The Game of Love

Chapter 10

  Marqyse groaned as the nurse tightened the ice around both of his calves. He's been in here almost a full week now and once they got his temperature back to normal he was ordered to stay a few more days for his legs. When he fell he tore his ACL just a little bit which should only take about a month and a half to fully recover.

"Baby? " His voice was dry and honestly this is one of the few times he spoke this week.

"Yes? "

"Come here.."

I leaned over him and and fixed his gown.

"Yes baby? "

"You know I love you..I'm so thankful for you. " He wanted to cry so bad but that pride of his wouldn't let him.

I giggled, "And I love you too baby

"

He pulled my hand to his lips and pressed against it lightly.

A nurse behind us cleared her throat, "um, you have some visitors ".

"Wassup man " Kameron, Joey and Ronnie all walked in like they was witnessing a car crash. Joey looked around the small room and shook his head while kameron made a joke about Marqyse being in a hospital dress and of course Ronnie was just silent.

"Sup "

"Damn boy you broke your throat too? Sound like you got bronchitis in this bitch."

"Watch your language Ronnie "

"Sorry pastor Washington .." Everybody giggled and I let this joke slide only because I'm horrible at comebacks and roasting people as the boys do every single day.

"Chill on my lady.." Marqyse pulled himself up making sure not to wiggle out of the ice packs around his calves. "So what brought y'all here today? "

"We had to come check up on you man. You the homie." Everybody chuckled and we enjoyed the few hours of company.

It was nice to see Marqyse up and laughing with his boys. They picked on him a bit but there was no seriousness to it.

A few minutes after the guys left we were told he would be discharged the next morning.

I gathered up his things and made sure everything was neat and tidy as he slept. Once everything was good I prayed for a couple minutes and laid back in the chair only to be awaken seconds later by a constantly vibrating phone. I groaned and checked my phone.

It wasn't mines.

I got up and looked for Marqyse's phone before realizing that it was on the window seal charging..and vibrating.

There was quite a few messages from an unsaved number. Usually I'd leave it alone, but the fact that it was going on 2 am and his parents wouldn't text from an unknown number left me curious.

I put in his code and scrolled through the messages.

Unsaved #: baby? I heard you were hurt, are you okay?

Unsaved #: can I come visit you, ill come when your boo isn't there, promise to stay out of sight *wink wink

"what in Jesus name is this " I whispered and continued to scroll, already seeing enough to walk out the door right now. As I scrolled a new text popped up.

Unsaved #: ok..why haven't you replied yet?

I could reply and figure out who this girl is but I've really already seen enough.

I wiped the few tears that fell, set his phone up where the screen wont black out , grabbed my things and walked out the room.

I don't know much about what just happened but it was enough to prove I should have just stuck to church and the books.

As I unlocked my car door I heard my name being called and turned around to see a small petite girl.

"I'm sorry but I don't want to talk to anyone right now"

"Listen, I've seen you around campus a couple of times and I think your built perfectly for a cheerleader " she pulled out a pamphlet "If you're interested in it..tryouts are in a few weeks."

"All this sounds great and all but I really need to get back to my dorm."

"Understood just promise to think about it okay, I'd really like to call you my cheer sister " she squealed only reminding me of how down I actually was at the moment.

"Cool."

And with that being said I got in my car and drove back to my dorm in a silent car. Everything flew through my mind and I couldn't handle it. First person I give my heart out to and I'm hit with this. I pray to God this is all a misunderstanding.
