His Rider

Chapter Five

I woke up the next morning feeling some type of way. I can't go another day just staying in this house all day. I had plenty of jobs, for athletic training, and recovery. I decided to call some of them up today.

"Yes hello, can I speak to Mr. Martin?"

"Speaking."

"Well good morning, my name is India Gibson, and I was calling to see if that offer was still available?"

"Ah! Yes Ms. India, I've been looking forward to your call. When can you start?"

"Monday morning is fine to me. I'll be there."

"Alright I'll be looking forward to you, have a good day."

"You too." I hung up and did my lil happy dance. I was so excited! I can't wait till my first day! I squealed with happiness. I got out the bed and took a shower. I got out, dried off, moisturized my skin and slid on my black bra and panties. I slid into my jeans, my white shirt with blue long sleeves, and my blue high top chucks. I did a waterfall braid with my braids, put on some black eyeliner, and headed downstairs. I saw Dontae sitting in the living room when I went to go get my charger. He looked at me and smiles weakly, I could tell he was high. I smiled a quick smile then went to get my charger from beside the couch. I thought about grabbing my car keys, but decided not to. Dontae had let me use one of his cars because he didn't want me sitting in the house all day. I said no, but one morning I woke up an he told me to pick a car. I chose his candy apple mustang.

I walked out not even telling him where I was going. I didn't want to talk to him. He had done the one thing he knows I don't like: Trying to force yourself on me. I felt like I was with Justin all over again. I ran up the steps to go get my hat and shades. I grabbed my blue and black TruckFit snapback, and my black Versace shades. I turned around and saw Dontae standing there shirtless. In red basketball shorts. I could see the top of his black boxers. His face looked sad, like he'd been up all night.

"Where you finna go? You ain't even got the keys." he said using his hand to talk.

"To a job interview." I lied. I didn't know where I was going. I just needed to get out the house.

"What job interview?" he asked.

"I didn't know I had to tell you everything. I mean damn." I slapped my hand on my thigh and shrugged my shoulders. He chuckled and rubbed his chin nodding his hair.

"Oh ight, but gone do yo lil job interview. But before you go I ain't.... Mean to do that, you know... Last night? Yeah, good luck on the interview." he said rubbing the back of his neck.

"Thank you, and its okay. I'm smooth." I said walking past him. I just let the situation go. Its whatever. I walked downstairs, and out the door. I walked through the neighborhood, and decided to go to the park. I made it and sat down on a bench. I just sat there and cried with my head in my hands.

"What the fuck is going on in my life?" I said just above a whisper.

~~~~~~~~

I looked at my phone and it was 8 o'clock. I had fallen asleep on the bench. I got up and decided to go to McDonalds. I got Dontae his favorite things, four chicken sandwiches, a 20 piece nugget, medium fry, and a pink lemonade. I got a 20 piece of nuggets, a small fry, and a Mcflury. I walked back to the house and went in. The food was still hot so I must've been walking hella fast. I went in the kitchen and saw him sitting there fully dressed. I smiled at him and sat the food on the counter.

"I got some food, ya favorites."

"Thanks shawty, but I'm finna leave." he brushed past me not even looking at me. I started crying and went up to my room.
