Game Well Played

🏀17🏀

Monique POV :

I was sitting in Kelvin with watching him playing a few games of WWE 2K18. He promised that he would teach me to play but right now I was enjoying watching him play. We grew closer on this trip. I wanted to see what was wrong with Michael but Lewis said he would check on him. I did text him when was done. It was always just me an Michael so I feel I owe him to be the one to check on him. I am brought back to reality when I feel Kelvin shake my should.
Kelvin: your phone just vibrates
Me: thanks
Lewis: you are needed in here.
Me: what's wrong?
Lewis: come here.
I make my way to Michael room. Lewis opens the door an I walk in closing the door. The sight in front of me breaks my heart. Michael is sitting on his bed in tears. I slowly walk over to him an sit in the chair I'm assuming Lewis was sitting in. The friend that I have only seen cry just a handful of times was broken. I grabbed Michael hands in mine an gave him a small squeeze. He looked at me an tried to smile. This is the last day here an my best friend is crying.
Me: Honey what's wrong?
Michael: She..she..
Me: She who?
Michael: Dasia...
Me: is she ok?
Michael: She not coming back from....
Me: Oh I am so sorry Michael. Is she staying in Paris with her mom
Michael:....she said...
Me: baby....I need you to breathe. Now what did she say exactly

*Flashback*
Michael POV
I was standing outside the airport with Kelvin and Nique waiting for Lewis to say by to his mom. Well Nique an Kelvin were having a good ol time laughing about who knows what; my phone vibrates so when I looked at the phone I saw it was Dasia, I picked up on the third ring.
Me: hey babe. How was Christmas?
Dasia: it was great. My grandfather came from China which was a surprise at least to me because my parents knew about.
Me: that's great. Tell your mom an dad I said hello.
Dasia: I will. That is the reason I'm calling. Babe...Im not coming back.
Me: What do you mean? You still have school. You can't just....
Dasia: Babe I'm not dropping out of school, my parents agreed to hire a tutor. I mean it's only a few months left.
Me: what about us?
Dasia: I love you but I can't be away from my parents any longer. You always see your mom. I'm tired of facetime.
Me: WHAT ABOUT THE FREAKING PROM? YOU ALREADY GOT YOUR DRESS.
Dasia: I know. I'm sorry Michael. But I can't be away from my parents any longer. I love you an I always will, but right now I need my mom an dad. I hope you will understand. Please don't hate me.
Before I could say anything else she disconnected the call. Lewis had just came out the airport. He spotted me and he knew something was wrong. We hop in the car an head to the mall. Luckily Kelvin drove cause my mind was on Dasia an her never coming back. She was the only girl I actually made love to. How could she leave me like that. I understood she misses he parents but why couldn't she suck it up until after graduation. We finally arrive at the mall, I notice even with my own issues that Kelvin an Nique weren't talking. Lewis stayed back with Nique I guess to talk while Kelvin an I went inside the mall. Kelvin seemed like his normal self but I still felt something was a little off about his demeanor. We sat an talked about Christmas an what he had planned to do after his dad leaves. I told him he was always welcome to live with me an my mom an sometimes Nique. He said he will think about it. Moments later Kelvin an I see Lewis and Nique walking in laughing. Oh my gosh Monique laugh is like the most beautiful thing in this world. Whoa what am I saying. Well the mall trip was great it kinda lifted my spirits.
We finally arrived back to the cabin and I tried to call Dasia
Operator: the number you are trying to call isn't taking any calls at this time.
Me: SHIT!!!!
Operator: the number you are trying to call isn't taking any calls at this time.
I tried four more times an all calls had the same message. She blocked me.
So that brings us to Monique sitting in front of me with those beautiful brown eyes full of worry. Her hands in mine calms my nerves like it shouldn't.
*End of Flashback*

Monique POV:
After Michael told me the story I was heart broken for him. He truely loved her. All I could do was move from the chair to his side and wrap my arms around his abdomen an lay my head on his shoulder. He started to calm down. I'm so happy I have this affect on him. He looks at me an I see something glisten in his eyes. Next thru know is his face and my face are moving closer together. He kisses my cheek an man did that send dozen of butterflies in my stomach.
