Object of Desire [Editing]

Chapter 7

Remy A. Taylor

"I'm leaving for school now, love. You'll be okay here by yourself, right?" Dayvid asked me and I nodded, laying in his bed.

After my night with August I'd come directly here and even though he was mad I'd awakened him, he welcomed me into his home with open arms.

Unlike me, as soon as he'd become of age, Dayvid had moved out of his parents house. His relationship with them wasn't the best so when the opportunity to leave came up, he took it.

He planted a kiss on my forehead before leaving and I sat back, looking at the ceiling.

I got up to take a shower and studied my own body. I held my breasts up in my hands before turning and examining my butt.

My size was always something I'd been slightly insecure about but it had gotten worse suddenly.

Whether people were being playful about it or not, calling me a stick and making small comments about how skinny I was annoyed me.

Girls and boys alike would say I didn't have a fat ass and that I was lucky I had big boobs because if I didn't, I would never get a man.

I mean I personally knew all about how immature and simple minded people could be but the shit did hurt my feelings, even if I didn't want to admit it.

No matter how much I ate, I didn't gain weight. And then when I did gain some kind of weight, my anxiety would make me not want to eat at all.

I sighed before finishing up in the shower and getting out just as my phone began to ring.

"Hello?"

"Wassam, is dis Remy?"

I recognized August and his strong accent, "Who askin'?"

He laughed, "Ya know who dis is guh. What you got goin ta'day? Wait, you suspended, so Ima assume nothin'."

"Nah me and my boyfriend going out today."

"Boyfriend?" He sounded disappointed and I laughed.

"I'm kidding. I don't have a boyfriend, Aug."

"Oh, aight. I knew dat. I was gon beat him up anyway. Send me dat address, I'm comin' ta get ya."

Before I could even accept or decline he hung up and I made a face before changing into my outfit for the day.
