Chapter 6- You Seen Him?🤨🧐

Zavier after puberty or whatever lol.

Makyah

We'd all stumbled out back to chill in the pool, in my backyard, as we talked and drank. It was Friday night and we'd earned ourselves a girls night-- especially Cedes.

Who speaking of, was way past the point of no return for the night. I shook my head, she'd always been the one in our group to drink just enough to put any normal person in a coma. And honestly, till this day, Mani and I had no idea how she was able to do anything after consuming so much alcohol.

Because of her state, Mani and I were keeping a close ass eye on her to make sure she didn't fuck around and drown herself.

"Ooh gurl, I heard Zaiver back in town. You seen him yet?"

Mani snapped her head towards my direction, a look of pure surprise plastered on her face, "For real?" she asked. I nodded, "Yea, he be coming over sometimes to chil-"

"Oooh, How Leak feel bout that?" I rolled my eyes. I swam over to Cedes, grabbing her drink from her before she could take another sip, "Heyy, I was boutta drink that," she scowled.

I threw her drink back, swallowing before I reassumed my original spot up against the edge, "Leak came back from work and started tripping when he saw us in the living room together sleep on different couches, so I put him in check."

Cedes shook her head, humming disapprovingly while Mani sighed, " I see where he coming from," she started the "r" in "from" rolling a little more than usual. "Wouldn't you be madd, you came home and some chick just shilling with him, though?"

There were things that I still hadn't worked up the nerve to tell them-- about Maliks' and I's relationship, but either way, I got her point, "Mani, I get that I do, but forreal, forreal I introduced them the first night he came back. I'm not saying it as an excuse but Zai isn't a random case."

"Gurl, I say fuck that nigga, Leak. If a nigga acting insecure just cause it's another nigga around his girl then that means two things--" she hiccuped.

"Either he knows his girl a hoe-- which you ain't or he knows he ain't doing something right with his girl-- Speaking of, when the last time you threw that ass back at him?" Cedes smirked and I rolled my eyes at her question.

It was just like Cedes to say something real and then ruin it by saying something childish, but I laughed anyway, "You dumb stupid."

"Yea, but you still ain't answer the question." She crossed her arms across her chest suspiciously, a perfectly shaped eyebrow raised.

I rolled my eyes, "It's been a minute now... I ain't been feeling him lately."

She suddenly jumped up, water splashed everywhere, "See that nigga think Zaiver trynna get withchu. Yall would look cute togethe-"

Mani started to nod while I shook my head at them, "See there yall niggas go, trynna set me up with anybody, bye."

Mani spoke up, "Zaiver was finee in High school. I don't know why yall never dated-"

"Maybe it's cause they was getting it in before we all met," Cedes suggested wriggling her eyebrows at me, causing me to scoff, "Cedes bye. This conversation right here-" I said, pointing between us three. "This right here is over cause yall imagination just acting the fuck up."

I was just pulling myself out of the pool after helping Cedes out, "Ayye, wassup ladies? If I knew yall was having a party I woulda been got off work," Zai smirked.

Cedes drunk ass was first to speak, "Myka, who dis?" she slurred causing Zai to pout, "Now that's fucked up Mercedes."

"Yea, who's this?" Mani questioned.

"Zaiver," I replied sharply. "You drunk ass bitches is nosey, Mani you sharing a room with Cedes tonight or na-" I was in the middle of asking.

"Damn, Myka. You ain't tell us Zaiver went from fine to meals-- nah buffet since high school."

I shook my head when Cedes almost tripped on her own two feet. Zaiver grinned at the compliment, "See, this why I've always fucked with you Mercy." He pointed at her while he looked at me, "Dis my real best friend right here, you just the side bestie."

She grinned childishly at me, making me roll my eyes, "Oh, shut up."

I walked over to Cedes putting my arm around her waist so that I could guide her into the house and up the stairs, but I stopped in my tracks suddenly alarmed, "Zai, where Mani go?"

When I looked over at him he was eyeing me, so I scrunched my face repeating the same question, "She said something bout being--" He put his fingers up in quotes. "'Hungry, hungry'." I huffed.

I'm too damn tipsy to be watching these girls.

"Can you please go find her and bring her upstairs? She not that drunk but still..," I trailed off my voice full of worry, he nodded, heading into the house and disappearing into the darkness while Cedes and I were left behind taking baby steps.

"I know you seen Zaiver eyeing you," Cedes mumbled.

I scoffed, "He just trynna find something to roast me for." Cedes was weird when she was drunk, she was already sans filter sober, but when she was drunk it was like she observed every single thing that went on around her. Even if she was a mess drunk, her mind definitely wasn't.

"Yea, you keep tellin yaself that," she responded, magically gaining her balance, walking into the house by herself, and up the stairs. I shook my head.
