Authentic Love

Chapter 7

A'Nae

I'm starting to think that Vahji is feeling me a little bit you know? Like, he occasionally flirts with me. I try to act like I don't want him, but I think he already knows and that's why he does it. Talia's been really distant towards Vahji lately.... like she has something to tell him, but doesn't know how to say it. Whatever, she better speak up before it's too late.

Right now i'm at Vahji's house with Tisha, Vahji and Ace. Tisha and Ace are making out. Surprise, surprise and I'm sitting next to Vahji on the other couch watching tv. I'm not pretty sure what's on, but it's good. All of a sudden I felt a arm go around my shoulder and Vahji scoot closer to me. I turn my head to look at him and his lips smashed into mine. Next thing you know were full on making out with each other on his couch. I can't believe this is really happening. We pull apart and his phone starts ringing. I look over at Tisha and her and Ace are just staring back at me not saying anything. I shook my head and they went back to what they were doing before.

"Alright Talia... baby.... babe.... okay! Shut the f**k up Talia damn! Whatever man, bye." Vahji spoke harshly to Talia and hung up. I bet she's bawling her eyes out right now. Not that I care. Vahji put his hand on my thigh and started rubbing his thumb in circles. Why is he being so touchy all of a sudden towards me? He leaned closer to my ear. "I know you want it." He whispered. I pushed him away and removed his hand from my thigh. He put it back and started rubbing circles against my thigh again.

"Why are you doing this Vahji?" I whispered to him.

"Because I know you want me A'Nae." He whispered back with confidence, cocky.

"You have a girlfriend and a baby on the way." I spat out at him.

"What she doesn't know won't hurt her." He whispered seductively in my ear. I pushed his head back and he grabbed my wrist.

"What the f**k did I tell you about putting you damn hands on me A'Nae?" He asked gripping my wrist. He was doing a little too much for a little push to the head.

"f**k you Vahji!" I yelled at him. He released my wrist and I ran out the house, got in my car and drove home. I can't believe he really tried to pull some s**t like that. He must be out of his damn mind. Then Tisha just gonna sit there looking shocked? What the hell is wrong with everybody today?

**********************

I got out the car and made my way into school. I did not feel like coming to school today, but if I wanted to leave Texas and make a way for myself I have no choice but to go to school. When I walked in the school I went straight to my locker walking past Vahji's crew. Well, I guess I can call it mine now to since i'm in it. I wasn't ready to face Vahji after what had happened last night.. I still can't believe that took place though forreal.

I unlocked my locker, took out my book bag and locked it back, I was dressed down today in some sweats and t-shirt, socks and slides. I turned around and Talia was behind me with her eyes all puffy and red, okay?

"What do you want Talia? I'm not in the mood today and I will bust your mouth open, so save yourself the pain." I told her truthfully. I wasn't in the mood today. Not after what happened last night.

"I just wanna apologize to you. I guess you can say I was jealous of you. Look at you, you're gorgeous. I guess I was feeling a little insecure. I don't want any hard feelings so.... you accept my apology?" She had asked me. She was jealous of me? That's crazy, I don't think she should be jealous of me she’s gorgeous herself, but whatever.

"Yeah I accept, but why you look like you were crying?"

"Vahji broke up with me this morning." I was shocked as hell. He really broke up with her? This nigga has been doing some crazy s**t lately.

"What else had happened?" I could already tell it was deeper then him just breaking up with her.

"I told him that the baby wasn't his. He told me I was just another b***h and don't come asking for help with the baby. I'm still allowed to hang around yall, so I guess that’s a plus. I know you like him too, so you can have at it." Wait the baby isn't Vahji's? I knew some s**t was up, but never that.

"Mmmm yeah, I’m going to have to pass on him. He ain't what I need right now." and it was true he wasn't. He lets his anger get the best of him and he can do and say some hurtful s**t and I don't need that.

Me and Talia head over to the crew and I give everybody a hug besides Vahji's ass. He standing talking and feeling up on this girl. Wasn't you just kissing on me last night and didn't you just break up with Talia? Shake my head.... he's doing the most forreal. The bell rings and everybody goes their separate ways.... well me and Vahji have to go the same way.

"How you doing A'Nae?"

"Why are you talking to me Vahji?" I asked him with anger shown in my voice. He has the nerves.

"You still not stuck on last night are you? I broke up with Talia to be with you." No his ass didn't break up with her for me. If that was the case he wouldn't have been feeling on that other girl just a few minutes ago.

"Yeah I'm still stuck on last night. I mean do you not see these bruises on my wrist? Am I supposed to be happy you broke up with Talia? She needs everybody's support for real now, and no you didn't break up with her for me or you wouldn't have been feeling on that girl earlier. So... bye, I got a class to go to." and with that I walked inside the classroom and went to sit down. This dude must've been smoking some s**t before he came to school and started talking to me cause he trippin for real right now.

Vahji

I can't believe I bruised up her wrist. Well, she shouldn't have put her hands on me. Even though that's not an excuse. I really didn't break up with Talia for her. I just wanted to see how she would react. I am feeling A'Nae a little bit, but I don't think that my lifestyle is for her. I live the fast life. She seems like she's trying to get her s**t together. Plus, I don't know how to be in a committed relationship, you see how it went with Talia's hoeing ass. Done got pregnant by another nigga, but claimed she loves me oh so much. Whatever, I aint love her ass anyway. I can't love no other female anyway besides my grandma, auntie and cousin. They the only ones that's really been down for your boy even though they don't agree on what I do. them 9 to 5's wasn't working for me. I needed money and I needed it fast, so I became a drug dealer, a big one at that. I do admit that I need myself a Bonnie, but I don't think I could be someone's Clyde just yet…..
