That Awkward Moment

Wins and Losses

All good things must come to an end, after spending the weekend in Miami the two returned to Atlanta the following Monday for their work week ahead. When Ebony returned home after being dropped off at her apartment she sulks inside dreading not being around her boyfriend. Bear excitedly greets her at the door after not seeing her for three days panting and jumping up to reach her. She drops her luggage on the floor and crouches down to pet him happily and giggles as he licks the side of her face.

"Okay okay honey okay mommy's got to go put her stuff away and I promise I'll tell you everything that happened on my trip as soon as I settle in okay?" Ebony says, closing the door behind her and walks further inside of her apartment.

She smiles the second she sees her brother in the living room and walks over to the couch to sit next to him while he played Mortal Combat on his xBox. His eyes never leave the TV as his fingers fiddled with the remote controller but he knew his sister was home.

"Hey sis, how was Miami?" He asked.

"Oh, It was amazingggg I actually didn't think that I would enjoy myself like I did but it was so much fun."

"Uh, hu I could tell you two are all over theShadeRoom and you're also all over Bakari's page. I saw that pic of you two boo'd up on the yacht." He turns his head to look at her and notices a hickey on the side of his neck.

"Is that a hickey? What are you like 16?" He scoffs pausing the game and turns his camera on so that she could see that she had hickeys along the side of her neck.

"Shit...shit...shit." Ebony mumbles as she looks into the camera on his iPhone. "You're my little brother, why are you so pressed about hickeys?"

"What's going on between you two? 'Cause now it looks like he's not afraid to show you off and has been these past couple of days. Then you come home smelling like him and with hickeys on your neck like we're back in high school." Shameik observes, leaning back on the couch to look at her. "Don't give me no bullshit answer either what's going on between you two? I thought you were moving on."

"If I tell you, then you can't tell anyone mom doesn't even know yet-"

Shameik's eyes bulge out expecting the worse and jumps out of the chair towering over her. "You're fucking pregnant?!"

"What?! Are you fucking kidding me? NO, no hell fucking NO! Meek! We're dating!" Ebony looks at her brother and watches him fold his arms across his chest and brings his right hand to his chin as if he was thinking.

"You're fucking with me." He says in disbelief. But the look on Ebony's face gave it away that she was oh so serious about what she had just said.

"I'm SERIOUS MEEK!" She says loudly nearly startling Bear causing him to bark.

"HIM?! Out of all the niggas on this God forsaken Earth, Eb him?! That nigga doesn't even know what he wants and now all of a sudden he wants you?! How dumb could you be? You know how many nights you came into my room crying over this nigga because he said he only wanted to fuck you and you gave him that!"

"We talked things out we worked out our shit, I couldn't stay mad at him forever."

"Yeah, you could've. But you know what, just fuck me fuck my advice hu?"

Ebony looks at him in disbelief of his disapproval of their relationship.

"I took your advice into consideration and we worked things out! You could at least be happy for me but you know what? Fuck you!" Ebony gets up off of the couch, taking her luggage into her room.

"Fuck me?" His voice raises in frustration. "Fuck me hu? Next time that nigga breaks your heart don't come crying to me because my door will be closed! I don't think he's changed you're just a fucking rebound Ebony don't you see-" Shameik sighs, palming his face in frustration after she slams the door to the room, signaling the end of their argument. For now.
