chapter 7: love in a thousand languages

Azania

"Hey, can we talk?" Jamal asked standing in my way.

"No Jamal, I don't wanna talk." I said, walking around him.

"Can we just talk, can we just talk. Talk about me and you girl. Before we get cold, lend me your thoughts."  Jamal sang, joging after me.

"Stop ruining Khalid's song." I said, laughing a bit.

"I'm really sorry bout Saturday, Zania." Jamal said. "Please forgive me." He said reaching into his pocket and taking out a little box then handed it to me.

I just stood there, hoping that it wasn't a ring. I opened the box and saw a little brown ball in the little cushion inside the box.

"Thanks for the ball?" I said, faking a smile.

"It's a necklace, dum dum." Jamal said, laughing.

"Don't call me that." I said, play punching him.

"Oww." He whined

He took it out of the box and put it on me.

"Aww thanks boo." I said, holding the brown ball.

"You can thank me in another way." Jamal said, licking her lips.

"Boy shut up." I said, gently hitting him on his chest.

I got on my toes and put my arms around his neck. He bent down and put his hands around my waist and we kissed.

"I missed your lips." Jamal said between kisses.

I just smilled and we continued kissing.
I broke the kiss and looked at him.

"I love you." I said, smilling.

"Mhhm. I know." Jamal said and looked at me.

"Say it back." I said to Jamal, acting strict.

"I already did." He said, smilling.

"No you didn't." I said, looking at him.

"I did. Bye Azania." He said and walked off.

I was confused. What did I do? I mean we were okay, he gave me a necklace, we even kissed. What was wrong with Jamal?

Jamal

Not saying I love you to Azania was hard but I had to. I'm not at angry or anything. I just wanted my necklace to do all the talking.

I walked home and my Mom had already arrived from her work trip.

I greeted her and we talked for a while.
I went to the kitchen and cooked us something to eat.

I heard my phone beep so I unlocked it and read the message Azania just sent me.

The only one😫❤
Jamal you ain't tell me you love me today afterschool.😕

Me
I  did, a thousand times even.

The only one😩❤
What you talking bout Jamal?

Me
The necklace. Take it off and shine your phone flashlight through the ball. You'll see😊

After about a minute I got a voice note from her.

"Omg babeeee! I just shinned the flash thorough it. It said 'I love you' in a thousand languages. Thanks and I love your sneaky ass too." She said and I could hear that she was happy.

"I love you more." I said into my phone and sent the voice note.

I got a notification that she just posted a new snap. I opened her story and she posted a picture of the necklace and captioned it 'Bae though 😭❤❤'.

I just smilled and turned my phone off. I love Azania so much. I can't wait for the day I change her last name.

Azania

I was laying on my back playing with the necklace Jamal gave me. It was really preety and had more meaning to me now that before.

I'm am so happy with my life right now. Summer break is around the corner, me and Jamal are okay, I made a couple friends and I went to a party (which I partly forgot).

I got onto my phone and before I could text Mosey he texted first.

Lil mosey
I miss your face😞. Face time?

Me
Sure.

I gave him my number and he facetimed me within 10 seconds of me giving him my number. I connected my earphones before I answered it.

"You ain't love me no more, bruh." Mosey said, looking away from the camera.

"What did I do?" I asked, chuckling.

"You ain't hit me up since Saturday. Ssup?" He asked.

"Why ain't you hit me up if you was thinking of me?" I asked.

He just smacked his teeth.

"See?" I said and laughed.

"Saturday was mad lit, though." He said, and laughed.

"I ain't remeber none after I entred some blueberry smellin room." I said, laughing.

"Bro! You a stoner now. The fuck?" He said and laughed hard.

"Watchu talking bout?" I asked.

"Blueberry smelling room. That's where the stoners hang out bruh." He said, and laughed.

"Gawwwd, how did I not die that day?" I asked, and laughed.

"Bro you was crazy on Saturday. You thought you was Da Baby." He said and laughed.

"What? Noo." I said, not believing him.

He smacked his teeth. "I ain't kidding. You was wearing somebody Bulls Shirt with a cap backwards." He said, and laughed.

"I ain't believe you." I said, folding my arms over my chest then rolling my eyes.

"Imma hang up right now and send you the videos. Aight?" He asked.

"Yea right as if you really have the videos." I said,  smugging.

"You'll see."he said then hung up.

I hope Mosey's joking. A part of me thinks it's true but another one doesn't.

My phone vibrated in my hand and I hoped it wasn't mosey with the video.

Turns out it was the videos. Gawd how I embarrassed myself on Saturday.

I watched the videos cringing af. I faceplamed my self asking myself why I agreed to go to that party.

I brushed all of this cringeness off me and went on with my day trying not to think about it.
