chapter 11

Kiari Xavier Grey | Ki

9:20pm

Walking into my house I quickly unlock the door just wanting to go to sleep from all of this practice from today.

It's been a few days from the game and couch has just really been working us because of how we "embarrassed him" that last game but it was really all Draco.

Ian give a fuck because when I'm in playing mode all that outside drama and beef is out the window but Draco ass still holding grudges like someone give a fuck.

Getting into the shower I wash and throw on my clothes then call Isaiah because where is this nigga at.

"What?" He asks as I put the phone on speaker.

"Where the hell you at, you was just behind me following me home." I spoke into the phone.

"I'm at america best wings getting food dad, is that ok with you or I need to ask for permission?" He says in the phone making me smack my lips.

"Stop playing with me. Get me some buffalo wings and fries." I say before hanging up.

Sitting on my bed I pull my phone out going and instagram and instantly roll my eyes.

Here Aaliyah ass go steady throwing shade on her story about me. She's been doing this shit the last few days- matter fact she does this shit every time she gets mad at me but never delete the photos of me on her account but claims were so broken up.

Like I love Aaliyah but I just don't think we're going to work out anymore. I try and try with her but she just likes the toxic stuff and I'm just not going for it, like it's to the point where my feelings for her are just slowly going away.

I knew Aaliyah for a long ass time even before we got in a relationship, she was my friend and she was my sister friend, she was someone I could always talk to and then we started messing with each other and eventually got into a relationship during the summer of our sophomore year in college.

But I'm not with the her breaking up with me all the time like imma chase her and I'm definitely not with the her telling people I chase her because you'll never catch me chasing a girl.

I cant even see my self ever doing that shit so I don't know why she tells people that when she's the one that always calls me. I gave up on calling her when she breaks up with me because i know eventually she'll call anyways.

And besides basketball is here so I don't even need to be worried or stressed about no girl.

And I don't like the way she gives my sister dirty looks. People who doesn't know me or my sister may think our relationship is off because the way we talk to each other, but if you do know me and sister than you'll know I don't play about her.

she's my only sibling, she's annoying as fuck but I love her and if it wasn't for her I don't even know if I would be here, shit if it wasn't for her I wouldn't be here.

Hearing the door open I know that it's Isaiah with my food.

Closing my phone I walk into the kitchen.

"Isaiah what you know about Riani." I question because she's been on my mind for some time now.

"No hey? How am I doing? How was my day?" He mugs me eating his food making me mug him back.

"What you know about Riani." I ignore him and ask again.

"Riani?" He furrows his brow.

"Yes, isn't she your quote on quote bestie?" I say starting on my food.

"Yes...why you want to know about my bestie. You like her or something." He pauses looking at me for a second before eating again.

Shaking my head. "No I got a girlfriend. I just want to know a few things. She got a boyfriend?" I question.

"No she's single but I don't think she's interested in dating anyone. She usually goes for personality and yours is ass." He says and I actually got offended by that.

"How you know she isn't interested in anyone."

"Oh so you're interested in her?" He grins.

"Nigga what are you talking about." I furrow my brows because he's actually twisting the fuck out of my words.

"You wouldn't ask about her if you didn't." He shrugs.

"I don't like her nigga. I got a girlfriend and her ass be on some crazy ass shit when I even breathe next to a girl." I shake my head.

"Mannn Aaliyah green ass don't be on shit."

"Ion know but I do know she harass any damn girl I even talk to."

"Then just break up with her? Like what the fuck, you obviously losing feelings for her so what's the problem." He says borely but he don't understand either.

"I tried breaking up with her and you know I did but every time I do her ass starts randomly popping up everywhere I go like some stalker."

"No let's be real right now Kiari. You be the one calling her ass right back once you get bored and want some pussy." He kisses his teeth at me.

"No I don't." I mug him.

"So why once you tell me she broke up with you a few weeks ago, a few days later I see her ass sneaking out the door late at night." He raises a brow.

Ok maybe he is right...but it's also like this, people always and I mean always assume and thinks I'm a whore simply because girl are always going back and telling people I fucked them, did I fuck them? Hell no. But I never went out of my whole damn way to tell every single last person that I didn't fuck them. When people directly come up to me and ask then of course I deny that shit. That's why when I am in that mood I always call Aaliyah because I don't just like fucking anybody. Did I use to? I very much did when I was younger. I did hella shit when I was younger but I'm a changed ass man now.

But I do see how that is a big problem.

"Wanna see different girls or the same girl?" I question.

"And you won't ever get rid of that same girl if you keep that shit up and I be seeing you sneak glances at Riani, but your also not about to play Riani with that bitch ass girl Aaliyah because Riani doesn't deserve that." He shakes his head at me.

"Play? Wait you think imma cheater?" I raise my brow.

"You use to be a bitch ass cheater before Aaliyah so I don't know." He shrugs.

"Nigga I been stopped cheating before Aaliyah ass. Im starting to lose feelings for Aaliyah but you don't see me cheating though?"

"Can't say the same for Aaliyah."

"If I ever see Aaliyah cheat on me then it's completely done for her ass." I seriously say because number one you ain't about to embarrass me number two you ain't about to beg and chase me then whole time u cheating and third I don't cheat my damn self so hell nah.

"Yall don't see even talk shit out when yall break up. Yall just got straight to fucking thinking it's solving something when really it's making it worse." Isaiah then goes on again.

"You right I guess." I mumble as he got up and walked back to his room.

Hearing a knock at the door I was skeptical at first but open it always.

"What you want Aaliyah." I look at her funny.

"You don't be seeing my post on instagram? Why you don't say anything." She mugs me.

"You're irritating as hell. Like the shit that you do is childish. " I say making her fold her arms.

"Oh so now I'm a fucking problem?"

"Yes you are." I bluntly say.

"Boy if you don't open this door and let me in. You're just in your feelings because of the post I be making about you." She waves me off and pushes past me and into the house.

"No Aaliyah I barely even read them. I just think we should break up. like for real." I say but she just looks unbothered and sits on the couch.

"You say that so many times but always run back to me. Kiari we are just made for each other I don't know what you don't understand? You know I use to always be there for you when you had nobody to talk to. And now you think we gone break up because of some silly little argument?" She folds her arms.

"These 'silly little arguments.' Are beginning to be too much for me. You get mad at me for no reason like every other week. This shit is toxic." I kiss my teeth.

"Ok then I won't get mad anymore but we're not breaking up."

"You can't just tell me we're not breaking up? If I want to break up then that's that." I say starting to get irritated because dont tell me what to do.

"You're just in your feelings. Come here." She pulls me next to her.

"I'm sorry for everything ok? You know I'm always here for you. Let's just forget and move on. Remember everything you told me about your dad? About your past and everything, we share so much stuff together and us just breaking up over something so dumb is not worth it." She says holding my hands and looking at me and i couldn't tell if she seriously wanted to rework this relationship or not but she was right.

I done told her my whole life story it would be dumb to break up over something like that.

"I love you. Do you love me Kiari?" she ask me and i take a second to answer.

"Mhm." I hum nodding.

"Ok then. we love each other so we can't just break up like that." she says.

"Alr, but if you're not serious about actually trying to save this relationship then- shh I am I am." She says kissing me and then pulling my hand to go upstairs.
