Tough Love

18 (Lani and Carmen

Lani

"She just picked Deja over me. Ma, I don't know what to do anymore." I laid in the bed telling my mom what happened yesterday.

"What do you think you should do?" Her hand pushed my hair back repeatedly.

"I don't know, move on? I give her so many chances but now she's just playing with me" I looked at my mom then back at the tv.

"Whatever you think is right sweetheart. I'm gonna go to the grocery store real quick." She kissed my forehead and left the room.

"Check the garage when you get up." I looked at her as she gave me a quick wink. I sighed aloud admiring my new house. My mom is right, I need to move on. If she wants Deja then it wasn't meant to be.

Carmen😌: I was wondering if I could come over and keep you company after yesterday.

Me: Sure. I could use it.

I sent my address and went to check the garage in the meantime. Finally my own car, about time I was getting tired of the bus.

I went back inside doing a small happy dance.

"Stop dancing and open the door." Carmen looked at me through the glass in the door.

"Hey." I pulled my hands out the pockets of my sweater and gave Carmen a hug. "Sorry about what happened to your other house." She took her shoes off following behind me. "It's okay, I kinda like this house better." I crawled back in bed leaving space for her.

"How are you feeling?" Her arm wrapped around me. I shrugged cuddling into her embracing her body heat.

"You want something to drink? You hungry or anything?" I asked and she shook her head, Carmen rubbed my thigh inching her hand higher. Is this what people really want me for? To fuck?

"Lani, I always liked you." Carmen smiled, I gave her the thumbs up before scooting away.

"You could've been mine but you wanted Alex."

"Okay? I still want Alex. Now what?" I laid on my back. "She doesn't love you! She never did! Get over her."

"Get out," I mumbled pointing to the door. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean that." Carmen kissed down my neck, sliding her hand down my shorts and into my boxers.

"Carmen." I moaned while she rubbed around my clit spreading my wetness. She slowly entered two fingers and searched for my g spot. Her fingers pressed against my spot over and over.

I didn't want this to happen but it did, I'm here but my mind is somewhere else. I know Alex didn't mean to pick Deja over me. Alex hurt me before so I don't know if I should trust her or not. Whatever happens between me and Alex is unpredictable.

I know what I'm doing with Carmen is wrong but there's no way out of it. I faked moaned peeing a little on Carmen's fingers and sat up kicking her off my bed.

"Get out,"  I said pushing her out my room and out the front door. I can't always believe what I hear from people, that's why I need to know the truth.

Alex hasn't been on her game lately and she's been playing with my emotions. You would think after the first time I would leave her alone but I just can't! Alex makes me so happy and I know I deserve happiness, I've been nothing but kind to all the people in my life.

Actions are everything but we all know Alex doesn't know how to express herself! She's liked me all her life but instead of telling me she bullied me. It's a bad habit of hers but I know there's hope for us.

Carmen POV

I don't care about Lani or how she feels, I just want to get crazy with her for a little bit. But that didn't go as planned because she's still worrying about Alex

I don't know why Lani needs closure, closure isn't everything but that's just my opinion.

Then Lani had the nerve to kick me out the like what we did was a mistake. She'll get over Alex and realize I can give her so much more.

Yeah, Alex is my bro but she doesn't deserve Lani. I can provide so much more for Lani but Alex just got to her first. I wasn't around as much but when Lani came into the picture I knew I wanted her.

Alex gets everything she wants but not this time and I'll make sure of it. I'll go to hell and back just so I can call Lani mine. All the people in the world and Alex decided to settle down on this one? Absolutely not!

I deserve happiness! Lani makes me happy so why should I hide how I feel just because she's dating my friend? Alex doesn't care about anybody but herself and she won't give up until she gets what she wants no matter who she hurts in the process.
