Never Let Go

Break Up To Make Up: Chapter 43

Zania

I headed out the gym into the parking lot after practice totally exhausted. Even though indoor track wasn't in season until a few more months coach still had us training. I didn't mind though, it kept my mind off of the drama I've been dealing with.

"Hello." I answer the unknown number.

"Zania Davis."

I sucked my teeth hard. "Not my name, and how you get my number? I changed it for a reason."

His laugh annoyed me even more. "I got my ways."

Rolling my eyes in realization I tossed my duffle bag in my back seat switching the phone to speaker as I started up my car.

"I'm not stupid, I already know Charley gave it to you." I state. "Ouu I swear I'm cussing her ass out when I see her." I say more to myself but again his laugh came through the phone clearly.

"You damn right. So you changed your number because?"

"Because I'm grown and can do what the fuck I want with my phone. Any further questions?" I fuss.

"Firstly you can watch how you talking to me and secondly don't get fucked up because you want to be bold over the phone."

"I mean I can just hang up Ian."

"And I bet I keep calling yo ass too."

I sighed in frustration not really in the mood to argue.

"What do you want Ian, I'm busy."

Pulling out the parking lock I stopped at a red light.

"Marli wanna see you."

"Marli or you?" I question.

"She do-I mean I do too."

I could hear muffled voices in the background before he put his phone on speaker.

"Hey Nia, you come see me today?!" Marli's cute voice asks making me smile.

"Hey boo and yeah I might. Where you at?"

"We at the shop." Ian interrupts and answers.

"I was talking to her not you." 

I laughed along with Marli as I pulled into my driveway and killed the engine.

"So you coming?" He asks.

"I don't know." Pretending like I wasn't at this very second trying to put a outfit together in my head to go see him in.

He sighed and I knew he knew I was full of shit. "Well imma be waiting anyways, I'm here all night."

I talked to Marli a little more as I laid my under wear, bra and outfit out on the bed before taking my shower.

As soon as I walked inside the shop Marli ran straight to me. Ian looked up but he was busy doing a tattoo so I decided not to bother him.

"Hey Nia!" Marli hugged my thighs tightly making me laugh.

"Hey boo, you getting so big. And look at all this hair you got." I touched her long braid in amazement, it was braided in a single braid going to the back and it almost touched the middle of her back.

Picking her up I sat down with her in my lap as she took my phone and started playing with it. I kept my outfit simple but cute and I knew I did good because Ian kept cutting his eyes over looking at me.
