The Promises He Made

^Chapter 19^

"You ain't tell Tamia we was together?!" Hakeem semi yells back.

"I forgot!!! She's been sick for a while and I haven't talked to her in like a week." I play with my hands.

"Damn. She gon whoop yo ass." Hakeem shakes his head.

"She gon try." I sigh.

"Well, come on. Let's not think about that. Like what we said its our relationship. Fuvk what everybody else got to say. And if Tamia love you like she claim, she'll be happy for you. For us." He kisses my lips softly.

"Alright." I sigh as we pay for our tickets and enter the theater.

We went and saw 'Get Hard'. It was way funny. Well to me. Afterward he took me to an Olive Garden that was across the street. I ate good!! Then we went to Coldstone. After that we went home but I kept thinking bout Tamia. She HATES Hakeem. And she gon be pissed we together. Well at least I think she will be. But she loves me like no other so she'll Be happy. Right? Ugh! Iont know. I hope so. It doesn't matter anyway. I need to stop lettin people get to me.

"Damn babe. This ice cream is good as hell. Try some." Hakeem says as he holds his spoon to my mouth. I laugh as I take a bite and it was pretty good.

"It's fire right?" He smiles. I furrow my eyebrows.

"How can ICE cream be fir-" I began.

"Shut up! You know what I mean." He cut me off making me laughing. Stupid.

"Hey so when does your show come on?" I ask out of the blue. We haven't talked much about it but I want him to know he has my support. 100%.

"On January 7. January 8 we have a carpet event you wanna come?" He asks.

"No!" I shove a spoonful of ice cream in my mouth.

"Why not?" He asks confused.

"Why would I? So that I can be called a gold digger. Or I'm in it for fame? Nuh uh. This relationship stays between us. That's all." I say.

"Aight fine. So you ain't gon tell Tamia?" He asks folding his arms. I froze. "That's different, she family." I play with my hands.

"Yeah whatever." He laughs. "Shut up!" I wipe ice cream on his nose.

"You ain't just do that." He glares at me with an evil smirk. My eyes widened slightly as I look at him.

"AHHHHHHH!!!!!" I scream running away from him.

-Two weeks later-

"Aight so what we need to talk about?" Tamia asks sniffing. She just getting over her cold. But she still has a runny nose and a little cough.

"Umm. Look I'm just gon say it.......... Hakeem and I are together." I sigh waiting for her reaction. She just sat there.

"I know." She looks at me. I look at her confused.

"You know?"

"Yes Chanelle. I know. I have social media. I seen all yall pictures on Instagram and stuff. I seen he changed his status. I seen his cover photo is you. And to top it all off, Trey told me." She explains.

Well ain't that a Bitvh?! I feel dumb.

"Trey? What does he have to do with anybody relationsh- wait a minute... Yall together aren't you?" I raise an eyebrow. She smirks hard.

"Yes!!" She smiles harder making me laugh.

"Oh my god!! You hoe, why you ain't tell me?" I hug her.

"I knew you was gon tell me about you and Hakeem. So I thought when you told me, I'd tell you." She smiles.

"Oh this is great. We can double date, have movie nights and stuff like that.." Tamia suggests.
