Love Me For Me

Chapter 23

Tiffany POV

"Mama you here?" I walked in the house and threw my bag on the couch calling out for her.

"Im in the kitchen." I walked back there to see her drinking her coffee and reading one of her old Zane books.

"Hey ma."

"Hey sweetie how was school amd why you back an hour early before you guys let out?"

I sighed before answering." Andre got into a fight today."

She put her book down on the table and gave me her full attention." Are you serious. Why?"

"Because of Amari. He's this new guy I met today and I guess them two knew each other, then Andre said he wasn't friends with him annymore. Then after that the rest was history.Andre got sent home early."

"Okay and so what does that have to do with you coming home early?"

"Well they needed me in the office to tell what happened." She nodded her head motioning me to continue.

"And I told them what happened."

"So what was it that had happened?"

"Andre hit Amari first. I only told them that because I felt bad and Amari asked me too and it was true"

She put her hands on her hips shaking her head.

"So if this Amari guy askes you to have sex with him you gon do it? Huh?"

"Mommy no, why would you ask me that?"

"Well why would you stick up for some boy you don't even know. You don't know nothing about that boy but a name. Im not telling you to lie for Andre but atleast stick up for him. No telling how he gon be feeling after he find out you told on him like that. Tiffany you stick up for the ones you love and who loves you. You never turn your back on them sweetie, because you and I both know that Andre is not going nowhere unless you push him away. Sweetie I love you but I expected better." She kissed my forehead than left. I shook my head because I hated the fact how she took his side without hearing mines.

I went upstairs and started working on my homework. I checked my phone and saw I had a text from Andre and Kwan. I text Kwan first and told her everything that went down. After that she told me she would talk to me later because she had to watch her little sister. I then read Andre's.

"Can we talk please?"

I threw the phone down. I wasn't quite ready to talk to him yet. It was then ten mintues later when I got another text.

"Hey wassup Tiff. It's Amari." I looked at the screen and stared at it for a minute. I thought about ignoring it but hesitated against it.

"Hey wassup."

"Nothing just laying down. You mind if I call you?"

I hesitated but agreed anyway.

"Sure."

A minute later my phone went off. I saw that he was calling from facetime. I thought he was gonna call me as in talk on the phone but answered anyway.

"Hey."

"Wassup beautiful. What you doing?"

"Nothing, just some homework. What about you?"

"I just got out the shower. See." He held his phone out and showed his full body. He was in a towel. I looked away from the screen quickly.

"Excuse me, what are you doing. You can't just show personal stuff like that to people you just met." He laughed.

"Im sorry hun. Hold on lemme go change." I put his phone his dresser. I guess it was standing up because i could see his abs. I didn't look out of respect for Andre so I just looked down.
