Angel
It's been a week since Jayda has been out of the hospital and she currently hates us. We decided to watch her for the next week so everyone has had a shift.
"Look I love you guys I really do, but this is so unnecessary." Jayda said as Trevon and I sat in the room talking.
"How about I leave, so you don't feel like you're being watched only spending time with your boyfriend." I suggested giving her a sarcastic smile.
"How much longer are you guys keeping this up?" She whined.
"Today's the last day baby." He spoke to her pulling her into a hug and kissing her cheeks.
"Damn give me five minutes." I interrupted them rolling my eyes. I went to the bathroom and changed into some workout clothes. I grabbed my phone and bag before blowing Jayda a kiss.
I left the dorm and made my way to the athletic training center. The campus alone has 3 different gyms. There's one on the north side, then there's one on the south side, finally it's the athletic one on the east where you can only get in if you play a sport.
"Angel, what's up girl?" Kenny, a boy I sometimes workout with, said.
"Hey Ken." I waved at him as I swiped my card.
"You tryna work out together?" He asked and I thought about it.
"Yea sure why not. Today's my leg day so deadlifts, squats, and lungs." I told him and started stretching.
We warmed up with a light job before going to the weights. The workout was mostly filled with goofy conversations about life and how it truly started.
"Think about it though, what made them name a chair...a chair. Like what is a chair really?" He spoke as I added weights to the bar for my squats.
"Kenny shut the fuck up. Damn you sound dumb as hell." I said laughing my ass off.
"You can squat this? You sure this isn't your max?" He stopped playing around for a second.
"Yea. This 185. My max is 215." I told him preparing to squat.
"Hold up shawty. Let me spot you." He said sliding behind me. "How many you doing?"
"2 sets of 10" I said and then we started squatting.
"Damn." I heard him mumble but I paid him no mind. I took a 30 second break and got right back into it.
"Don't forget to breathe." I heard him say as his hands were gently rested on my hips.
"You a lot stronger than you look." He said after helping me put the bar back.
"Oh trust me I know everybody always wanna underestimate me." I said my nose turning up at the thought.
"Angel come here." I heard from behind me. I turned around and Dontae stood there leaning on the counter with his arms crossed. He did not look happy.
"Put your weights so we can finish. I'll be right back." I told Kenny before walking over to Dontae.
"I thought you were taking a test." I questioned once I was standing arms length away from him.
"Yea I'm done. What is this?" He asked showing me his phone.
There were 3 different videos of Kenny and I. The first one was at the beginning during our warmup and we decided to race. He leaned on me laying his head on my lap. The second video was when he was telling me my form for my deadlift was wrong. So of course he was hands on and was putting me in the right position. The last video was literally made not even a minute ago with my squats.
"Well that's me...and Kenny...the boy in the video if you didn't know...working out." I spoke very slow pointing out the obvious. He looked at me and I looked at his phone. The contact name was bro with a football and laughing emoji so there's no telling who sent it. Damn opps.
"No shit Sherlock. Why is he all touchy-feely on you?" He asked stepping to me and I stood my ground.
"Nigga we working out. He's my spotter his job is to spot me." I caught a mean attitude.
"Yo everything good over here?" Kenny asked walking over to stand next to me.
"Yea I'll be back-"
"Nah nigga. I'm just tryna figure out why you got yo hands all over my girl." Dontae said and my head jerked back at the words my girl because we never discussed that.
"Last I checked she was single." Kenny said.
"Last I checked you were standing." Dontae said and before Kenny could respond he threw a quick right hook knocking him to the floor.
"What the fuck Dontae." I yelled and stopped Kenny from getting because I knew for a fact Dontae was gonna beat his ass.
"That's why yo bitch came to me." He smirked from the ground with a busted lip. I stood up quick and looked down at him.
"I ain't nobody bitch first of all. Secondly I came to you so you wouldn't get your ass pummeled. Don't get disrespectful cause we got a lil audience cause I will put you in your place with no hesitation." I snapped at him not missing a beat.
"You really bout to let this nigga dog you out like that though?" He asked and I rolled my eyes.
"This nigga is my nigga and my nigga a que so he already a dog. Thank you next." I said walking away to grab my bag and my phone. I came back and grabbed Dontae's hand pulling him out.
"Damn girl." Dontae smirked as we were walking around campus.
"Nah nigga nah. You got yo people out here watching my ass?" I asked stopping and he turned around to face me.
"Not necessarily. If they see you they look out for you and if they feel like you doin some foul shit they look at for me. Hence the videos." He shrugged and I mugged him.
"I don't need nobody nor do I want nobody. You was great in bed, but we not bout to take this no where. I got what I wanted so tell your folks to mind they business." I said brushing past him and walking to my dorm.
I know what I did was wrong. That shit was foul as hell but honestly I panicked and got scared. I don't do relationships anymore. I thought I could try with Dontae, but that whole watching thing reminded me so much of my ex I couldn't do it nor put myself through that again.
"Angie what's wrong?" Jayda asked cutting Trevon off mid sentence.
"I fucked up." I said with the pout still displayed on my face.
"What did you do now?" She sighed.
I put my bag down and told them both what popped off at the gym and what I said to Dontae.
"Angel why would you do that to him?" She sounded so disappointed in me and that only made me feel bad.
"I don't know." I mumbled looking down at my leggings.
"He dropped everyone to make something work with you babygirl. Doesn't that show you that he honestly cares for you?" She asked and I was silent.
"Fuck I gotta go apologize." I threw my head back with my eyes closed. I pulled my phone out to call him but it went straight to voicemail.
"Where are you going?" Jayda asked as I was grabbing clothes.
"To shower"
"You don't have time to shower." She said shanking her head.
"Oh sweetie you always have time for a shower." I said before taking off.
