Cold War

"Why the hell did I come home to an empty house?" Diana snapped as Aria and Amontae both sat in the living room. They has just got out of school and Diana was waiting on them.

Diana was mad at them. She expected them to be home at around ten o'clock when she got off work. She had her hands on her hips and stood up looking at them.

Aria was staring at the ground. Amontae was busy on his phone. Diana looked at Aria and noticed marks on her neck. She then knew where Aria was, at Anthony's house.

"Aria where were you?" Diana asked. She wanted to see if Aria was going to lie.

"I-I was at B-Brittany's house." Aria stuttered looking at the ground.

"So what's that on your neck?" Diana asked.

Amontae then looked up from his phone and looked at Aria's neck. He squinted his eyes because he thought he was tripping. He was hoping Aria wasn't having sex with Anthony.

"I got hit w-"

"Stop lying, you and that Anthony boy been fucking? You was walking funny this morning." Diana said bluntly.

Aria began to become nervous and looked everywhere but at Diana. Amontae just stared at Aria's neck. Those were indeed hickeys on her neck and he just couldn't stop looking at them.

"No, look we just made out and I went to Brittany's house after." Aria said nervously. She could still feel Amontae looking at her.

"Mhm, I'll talk to you later. Amontae where were you? With your knuckle headed friend?" Diana asked.

Amontae chuckled at Diana.

"Nah, I was at Winter's house. She wanted me to stay with her." Amontae lied smoothly.

Diana didn't believe neither of them. She just shook her head and walked out of the living room. She was tired of dealing with teenagers.

Aria still stared at the floor. Amontae was still looking at her.

"You was at Anthony's house last night?" Amontae asked.

Aria let out a deep sigh.

"Yeah." Aria said with disappointment in her voice.

"What did y'all do? Y'all didn't ha-"

"No Amontae, all we did was kiss a little and watch movies." Aria lied.

"As in kissing, you mean suck on each other's neck? Aria I don't want you to be around him by yourself. One day y'all might go too far and you will regret it later." Amontae said.

Aria could feel herself get emotional. She already regretted having sex with Anthony, because she was pregnant. She wanted to tell Amontae but she was scared.

"Yeah whatever, I can control myself." Aria said swallowing the lump in her throat. Her hormones were starting to act up.

"You know what Aria, just do what you want. Don't ever say I didn't warn you." Amontae said before getting up and leaving.

Aria just sat there looking at ground. Amontae warned her about boys before she started dating Anthony and now she was realizing what he meant.

"I seen that pussy ass nigga Raymond today. He been trying to hide since that day he jumped me, but imma beat his ass when I see him tomorrow." Trey said.

Trey, Amontae, and Kairo were sitting at the park having a conversation. It was about six and the sun was starting to set.

"How about we pull up on him?" Kairo said tapping on his phone.
