Misunderstood

Chapter 10

Maurice

2 weeks later

"Niggas been counting me out
I'm counting my bullets
I'm loading my clips
I'm writing down names
I'm making a list
I'm checking it twice and I'm getting 'em hit
The real ones been dying
The fake ones is lit
The game is off balance
I'm back on my shit
The Bentley is dirty
My sneakers is dirty
But that's how I like it
You all on my dick"

J cole middle child blasted through my headphones as I ran ahead of the basketball team. We ran a mile every Saturday morning. 3 more weeks before the season starts. After making it to the football field first I removed my headphones and paused my music.

"Damn bro you fast." Josh barely could get out since he was out of breath.

I shrugged waiting on coach and the rest of the team to make it over to us. "I'm hitting the gym after this... you coming?"

"School gym? But probably not I have to go to work at 12."

"Naw the Y..." I was happy as hell I wasn't on the schedule this Saturday surprisingly.

"Trying to hit Omar party tonight or you got a lunch date?" Josh laughed making me throw him the middle finger.

For the past 2 weeks Jayda and myself went out to lunch by ourselves without our friends. I haven't told anyone about our kiss in the car because I really didn't know what it meant yet. We have shared a few pecks since but nothing as deep as the car kiss.

"Alright guys good run..." Coach spoke before I could answer Josh.

"Maurice help me with these groceries in." My mom immediately said after I answered the phone.

"Here I come." I hung up grabbing a pair of sweats and hoodie to throw on since I had just got out the shower.

"Hurry up." I heard my mom yell as she opened the front door.

It took me no time to grab the groceries. I hated taking multiple trips so I made it work in two trips since she had waters too.

"You want chicken tacos?" Nodding my head I helped her put the food away. "Are you going out tonight?"

"Probably to this party later.." I shrugged

"Where is the party at? Jayda going?"

"This guy on the team house but I haven't asked her."

"Well don't be out too late... I don't like you driving after midnight." She grabbed the pack of chicken breast about to clean it.

My phone started going off with a FaceTime call from Jayda. I made my way up the stairs before answering the call.

"Wassup beautiful." I licked my lips taking in her appearance.

She blushed looking to the side of her. I smirked watching her try to hide the obvious Rosie cheeks. God this girl is beautiful.

"Hey, what are you doing?" she asked finally looking back into the camera.

"Shit... chilling. You?"

"At my moms friend baby shower."

"Why you calling me at a baby shower?" I laugh.

"It's over my mom just talking with her friend, I'm just waiting for her to leave."

"Are you going to Omar party tonight?"

She shrugged looking out the window. "Probably not.. my mom wants to have family night since she's not working tonight. Are you going?"
