Authentic Love

Chapter 17

A'Nae

I think I know the girl Corahn is crushing on.... I just don't know if I'm for sure. It still makes me mad that he hasn't even told me yet, but I guess its whatever. Imma let him do him and when the time comes from when he wanna tell me, he'll tell me.

It’s also been a week since I talked to Vahji. I wasn't playing when I told him not to waste his breath on me. When he tries to talk to me, I just walk off or ignore him. He says he wants a second chance to prove that he's different, but I haven't seen any progress. He still messes with Ahleeya like its nothing, when he catches something he gonna wish what they did was nothing.

He makes me mad and confused and I just don't know what to do. I thought when Vahji finally talked to me and we started talking on a different level that I would never let him go, but y'all see how all of that is going on. He doesn't know how to stop and think of the consequences. He just lives in the moment and living in the moment is never a good thing to do.

I don't know maybe I'm just asking for too much from him you think? Like, I want him to change his ways over night and nobody can change overnight. I took things further than what I should have. I don't regret how I handed things cause A'Nae lives a life with no regrets, but still..

I think I blew it out of proportion. I mean he was right we aren't dating, but it was the simple fact that you were trying to have a relationship with me. That's what f****d me up right there.

I heard a knock at the door and went downstairs to answer it. Mama was at work ONCE AGAIN! She’s gonna work herself to death and I can't be having that, I need her. I know I still have dad, but a daughter needs her mama in her life.

I opened the door and incomes Tisha, Ace, Kenny and Vahji.... Corahn must be with his mystery girl. I let everybody in and mean mugged the hell out of Ace. I don't like him. I don't care if he is apart of the crew. He was cool before I admit that, but the way he be treating Tisha is a no no from me.

Everybody goes into the living room and I walk into the kitchen to get some snacks for their fat asses. I was looking in the cabinet when I felt hands go around my waist. I turn around and face Vahji.

"Can we talk?" He asked me in his sexy voice. Man, I missed his voice it's crazy. Then he got this kinda accent too!

"We talking right now, what do you want?"

"I miss you girl." He so call confesses.

"Haven't seemed like it. Seem like you been to busy with Ahleeya."

"Man A'Nae ain't nobody worrying about her. I'll drop every girl to be with a woman like you. I'm forreal ma, I put that on my thug status." He said. I had to laugh at the last part though. Thug status? This boy is too much.

"You got a pretty smile girl."

"You the one to talk... but I guess I can give you another chance. f**k this one up there might not be anymore chances baby boy." With that I walked into the living room with all the snacks in my hand and sat them on the table.

Vahji pulled me in his lap and I leaned back into his chest. Even though we ain't together together. It still feels like it.
