"What he say?"

"You saw him fucking the little thing from the party and you cried. Or some shit like that." He said looking at me then the TV

I said nothing. I just looked at the TV screen.

He only kissed me. That's it. That's all. Nothing more. Nothing less.

"I need to evaluate my life. I'm ONLY going to prom with Gerald. Kwon is ONLY my bestfriend...if that, after the stunt I pulled at the agency. But I'm still heavily confused on what Joey and I are." I thought to myself

"I'll be back." I said crawling out of bed

He nodded and I slipped out of his window down the fire escape. I jogged 2 blocks to Kwon's.

I climbed his fire escape and softly knocked on the window. After waiting for 2 minutes I turned to make my way down.

Before I could the window shot open.
I crawled back up and sat criss cross apple sauce in front of a shirtless Kwon.

"I'm sorry about earlier, I really over reacted."I started

"It's fine." He said yawning

"So bestfriends...again?" I asked nervously

"I never stopped being your bestfriend. But sure." He smiled

"Bye now."

"Bye Lo."

I heard the window shut as I climbed down. I jogged back to Joeys place and climbed the fire escape. I sat by the window for a minute or 2 catching my breath.

"I got to workout more." I huffed as I climbed back through the window

"Where you go?" Joey asked as I snatched off my jacket

"Kwon's." I blankly replied as I unlaced my shoes and set them by the bed

I laid my head on his shoulder and stared up at him for a bit.

"Why you staring?" He asked not looking down at me

I kissed his jawline and snuggled into his neck.

He grabbed my waist and rested his hand on my butt.

"Keep your hands to yourself." I warned

He disregarded my warning and actually began to get a better feel on it.

"Joey." I whined moving his hand

His hand seemed to travel back.

I moved it completely off of me this time. He sucked his teeth and shifted his body.

"Why you acting like a virgin?" He asked looking down at me

"Everyone isn't a hoe."

"You don't have to be a hoe to have sex."

"I'm just not ready yet." I said looking up at him

"Damn Lo your 18. You not ever gonna be ready?" He said in a duh tone

"Joey stop it." I said sitting up

"I'm just saying. I got needs too and you laying with a nigga but not "playing" with a nigga if you catching my drift."

"Well then....I'm gonna go."

He said nothing he just looked over at the tv while I laced up my shoes and threw my jacket on. I made my way out the window and down the fire escape.

I laid in bed wide awake for a while fighting myself mentally."

"Maybe Joeys right."

"He left you."

"I really like him."

"He going to use you."

I ended up crawling out of my window for the 2 time tonight to climb up Joeys. I briefly knocked.

The window slid up showing the second shirtless prodie I've seen tonight.

"You were right Joey." I said

He looked as if he had seen a ghost.

"Joey baby come back." A female voice echoed

I snapped back away from him and stared at him for a second then left without saying a word.
