The Promises He Made

^Chapter 5^

Chanelle's p.o.v

Tamia And I got home after a few hours of practice try outs. Tamias probably used to it. But my body was aching! Oh well it better get used it. After tryouts we grabbed some wingstop since it was just around the corner from the doll house. I took the fastest shower in history! Tamia did too. I crashed on my bed and buried my face deep in the pillows. Tamia crashed beside me and I decide I'll tell her, now. I never keep big secrets. Because I have a very guilty conscious and believe it or not if I keep a secret I do crazy things. Like sleep walk, talk in my sleep, random mood swings, big eating habits. Etc. I rolled over and looked at her.

"T, I got to tell you something." I say cautiously.

She peeks her head from between her arms and looks at me. She nods for me to continue. "We'll see what had happened was... I was jogging earlier, you know how I do. And i met this boy. He was fine and what not. We got to talking and he asked for my number. And me being the nice girl I am. I gave it to him. But I forgot to ask him his name. So when he was walking away and I asked him. He said his name was Hakeem."I say the last part lowly. She popped up and looked at me like she was finna slap the hell outta me.

I wish she would!

"Nelle? Didn't we tell you about him. He is nothi-" she starts. But I cut her off. "I don't think their the same person, to be real witchu. This Hakeem was nice, cool, fine, and flirty. Not; you fine, I'm fine, let's go somewhere and fuvk." I explain. She sighs and sits her head back down.

"We'll see. Him and his crew should be at school Monday. Then we'll find out." She says rolling over. I hug her from behind. "I'm sowwy!"I say in my baby voice. She can never get mad at me if I use my baby voice. My baby impression is SPOT ON.

"Whatever Nelle." She say tryna hide her smile. "Okay then." I say sitting on her back. She groaned dramatically. " get off uh me." She groans with her face in a pillow.

"I'm not getting up until you say 'I love Chanelle Brookes'!" I taunt her.

She turned her head over, and stuck and blew her tounge at me. "No!" She yells. I start to bounce on my butt and chant. "Say it! Say it! Say it!" She laughs before saying. "I love Chanelle Brookes!" She laughs making me stop.

"Gurl me too!" I say jokingly.

I hopped off her and turn the tv on. I switch the source to HDMI2 and press play. Dayvon hooked my DVD player up earlier. I already knew what movie was in there. The same one that's always in there. One of Tamia and I's favorite movies. I skip all the previews and trailers and turn to the main menu. I look at Tamia and watch her expression as the movie menu starts.

"Hell yeah!" Tamia says once it starts. I laugh at her enthusiasm and stupidity, as we began to watch.

"Blue power mutha fuvkas! Miami P.D!!!" "Ah, damn! It's the niggres." We mocked Bad Boys two. The way Martin pronounced nigger always makes Tamia crack up. We know this movie word for word and breath for breath. When we were younger and we'd go to eachothers houses to spend the night, we'd watch this movie over and over! And you'd think we've never seen it with the way we watch it. We watch it intensely!

"Me? I shot you? Shootin. Yeah I did a lot of shooting. I mean I'm not sayin I shot you. I mean I'm not sayin I didn't shoot you... But dayyyum!!!!! Somebody shotchu' in the ass!" We crack up with Will.

"hehe these niggas be trippin, huh" I say between laughs. Tamia nods and laughs at the same time.

We watch it until the part where they were dancing and breaking all his stuff in the shack thingy, before we fell asleep. We fell asleep sometime around 10:00 or 11:00. It's unusal because you know how when you know you have to wake up early but yo body wanna do its own thing and not cooperate. So you end up stayin up all night? That's me all day. So I'm surprised i was able to drift off that soon. Maybe that dancing and bucking wore me out.
