Gone 2 Long

Antheia POV

"Keke baby. Speak to me."

"You're coming over to the boys house after work right?"

"Yeah of course. We'll be done here soon so I'll meet you there ASAP."

"Ok well how about instead of coming to the house, I'll send you the location of this nail salon I usually go too when I'm here and we can get our nails done. My treat."

"Oh my word I'd love to boo. I'll pay for dinner right after then."

"Ok but I know you're dressed all boujee in your lil dress and shit but I need you to change. Something more comfortable and suited for a night under the stars." I was a little confused at all her demands and everything she was asking of me.

"Keke what you got planned cause you sound really suspicious right now."

"Listen Austin needs my help with his date for tonight so I gotta go. I'll send the location so don't forget."

Before I could even formulate a reply, the call immediately ended leaving me utterly confused. Why the hell was she acting so weird? I decided to brush it all off and continued back into the party.

"Ok Mitch, I'll see you on Monday." I waved him off as we walked our separate ways towards our cars.

Work was finally over thus meaning my pity party was about to begin. Valentine's day for me usually consisted of me ordering a lot of take away and watching The First Time and other stupid romantic teen movies because they all remind of what I so dearly seek but shall sadly never have again because real love is nothing like it is in the movies. People lie to you and promise you the world, they cheat and pretend to be the person you want them to be but we all know it's an act... Yes I may or may not be speaking about Zion.

I know it was all a long time ago but what you guys know isn't the full story. We both vowed to leave certain incidents out of our break up story in order to protect not only Zion but me as well, there's just some shit that has to stay confidential.

As I was driving down the highway enroute back to my house, I looked down at my watch and realized I still had an hour before my date with Kekeli. Upon realization, I made a swift off ramp and headed towards the mall. Not only was I in need of new underwear but I was thinking of buying the boys a few gifts as well.

I was strolling through the mall with a huge cart filled with shoe boxes and multiple shopping bags... I may have gotten a little carried away with gifts for the boys. I ended up buying sneakers for literally everyone including the Jack's, Sam, Rupp and even Elom. I didn't forget my girls though because I bought lingerie from Victoria's secret as well as sleepwear for both Stassie and Kekeli. They were my people, I had to spoil them.

I was on my way out of the mall, heading towards the PRETTYMUCH house when Kekeli sent me the location. I figured because she was there, I'd just go there, get changed and we could leave together. I was already running late so lil mama had to put that thing into overdrive. Within a good 25 minutes, I was pulling up into the driveway which was occupied by a mysterious black pick up truck. I ignored the truck and grabbed the gift bags as well as my kit bag with my change of clothes. As I reached the door, I was about to open it up but luck was on my side and Austin opened up, holding a rather large plastic bag, he immediately went wide eyed and shut the door once again. All I could hear was hushed yelling between what seemed to be 3 individuals and after what felt to be an eternity, Zion came and opened the door. A small smile immediately painted itself across my face but it was soon overridden by the sight of Austin running up the stairs with the same large plastic bag. Zion followed my eyes and brushed the strange situation with a nervous laugh.
