Part 11: "You're lying hope."

"You gonna get in?" " Yeah sure I'm gonna unlock it with my finger." I responded with sarcasm. A small smirk formed on Chris face. God He was so fine!! Chris was around 6,3 with brown smooth skin and a head full of waves.A baby face with a perfect smile and dimples and that cologne lord! No lie the sight of him sometimes made my hormones rage. He was wrapped in a black nike jogging suit. "I'm not the only one who changed." Chris blurted. I slid my way in on the passenger side. "And what that supposed to mean?" I tried to ignore the fact that his car reaped of weed .My assumption is he either smoked or sell and by the guys he hung ,with the answer is sell." But I wasn't sure. "Your mouth. You've been hanging around Tasha too much. You hungry? Breakfast House?." That's fine." I responded. "Don't worry I'll have you back before school is out." He added after seeing the concerned look on my face."But until we get there let's chat. I know you got questions." He cranked the car and bagged out like he was in a movie. "What's this about? You keep saying im marked? A day ago you just basically said I was nothing to you." There was that smirk again "That was a front the moment I told her about my past relationships she was offensive about you. I said whatever to get her to leave me alone about you..next?" "You must have said something good about me to get her to be that offensive!" "some like that." he replied. "You didn't explain why you keep saying im marked!" "Dickehead ,Jerome, Rapheal and Marcus..' finally a name for the two bodyguards' "They tend to like what I like that's why I marked you.. It's a respect thing you're off limits." He took his eyes off the road examining me. "But Briana not? she's for your whole crew. that's what dickhead said! and you're okay with that?" We pulled into the parking lot of breakfast house he put the car in park and looked to me once again. "The love I have for you ,she will never get it. Is that enough for you! She's a toy! Don't be insecure Hope." We both got out and headed towards the entrance of breakfast house. we use to come here a lot when we were freshmans at Watson but by the looks I can tell they had a lot of new staff , the vibe will never be the same. "My turn for questions don't you think?" We slid in a nearby booth and waited for the attention of a waitress "How everyone been?" "Uh everything is good everybody is good I said trying my hardest not to make eye contact. "you're lying hope,you wouldn't have been damn near 4 miles from your place." I looked up at his intentions of noticing me lying. "It's personal I'll deal with it." "Hey welcome to breakfast house what can I get for you?" said a waitress but I noticed her. This was One of briana friends. She was a dropout. "Yeah she'll have the hashbrown and bacon melt american cheese only and use brown eggs.And I'll take the cereal trio just mix them I like them all. There was brief stare between her Chris before she walked away. Amazingly he still remembered my order. I hated the feeling of him winning me back over But I can't forget the fact that I was in love with this guy at one point of time. "You have a boyfriend?" I shrugged my shoulders at him. "I have to pee." I got up to head to the bathroom. I can feel his eyes along me as I made my way there. "hello?" "yeah bitch I've been calling you where you at?" Tash I left school to grab Breakfast with Chris." "Chris bitchhhhh!" I could tell tash smile was big as hell on the other end. "I thought ya'll didn't like each other what happened?" "Alot I'll catch you up on it! " "Before you go ,you know were back on at the joint today can I ride with you?" "Yeah I'll be back before school out just meet me at my car its parked on the east. " "Okay love chat later." I ended the call and fixed myself in the mirror so this is how I looked to Chris ? I started playing with my shirt trying to make myself look more appealing but nope I still looked plain. Growing tired of my efforts i made my way back. "Who were you talking to?" said Chris watching me before I could even sit down "I used the bathroom!" Chris digged his spoon into his bowl of cereal. "At least your food isn't cold." he gestured for me to eat "You didn't use the bathroom, You hate public restrooms or did you forget?" Damn it.  "For you not to give a fuck about me you remember a lot" I responded "I missed you" I let out a huff and pushed my plate to the side "Then why did you leave? you didn't warn me in advance you just left!" . "My mom found a job that pays her more she wears the pants, you know how she is you met her! "And you couldn't just say that Chris you're lying? "Chill out the point is I wanted to graduate from Watson with the people I grew up with, so I moved back and got an apartment you're welcomed to come. He licked his lips and looked me in my eyes .. he was so fine lord but that wasn't the answer to my question. He never answer any of my questions direct.

The day had passed and here I was back at Watson High. "Chris bipolar as fuck! I just had to say that ."said tash waiting by my car. The other day I could have sworn I was about to knock you and the freak bitch brains out?" "You still the same huh? Chris laughed. You putting on a lil weight." I paused. I didn't know how Tash was going to react. But Chris comment only helped me to believe she was pregnant "I'm eating good" she laughed. I could see Briana and Dickhead and the rest heading our way. 'not today' I thought "This the bitch you dodging my calls for and why was she in your fucking car Chris?" The smile on dickheads face widened he had to be behind it ,or the waitress. "Chill man." Chris was constantly pushing her back from his personal space "You chill! so what you fucked her and about to pass her up or you got old feelings? I don't have to go through this with you Chris one call and you dead!" Things were going down the wrong path I felt I had to intervene. "Okay let's not make death threa- "I will drag your ass hopeless." said Briana interrupting me. Briana made her way to me and there it was. Never in a million years I would see myself fighting over a boy well it wasn't intentionally just defense. We both were tussling on the ground until I was able to get on top and damn near pound her head in. Tash acting as a coach nearby telling me what to do. "Beat the her ass or I'm beating your ass!" she yelled I punched Briana even harder and started to choke her. "Break it up." yelled Jerome pulled me off Briana ad pushed me up against the car. "Chill." he let out. pinning my arms against the car to prevent me from hitting him, But I still tried. "let me go! I screamed like a kid being kidnapped. Tears forming in my eyes. "let her go." said tash with a taser "or Im bout to cook yo ass ! "Hope calm down. " he yelled once again. I stop struggling and relaxed. It was so uncomfortable watching his eyes lower to my chest area my boobs were almost out. Jerome licked his lips." Damn you're marked. He started shaking like he was having a seizure and fell to the ground left with Chris standing behind him. "You tased him foreal ?" "He good Chris replied stepping over him. Handing tash back her mini weapon. I'm  sorry." said Chris opening his arms up for a hug. I met him halfway. "This wasn't over you." I whispered .He laughed and hugged me tighter. I felt so secure, the safest I felt in a long time. " looks like tasha been training you he whispered back. "I guess it hoes over bros now huh?" yelled dickhead helping Briana off the ground. " If you stay off niggas dick maybe your head wouldn't be shaped like one!" Tash yelled back. Her clapback was on point once again."Ya'll go ahead Chris gestured. " We have to go to work!" I nodded at tash and we hopped in my jeeped and pulled off. "you're falling for him all over again aren't you hope?" I smile at her accuracy. " yupp!"
