My sleep was disturbed by the rays of sunlight trickling through the curtains. It took me a minute to realize where I was. And who wasn't in the bed with me.
I shot up out of the bed. Haez was looking at me with only what I could assume was a smirk of amusement on his face.
"What? You thought I had left?" he asked, his smile growing ever wider. I rolled my eyes, laid back down in bed, and covered my face to hide my embarrassment.
The next thing I know, I have a man-sized weight pressing against the blanket. Haez yanked the cover over my face and gave me a quick peck on the lips.
Childish Ass
"I'm not that n*gga, shawty," he said as he got up.
I dramatically rolled my eyes again, failing miserably to hide the wide smile that had crept up on my face. Haez went back to getting ready. He pulled out a couple of articles of clothing, some shoes, and..another cell phone?!?!
I sucked in a gust of air
Shit
I feigned a loud yawn and began ungracefully stretching when my fake yawn became a real one. I heard him chuckle.
"You must have been really tired," he said as he buttoned up his shirt. I covered up another smile, "Why is that? Tried to wake me up?" I stretched again and sat up.
"Nah. Your phone was." he said, putting a leg inside a pair of shorts, then the other "It was ringing off da hook" he continued "You must have a fan club"
My smile faded immediately. I reached for my phone that was on the dresser and placed my thumb on the screen to unlock it.
The screen read:
'16 MISSED CALLS'
Shit!
One from Mom, one from Dad, and the rest from Barron.
SHIT
I told his ass I was going to be out with a business partner
SHIT SHIT SHIT
