HIM

Ch.5

                            (1 week later)
(Nia)

Me and Desmond haven't talked sense he left my dorm last Sunday morning. It's weird not talking to him since he my best friend but I guess me telling him that I was in love with him ran him away, which I knew was going to happen. Plus him getting that hoe Kayla pregnant is kinda the reason why I haven't called or text him any way. I mean don't get me wrong he got the right to talk to whoever he want but Kayla out of all people. He can do better and by better I mean me.

I checked the time on my phone it was 3:57 and I had to be at work at 4:30. I work at zumiez in the mall downtown not to far from campus. I had just left my last class for today so I head to my car making my way to work. When I got there my boss was already on bullshit.

"Hey Nia you see all those boxes full off shirts" He said pointing at them.

"Yeah" I said.

" Well I need you to sort them out"He said. Mind you I didn't even clock in yet. Once I got situated and clocked in I started sorting the shirts out. When I see customers I stop and see if they need help looking for anything and if they want to buy something I would cash them out at the register. I only work at this job because I get a discount on clothes and I love the clothes here. After being here for two hours my boss sent me and my coworker Brian on break.

Since I work at the mall I go straight to the food court and get a slice of pizza and a sprite from sabaro. I sat down at one of the tables and  started to scroll on instagram. I seen Des posted a selfie I didn't like it but I read the comments and the one that stood out was Kayla who comment baby daddy with the tongue out emoji. This bitch irritate me so bad.

"Hey you mind if I sit with you" my coworker Brian said with a bright smile.Brian was cute he was darkskin with wave and had pretty teeth and he knew how to dress.

"No go head" I said. He sat down across from me and started eating his food. We had little conversation about our job and how our boss be blowing our shit.Then he starting asking questions.

"Can I ask you something"Brian said. Here we go...I already know he about to ask if I got a boyfriend or some shit.

"Do you have a boyfriend" He asked.I knew he was gone say that. Usually when dudes ask me do I have a boyfriend I lie and say yeah because I was too stuck on Desmond hoping we would end up together. Now I realize why the fuck am I chasing after a nigga that don't feel the same way about me. Brian is a cool dude so I told him the truth.

"Nope I'm single"I said wiping my hands with my napkin.He started to smile and honestly he cute as fuck.

" Why though you so beautiful"He said. I felt my face getting hot so I knew I was blushing. People really don't be telling me I'm beautiful and sometimes I feel like I'm not and that's why Des only like me as friend.

" I'm really not looking for anything serious right now I'm just focus on my self" I said. It's hard trying to find someone who actually wants to be with me and not just for sex. Plus I'm a nineteen year old virgin and I'm not embarrassed about. I want my first to be with someone I can trust with my body.

" Ahh okay I respect that"He said nodding his head. We checked the time and our break was over so we headed back to work. Time flew and it was time for me to clock out. Since I was the last person here I had to close so I made sure everything looked okay and pull down the door and locked it. I went to my car and made my way to my dorm.

As I pulled into my dorm parking lot I see Des car but no Des. I made my way to my room and all I see is him standing by the door. I forgot he knew what time I get off work. I just wanna know why he was here.

"Wassup"he said.

"Hi Stranger" I said while unlocking my door. I walk in first than he followed. " You ever heard of calling before popping up at somebody door that you haven't talk to in a week"? I asked sarcastically.

" That's why I'm here to apologize"He said plopping on my couch. Niggas get way too comfortable. " I miss my best friend"He said looking at me.

" Yeah right"I said. If he missed me he
would've called or texted me.

"You don't think I missed you" He said staring at me. I didn't say nothing back I just went in my room and got into some night clothes and hopped in my bed with my phone. Des came in my room after he realize I wasnt going back in the living room.

"You wrong as fuck for leaving me like that"He said standing in the door looking stupid. I busted out laughing because I thought he would've left but he really waited.

"Oh that's funny"He said. Then he came and sat at the edge my bed. What do he really want?

"Ummm...what you doing"? I asked

"Nothing"he said laid back on bed. "I can't be here no more? He asked.

"No I never said you couldn't be here I just wanna know why you decided to pop up today when I haven't seen or talk to you in a week"I said. Him saying he missed me wasn't enough.

He sighed. "I'm going through some stuff right now and I need you"He said looking at me. He need me?

"Nia I know how you feel about me and I feel the same way about you... I just want you to know that"He said. I didn't have anything to say because I was shooked. We was just staring at each other neither one of us speaking. I got up and went in front of the mirror to go tie my scarf around my head and think about what I was going to say to him but nothing was popping up. As I was standing in the mirror he comes behind me and wraps his arms around my waist.

I wanted this for so long now it's happening. I turn around so I can face him. We stare into each other eyes then are faces get closer and closer until our lips connected. We kissed in sync. It felt like everything from the world disappeared and it was just me and him.
