☔︎

I closed my eyes sighing in relaxation as I relaxed onto my couch, I had just finished my shift and I was more than happy to be home. I haven't heard from Jazz or Riley since my break and I wasn't tripping for real... except the Riley part. I hated how she always came out of the blue, fucked me like she loves me, just to disappear again. Maybe I was looking to far into it since it has only been a few hours, I bit down on my bottom lip pulling out my phone.

I went to our message thread and decided to text her.

Me

Riley🥰

Riley🥰

Riley🥰

Me
K, done with you.

Riley🥰
That's fine.

I sighed and tossed my phone onto the table, this is why I don't let people touch me. I should've known better than to let a college student fuck me though, that's my own fault.

Before I could even sit in sadness for too much longer my doorbell went off, I quickly hopped up off the couch and walked over to the door looking out of the peep hole spotting Jazz. I sighed before opening the door, maybe her company wouldn't be that bad right now.

"You good?" She asked as I stepped aside letting her in, I nodded locking the door before going back to the couch sitting down. She followed me sitting awfully close to me throwing her arm behind me, so that I had no choice but to be in her arms. I sucked my teeth making her chuckle. "Why you always playing so hard to get with me?" She asked biting down on her bottom lip.

The sight of her grills made me smile a bit, and because I smiled, I couldn't help when it turned into a slight blush. "I don't be playing, I am hard to get." I responded shrugging, she smiled pulling me into her lap. I didn't fight it this time, I let it happen.

At first I was only really fighting it because of Riley, I didn't want Jazz but I guess she's cool. I just don't want to play with her feelings knowing that if Riley texted me back right now I would jump. That's not cool at all. "Who told you to do that?" I asked making a move to get up but she held me in place "Chill out, I came to take you out" she told me making me smile.

She was super sweet, but I still didn't want her. "Look Jazz, I appreciate you and your acts of kindness but I'm really not interested. I don't want to lead you on or anything, I'm not that type of person" I spoke genuinely, she sighed and nodded after a minute allowing me to get up, which I did and moved back to where I was originally sitting. We continued sitting in silence before she spoke up, "Well can we at least be friends?" She asked and I nodded.

"Of course, I don't have many friends." I responded truthfully, I could never keep a friend because they always wanted to fuck me. That's why I just stayed close to my siblings, & Marcus sister.

She seemed to like this answer because she smiled again making me smile "Bet, Can I still take you to the mall? Everything on me?" She asked and I nodded with quickness, I had already told her what it was, and she was still willing to blow a bag on me. Who was I to deny it?? I'm not that dumb. "Yes fasho" I responded making her laugh, "You think I should change?" I asked Jazz raising my eyebrow.

She shook her head no as she checked me out shamelessly, good thing I had showered and changed into some causal clothes after work. "Okay then, let me grab my purse and stuff and I'm ready." I told her and she nodded, I stood up from the couch and walked into my kitchen immediately spotting my keys and purse sitting on the table.

I grabbed both items before making my way back to a waiting Jazz, when she seen me she got up from the couch following me out of the front door. I made sure to lock it behind us and followed her over to her car, I smiled when she opened the door for me before climbing in.

"You're such a gentle lady." I laughed complimenting her when she got into the car, she laughed as well starting the car. "For you" she responded making me shrug, chile I guess.

After a while we arrived at the mall, we got out of the car and I instantly realized that we had parked right next to Riley's car. Isn't that some shit? I chuckled to myself as me and Jazz walked side my side into the mall "You good?" Jazz asked raising her eyebrow in confusion at me, probably because I randomly laughed at nothing in particular.

"Yeah, of course. Just seen something funny." I told her and she nodded still seeming confused, she then threw her arm over my shoulder pulling me closer to her. I shook my head not bothering to say anything at this point "Where you trying to go first?" She asked before glancing down at me, the sight was something.

"Let's go in kid's Foot locker, I need to get me and my baby some new kicks." I responded making her laugh "Ight but kicks is crazy" she said leading the way making me raise my eyebrow "How?" I asked flipping my hair over my shoulder as we walked into the store, "Because you could've just said shoes, don't nobody say kicks but old folks."

I shrugged "Oh well, I need to get me and my baby some new shoes." I responded making her chuckle "That's better" I blushed and walked over to the latest Jordan's raising my eyebrow, my baby already have everything in this store so there was no point in me getting her anything.

After Jazz helped me pick out some shoes, I walked over to the employee who had her back turned to me fixing some shoes on the wall. I cleared my throat as I approached her, "Excuse me" I spoke making her turn around, my heart damn near dropped "Oh, hey Keyonna." Riley smiled placing her hand on her hip.

Before I could say anything, Jazz walked up behind me wrapping her arms around my waist. At this sight, Riley's smile immediately dropped and her smile was replaced with a mug. "What can I help y'all with?" She spoke with her attitude clear as day, I smirked as an idea came to my head.

I looked back to Jazz and smiled, I guess she caught on because she leaned down putting her head on my shoulder rocking side to side a bit. "You can check and see if y'all got this in my girl size?" Jazz asked pettily, Riley looked as if she was ready to beat the fuck out of Jazz.

She looked between me and Jazz a few times before looking at Jazz's hands before looking dead in my face with the nastiest mug I ever seen. If looks could kill, Jazz and I would be six feet under.

Without looking away from me Riley smiled "No, we don't have those in our girl size." She responded making my mouth drop, instantly Jazz stood up tall balling her first up. "Fuck you say mane?" She asked moving me aside so that her and Riley was now face to face. I was too stuck to say or do anything.

"Nope, we don't have those in her size." Riley smiled pettily knowing that she had just gotten under Jazz's skin, I shook my head sighing as I got back in between the two of them. "How would you know if you didn't even check?" I asked making her roll her eyes "Uh because I work here" She said in a duh tone, I shook my head.

This bitch really a asshole for no reason. "Whatever, let's just go Jazz." I said handing Riley the shoes which she grabbed last minute before they hit the floor, I then grabbed Jazz's hand leading her out of the store as she fumed.

Once we made it to the food court, I ordered us both some food since she said it didn't matter. We then sat down at the table and Jazz finally spoke up "So y'all together?" She asked making me shake my head "No" I responded honestly, she nodded slowly taking a bite of her food. "So why you used me to make her mad?" She asked looking over at me.

I shrugged looking down at my nails before looking back up at her "Because she keeps playing with my feelings.." I mumbled in response, she nodded before chuckling. "So like y'all fucking or something? Cus it's something going on there." She asked and I paused for a second.

I could lie; because it's none of her business. Or I could be honest about the situation.. yeah ima do that. "Yeah, well it happened like twice." I spoke honestly, her face fell a bit but she tried to play it off with a small smile before nodding. "Oh ight, well you ready to go?" She asked making me nod "Yeah, I have to get my daughter soon."

She nodded and we got our food to go before leaving. Little did I know that Riley was plotting.
