Hate That I Want You

Chapter 4: Part 1

POV: Zane

“f**k!” I groaned as I woke up. 

My head was f*****g banging from all the drinking and smoking last night. After we left the club at three, we went to a little get together Blackjack and Deno’s people were throwing. We only stayed for an hour or so, but we smoke at least five blunts and took shots back-to-back. Kane had to drag my drunk ass to the truck, the last thing I remember was him tossing me into my room. 

I must’ve gotten in my bed at some point because he deadass threw me on the floor. I finished taking off my shirt and jeans, that were wrapped around my legs. I opened the door, and I could hear females talking. 

“I forgot they were coming over.” I said as I checked the clock. 

It was noon, so they had to been here for two hours by now. I didn’t sound like they were studying anymore either. I could hear some music playing under all the talk. I decided to take a quick shower to get the smell of alcohol and weed off of me. 

All the fellas clowned me because I didn’t get Amber’s number last night. I won the bet but ended up looking like a clown ‘cause everybody knew I went outside with her. Plus, they seen me get all on her in the car and still no digits. I’ve never had to work hard for a female in my life. Deno’s raggedy ass wouldn’t shut the f**k up about it, so I f****d his sister. 

I jumped out the shower and lotioned before taking care of my hair. I got my s**t looking right and tied on one of my durags. I brushed my teeth and headed to the closet for something to throw on. I decided to just wear some basketball shorts. As I walked downstairs, I realized they were in the pool. 

“This is not studying.” I laughed as I walked in the backyard. “Y’all didn’t get enough partying last night?” 

Kane had the grill going and the girls were in the pool on the floaties. Both of them had on bathing suits, which made me raise an eyebrow. Amber had on a jade green bathing suit, it was a one piece, but it was sexy as hell. The only skin covered was her titties and the fabric covered her belly button but exposed her hips. Her friend, I think Maddison, had on a similar one but in black. 

“We’re hungover.” Maddison laughed. “I called Kane to cancel but he told us to come over anyways and bring our bathing suits.” 

I looked over at my brother and he gave me a sly grin. This nigga is something else I swear, he always played the long game with females. Me, I just wanted to get it and that’s it. I could tell from last night he was feeling that Maddison girl. It was clear that she wanted him too and was not pulling punches. 

Amber hadn’t even looked at me since I stepped outside. But she was wearing these dark ass sunglasses, so I couldn’t tell whether she was looking at me or not. But I was openly checking her out, I don’t give a f**k. 

After she left me with her d**k head ass boyfriend, 

I became more interested. His punk ass ran in after her, but it was clear he was trying to make her jealous for the rest of the night. Plus, it turned me on not getting her number. 

“Are you going to get in Zane?” Maddison asked me. “Kane is being boring and BBQing instead of entertaining us.” 

“I’m almost done.” Kane chuckled. “You want me to burn this s**t?”

“We’re not even hungry!”

“Ya’ll will be soon enough, you said you didn’t eat this morning. I’m just tryna be a good host.” 

“See, Zane,” Maddison giggled, “He’s boring come join us.” 

“Let me go change.” 

I walked in the house and Kane wasn’t too far behind me. 

“I see what you doing nigga.” I laughed. 

“I’m not doing shit.” He laughed. 

“You tryna get me to get the friend, so you can swoop in on Maddison.” 

“I already got Maddy.” He said, pulling out wine coolers. “I just haven’t made my move yet.” 

I rolled my eyes, “What’s taking so long?” 

“Chill nigga,” He scoffed, “I actually like this girl, I’m not tryna get in and get out like you do.” 

“That’s the best way to go.” 

“s**t, that’s ‘cause you ain’t met the right one yet. Ain’t you tired of all these random bitches? You been doing this s**t forever!”

“Forever ain’t been long enough, bitches is clingy out here.” 

“Ain’t s**t wrong with a female other than mama worried about you.” Kane laughed, “I like getting those, are you hungry baby texts. And getting a chick that’s gon’ f**k me and feed me after.” 

“I can feed myself just fine.” 

Kane laughed, “Ain’t no talking to yo hoe ass, but watch. One day you gon’ meet a girl that’s just like you. And you gone be hurt as hell when she just uses you for dick.” 

I laughed, “Use me baby, I don’t give a fuck.” 

Kane laughed at me again as he carried a tin of wine coolers, water, and soda outside. I changed fast and went back out; Kane had taken the burgers off the grill and was now in the pool. It looked like he was having an easy time entertaining both of the girls, without Amber feeling like a third wheel. 

“Get in p***y boi!” Kane laughed as he splashed me. 

I flipped him off and jumped into the deep end of the pool, purposely getting everybody wet. 

“That’s f****d up!” Maddison said. 

Amber was just glaring at me from behind her sunglasses. I was kind of taken aback by how icy she was being towards me. 

Damn, she’s going to be harder to get than I thought. 

“What’s up, Amber?” I asked after I swam over. 

“Nothing.” Was her one-word reply. 

“Damn, Love, what I do already?” 

“You ain’t do s**t to her crazy ass, she’s just mad ‘cause her ex been blowing up her phone all day with his non-sense.” Maddison said. “Don’t be mean to him, Amber, it’s not like he’s Damion.” 

“You finally left your mans?” Kane asked, with a grin. “I thought y’all were for life?”

“f**k you, Kane.” Amber laughed, showing off her deep ass dimples. “He broke up with me and now he’s mad I don’t want him back.”

“From what it sounds like from last night, you’ve take him back before.” I interjected. 

She made a stank face at me, “I did but I’m not doing it twice, I should’ve listened to my daddy the last time.” 

Kane and I made eye contact; she was giving major daddy girl vibes. A lot of daddy’s girls we knew definitely knew how to make their men happy. But on the other hand, their standards are high as f**k, and are spoiled as s**t. I loved to chase a good daddy’s girl because they made me work a little bit harder, because pops put them on to game. But at the end they all crumbled and were left crying to daddy. 

“So, what’s the plan now?” I asked swimming to the edge of the pool. “Just gonna focus on school?” 

“Maybe, maybe not. Nothing’s caught my eye, yet.” Amber said tilting her sunglasses down and making eye contact. 

Oh, she’s trying to run game, I laughed in my head. 

“I thought you don’t play games?” I teased. 

“I don’t, unless you tryna play.” 

Kane started laughing, “Let me talk to you, Maddy.”
