Not Over You

• 11

After Tre left, I made my way upstairs and took a long, hot shower before getting dressed in some shorts and a big T-shirt. I hummed to myself softly as I made up my bed and straightened up my room.

"So that's the game we playing now huh?"

I sighed, not even turning around to acknowledge Keith. Yes, me and him were in a weird situationship, but I was still single and I wasn't ready to take it to that level with him yet.

I could feel his eyes burning a hole in my back, and I continued to clean as if I'd heard nothing.

"You know what? Why am I even stressing it? It's not like you're gonna take me serious anyway." He edged on, waiting to get a reaction out of me.

"Even when the sky comes fallin'
Even when the sun don't shine..." I sang then hummed the rest of one of my favorite songs. I almost laughed out loud at how visually upset Keith was.

I suddenly felt myself being pinned up against the wall, and I gasped a bit, shocked at his boldness.

"Have you lost your-"

"Stop fucking playing with me." He said through gritted teeth. I found it cute that he thought that would scare me, and I couldn't stop the smirk from forming on my face.

"Keith. We are not in a relationship. You're acting a bit possessive don't you think?" I calmly said, slipping from under his arm that was on the wall and walking over to my bed and taking a seat.

"Possessive? I'm simply claiming what's mine."

"I don't belong to you."

"What was that anyway? Are you trying to upset me? Because you did a hell of a job." He scoffed, pacing the floor in front of me.

"Tre and I are just friends. We just met today! Gosh."

"I saw the way y'all were looking at each other. I don't like that nigga."

"You don't have to."

He looked at me, a surprised expression on his face.

"So all that shit we said to each other the other day... just thrown out the window huh? I'm not even gon stunt, Lo. This shit hurt."

I suddenly felt bad that I toyed with his feelings like that.

"Keith, I didn't mean to make you feel a certain way. You just have to realize that I'm still single and I will do as I please. Just because we confessed that we missed each other..."

"The kisses didn't mean shit either huh?"

"I'm not saying that.."

"Well what exactly are you saying Lo?" I jumped a little at his voice, which was loud with anger by now.

"Nothing.." I looked down, mumbling.

"Look, I don't know about you, but I'm serious about this. If you're just going to play with me, then let me know. I'll go find another one of these hoes around here to fuck on.."

My head jerked back at his choice of words,and I couldn't help but feel some type of way.

"Well maybe you should." I shot back, folding my arms.

"Yea maybe I should..." he chuckled sarcastically,then walked over to me. He sat down next to me then pulled me in his lap.

"But that's not what I want to do. I want to be with you." His face snuggled into the crook of my neck, and he placed small kisses there, making me giggle.
