Roommates

6

Off to college

Yes, you went away

Straight from high school

You up and left me

We were close friends

Also lovers

Did everything

For one another

Now you're gone and I'm lost without you here now

But I know I gotta live and make it somehow

Come back...to me

Can you...feel me (Callin')

Hear me...callin' (For you)For you...

'Cause it's

It's been too long and I'm lost without you

What am I gonna do?

Said I been needin' you, wantin' you

Wonderin' if you're the same and who's been with you

Is your heart still mine?

I wanna cry sometimes

I miss you

Khalil woke up and reached out for Jayla, but didn't feel her. He woke up and went to the bathroom to do her hygiene. When he walked into the kitchen, he saw Jayla standing over the stove cooking breakfast.

He leaned against the kitchen frame and just watched her. She was wearing jeans and a bra with her hair in a wet, messy bun.

After awhile of taking in her beauty, he walked up behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist and kissed her neck. "Good morning baby" he said while inhaling deeply and taking in her scent.

"Good morning" she said back smiling. She fixed Khalil a plate of food then fixed her own before sitting next to him at the island. "You have work or class today? " she asked biting into her crispy bacon.

"Naw you do?" she shook her head. "Good, I wanna take you out today"

"Where?" she asked with excitement in her eyes.

"It's a surprise so be dressed by 10." Jayla looked at the time and it was 8. She had enough time so they continued to talk until there was a knock at the door.

It was Michael. He greeted Khalil then walked into the kitchen and hugged Jayla.

"Damn them titties though" Micheal said eyeing Jayla's chest. He licked his lips while Jayla went to put on a shirt. Micheal walked into the living room with Khalil "Jayla is so fine bruh. It's ridiculous" he said shaking his head.

"Just chill with that. She taken" Khalil said as Jayla walked into the living room, over to him.

"By who?" Jayla kissed Khalil on the lips.

"Baby I'll be back, I have to talk to one of my administrators" he nodded and she walked out. Michael's mouth was nearly open as he looked at Khalil in shock.

"How you pull that nigga? Damn I give you props" he said dappin Khalil. "When all this happen?"

"Last night" he said shrugging. The men continued to talk for awhile longer.

"So you gon tell her about what we do?" Micheal asked. "Or your lil problem? "

"I will but no time soon. I want to know if this forreal or not. Feel me? I don't want to tell her if we won't be together no longer than a week"

"Ion know, I think she should know. Now that she with you, her life is in danger. I would tell her" Michael said.

"Naw not yet" Micheal dropped the convo as Jayla walked in and sat down next to Michael.

"Hey babes" Jayla said to Michael as she laid her head on his shoulder. He pushed her off. "Nigga what's your problem? "

"I'm not trying to get f****d up by your man, my face is too good looking, feel me?" Jayla laughed and layed back on his shoulder.

"Go get dressed, it's almost 10" Khalil told Jayla. She nodded before walking upstairs into her room.

She showered then got dressed. She didn't bother with her hair, she left it curly and sprayed herself with love spell. She grabbed her phone and walked downstairs to see Khalil changed and ready.

"Damn took you long enough" Micheal said.

"Sorry, I didn't think I took that long"

"Don't listen to him, you didn't take long baby. Come on" Khalil and Jayla walked out with Micheal right behind them.

"Oh and before I forget, we gotta roll out before 2" Micheal said looking at Khalil.

When Khalil caught what he ment, he nodded. Khalil opened the car door for Jayla and she thanked him before he walked over to his side and drove to their destination.

"I planned to spend all day out with you but I'm gonna have to cut our date short. Micheal and I got s**t to handle today" Khalil waited for Jayla to ask what they had to do, so he came up with a lie in his head.

"Ok baby, that's fine" Khalil looked at her then back to the road.

"You sure? You don't want to know what we have to do?"

"No, if you wanted me to know then you would have told me. Right?" she asked.

"Right" the rest of the ride was quite till Khalil pulled up to Game room Jayla chuckled as Khalil opened her door. "What?"

"It's been forever since I've been here. You want me to win you something? " Khalil grabbed her hand and their fingers entwined as they walked to the entrance.

"Shouldn't I be the one winning you things?"

"No baby, you see I was telling you I'm a beast at every game here without actually telling you."

Khalil laughed " Iight ma, we'll see about that" Khalil bought the couple tokens before Jayla pulled him over to a zombie shooting game. "Oh hell yea, you bout to get that ass beat" Jayla laughed and the game started.

"I think you cheated" Jayla said. Khalil put his arms around her waist and hugged her tight from behind.

"Naw baby, you just suck"

"Whatever but come on" Jayla pulled Khalil to a race car game. "Now it's time for me to show u how I do"

"Iight yea whatever ma, you just got lucky" Khalil said.

"Nope, that was all skill" She put her arm around Khalil waist while he put his hand in her back pocket. He bent down and kissed her lips softly.

"You hungry? " he asked already knowing the answer. Jayla can eat like the world is about to end.

"Yes, can we go to McDonald's on the way home?"

"Why?"

"It's almost time for you and Michael to go handle y'all business and I'm in the mood for a big mac"

In no time, Jayla and Khalil were pulling up to the house. Michaels car was already in the drive way. Khalil grabbed the bags while Jayla led the way inside to see Michael and Kevin in the living room watching tv.

"Hey KevKev, I missed you" Jayla said walking over and sitting next to Kevin. Kevin smiled and threw his arm over Jayla shoulder.

"I missed you too Jayla, so Micheal tell me that you and my boy together now" Jayla nodded. "What about us? I thought we had something"

Jayla shrugged. Khalil walked in and dapped the men and removing Kevin arm from around Jayla. Kevin mugged him. "Iight let's roll out, I'll see you later Jay" Micheal said before hugging her. Kevin did the same and followed Micheal out.

Khalil kissed Jayla "You'll be back for dinner?" she asked.

"Yea baby. I'll see you later"
