“So, who threw the first hit?” India asked.
I wasn’t really up for answering questions. I was more concerned with who would drive me home. I certainly didn’t wanna be anywhere near Eric right now. To be honest, I didn’t wanna go back to his house tonight either.
“Hey Nay… Can I sleep over at your place tonight?”
“Sure” She said nodding her head.
“Why don’t you wanna go home?”
“I haven’t been staying at my house since Thursday night India. I forgot to tell you, me and my dad got into it and I’ve been staying at Eric’s house. But Now I really don’t wanna go back to his house tonight.”
“Wait! You knew about this and I didn’t?” She said pointing to Naomi.
“Chill India. She just forgot to tell you. God, you’re acting like she got pregnant and didn’t tell you, she just had an argument with her dad and left!”
“Whatever”
I looked at India like she was crazy. “You know what, I got enough shit going on right now as it is. Don’t get smacked India!”
“No, You and this bitchy attitude are both getting old”
“Really? Ask me how much I care” I said sarcastically.
Naomi stepped in the middle of me and India since we had been stepping closer and closer to eachother. “Okay y’all. That’s enough, just drop it”
“Nay lets go. I gotta go pick up my things from Eric’s house.”
“Okay” Me and Naomi left India in the bathroom and we left the house entirely.
I was hoping Eric’s mom would be home since she was off today. I was happy she was. I told her I wouldn’t be staying there anymore and then I went to go grab my things.
I gave her a hug and thanked her for letting me stay there for the time that I did. Then we headed to Naomi’s house
It was going on midnight when we got there so her parents were sleep. Her older brother was awake though. He was in the living room watching T.V with his girlfriend. His girlfriend also happened to be the ex head cheerleader before she graduated and relinquished the thrown to me.
“Hey Keith! Hey Mya!” I said as I went into the living room. I went upstairs and dropped my stuff in Naomi’s room. I got my things and prepared to take a shower.
I put on some white shorts and a green tank top after take a long hot shower. I washed my hair; blow dried it and curled it.
After being in the bathroom for a good hour and a half, I went into Nay’s room and saw that she was sleeping.
After throwing my towel in the dirty clothes hamper, I went downstairs to find Mya just leaving.
I went over to the couch and changed through the channels only to find nothing on. Keith came back and sat beside me on the couch.
“Haven’t seen you around here in weeks… where you been?”
“Why Keith? Did you miss me?”
“Maybe”
I looked over at him and rolled my eyes. As hard as I tried to forget about the three months that I had dated him, I couldn’t. I didn’t break up with him because I thought he was going to dump me; I broke up with him because he was leaving high school and I wouldn’t see him as much.
“Shut up Keith,” I said smiling.
There it was already. I was smiling uncontrollably.
“No really, maybe…” He leaned in closer to me and got centimeters away from my lips. “…Maybe I just wanted to do this”
He kissed me, and I was kissing him back. He slipped his tongue into my mouth and leaned me back onto the couch so that he was on top of me. Out of nowhere I pushed him up and I stood up.
“What the hell? Keith, you have a girlfriend. She just walked out the door less that five minutes ago!”
“Shhh” He said holding his finger to his mouth.
Then he laughed. “Chill angel… it was just a kiss”
I looked at him and I wasn’t surprised by what he had just said. He had only been dating Mya for a few weeks, and from what Naomi had been telling me, he was about to dump her. But… Why should that matter to me.
Seems like every time I seem to get a little smarter about my choices, a cute guy comes along. I had only had sex one time in my life and I wanted to keep it that way. At least for now. And messing around with Kyle, or Keith, or even Eric wasn’t helping at all!
“I’m going to bed.” I said still standing there.
“Move!” I screamed at myself in my head. “Get the fuck away from him!”
But no, instead I did the complete opposite. I let him pull me into him and kiss me yet again. This time, I didn’t jump up.
