I've been slacking. 😧

Sebastian Lorizio

"Mr. Lorizio." A book slammed down in front of me making me jump up.

My professor towered over me with a look of disappointment on his face. Looking around, the whole class was gone.

"I've just about had it with you sleeping in my class." He said.

"I'm sorry professor Graves. I just-" 

"I don't need excuses, Sebastian. You're behind in my class and I don't know how you managed to pull a low C in this class, but you have to do better." He started to lecturers, which I didn't want to hear. I heard enough of it from my counselor.

"I will."

"I hope so. I see potential in you and I would hate to see it go to waste."

I gave him a simple nod as I began to gather my things.

"Remember you have a care plan due on Friday."

"I know." I lied. I forgot all about that paper. Haven't even started it. So I have two days to get it finished.

I left the building and headed to my car that was all the way on the other side of campus. Taking my phone out, I decided to text Valencia 

Troll🤷🏾
You gonna let me come over?
-5:45 p.m.

No. I'm sure you have homework.
-5:47 p.m.

Troll🤷🏾
Look who's starting to care.
-5:47 p.m.

I don't. I hate you.
-5:50 p.m.

Troll 🤷🏾
Sure you do...
-5:51 p.m.

I locked my phone and placed it in my pocket before unlocking my car door to get in. Tossing my book bag to the backseat, I started the car to begin heading home. I needed to start on this assignment as soon as possible.

Thinking I was going to come home to complete silence since Ava was supposed to be at her parent's house today, instead I walked in to a candle lit dinner.

"Baby, you're home." She squealed, kissing my lips.

I rolled my eyes as I made my way to our bedroom that I now let her sleep in again, "Not right now, Ava."

"But I made you dinner." She pouted.

"I have work to do." I sat my bookbag on the bed.

"Okay then, I'll just eat by myself." She  turned the leave the room.

Me not wating to look at the pitiful face she had, I followed behind her and sat across from her at the table. Preparing myself for this food, I said a prayer to myself. It's chicken so I can either get salmonella or pretend like she didn't get take out and say she made it.

I picked up my knife and fork as she watched me cut into the chicken breast and take a bite. To my surprise it didn't taste like KFC, Popeyes, or Church's. See Ava and I play this game where she makes dinner and I pretend like I don't know she put take out on a plate.

"Who you have over here make this because you can't cook." I looked at her skeptically.

"I made it."

"You lying."

"I'm serious. I followed it exactly the way my mom told me to." She said. "You like it?"

"I do." I nodded my head in approval. "But tell me what you want."

"What?"

"Tell me what you want. You ain't do all of this for no reason. Maybe high school Ava would've, but not now so tell me." I eyed her as I continued to eat my food.

"I want to have a baby." She smiled.

I nearly choked on my mashed potatoes, "You want to have a what?"

"A baby."

"Who giving you one?"

She sucked her teeth, "I was hoping my boyfriend of almost ten years."

"Must be another boyfriend because you not talking about me."

"Bash, I'm serious."

"I'm serious too. You think I'm giving you a baby when we living in a one bedroom apartment? You must be out your damn mind." I shook my head.

"But you're about to graduate soon-"

"And?"

"So that means more money."

"And what do you plan to be doing?" I raised an eyebrow. I was curious to know.

"Taking care of our children of course." She laughed, but I couldn't find what was funny.

"Children?" I chuckled as I wiped the corners of my mouth with a napkin. "Hell naw."

"We're twenty-six years old. What was all that shit you was talking about in high school? How you wanted to marry me after high school. Um, you're about to graduate from pharmacy school."

"I was seventeen."

"So what! I've been here for you for your bachelor's and now you're about to get your Pharm.D title."

I could've had my title years ago, but my father wasn't going for it. I'm required to do at least two years of college then I could begin my practice. My dad told me put full use into my scholarship so that's what I did.

"Brianna is having her second baby and married. Maddison is-"

"Am I Brianna and Maddison's nigga?" I asked and she shook her head no. "Then shut that shit up. I ain't ready for marriage and kids isn't what we need financially."

"Kids I could understand, but almost ten years, Sebastian and you're not ready for marriage."

"You're not either if you're fucking bitches behind my back."

She sighed dramatically, "You can't be serious right now."

"Avana, I'm not doing this with you." I stood up from the table and went to our room, gathering my things.

"Where are you going?" She asked with an attitude.

"Out before I choke the shit out of you."

Valencia Carter

"That's right. Yank her ass, Dime." I laughed, watching my usual ratchet show. Love & Hip Hop.

Knocking came from my front door and I rolled my eyes as I got up.

"Who the hell is it?" I yelled as I made my way to the door.

"Open this damn door." Sebastian's voice came from the other side.

"What do you want?" I asked when I opened the door.

"To do my work." He sat at my table with his laptop just like he had did last time.

"You realize they have public libraries, right?"

"I told you it's quiet here."

"You could go to Amir's."

"Amir is far from quiet." He said making me slightly laugh.

"You're right. I guess I'll let you stay, but don't make this a habit." I went to turn off the television. "You hungry?"

He smirked, "You care."

"Stop saying that. I dont care." I rolled her eyes.

When I got closer to him, he wrapped his lanky arms around me as he remained seated at my table.

"Get your crusty ass hands off of me."

"Admit you care." He stood up with his arms still around me.

"I hate you, Sebastian."

His lips unexpectedly came in contact with mines and I pulled away with wide eyes.

"I'm sorry." He said.

I stared at him, still shocked with what just happen. He kissed me again and I wrapped my arms around his neck as I got more into it.

Not breaking the kiss, his hands slid down to my butt as he hoisted me up onto his waist. I slid my tongue into his mouth and he let out a small groan. Deepening the kiss, my hands gripped his hair.

He sat me on the table and I went for his shirt as he laid wet kisses down my neck.

"Oooh." Hazel walked inside, catching us in the act.

I pushed Sebastian away from me and practically ran to my room.

What did I just do?

♡♡♡♡

Sebastian?

Ava?
