His Melanin Addiction

I sat by his side in the hospital. Though the clinic gave him his emergency EpiPen and benadryl for his hives.  They still wanted to take him the hospital for precautions and further treatment. Imani was here also. She was boohoo crying. I was annoyed

"What happened?" I asked and she played with her braid before talking.

"I was feeding him and then he had red marks on his face and he was talking with a lisp. I don't know." she went on and on.

"You didn't know that he was allergic to sesame seeds?" I asked and then she looked really guilty.

"He's allergic to sesame seeds?" she asked and I nodded.

"Yeah, why do you think he never eats McDonald's or Burger King?" I said. She simply shrugged. He's been knocked out for about three hours. They gave him stronger medicating for the swelling of his eyes and tongue. His skin was clearing up. It was then Kelvin and Alina rushed in. They both looked so worried Kelvin dropped to his knees.

"Nah, they killed my dawg! I can tell he put up a fight. Man, I guess I can have yo room." I looked at him in disbelief.

"Kelvin, Josiah isn't dead, he's just asleep." Alina said annoyed as she glared over at Imani for a quick minute.

"Yo but why his face still look like that, ain't it been an hour?" Kelvin asked. I shrugged making us both look at the closest thing to a doctor in the room, Alina.

"It could take about three hours for the swelling to go down. But how'd this happen? How'd he get sesame seeds he's usually really careful when ordering his food." Alina asked making us all look over at Imani, who bit at her nail nervously.

"It was an accident. I didn't know. I thought he just didn't like sesame seeds I didn't know he was allergic."

"Wow." Alina dragged. I looked at her before I decided to get up. My ankle wasn't hurting as much anymore I guess to me staying off of it. I looked down at his swollen face, I was thinking about kiss his head but then I remembered Imani was in here. So I awkwardly patted his shoulder.

"Tell him we were here." I told Imani as I pulled Alina out as she was glaring at Imani. Imani just nodded. As we were walking out Alina took her arm from my grasp.

"OO I just want to rip each braid off her scalp!" Alina snapped Kelvin placed his arm on her shoulder.

"Calm down bae." Kelvin said in a calming tone. But one thing about Alina she couldn't be calmed down.

"Tell mi fi calm down one more bloodclaut time." Alina said through gritted teeth. I laughed while Kelvn just bit his lip.

"Don't be talking to a nigga like that, you know I like that shit." he said holding onto her waist, making her roll her eyes and blush.

"Well you calmed her down." I joked. Alina rolled her eyes again.

"I got to head home, to write my paper for Professor Pollozzi. You guys want to help me?" I said. Alina was about to say something until Kelvin lifted her onto his shoulder.

"We got some business to handle back at my place." Kelvin said Alina just giggled. As Kelvin jogged away with her on his shoulder. I rolled my eyes.

"Text me when you get home!" I heard Alina yell out to me. I just walked over to my dorm. When I got to the door, I patted my pants searching for my keys. I gratefully found them. I unlocked the door and walked in almost tripped over one of Alina's damn sneaker. I swear she just threw her shoes every where. I picked it up and tossed it into her room before going into my room. I stripped of my clothes and pulled on some bloomer shorts, that hugged my butt nicely. Then I pulled on a sweatshirt that I had got from my high school. I took my ponytail out and let my curls breathe.
