Chapter 21: The Magic Touch Makes Me Spin

"G-g-girlfriend?" Semaj stutters not believing her ears.

"Yeah Semaj, my girlfriend." He replies nodding his head and all she can do is nod.

The words couldn't even come out of her mouth. She was shocked. She didn't think that they would ever become official for the simple fact that he just didn't seem like someone who would be willing to settle down and be with someone else after the whole Lonnie situation but here she stood, right in front of him, as the word girlfriend oozed from his mouth.

"Wait so you cuss me out and then you come over here and ask me to be your girlfriend?" She asked obviously confused by his change in character.

"I ain't cuss you out Semaj." Michael defends sighing and shaking his head.

"You kind of did.." She mumbles looking down at the floor remembering how he made her feel. "Are you just saying you want to be my boyfriend, and asking me to be your girlfriend, because you feel sorry for hurting my feelings and don't have any other way to express it?"

"Do you think I'm that fuckin' evil?" Michael asks cocking his brows.

"No, but why are you asking me to become official? Why now? What's the thing about it? I mean--"

"You mean to jus' say yes an keep the shit movin right?" He says sighing once more and she shakes her head.

"No, because I don't want you backing out on commitment. I don't want that happening so if you're doing this because you need a way to apologize then I'm letting you out of it. In the long run, I'm going to be the one to end up getting hurt and I--"

"Semaj you know how I say that you talk too much?" He interrupts her as she rambles on and on and she nods my head. "Well you doin' that shit now Sey. So stop. I ain't ask you to be my girl 'cuz I felt bad, an I did, but that ain't why I asked you."

"Then why did you ask me? I'm sorry if it seems like over analyze things but I don't want to be the one drowning in my tears because you take back wanting to be with me. I don't think I can take that." She explains honestly and looks him in his eyes.

"Semaj you are over analyzin' shit. I asked you to be my girl 'cuz I care for you and that shit is crazy and hard to say because I ain't been inna relationship for years. An the last relationship I was in she fucked me up on more levels than one so nah, I ain't playin' wit' yo emotions or nothin' like that."

"So then tell me." She whines wanting to know the complete answer. "Tell me why you're asking me right now of all times to be your girlfriend."

"Look, me goin' off on you an hurtin' yo feelin's was neva my intentions but you knew 'round here and you so fuckin naive that the shit aint even funny so knowin that you was wit who you was wit today scared me and it shocked the hell outta me cuz I was actually scared. You should know by now I don't wanna see you hurt or see you gettin caught in bullshit wit niggas who don't like me."

So maybe she was over analyzing and overreacting. In reality, Michael came to the realization that he cared extremely for her and the fact that they were only dating is what drove him to that point.

"I ain't want you to think I'm tryna control yo life or nothin like that and I ain't want you thinkin that since we only datin that I don't care 'bout yo well being because I do. You have no idea." He says mumbling the last part and shaking his head. "So do you accept or not?"

Semaj, unable to contain the excitement, smiles widely. "I'd love to be your girlfriend, Michael."

"Good, because you ain't have a choice." Michael replies shrugging before kissing Semaj on the lips. This was their first public kiss and Michael was well aware of this.
