When I got there she was laying in the bed watching TV

"Hey babe," I said going to peck her lips

"Hey, you've been drinking haven't you cause I smell it on you," she said pecking my lips then pushing me away

"Yea, just a little last night. That's why I didn't come over," I said sitting on the bed

"So where did you stay cause I know you didn't drive home drunk. You look like you just woke up not too long ago. Did you bring what I asked you too in that text this morning," she said curling up in the blanket

"Oh, I crashed at a friend's house on the couch. What text, I didn't get no text" I lied, looking in my pants pocket for my phone. It was in there but it was dead. "Oh damn its dead, but what did you want," I asked putting my phone on her charger next to her bed

"I wanted you to bring me some ginger ale & some soup cause I don't feel well," she said laying back down. I can tell she don't feel good cause its 11 in the morning & she's still in bed with her hair tied & her pajamas on

"Oh, I'll go get you some but let me take a shower right quick. Did you wash those clothes I left over here," I asked before looking through my phone & seeing the text she sent

"Yea, they're folding in the bottom drawer. Its some sweats & a t-shirt in there too that I stole that one night," she told me. We be over each other house so much, I got a drawer & hygiene stuff here too. But she got more at my house. That's why I want her to go ahead & move in 

"Alright," I said going to her linen closet getting a wash clothe & towel then going to take a steaming hot shower. I was trying to remember what happened last night but my thought were interrupted when Imani yelled my name

"Chris you got a text message," she said

"See who it is for me please," I replied rinsing the soap off my body, getting ready to get out

I finished up in the shower then wrapped the towel around my waist & went back to Imani's room to get my clothes. She was laying on the bed looking at me with a puzzled look on her face

"Who was the text from babe," I asked walking in & she was silent for a minute

"Chris, who is this Jenny person. Why did she say you could have woke her up & told her bye before you left this morning," she asked holding my phone up to the message

Shit, I forgot she put her number in my phone last night as Jenny

"Babe, its not what you think. I was at the bar last night & I seen Jen. We were  hanging out cause she's actually cool when she's not with her friend. We had a few drinks & that's it," I said coming to her

"So that's where you stayed last night. This better not be Jen from the shop. Who is friends with Sasha. That was all up on you in Wal-Mart," she said looking at me sternly

"It it but I promise I didn't do nothing with her. I must have got really drunk & she drove to her house cause it was around the corner from the bar. We didn't have sex cause I woke up with all my clothes on & then I left without saying anything" I pleaded

"Chris seriously. how could you. We haven't even been together a whole year. I knew this was too good to be true," she said sitting my phone down shaking her head. "I really thought you were different, but now I see. You're just like the rest of them. So you can gone on cause I'm not like them other girls. You will not fuck around on me, no buddy," she said with her arms folded
