They Dont Know: Runaway Love

Chapter 11

*Chris POV*

"I cannot believe this" Ryan complained while in the backyard with me

"Ryan"

"Zonnique though Chris. You could've picked anybody else in the damn school and you pick her" She said as she rolled her eyes. "And then she not even here yet. How you the host and not here for your own shit?" She asked as she shook her head

"I'm not so worried about her even coming. I'm really waiting for Aaliyah" I said

"You really like this girl," She said

"I do. I just want to talk to her and make sure she's good" I said

Ryan seemed hesitant to say something. She shook her head and went back inside. Most likely she knows something I don't and Aaliyah doesn't like her shit being told so I'll respect it until she says something. That's if she does.

I went back inside too and saw Zonnique in the living room. She came over to me and gave me a hug and dragged me to the floor. Rich and Ryan sat on the floor as well.

"Thanks for coming y'all. Chris thought it'd be best to bring y'all as well. I don't want any drama tonight. I know Ryan here isn't a fan and neither am I but let's just have a good night okay. Are y'all spending the night too?" She asked

"Spending the night?" Ryan asked as she faced me.

"Yeah like a sleepover. Duh. That was the original plan" Zonnique said

"Bet not let Stella find out bout this shit Chris. Getting a little too comfortable. Friendly advice, Stella doesn't like people she doesn't know in her house so" Ryan said as she sipped on her drink and turned away. "But to answer your question. No, we're not. Just here for a little bit" She said

Zonnique rolled her eyes and got the Uno cards. This was going to be a long night.

We played for an hour. When I say this was the most awkward and shadiest night I've been through. Whenever I say never again, never again. Zonnique was pissing me off even more. She's been speaking on us like we're together and we're not. Honestly rethinking her quote on quote sleepover tonight because she doing the most.

Zonnique got up and went to the kitchen to put trash in the trash can. Rich and Ryan were fixing to leave and still no sign of Aaliyah. Before they left, Rich had pulled me to the side.

"I talked to her ight. Just give her time. Ight"

"Is she good?" I asked him

"Something you need to ask her. She'll come around. In the meantime, don't let that girl in there back in here. I just got this weird vibe from her. As if she not making this shit obvious. She talking like yall together or some shit" He said

"Yeah, I caught on to that too. I already told shawty I'm not into her."

"She one of those psycho bitches then. Be careful with that my boy. I'm bout to dip" He said as he dapped me up and left with Ryan.

After they left, I decided to go upstairs and prepare myself for bed. I told Zonnique she could sleep in Stella's bed. She frowned but did it anyway. I lay in bed and just stared at the ceiling. I couldn't get this girl out of my head. She's really the sweetest girl yet she got a lot of shit pinning her down. I just wish I could help or something. Maybe I'll go by Rich's spot tomorrow and try something. Make no sense why I can't stop thinking about this girl.

I dozed off to sleep. I felt something touching me though. I knew it was bed bugs because it felt like a whole hand. Better be no damn bed bugs. I wash my sheets and clean. I opened my eyes to see Zonnique over me rubbing my shoulders. I sat up and just looked at her. She barely had clothes on. Just a shirt and a bra. I turned on my lamp light and just lay there.
