Bad Behavior

Chapter 13

Mynetta in M/M
Vanessa POV

She glanced past me before folding her arms across her chest. "Do you wanna be my girlfriend or not?"She asked.

"Nah, I'm good."I lied. She stood there, her eyes quickly fixed onto the ground beneath us. She was quiet for a minute. Truth is, I was not good. I was more than happy to be her girlfriend but I can't tell her that. I'm not ready for a relationship with anybody at the moment. I hate to turn her down but I'm protecting myself. I don't want to, in any way, get hurt again or hurt anyone else. Not like... because I don't cheat. I'd never cheat on Mynetta or purposely do anything to hurt her and I hope she wouldn't do that to me. I've just got to get my trust issues together before I even think about stepping into a relationship. I just don't want to go through that same heartbreak again. She dropped the gift box and pushed past me to get to her car. In no time, she had pulled out of the drive way. I watched her car drive farther and farther away from my home. I suddenly felt like shit. For turning her down. For acting so nonchalant about the question. For answering the way I did, for not explaining myself before she could run off.

At that moment, I had realized that I'd just hurt her, big time. I felt tears threatening to fall from my eyes as a paining feel washed over my chest. The pain felt as if the strings of my heart were being tugged at. I've never felt this feeling before so I don't know why the feeling decided to make a sudden appearance at a time like this. I sighed hard and plopped on the ground next to the grass.

I contemplated on fully opening the rest of the gift but I don't know if that's what Mynetta would have wanted me to do. So I sat there, just looking at it. My eyes drifted to the grass beside my leg to see an army of ants walking in a line into an ant pile.

I can't remember the last time I went outside to play and study grass and the small creatures in it so this really intrigued me. I wanted to stomp the ant pile, as a way to let some of the sadness out but I decided against it.

I looked at the gift and just went for it. I pulled the top open and looked inside. It held numerous clear diamond earrings inside which made me think of all the times I complained to her about needing new ones for my ear. A smile spread across my face; she really was listening to me talk about getting the rose gold earring that day. I moved all eleven diamonds out of the way to see a necklace with a crown attached to it. Under the crown read "Queen" in italicized writing. It was beautiful. I put everything back in place, put the top of the box back on and went inside the house.

Normally, I'd go see what they were talking about in the kitchen but right now, I didn't feel like it. I went upstairs and grabbed my phone to call Mynetta. I needed to thank her for buying me these beautiful items. The phone rung and rung until it was forwarded to voicemail. I know she's probably mad at me but the least she could do was answer my call. It could be important, which it is.

I huffed after being sent to voicemail for the second time and just decided to leave a voicemail.

"Hi, I was just calling to say thank you. So, thank you for the gifts. I'll be sure to repay you the two fifty on a later date. I know you're mad at me right now but please don't be, I have yet to explain my reasoning. I'm sorry Mynetta, please call back when you get the chance."I uttered before ending it. A few minutes later, I received a text from her telling me to explain my reasoning and to hurry up because she had more important things to do today.

That text right there, hurt me to my core. How could she say that to the birthday girl?

I sent the text, explaining why I declined her in deep detail. She replied with a simple "ok" which made me furious. I just sent this bitch a long ass paragraph apologizing and all I get is an okay? "Mayne! Fuck it."I mumbled to myself and I walked over to the window to the right side of my bed. I pushed one blind up and looked through it. I looked down out, overlooking the backyard. I could see Mama rolling a blunt to smoke on as she sat down in one of the patio chairs. Momma was standing over here with her hands on her hips, probably fussing at her for not helping Tam set up.

Mama put the blunt out after two puffs and they both started to bring out bowls of food.

Hours later, I found myself leaving the stage after giving my "thank you" speech to all the people who showed up. I really wasn't in the mood to be partying but as I overlooked the crowd, everyone was dancing, drinking or passing hookah. I wasn't in my birthday spirit anymore even though all my friends and classmates were here. Mynetta wasn't here, I haven't talked to her since earlier. That's part of the reason I was sad. The other was that, I turned down a possible blessing that I really wanted. I wanted to leave the party but I knew I couldn't. If I just up and vanished the club, people would start wondering where I was and then the party would get shut down. That would ruin everyone's high and I'm just not up for all the confusion.

The back of the club, where all the private rooms were, was blocked off, except one but nobody could go in. It was locked and upstairs, the VIP was also blocked off.

I needed to brighten up my mood before somebody noticed so I headed straight for the bar after thanking several people. I ordered gin and tonic. I could basically order whatever I wanted for the night, it was on the house since it's my birthday.

I slurped it down, ignoring the feeling in my throat as I ordered another one. And another one...

After my fourth gin and tonic drink, I felt that I was loose enough even though the alcohol hadn't hit me just yet. It would hit me soon though, and I don't want to get sloppy drunk and end up showing my ass in front of all of these people.

"Hello ?"

I looked up to see a fine chocolate skinned girl standing in front of me. I took in her appearance before speaking to her. She looks hella young. Her outfit complimented her skin tone and body frame. I could tell she was thick and i didn't even really look at her ass. Damn...
