Day Valentine

"Dan really doesn't give a fuck."

"It's still crazy," I sign.

He laughs.

"It's going to stay crazy... he's the one who wanted us to hang out," he makes air quotations.

I look at him and scrunch my eyebrows in question.

"Yes nigga," he says.

I sigh.

"Denial," he says.

I glare at him and steal a piece of his chicken. I flick him off and he makes a dumb ass face.

This nigga.

He puts his hand on his stomach.

"Thank you for honoring me," he starts.

Mmhm, hungry ass. 

"I blessed you," I cut him off.

He sits up.

"Well okay baby Jesus."

I laugh at him. I look down at my plate and start playing with my beef and broccoli.

"Are you okay?"

I look up at Amir and nod.

"Seems like you're stressing. I can see it in your face," he says.

"About?"

Shoulda said something else.

"Your other nigga," he laughs.

My face goes straight.

"Other?"

He off the molly water.

I sit up and lean over the table.

"Both of you have failed to realize that I'm on the market."

Facts.

"Y'all are more than singing?" He says.

"Well why are you stepping over here?" I sign.

"You let me," he furrow his eyebrows and puts some base in his voice.

I drop my fork in my plate.

"Y'all are confusing me!" I sign.

"Me? I understand that completely. It's more than about being single honestly. If that was the case I would just call you a thot for having so many jump offs," he signs.

My eyes get big.

"Thot?"

"Yes," he says calmly.

"I've literally had sex with Dimitri if we're talking about niggas here and wouldn't you be considered to be a jump off," I sign.

He sighs.

"Don't front...you want this dick," he laughs.

My lips part and I get up to leave.

"Wait!" He grabs me.

I side eye him seriously.

"It's crazy, he's your teacher yo," he says.

"Didn't stop you from letting Mrs. Swann top you off sophomore year. I'm twenty-two," I try to hold some type of ground.

He shuts up fast as a bitch and glares at me.

"You have feelings for him."

I pinch the bridge of my nose and sit back down.

And now I have feelings for you.

"Why are you grilling me?" I ask.

"Mad cause he has you so worked up."

"You don't seem mad to me?"

"As of now I'm still trying to hold on to my title as your best-friend, your bro, your a-one from day-one," he says.

"Why?" I ask just to ask.

"Because I would rather be your bestfriend than be nothing to you at all," he says.

His honesty is tearing me up limb my limb.

We both go still. I scratch my arm.

Fucking shoot me.

"Are you sure you're okay?" He asks.

Hell nah.

He gives me a small smile and nod. I mentally roll my eyes though.

"Hmm," he says.

His smile gets bigger.

"Asshole," he laughs.

"Fuck you," I tell him.

He puts his hand on his chest.

"Who's teaching you these naughty words," he says in an accent I can't even place with a country.

Dimitri.

I blush thinking about him.

I know he hates me.

"Boy, look at them cheeks. You hate me but you can't hide that you love me too," he closes his eyes and smiles really wide.

We always debate and end up cool in like two seconds. Toxic?

I feel the heat get worse.

Boy got me redder than a damn tomato. I need to chill out.

I cover my face.

"Yo," I say through my hands.

"Can't stop can you? You love me," he says getting loud.

Doing the most.

I let my hands fall and eat some of my food.

Wish I had Taco Bell.

I throw my fork on his plate.

"What the hell?"

"Fuck this food," I slide down in my chair and stretch out my legs.

"What, my nigga the orange chicken was amazing," he sighs.

"Your orange cat was amazing."

He sits up.

"Fuck you mean," he laughs loud as a bitch.

The family next to us looks over and we laugh in their faces.

They were looking at us hella funny when we got here. I was about to pop the fat ass dad with the mullet when he tripped Amir.

"If I had orange cat, you had rat and broccoli," he makes a point.

Shit he right though.

I take a sip of my drink.

"Lord," I coo to him.

He looks at me for a second without saying anything. I just stare at him.

Hm?

He starts smiling again like he ate one of Daniel's brownies.

"What?" I ask and scrunch my eyebrows.

He shakes his head and pulls out his wallet.

"Nothing," he says.

His teeth are so white. Oh my damn.

He throws a five on the table while I take one last sip of my drink.

"Thank you," he tells me.

I shrug my shoulders and wiggle my knees.

"Weird," he tell me and kills my vibe.

Bitch.

"Thank you!" He waves to the Chinese lady at the counter.

I wave and she smiles at the both of us while I hold the door for Amir.

"Yo, we have to come back here," he says.

I smile.

"Agreed," I sign.

It wasn't that bad actually.

I check my phone.

Damn!

I laugh and grab his shoulder while holding my phone up so he can see.

"Good god, we finna be in trouble."

"I don't want to go back right now," I sign.

I really don't.

"Because you're having a chill time with me or because you don't want to be seen by Mr. Marcello," he calls me out.

Here we go.

I stop walking and turn to him.

In all seriousness.

"Don't ever think I'm using your time just to forget or put off anything with anyone else."

He tries to say something, but I cut him off.

Listen muthfucka.

"Let me finish," I sign.

I'm irked as hell.

He sighs and looks at me side ways.

"And," I sign with strength.

He stuffs his hand in his pockets, waiting on me.

"And, at the end of it all you were my friend before this shit even came about. I would never use you knowing how our friendship is set up right now... with that being said I still have feeling for Dimitri," I explain.

I put my hands down and wait for him to say something. He just stands there.

Hmm?

I can't read his expression.

He steps up to me and pulls me into a hug. It takes me a second to relax in his arms. He lets go a little and looks at me.

I feel my hands get shaky.

He leans down and kisses me lightly.

I lift my hands to pull him to me more but I stop myself.

Well.

He shivers in the cold and I notice his nose turning red. I smile at him and he laughs a little bit.

"We should be heading back," he says.

"You're right," I tell him.

"I'll be here despite what you do. Or at least I'll try to."

We start walking again.

"And for that you and Dan will stay my number ones."
