Calls

June 16th, 4:07 pm

I had got back from the diner and was now walking into the kitchen of my house. Instantly the smell of some good ole home cooking found its way to my nose. The aroma was satisfying. I noticed that my mom and Michael were cooking together.

"Hey guys, what's cookin?" I asked as I gave my mother and him a side hug. Sliding out a chair from the table I placed myself there.

"Nothing you want, you just came back from eating too. It's baked macaroni and cheese with some oven roasted chicken." She was right, I would not want that. I hate baked macaroni, the chicken i'll eat though. Michael knew how to season up a good chicken.

"How was lunch, Xi?" Michael asked me while putting the chicken in the oven. I'm so glad that my mom met someone who knew how to cook and could teach her because she was terrible. We basically grew up on noodles and microwave meals.

"Um pretty good, pretty eventful especially with the girls, you know how they are..." I dragged, tapping my finger tips on the table, He laughed a little.

"Why do I have a feeling that boy was there." My mom said with some suspicion to her voice.   The way she always just knew almost everything kind of scared me, I think she might be spying on me to be honest. I'm bout to start checking things for hidden cameras.

"He might have been there....BUT it was a total coincidence. He happened to walk in with his friends and then we got to chat." I smiled on instinct.

"Whoever he is you must like em, even if it's a little bit. I could tell by the way you smile just at the mention of him." It just happened on its own. I seemed to always smile when he was involved.

"I guess so. Speaking of that, I won't be home around 7 tomorrow night. He's taking me out."

"Wowww that fast? He must like you too.." My mom responded. We chatted a little more as I watched them cook, but since I didn't plan on eating again I shortly left. The croak of the stairs sounding under my feet as I walked to my room. I decided to call the girls since I didn't have anything planned out for the rest of the day. The phone rang a few times and I laid back on my bed, leaning up against the cushioned headboard. Then there were answers.

"Girl whatchu want we were just with you?" Jessica yelled into the phone. There were two things she was good at, talking forever and yelling.

"I'm boreddd, like right now there's literally nothing for me to do. I don't know where my brother is, I can't even bother him!" I whined.

"Well..why don't you call LaMelo." Kamora chimed in. I'd feel weird just calling him out of nowhere, I always get nervous calling people that aren't the girls or my family, I'm a texter.

"That'll be weird sooo I think not" I said exactly while playing with the ends of my hair.

"How though, I mean you guys have talk in person so...." Kamora trailed on.

"Yeah I think you just being dramatic and scary  if we're being honest~" Jessica added.

"GEE THANKS GUYS" I retorted. "Since it seems to me that my two best friends don't feel like talking to me right now i'll go find someone else to bother." I ranted rolling my eyes at them both.

"We still love you boo" Jess sang into the phone making kissy faces. I smiled while sticking my middle finger up at her, then we all hung up. I sighed slapping my phone down on the sheets next to me staring at the space in front of me. I was sooooo bored right now. I changed into a black tank and some shorts laying back on my bed. I thought summer was supposed to be fun. I mean I could call Melo like Kamora suggested but I don't know if I could muster up the nerves to do so. Sometimes I think I was scarier than Kamora when it comes to boys but to be real, Melo is the only boy that's made me this nervous. I chewed on my lip shuffling the decision in my head a few times while staring at my black phone screen on the side of me. My hand started to reach for it but then I pulled it back putting on my forehead. Ugh why am I being such a pussy. I dragged my hand across my face giving my phone another good glare.

"You know what, fuck it" I said grabbing my phone and not just calling, but FACETIMING Melo. Now I was laying on my stomach with my feet kicked up in the air behind me. The phone rang for a while, he probably wasn't gonna answer. I pouted and reached to hang up the phone. My finger was only a few millimeters away from the phone screen before the call connected and I was met with Melo's face. My hand snapped back and I stared at the screen as he yawned and brought one of his hands up to rub his eyes.

"Hey Xi, wassup" he mumbled, his voice sounding raspy and deep like he just had woke up.

"Hey, Did you just wake up or something?" I questioned putting both my hands under my chin, tilting my head to the side a little.

"Uhhhh, yeah I was taking a nap for a lil bit."

"Oh my bad I'm sorry I didn't mean to interrupt I could hang up-"

"Nah you good." He chuckled at me like he was amused at the fact that I was so concerned with interrupting his sleep. This boy knew what he was doing to me. He was now laying on his side holding his head up with one. You could tell by his bare shoulders and collar bones that he had no shirt on. Oh, the things I wanted him to do to me.

"Well I called you because my friends are horrible people and I'm really bored and have no one to talk to."

"Aww so you wanted to talk to Melo.." He said in a baby voice. I proceeded to roll my eyes EXTRA hard at him.

"Don't get ahead of ya self now sir." I made a stank face at him.

"Even yo stank face is cute" he cheesed showcasing his perfect teeth. His smile melted my heart every time I saw it. It made me smile too, like seeing him happy somehow made me happy.

"I know we ain't know each other for that long but I want you to know that seeing you smile really makes me happy" I quietly let out, still loud enough for him to hear. I didn't wanna sound weird and scare him off.

His smile then turned into more of an embarrassed smirk as he looked down for a little then back at the camera.

"That's crazy because I was gonna say the same about you.." I knew I was blushing super hard. I began to say something in response but then there was a knock at my bedroom door.

"Hold up one second Melo" I made sure to mute the call before getting up out of my position to answer the door. Wild things were said in this household, wild things. I reached for and twisted the door knob opening the door  to reveal Jeremiah, just standing there.

"Yeah Jere?" I impatiently greeted him leaning on the door frame.

"I just wanted to ask you when we're gonna meet yo lil boo, It's not like I can't hear you boo loving over the phone when I walk past the door." He smiled annoyingly. I didn't even bother to respond I just walked backwards slowly and slammed the door in his face. I heard him laughing from the other side. Believe it or not he wasn't always this damn annoying, even though it really seem like it.

I went back to my position on the bed and unmuted the call. He was still in the same position seemingly studying my room from the phone.

"Do you like what you see?" I giggled shifting around.

"You or the room, shawty." He said in a low voice licking his lips. W A T E R F A L L S✨.

"Don't do that. You, that smile, the way you be licking your lips. It makes my self control literally shrivel up and disappear outta my body." I shamelessly admitted.

"I like that." he bluntly said and I sucked my teeth. "I was actually looking at your lil decorations, I like your style. My room is plain as fuck." I laughed at him.

For the rest of the night we talked and talked for hours. Talking to him was pretty entertaining, there was never really a dull moment. Around 11:18 pm my eyes started to feel heavy and I was trying to fight the sleep that was coming my way at full speed. At the moment Melo was playing the game and he had his phone in his lap facing him showcasing off his sexy concentrated face. He took a quick glimpse at me and noticed I was tired.

"Xi, go to sleep, you know you tired. Imma stay on the phone with you the whole night, ight." All I did in my tired state was raise my hand sloppily to give him a thumbs up and let my head hit the pillows, my phone right next to me. A deep deep sleep I go.
