Miami Heat

Chapter Five: Secrets

"We need to go!", he yelled. Cairo grabbed me by my arm.

"Wait, no!", I started, "I'm sleeping at Selenia's tonight. He sighed. "I'll drive you, then." We both ran to his car. The police and the paramedics had came.

"Get in!", Cairo snapped, starting the engine. I got in, and he started driving.

"Did you enjoy yourself?", he asked.

"Yea, but there was this crazy bitch that suckerpunched me.", I replied. Cairo was silent, and kept his eyes on the road. I could tell something was up. "Um, do you know her?", I asked.

"Uhh, yea..she's my girlfriend."

"WHAT?!"

"Yea." Cairo scratched the back of his head.

"And that's all you gotta say? 'Yea'?!", I yelled.

"Look, we took a break-"

"Nigga, you were flirting with me at the mall! And you never once told me you had a fucking girlfriend?!"

Cairo was getting angry. I really dont know why, he's the one that put his ass in the situation.

"I just said we took a break, didn't I?", he snapped.

Who the hell does he think he smart talkin' to?! The fuck?!

"Umm, excuse me! Do y'all go out or not?", I said, crossing my arms.

"Yea, but-"

"That's all I needed to know. Stop the damn car, I can walk from here.", I snapped.

"Ebony, we're on the high-"

"DO YOU THINK I GIVE A FUCK?! DROP ME OFF HERE!", I yelled.

"Hey, don't talk to me like that!", Cairo growled. He stopped on a street, six blocks away from Selenia's house. I got out, and started walking. Fuck him, I said to myself.

|Selenia POV|

I was looking for Ebony everywhere this stank club. I had heard there was a fight, but I was too busy hooking up with Chris, Cairo's friend. My phone started ringing.

S: Hola?

E: Hey, it's Ebony. I'm walking to your house.

S: The fuck? I thought you was here!

E: I was, but Cairo decided to drive me to your hou-

S: So y'all had sex, and when you found out he had an STD you bucked?

E: Selenia, use yo' damn brain! I wouldn't have sex with him in a damn car! And plus-

S: Yea, yea, yea!

E: Didn't you see me fight that bitch, though?

S: *gasp* That was YOU! Nahh, I didn't see. But girrrrrl, the paramedics and everybody-

E: Yea, I saw. But guess what.

S: What?

E: That bitch I beat...she's Cairo's girlfriend.

S: What the fuck?! Oh hell nawww! Oh fuckin' hell nawwww! Shit boutta go down in Miami!

E: It's okay.

S: Bitch, this shit aint okay! The hell?! I know you're trying to hide your feelings. We gone beat his ass!

E: Selenia, please come. I don't feel like walking anymore.

S: Oh, yea! I'm comin'!

I hung up.

|Ebony POV|

After what seemed like 30 minutes of walking, a car pulled up beside the sidewalk I was walking on.

Chris was driving, and Selenia was in the passenger seat. I walked towards the car, and got in the back. Selenia whipped her head around, slapping Chris in the face. I giggled.

"Ebony, we gone get this son of a puta!", she growled.

"Who she talkin' bout?", Chris asked.

"Cairo! Like, you needa fix him, or I will!", Selenia yelled.

Chris sighed and shook his head. "That's the shit I don't like about him.", he said,"but I'll talk to him for you."

"Thanks, I guess.", I replied, looking out the window. It was pitch black outside. The car immediately stopped.

"This your house, right?", Chris asked. "It sure is!", Selenia squealed, unlocking her door. I got out, waiting for Selenia to stop making out with Chris.

"Text me!", she yelled out to him.

《THE DAY AFTER (SUNDAY)》

Selenia dropped me off at my house. My dad was gonna question the hell out of me. "Thanks, bae," I said.

"And remember, chica, we gone get him!!", Selenia said. I laughed, and nodded in agreement. I walked to the door. To my surprise, Zakee swung it open.

"Where the hell were you?", he asked,"out and about sucking dick?" He snickered. I rolled my eyes.

"Yo' ass play too much. I was at Selenia's."

"EBONY!", my dad yelled from the living room.

Oh lawd, no.

I walked to the living room, to see my dad drinking a root beer, and watching Sunday football. He looked up from the tv.

"Where were you?", he asked.

"I was at Selenia's,", I repeated myself, "dont you remember?"

"Oh yes, now I remember. You had fun?", my dad asked, taking a swing of his root beer.

Don't I always have fun?", I said, going up the stairs.

《MONDAY》

I walked to my locker, accompanied by Selenia. "Where that nigga at?!", she snapped at nobody in particular. "Selenia,  calm the fuck down!", I said, grabbing my books. She gasped. I looked up to see what was going on.

Cairo was walking towards us. I groaned. Selenia was too ready! She put her hair in a ponytail.

"Where I come from, WE DON'T FUCKING PLAY!", she yelled. Cairo walked right past her, and went my way.

"Nigga, I know yo' punk ass saw me!", Selenia yelled again. Cairo ignored her, and walked up to me.

"Hey, I'm sorry about this weekend.", he said, scratching the back of his head. I rolled my eyes. "That's all you got to say?", I said impatiently.

"Well, no..", he said,"I broke up with Crystal."

"That's her name..?", I asked. "Yea, but i hope that we can still be friends", he said, getting closer to me. He smelled like Hollister. His eyes were staring right at my lips. I know what Cairo was thinking.

"DON'T DO IT EBONY!", Selenia yelled. I looked away from Cairo's eyes. "Look, I gotta go", I told him.

"Oh, okay." He looked hurt. Oh well, that's what I felt like a few days ago. I'm gonna let him deal with it for a little while, just to let him know I ain't no easy girl to play with.
