A Perfect Storm

13

Storm laid in her bed staring at the ceiling. Her night with D'Angelo replayed over & over again in her head.

It was the first time in a long time where they had just enjoyed each other's company. No bullshit, no drama, just them. And that was all she had ever wanted with him.

That night had made her feel different. Especially with the way he had made love to her...

Storm scoffed as she sat up.

Made love? Yeah right. This wasn't Boyz II Men.

He hadn't made love to her. What type of hood nigga makes love?

"Apparently D'Angelo..." Storm said to herself. Then she shook her head. That wasn't making love. It was just slow, passionate sex that made her feel a way she hadn't felt in a long time.

A way she hadn't felt since she & Malik were in a relationship.

Her focus instantly shifted from her night with D'Angelo to Malik. She still hadn't heard from him. And she missed him. So, she decided to be the bigger person. Storm grabbed her phone & went to their messages. Her fingers hovered over the keyboard.

She didn't know what to say. He was mad as hell last time she had seen him, which was probably why she still hadn't heard from him.

S: Hey...

She exited out of her messages going to Twitter. No harm in starting off with 'hey'.

Malik was dying of laughter watching 'Step Brothers' in Tremaine's basement when his phone vibrated. He continued laughing along with his friends as he picked up his phone, looking at his notifications.

He had snaps, texts from other friends, and at the top, a text from Storm.

His laughter started to die as he opened the message. Seeing what she said made him smack his lips.

He hadn't heard from her after the beach and all she had to say was hey?

M: Wassup.

Then he locked his phone, putting his focus back on the tv. Not even a minute later, his phone vibrated again. He grabbed it.

S: Nothing. Just haven't heard from you in a minute

Another message popped up.

S: I miss you.

Malik sighed. He wanted to have one damn night when his focus was not on Storm. Apparently, that was not going to be the night.

M: I miss you too.

S: I wanna see you.

Really? She had just gotten done with D'Angelo not even an hour ago and she was trying to see Malik. She didn't care though. She really missed him.

Malik was taking a long time to reply to her, so she texted him again.

S: Tonight.

Malik didn't know if he wanted to see her then.

M: I'm at Tremaine's house.

S: Alright omw.

He told her that to say he didn't really want to see her then, but he knew she was on the way & there was no stopping her. He closed his phone & focused back on the tv for the time being.

20 minutes later, his phone vibrated.

S: I'm outside.

He stood up & instantly everybody looked at him.
