Ranae


ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  I was dressed in my black NIKE hoodie and purple joggers and sat on my bed waiting for Anthony to come. It's been a little over an hour and he still wasn't here so I finished the rest of my homework for next week.

Nicole and them was still asleep so I tried not to make so much noise while packing my overnight bag. The arguing with my mom and dad finally died down a few minutes after I got off the phone with Anthony.

I wanted to tell him everything that happened today in person. And I also just miss his cologne, company, and bear hugs.

I got on my phone strolling through my news feed. Nothing important except my favorite artists dropping new music, fashion and make up pages promoting their stuff. I didn't even know I was following them, they just appeared.

I started looking through some of them and seen girls modeling the clothing. Some of the stuff they had was actually cute but I could never fit into or see myself wearing. I kept looking through pages and came across plus size model pages. I clicked on one and she was pretty as shit. The dress she was modeling was also pretty. I couldn't pull off most of the clothes on here it I wanted to.

I frowned when my phone started vibrating indicating a incoming call and it was Anthony Interrupting my strolling.

"Come out." He said. It was already going on twelve. I hope they sleep downstairs cause I didn't need to get questioned about me leaving at this time.

I said okay hanging up with him and grabbing my bag on the side of my bed. I slipped on my slides and grabbed my charger and quietly walked out my room. Going down the stairs I didn't see anyone in the living room so I walked out the door going to his car and he got out.

"Wassup mamas" he said walking around the car to me. We hugged and he opened the door for me. I thanked him while getting in and sat my bag in the back seat.

"You're late." I said while putting my seatbelt on. He got in but didn't drive off yet.

"I'm here though, ain't I?" He said leaning closer to me. I couldn't stop looking between his eyes and lips.

"Whatever." I said. "Where we going now?"

"You told me to scoop you up." He said staring at me.

"Okay, do you have a home?" I asked. He looked like he was day dreaming. He didn't take his eyes off me and he wasn't saying nothing.

"Hellooo." I snapped my fingers in his face. "What are you looking at? Stop staring at me." I giggled.

"I can stare at yo ass, you be staring at me." I laughed shaking my head. My cheeks was on fire. "And yeah." He said looking away, pulling off now. He turned the radio on and biggie's warning came on and he turned it up.

The entire time he was just rapping along to each song that came on. A few times he would nudge me, rapping the lyrics to me. Basically just in his own world and it was cute to me.

We was now downtown Chicago and he pulled up to an building and drove into the underground parking garage. He parked and killed the engine. We both got out and I followed him to the building door and we came across a older guy at the security desk.

The inside screamed expensive . I knew he had money but I didn't think like this.

He looked at us and nodded and Anthony did the same. We walked to an elevator and he pressed the up arrow. The elevator came and we got on and pressed the eighteenth floor.

I leaned back on the wall and looked at him. He looked drained and tired. He was leaning his head back on the wall with his eyes closed. The elevator stopped on seven and two girls and two guys got on. They stood in the middle of us talking and laughing loud.

The dude had the girl in his arms playing and they stumbled into me. They noticed and turned around.

"My bad ma'am." He said chuckling. The girl looked over his shoulder at me.

"Ooo she's pretty." She smiled. "Right?" The dude nodded looking me up and down.

"And plump too." He added smiling. I scrunched my face up at him and moved further into the corner of the elevator.

"Four some with her?" She asked him geeked. And my eyes went wide. I'm now disgusted.

Their stop came on the twelfth floor but they didn't get off yet.the other girl held the door open and they both turned to me and cheesed at me.

"So do wanna join us?" He asked.

"Get the fuck off the elevator." I hear Anthony say to them. He was glaring at them and I can tell he was irritated and disgusted just like I was.

He grabbed my hand, pulling me to his side and I guess they got the message. They hurried off letting the door finally close.

Our stop came and we got off and begin walking down the hall. I stayed close while looking at all the portraits and plaques on the wall. The chandelier that's in the middle of the hallway was pretty.

We made it to his door and he opened it and let me go in first. It was a nice looking condo, everything was neat and clean. I didn't seem like anyone even here. Nothing looked touched either.

He closed the door and grabbed my bag from
me. He walked to the back and I sat down on the couch.

"You live here by yourself?" I asked. I noticed there wasn't any pictures of his family on the walls or tables. All he told me was, it was just him, his mom, and little brother.

I didn't get a response so I just sat back and waited for him. I searched for my phone in my pockets but it was empty and I start to panic. Did they drunk junkies pickpocket me?

Then I remembered it's in my bag and he took it with him.

I didn't just want to wonder around his house but I need my phone. I took my slides off and set them by the door. I walked to the back and seen a door wide open. I got closer and it was his room.



"Anthony" I called out.

He was stretched out across his bed on his back and light snores could be heard. How he just going to fall asleep on me like that, that quick.

I walked further in and now I could see his face and his mouth was slightly open. I decided to let him sleep and get my bag that's next to him.
I walked around the bed to the other side and grabbed it, getting my phone and his head jumped up making me jump.

"You okay?" I asked. He nodded his head, sitting up and scratched the inside of his throat, making me cringe.

I hated that sound.

He got up and took his jackets and shoes off and went to his closet. His phone vibrated on his bed and I leaned over a little to see who it was. All I could see was a number and the tiny message under it. He came back out and I stood up straight.

He had pillows and a comforter under his arm. He grabbed his phone and was about to walk out the door.

"Where you going?" I asked.

"To sleep. You can take the bed." He said leaving out the room.

"No, I'llโ€”"

"Nae go to sleep" he simply said from the living room. I sighed and sat on the bed. I could've slept on the couch, it's nothing. He probably can't even fit on the couch. Tall ass.

I got out my jacket and laid it on the edge of the bed. I was already in my sleeping clothes so I just laid down and got under the covers.

I stayed on instagram until it was almost two in the morning, well until I got sleepy again. I turned the lamp off and snuggled into the pillow.

*****


I was laying on my stomach and I felt my stomach vibrating. With my free hand I felt under my stomach and it was my phone. I grabbed it and looked at the screen and groaned.

Dad๐Ÿง”๐Ÿฝ๐Ÿงก

I knew he was calling me to question me and see where I was but couldn't talk to him without questioning him myself about what I saw so I let it ring. I buried my face back in the pillow when it stopped and then started to ring again.

I sat up and silenced my phone. I was wiping the sleep out my eyes when the lord wanted to test me today. My virgin eyes couldn't look away for nothing.

Anthony walked out the bathroom in just a towel. He went to his closet and started looking through his clothes. He didn't see me sitting up or nothing? My eyes went and scanned every visible tattoo on him.

"Perverted hawk." He said making me flinch and look away. I felt like I got caught stealing something. "Don't look away now."

My cheeks turned hot and I couldn't help the laugh that escaped from me.

"Good morning though." He said closing the closet door.

"Morning." I said standing up and stretching. I picked up my bag and pulled out my clothes. It was a dark grey two piece outfit. I usually never show my arms and legs because their flabby and big but for some reason I'm feeling a little confident today.

Shocker.

I was putting my hair up in a high bun when he came out the closet fully dressed. He walked out the room and a few minutes later came back. He sat two towels and stuff next to me on the bed.

"Thank you."

"You welcome. And don't be talking all the hours of the day either." He said walking out.

"Uh huh."

ย  ย  ย  ย  ย ย  I got out the shower and dried myself off. I got dressed and undid my hair letting it flow down my back. I begin to comb it when he banged on the door once making me jump.

"Hurry yo ass up." He yelled making me laugh.

"Don't y'all at me." I said. I like how he don't like being yelled at but yelling at me.

"A nigga tryna get some to eat and you playing in yo head."

"I got some for you to eat" I thought. I laughed out loud at myself and walked back into the room. He was sitting on the bed in his phone. I went to the mirror and looked at myself and I looked good surprisingly.

I tied the string on my dark grey skirt into a bow then straighten it out. I turned around an he was watching at me. His eyes scanned up and down my body while he nibbled on his bottom lip and I kind of started to feel insecure.

"What?"

"I see you." He said smirking and going back to his phone. My cheeks turned hot from trying to keep from blushing and smiling.

"What do you mean?" I asked honestly curious. I grabbed my bag and phone and he stood up looking down at me. I hated and loved when he does this.

"You chilling with me today or you going home?" He said ignoring my question.

"Do you want me to chill with you?" I headed to the living room with him behind me and grabbed my slides putting them in my bag. I sat on the couch watching him put water bottles into the fridge but I noticed he had no food in it.

"And why don't you have any food?" I giggled.

"Cause I barely be here." He said. He walked out the kitchen and sat next to me.

"So why buy a house if you not gonna come here?"

"I come here when I wanna get away from everyone." He said looking at the ceiling. I don't know why but I wanted to rub my fingers through his beard.

My phone rung and it was my dad again. I sighed rolling my eyes pressing decline. I looked back at him and he was looking at me.

"You don't want him to know you with me?"

"No, I just don't want to talk to him right now."

"Why?" I shrugged while playing with the string to my skirt. He barely comes home, and when he does it's to sleep. I had a feeling he was back to his business but I wasn't sure and now he confirmed it. And I might as well tell Anthony that he knows Kane. I wanted to know if he know this Vito person.

"He knows Kane." I said.

"You sure? How you know?"

"Because some dude was watching our house and he caught'em. I guess he knew Kane and some guy name Vito that sent him." I explained. His brows knitted together as he took what I said in. "I watched him and my uncle jump him up in front of our house last night. I didn't want to be in the house and Nicole and them was asleep so" I said.

"I was the second choice. It's cool." He said and I smacked my lips and squinted my eyes at him.

"Whatever." I giggled. "Guess who I saw at the mall."

"Who?"

"Jared." I said and he looked up at me. "He tried to talk to me. Said he wanted to be friends." He chuckled shaking his head.

"you said no, right?"

"Duhh. Why wouldn't I?" I know I'm a forgiving person with a good heart but not for him.

"Just making sure. He obviously like yo ass." He said leaning back on the couch.

"And?" I said raising a eyebrow. "I doubt he does anyway." I rolled my eyes at the thought of him taking a liking to me all of a sudden.

"Maybe. But I already called dibs." He said softly pinching my cheek. And that's when my heart fluttered and cheeks blushed. "Let's ride out." He stood up and grabbed his keys of the hook.

We was now in the gas station, he was getting whatever he was getting at the front while I was in the back getting me a watermelon Snapple. I also got me some tropical starburst and of course some hot fries. Just a little snack for later.

We just came from some restaurant he knows. I forgot the name of it already but the food was good.

We really didn't have any plans for today so we might just hang with the group. I barely seen Kev and Eli so why not. Plus I know Anthony is going to talk to him about what I told him.

I walked to the front and he was still chatting it up with the clerk. I sat my stuff on the counter and the clerk looked at me.

"You ready?" I nodded. "All this together?"

"No."

"Yeah." Anthony said. He gave the man a twenty and then winked at me.

"Really? I could have paid for it." I said. I grabbed my bag and he wrapped his arm around my shoulder as we walked out the store.

"You welcome lil nigga." I playful rolled my eyes. Sat in the car while he pumped his gas. I turned my phone on and instantly my phone went off.

All these missed calls and texts from Chilli, Nicole and them. But mostly from my parents. I texted Nicole and them first telling them I'm okay and that I'm with Anthony. And of course their dirty little minds thought something happened. I called my mom and she picked up on the second ring.

"Where the hell are you? We been calling you all day Ranae." She yelled in my ear. "Cameron is here." I froze looking ahead. I felt Anthony get in but didn't drive off.

What do she mean he's here? Why was he here? I definitely wasn't going back to the house now.

"I spent a night at my friend house. What's wrong?"

"What friend? Your friends are here? She asked. I sighed, rolling my eyes at her nosiness. I felt Anthony's eyes on me but I looked ahead because I know he can hear her loud voice.

"Why is he there?" I asked getting annoyed.

"Because he can be. He went out with his friends right now but he'll be back. He's staying for a few days." She said and I scrunched my face up and rolled my eyes so hard. I threw my head back on the head rest looking out the window.

Why was he even back in the city? He left with out a trace and then come back like nothing happened. I don't want to see him and I know that's why they was blowing me up.

"So come home and help me cook dinner."

"I don't want to see him and I'm not cooking for him mom." I simply said. She know I wouldn't.

"You heard what I said Ranae. Be here before six o'clock." And with that she hung up in my face. I threw my phone in my bag.

I wasn't going to be there at no six. Im not going there to see him or cook for him. I guess the plan to hang with Nicole and them is off. I know they was staying there to eat.

"That was ya moms?" He asked and I nodded.

"She want you home?" And I nodded. "Want me to drop you off?" He asked and I shook my head no. I'll be late on purpose.

A knock on his window made us look and i wanted to disappear right now. My dad, Ryan and two other dudes stood here looking at us.

If looks could kill we would be dead.
