Jordan POV
"Baby get up,"I kept hitting him until he woke up.
"What?"He mumbled.
"Get off the floor and straighten up baby."I told him. He had passed out for a few minutes and I got him up.
"Ion have nobody man,"He cried into my shoulder.
"Yes, you do. You have me and Colten. You have Ki and Madre. And you've got the cats and Vangi. I know that he's gon' but look at all the people that's still here baby. We are here for you."
"Promise you won't ever leave me,"He cried into my shirt some more.
"I promise you, Jeremiah Gaulden, that I'll never ever leave you. I love you Miah. I love you so so much."I reassured him. My love for Miah and his family runs deep, I mean, we've known each other since kids. I'd never turn my back on him.
And I know times are rough right now but like the good girlfriend I am, I'll stick by him and comfort him until he's doing better. This is only a rough patch but we will get through it, as a couple.
"We need to get you something to eat."I helped him up. "We gotta burry him by mama. It's what he would've wanted."he muttered.
"Okay baby."
We left the hospital and I stopped at the store to pick up a few dinner packages. I honestly don't feel like cooking tonight so this is best.
"What's up Leja?"I answered my flashing phone, placing it to my ear.
"You never come over anymore."She complained and I instantly rolled my eyes. I haven't been talking to her lately for a reason. I'm trying not to cheat on Miah anymore and she's a walking temptation that I don't need in my life.
"Because I can't."I replied, opening the door to the freezer in the aisle. I pulled out two boxes of dinner and tossed them in the basket.
"Why not? I miss you baby,"
"You forgot I have a boyfriend."I reminded her. "I don't want to remember that."She shot back. I could sense that she was rolling her eyes and becoming annoyed.
"Well,"
"But it's not like he knows you like girls—,"She started but I cut her off.
"Correction: I don't like girls, you're a small exception. And he's going through something at the moment so I want to be there for him."
"Blah blah, I'm going through something as well."She snapped.
"What could you possibly be going through?"I pushed the cart to the candy aisle and got Miah's favorite snacks.
"I'm suffering from separation anxiety."She answered. I sighed to myself.
"Don't you have other friends you can call for that?"
"No one is as sexy as you."She confessed.
"I'm sure you have someone in your call log that's missing you just as much as you miss me. Hit they line up because I'll be with my boyfriend tonight."I hung up the phone and went to self checkout.
"We gotta stop to get the cats."Miah said as soon as I got back in the car. I nodded and took the route to his parents' house.
We got the cats, their things, then walked across the street to visit Madre.
Soon as we hit the door, my phone was ringing again. I declined the call and turned the volume off. The vibrations came soon after, making my inner thighs jump. I huffed, got up and went outside to the back porch.
"Why do you keep calling me?"I spoke in annoyance.
"Because I want to talk to you."She responded.
"I told you I can't talk to you right now. You're starting to piss me off Aleja."
"Fine! Go be with your boyfriend."She hung up the phone in my face. I just shook my head and placed my phone back in my pocket, turning around to be met with Jeremiah.
"Who were you talking to?"
"My friend Aleja."I quickly covered my scared expression with the truth.
"Why you had to come outside to talk to her?"He tilted his head to the side so I knew he was not joking around. He always did that when he felt that I was doing something...
"I didn't wanna wake the baby."I lied.
"Amber ain't even here. She had to go to a follow up appointment."He caught me in the lie. Shit, I thought.
I was left there with no words, we stared at each other. He was trying to figure out what I was doing while I was trying to distract him.
"Who is she?"He finally asked.
"One of my friends."
"That's funny, I never heard you talk about her until now."
My mouth shut as we stared at each other again. I'm caught, he's done with me, I thought.
"Lemme see your phone."He came closer.
"Why do you need to see it?"I questioned, trying to buy time.
"Girl, gimme the phone."He tried to get it but I held it behind my back.
"I thought you trusted me."I backed up.
"I trust you but you acting sneaky."
"But I'm not doing anything."
"Therefor, you shouldn't be tryna hide ya phone. Give it to me."
"Miah, no."
He was about to say something until the sliding glass door opened.
"Lunch is ready and Bel said the girls will be back in ten minutes."Ki peeked his head out to look at us.
"Aight, we'll be right in."Miah told him, closing the door back. He managed to snatch the phone from me, opening it with his own fingerprint.
He went to my call log to see who I was on the phone with.
"Why does Leja have the water and heart emoji behind her name?"He asked.
"She put that there when we met at school."I lied.
"Hm."He mumbled, going to my texts.
"The fuck y'all texting each other like that for?"
"Like what?"
"Jordan, she just sent you a nude of her pussy. Just now."
"Friends do that."I shrugged, trying to play it off.
"So, she's seen your pussy too?"
"No. I'm not single to be doing that."I chuckled.
"Tell her to stop sending you shit like that."
"Okay."
"I wanna see you do it."
I mentally rolled my eyes and sent her a message telling her not to send me stuff like that.
"There."I turned the phone off completely.
"And if she do that shit again, cut her off."
"Yes sir."
"Now, let's go eat lunch."He grabbed my hand, taking me back to the kitchen so we could eat.
