19

"I was in Debo's chicken coop sweatin' like a slave!" We both yelled as the part came on, busting out laughing. I was totally enjoying myself, as was Lucas by the way we both constantly were laughing.

We stopped after a while, continuing to watch the movie before he spoke up.

"Question?"

"Yea?" I ask as I hand him the popcorn, sitting criss-cross.

"Are you and Jahseh a thing?" He asked as I looked at him, shaking my head in confusion.

"No no, were just friends. I watch his brother most of the time, but why?" I ask as he grins.

"Good because this entire two hours we've been together, you- you just have such a good ass vibe. I wanna take you out." He says as I can't help but smile.

"Well seeee." I say as he frowns.

"Wait, am I getting the L?"

"The what?" I say as I bust out laughing, weak he just said 'the L'

"The L, like you turning me down type shit."

"Hmmmm well seeee." I say as he flops his body like a kid on the bed, as I laugh.

-I got dropped off at Jahseh's as he rudely demanded me back, claiming Aiden was sick and puking but Aiden was asleep and just fine. I was annoyed as I walked inside of his room, slapping his shoulder as he jumped.

"What?"

"He's asleep, what's the real reason you wanted me here?" I ask crossing my arms, making an angry face as he smiled.

"I missed you, and I know your mad at me. And I still wanted to make it up to you, I don't care if you say no, this take out is happening jit. Your nana is gonna come watch Aiden too, so don't think that's a reason to stay." He says as he scoots me out of his room, I scoff.

"Who do you think you a-"

I gasp as he scoops me up quickly, throwing me over his shoulder.

"Why do you even think this is okay!? Who do you think you are!? Jahseh god dammit!" I yell as he laughs, he takes me out of the house, dropping me quickly before catching me in one fast motion.

"Stop. I'm sorry, let me show you instead of telling you Stormi." He says as he drags me into the car.

The entire ride I was so damn mad, I caught an attitude with him every second, everytime he said something.

We pulled up to Buffalo Wild Wings, Jahseh forcing me inside. We're seated at a small brown table, me finally not pouting after awhile. He's lucky I was hangry.

"So, tell me something I can say so you won't be mad at me." He says after the waiter orders our drinks.

"It wouldn't be genuine if I told you something to say to me Jahseh." I said as I laid my head on my hand, looking up at him with my huge eyes. He grinned, nodding to agree with my statement.

"Okay look, Geneva- She- look Okay. It's really hard to explain, but when I had absolutely no one besides Stokeley, I had her. I lived with her for months when I had no where to stay, she fed me, paid so much outta pocket for me. She really showed she loved me." He said as I frowned.

"Showed? That's past tense so what happened?"

He tensed up, avoiding my stare. I placed my hand on his to comfort him.

"Jahseh I know it's hard to talk about but it's gonna feel so good if you let it off if your chest. You know I'd never betray your trust." I said sending him a small smile as he clutched my hand back.

"She ended up cheating on me, many times when I went to jail. But she still showed me love like it never even happened, I'm not finna lie, that shit hurt. I began corruption and that's why she is the way she is now, I never once put my hands on her, ever. But I can't lie and say I wasn't mentally abusive. I made her feel like shit for years over it, so much that we both turned angry from the hurt, but I was hurt more. She continued to do it, so I continued to play with her head."

I stared at him, and by the look of his face I could tell he didn't wanna tell me all of that, but I was so glad he did. I wanted him to believe that he could trust me, so I told him something I've never ever told a soul, something I hide so deeply within me.

"I- listen. This is personal to me, something I've never told a soul. The entire reason I came down here was be-"

"Here's your drinks." The waiter says smiling as he hands us our drinks, rudely interrupting me. I frown but take my water.

I order barbecue wings, Jahseh orders a fat ass burger. I laugh at the thought of him eating it.

"Go on." He said smiling at me as I sent him one back.

"Okay so the actual reason we came here is because- let's start here. My best friend Olivia, we were best friends for so long, we did everything together from age five to now. But she knew I was rich and I knew she was poor, and me being me, I gave her money all the damn time to support her. But she began getting more needy as she grew, using all my Christmas funds on her. But finally she stopped asking, telling me this sugar daddy was supporting her."

He makes a face as he tells me to go on.

"I loved her so I went with it, but I walked in on her fucking my father. And that's why I came down here and refuse to leave."

Jahseh almost spit his water everywhere, covering his face as he tried not to laugh. I should be mad but I couldn't help but to smile at his reaction, I began laughing as he does to.

"I'm sorry, that's so fucked up but mannnnn. That's some pure white people shit jit." He says as I laugh harder, he does too.

The Waiter comes with our food as I thank him, Jahseh devouring his burger as I laugh, almost choking on my wing causing both of to grossly laugh.

"You see that guy? Watch this." Jahseh says as he launches a fry right in the big white guys ass crack, he didn't notice but couldn't help but to bust out laughing as we both almost die, my eyes watering at how funny it was.

We leave a minute later once we finish, going back to his house.

I hop inside of the shower, making sure to wash and shave, also braiding my hair before laying down in Jahseh's bed. I laid on my stomach, smiling at Lucas' text.

Lucas- hey u preety

Stormi- what 😂

Lucas- idk I'm just sitting here thinking about you 😶

Stormi- why's that? I'm nothing special you nut 🙂

Lucas- you are too me, idk 🤷🏽‍♂️

Stormi- your sweeeeeet

Lucas- so about that date?

Stormi- time and place?

He began texting me back, Jahseh walking in in just a towel. "Get dressed." I say looking up at him as he stared back. "Maybe, we'll see." He says as I smile.

He walks towards his dresser dropping his towel as I bust out laughing at his bare ass cheeks.

"What're you laughing at? My ass nice as fuck jit." He says as I shake my head smiling.

"Here let me turn around, you'll stop laughing soon." I scream and cover my eyes ass he does so, hearing a slap as I laugh harder.

"Did you just slap your dick!?" I ask laughing.

"Sure did." He said laughing.

"Okay, I'm dressed, your good."

I peep through my fingers, seeing him dressed in sweats and socks, no shirt.

"Hey is Aiden still here?" I ask as he shakes his head. "No, my mom and him went out of town to see his grandma, and to the doctor before." He says as I nod.

I continued texting Lucas, even while a movie was playing and Jahseh, and I could tell by as many times he told me to get off my phone he was sick of it.
