A MEMPHIS CRY

Chapter 9

*How do y'all know each other*

               Shontiera Lexis A.K.A

"So wait... Y'all best friend's"? Dope asked even though she just told them that, I chuckled.
"Yes" Lexis said with a sneaky grin on her face.
"How do y'all know each other"? I asked looking at my best friend.
"King is-" king cut Lexis off.
King wrapped his arm around my shoulder " Don't even worry bout that baby Lexis just a homegirl from around the way". I nodded my head and eyed Lexis for her approval. 
She shot me a smile. "Yeah I've known King and Dope for a long time" she said with sass in her voice.
Dope nodded his head with a smile.
"Come on let's go talk" King said grabbing my hand for us to walk away.
"If you touch or do anything to my friend I will hurt you King" Lexis yelled out as we walked away.
Dope chuckled "Relax shawdy she's in good hand" he said sarcastically as he took Ashley by the hand and walked away leaving Lexis alone in the crowd.

I chuckled at Dope he was a real comedian, he was cool and good looking too. You know how they say you always got that one cute friend and that one ugly friend well that didn't go for King and Dope because both of them were fine ass niggas. Dope was a resemblance of the Rapper Master P's  son Romeo, but taller.
Anyways, Me and King walked outside and sat in his backyard on a love sofa to talk.

"So Lexis is ya bestfriend huh"? He asked.
"Yup... She's been since we were kids. Her mom and my mom were real close" I admitted.
"Oh Ard" he said smiling at me.
I chuckled "She's cool she's not a mean person I promise".
"I ain't worried about Lexis at all I promise all I'm worried about is you" he said in a deep sexy voice as he stared at me.
"What are you staring at King"? i asked letting out a small giggle.
"I got a question for you" he said, now getting my full attention as if he didn't have it before.
I nodded my head and waited patiently for him to ask his question, as i felt my heart skip a beat. He leaned in closer to me and took my hand in his hand " Will you be my girl"?
"I don't know bout all that King you might got hoes and I ain't the one for all that" I honestly said looking dead in his eyes.
" I won't sit here and say I don't talk to people cause I'm a real nigga, but what I will say is I will drop everything for you Tiera and that's a promise".

I couldn't help but to smile as i bite down on my bottom lip. I don't know but it was something about King that made me believe what he was saying. He was so sincere and i believed in him and everything he told me. He was doing something to me right now and it was weird. This was a feeling I had never felt in my life. He leaned in I met him half way and he kissed my lips so softly.

                Lexis

I watched as King tongued down Tiera. I was heated knowing he don't even kiss females, as long as I been fucking with him he never kissed me. How could he chose her over me let alone know she was my best friend and still deal with her. I had him first, how could he just leave me for her? I stormed out the party with no destination in mind I just had to get away from there I couldn't just sit there and watch my man make out with someone else, that was supposed to be me. Dope stopped me at the door...

"Leaving so soon" he asked as he hit the blunt he was smoking.
"Yeah I gotta go I can't watch this".
"Watch what"? He frowned his face up.
"My man make out with my best friend" I said like the mad woman I was.
He chuckled and blow out the smoke he held in his mouth "Shawdy that's not ya man you can't even be mad".
"And why not"? I asked furious.
"Cause you already knew what it was when you first started popping ya pussy for King. It was only a smash thang" Dope said.

Not ready to continue to fuss with him I threw my hand up and walked away. Dope could never understand how I felt about King, regardless of what anyone said I would always love King. I knew Tiera was just temporary to make me jealous he would always come back to me.

                King

12:45 p.m.

I pulled up to Tiera's aunt's complex and looked over at Tiera who was still looking so good.

"You gonna text me"? I asked her.
She nodded her head with a smile "I enjoyed tonight with you" she said so innocent.
I smiled "Me too. Trust me it's more to Come".
She got out my car and proceeded to walk away, but I couldn't just let her go that soon. I hopped out and jogged over to her, she faced me with a confused expression and before she could even speak I smashed my lips into hers. I released the kiss and stared in her eyes with my hands on both sides of her face.
"Shontiera I want you to be mine" I spoke sincerely.
She stared at me smiling while biting Down at her bottom lip "Really"?
I nodded my head still holding her face in my hands.
"When I know your serious" she said turning to Walk away but I pulled her back.
"I'm serious" I said with seriousness in my eyes.
She nodded her head and peaked my lips "Good cause I want you too" she whispered.

After confirming that she was my girl and all I wanted was her I kissed her once more and watched her walk away in her apartment. I smiled to myself cause I knew this was what I wanted and there wouldn't be no mistakes.
I went back to my place where Dope and Ashley were still at chilling. I needed some advice from my boy and he was the only person I could talk to at this moment.
I plopped down on the couch and covered my face with my hand. Dope Chuckled, sitting across from me.
"You good G"? Dope asked.
I looked at him "Dope they bestfriends and honestly I'm really feeling Tiera".
"I mean I fucks with Tiera she seems like the down to earth chick just for you I say you go for her not that other chick" Dope said.
"I agree. This Lexis girl seems like trouble, but Tiera seems so sweet and innocent that's what you need someone to keep ya ass calm" Ashley chimed in.

We all laughed. I nodded my head agreeing, I knew they wasn't gonna tell me no wrong so I decided to go with their judgement and stick with Tiera and cut Lexis off for good.
