THE CONNECTION .

CHAPTER XXI

The next morning .. 7:20 AM.

I ended up sleeping over there.
And before y'all jump to conclusions , no I did not have sex with TJ.
Did I want to?
Yes.
All we did was clean up his face , watch movies , and talk.
And even if me and him would've had sex , I would've been thinking about Dezmon the whole time.

I woke up and checked my phone.
I had a text from Keon.

I got up and got in the shower.
I always kept extra clothes in the linen closet at Ki'moura house.
I got dressed and tried to fix my hair.
I laid on the bed and cuddled with TJ's sleeping body while I waited for Keon to text me.

TJ turned around and seen that I was dressed.

"Where you going?" He asked.
"Out to breakfast with a few friends."I said while I picked at my nails.
"You'n even got no friends." TJ laughed as he turned around to face me.
I smacked him in his arm.
"Well damn thanks for letting me know." I laughed back.
He wrapped his arm around my waist and pulled me in closer.
"But um , I met some people at a party last night and they seem pretty cool so we're going to breakfast." I said as I rubbed my nails on his face.
"You gon bring me something back?" He asked.
"Sure baby .. anything you want." I said.
"Damn boy , I love you." He quickly said.

Y'all already know .. I don't love TJ.
I just love everything on him.
His face , his body , his dick , his feet , all of that.
But what am I supposed to say to that?
I don't love him ..
Right when I was about to lie to TJ and tell him I love him too , Keon texted.

"Baby I gotta go , ima see you later when I bring you back some food." I said as I gave him a kiss and grabbed my purse.

I walked out the house and got in the car.
I drove to the diner.
I got out out the car and seen Keon sitting on the hood of his car , smoking a blunt.
I walked over to him.

"Heyy bitch." I said as I hugged him.
"Hey hoee. Here. " He said as he passed me the blunt.

I took a pull of the blunt.
Dezmon walked out the Diner.
He grabbed the blunt out my hand.

"Boy I know damnwell!" I said.
"Yes I did and what?" Dezmon said , laughing.
"Don't get fucked up boy." I laughed.
"Who gon do it?" He asked as he took a pull.
"Me bitch." I snapped back.

He playfully smacked me.

"Watch ya fuckin mouth lil boy." He said.
"And if I don't?" I said smartly.
He grabbed me by my throat and brought my face close to his.
"OOP!" Keon said.
"Stop playin with me aight?" He said , licking his lips.
"Aight .." I said softly , staring him in his eyes.

He let me go and took another pull of the blunt.
He ashed the blunt and we went in the diner.
We sat at the booth and started looking at the menu.
Dezmon sat right next to me.
Demony started texting me.

What situation?
The fact that he beat up TJ?
Or the fact i'm not fw Clay no more?
OR the fact that I haven't been home ?
I don't even know honestly.
I just wanna eat and not worry about my outside life.

"So what y'all getting?" Keon asked.
"Bitch I want Catfish and Waffles." I said.
"Ouu that sound good as hell. Dez what you getting?" Keon said.
"Um prolly some Chicken and Waffles. Ion want no damn catfish." Dezmon said.
"Nigga , catfish is good as fuck. You gon try some of mine." I said.
"Ion want none of that shit!" Dezmon yelped.
"I don't give a fuck! You gon eat a lil bit of it."
"Tae I do not want that shitt! Please?" He pleaded.
"No , you gon eat a piece of it. End of conversation." I said as I folded the menu up.

He sucked his teeth and rolled his eyes.
He started pouting his lip.

"You'll be okay , big baby." I said as plucked his lip.

30 minutes later ..

The lady brought our food out.

"Um so .. I was wondering if I could get your number." The waiter said to Dezmon as he sat the plate on the table.
"Sure." Dezmon said as the boy pulled his phone out.

Was I upset?
A lil bit.
Was I gonna make sure I had Dezmon reeled in by the time we leave here , hell yes.
Dezmon gave the boy his number and the boy walked away.
TJ called me.
I didn't wanna answer at first but I did.

"Yes baby?" I asked.
"Yo when you coming back to the crib? We gotta talk." He said , sounding like he was mad.
"Um .. I don't know? What we need to talk about?" I questioned.
"Don't worry about it , just bring yo ass home. Now." TJ said right before he hung up.

I was hella confused.
That phone call just made me wanna take the food home and see what his issue is.
But no , i'm gonna eat out with my friends like I want to.
Don't no nigga run shit around here.
Especially not no nigga who i'm just using for dick.
Good ass dick ..
TJ is dickley blessed lmfaoooo.

"Child who was that?" Keon asked.
"Um .. nobody." I said as I started picking at my food.

In Keons mind ..
Was he just on the phone with the nigga that blacked his eye?
Although I just met Taven , I feel a strong friendship connection between us.
I wanna save him from whatever he's in.
Domestic violence , SA , whatever it is.
