Chapter 20: Troll Doll Look-a-Like

"Michael?" Semaj says moving her head from his hand and he sighs.

"Damn Sey, that was the last braid." She chuckles at the new name he had given her. She was actually enjoying it. It was new, and fresh, and she just liked it. It was cute.

"I'm sorry," she replies chuckling before turning around on her knees to face him. "But there's something I need to ask you and it's been eating at my brain since this morning."

"And what is that?" Michael says lowering his eyes and Semaj says hating the power he has over her.

Any time he clenched his jaw or lowered his eyes it sent shivers through her body and not good ones. Michael was capable of scaring her when he wanted to be scary and she could sometimes deal with it but sometimes she couldn't. This was one of the times. She couldn't help but cower under those milky brown eyes.

"Never mind." She mumbles shaking her head, about to turn around but Michael grabs her arms.

"No 'cuz you it sound like it's important so get to talkin." His voice was serious and stern making Semaj nod her head.

"What did you mean earlier about Kearston?"

"Whatchu talkin' 'bout?" Michael asks completely clueless.

"I mean what you said about her being all over you. What's the background story about that? And why am I just finding out about it now?" Semaj looks up at Michael right as he clenches his jaw and sits back taking a deep breath.

"Shit, I thought you knew forreal forreal but since you don't ima lay it out for you. Kearston wanted to get wit me I guess when I was like nineteen I think, somethin like that. She was a little young thing or whatever so I was like nah, I ain't wit it and on top of that I was somewhat dealin wit Lonnie's foolish ass and gettin to that point where I was like fuck all women. She felt some typa way 'bout it and ain't let it go since." Michael shrugs finally looking back at Semaj.

"Why? You worried?" He asks nodding over at her.

"Me? Worried? No." She scoffs shaking her head.

"Then why was you worried 'bout it?" Michael asks leaning forward.

"She had brought it up so I just wanted to know the background story about it." Semaj explains shrugging. "That's all."

"You thought there was somethin goin' on didn't you?"

"No." She lies but Michael catches it.

"When you lie you look away. Do you know that?" He asks cocking an eyebrow and Semaj turns her head back to Michael staring him in his eyes.

This wasn't the first time he has caught her in the mist of a lie but it was the first time he had called it out on her. There have been plently of times Semaj has told a miniture lie just to avoid seeming like a whimp or a weak female. She wanted to be perceived as strong but lying wasn't the way to go about it but Michael caught on quick like the snap of a finger.

"I've had people lie to me since the day i could comprehend so for you to think I wasn't gon catch that then you don't know me but, ima let it slide and act like I ain't hear it. I am gon give you a chance to tell me the truth though."

"Okay maybe I was jealous? Not because I thought something was going on but because there was a possibility that you were close to dating her and that-- it was wrecking my brain." She shrugs again and looks down at her hands.

"Stop lookin down so much. It makes you look weak." He lifts her face back up and licks his lips sending shivers down her spine. "Which you ain't and you're beautiful so show your face."
