Landon☺️ would like to FaceTime...
I smiled and pressed the accept button and Landon's face popped up close to the camera.
I laughed. "Back up you dweeb."
"Maybe I like being this close." He stuck out his tongue.
"You're stubborn, you know that?" I rolled my eyes, setting my camera up as I continued working on the sketch I was doing.
"You're not wrong." He chuckled and finally set the camera up on his desk as he spun around in his office chair.
I laughed and focused on my drawing.
"Whatcha drawing?" He asked after a moment of silence.
"A thick ass naked bitch." I replied.
"You're bogus." He laughed loudly.
"What's bogus is you think I'm joking." I laughed and spun the drawing around to face him, revealing, well, a thick ass naked bitch. His eyes widened. "It's a drawing so dont cream your pants."
He rolled his eyes and laughed as I continued shading in around my drawings waist. "So I have a question. Two actually."
"Should I be scared?" I looked at him.
"No." He smiled. "Okay first of all, there's a party tomorrow and I was wondering if you wanted to come?"
"On a school night?" I asked.
He rolled his eyes. "Damn bro I wish you would drop out." He joked.
"I'm probably going to." I said plainly.
"Why?"
"Because I just wanna be a tattoo artist, I'm plenty smart. I'll just take the GED test."
He shrugged. "Whatever you wanna do is cool with me. And second question..."
"You sound more unsure of this one." I groaned.
He stayed silent for a second. "Are you feeling Skies?"
I took a deep breath and set down my pencil, thinking for a moment. "I don't know honestly. I guess I don't know him well enough. Plus it's not like he ever reaches out to me or tries to talk to me, the only time I ever talk to him is on my Instagram comments or when you invite me to go somewhere with y'all. Like even if I did he wouldn't care."
"I see." He said biting his nail.
"I'm not tryna put any effort into a nigga who won't put in work for me." I stated. "So who knows if I'll ever feel him."
"I got you, I just figured I would ask because there's obviously sparks when you're both together." He chuckled.
"I don't know about sparks."
"Fine, I see a connection." He rephrased.
I shrugged. "I guess." The mood had gotten a bit more somber.
"Hold up, Skies is calling me, I'll call you back tonight alright?"
"Sounds good. See ya, Landon." I said.
"See ya." He smiled and hung up.
(Landon's a sneaky ass liar saying Skies was calling him smh)
Skies POV:
Landon💯 would like to FaceTime...
I pressed the green accept button and set my phone up on my side table as I continued to pre-roll backwoods.
"Whaddup bro." I said, concentrating on rolling another pearled blunt.
"You're heavy fucking up." He said with a straight face.
"Nigga my backwood looks fine the fuck you talking bou-" I started before I was cut off.
"No dumbass, you're fucking up whatever you think you have with Kehlani." He rolled his eyes.
"Damn you got attitude. I think we're vibing hella."
"Yeah, and according to her you never speak to her or put any effort in so she says she's not gonna bother trying with your ass." He said.
"Bro, we just met just give me some time." I told him. "I'm hella into her, but I wanna do shit right."
"All I'm saying is you could at least text her or some shit so y'all can get closer. She's not the type to wait around for people to care."
"Oh really, and how would you know so much about her didn't you like just meet her too, smartass ?" I said cocky as hell.
"Because I call her everyday and text her constantly. I invite her to shit and go out of my way to make sure she's straight." He said.
"Well shit, sounds like you tryna get with her." I replied.
"No, I'm not. I treat her that way because she's lowkey a super broken person, she just puts up a front. And she needs somebody, so I want to be there for her. I do the same shit for you."
Damn, I hate when he's right. I sat there thinking for a moment as I licked along the edge of the backwood and sealed it.
I sighed. "Bro, you know I don't catch feelings for bitches, I chase the bag not the bitch."
"Your point?" He retorted.
"My point is, being attracted to a female is easy. But once feelings are involved, it fucks shit up for me. I never know how to act because that shit lowkey terrifies me. I don't like the feeling of fear." I began to pack another blunt. "I also don't like even admitting I have feelings for anyone, makes me feel like a fruity ass nigga."
"Because you're lowkey a fruity ass nigga, you just always acting stupid as fuck." He laughed.
"Fuck you." I chuckled.
"For real though homie, I ain't ever seen you look at a girl like that. Ever. Not even your ex girlfriend." Landon said seriously. "I think y'all are starting one of those real connections."
I shrugged. "I just don't know what to do about it. I don't know if I even should. Falling for someone always causes issues."
"What do you mean?" He asked.
"I'm not trying to get my heart broken or be made to look like a fool."
"Kehlani isn't just some average girl, bro. She's for real different."
"Different or not, I'm not trying to have my heart broken, and she's too perfect to be broken by me. Maybe it's just better this way." I mumbled the last bit attempting to convince myself.
Landon sighed on the other side of the line. "Do whatever man, I just want you to be happy."
"Love you, brother." I said.
"Love you too, homie. I'll see you tomorrow for that party."
"For sure." I replied as he hung up the phone.
