my school that I occasionally kicked it
with. She was a senior and had her own place but it had been a minute since I
had seen or talked to her. She had a boyfriend now so she would disappear for
months at a time and then just randomly call out to blue looking for a hook up.
I was always cool with that since I was never really hurting for attention.
Girls were always so eager to get with me that I always had somebody to call if
I wanted chill.
“What’s up Zay, you
busy?” Translation I’m horny.
“Yeah, I’m tied up
right now.” I glanced at Kya again and then slowly twisted the door knob to her
bathroom and quietly pushed it open.
“Awe you sure you
can’t come through, not even for a minute?”
Yeah your minutes are more like hours. Not that I was complaining though because it was
always worth it.
“Nah I’m chilling
tonight.” The more I thought about how she rolled I was tempted but then I
thought about Ky.
“I see how it is, you’re
just gonna to leave me hanging.”
Damn, please don’t make me chose . “You don’t need me. I know you, you’ve got ‘em
lined up begging for attention.”
I stuck my head out
the door to check on Ky again.
“They’re not you
though.” Her voice was soft and whiny.
“You’ll be fine.”
“I guess I’ll have
to be.” She sounded like a pouty little kid.
I laughed, “I’ve
gotta go Mara.”
“So am I gonna see
you soon?”
“I don’t know,
we’ll see.”
“Dang Zay, she must
be the truth.” She said and then laughed.
“It’s nothing like
that.” I lied.
“Mmhmm.”
“There you go, I’m
for real though.” I laughed again, she had read me perfectly but I wasn’t going
to admit it.
“Well you know how
to find me.”
“Indeed.”
“Alright baby,
hopefully you don’t stay away too long.”
I ended the call
and quietly stepped out of the bathroom. Kya was still sleep. Thank goodness! I
placed my phone face down on her desk, snuck back into bed and stretched out on
my back with my arms folded behind my head. The breeze from the fan sent a
chill through me because the temperature outside dropped so I snatched the
covers away from the wall and pulled them over me. As soon as my body was still
Kya snuggled close to me, placed her head on my chest and then moved her leg
across my thigh. The warmth from her body wiped away the chill that hit me from
the breeze of the ceiling fan. Her world was perfect just like this and it
seemed so easy but everything in me was fighting against it. “Get it together
Xavier.” I whispered, or one day she'll
be gone.
Chapter 2
Kya Renee
It was close to 7:30
and I had been up for almost two hours so that I could study for my Chemistry
test before class and it was almost time for me to leave. Xavier was still
asleep and I used my phone as an alarm clock so I needed to figure out how to
get him up after I left for class since Toni wasn't home. I knew from
experience that he would sleep all day if no one bothered him especially since
he was usually up all night. I needed to set an alarm for him so that he
wouldn’t miss his 11 o’clock class. It
must be nice. I mumbled to myself annoyed by the fact that his coach let
the team pick their schedules and made sure they got all of the classes they
requested. I grabbed the dry erase marker that was connected to the board above
my dresser and wrote him a note:
Sorry for going through your phone but I set your alarm so
that you wouldn't miss class.
Lock my door when you
leave and I'll call you later to let you know about the game.
I picked up his phone. Password.
Crap! I typed my birthday in an attempt to unlock it and then smiled at the
fact that he still hadn't changed it. I
was sure he only used it because none of his new tricks would know to my
birthday! He had several texts from girls that I didn’t know. Being my typical
nosy self, I opened a few of the conversations and scrolled through them. They
were exactly what I expected low
