Saving The World While Falling For Your Bestfriend Is Hard

Chapter 14

“At least we know where our families are” I said while making the slow trek back to the house

“Where” Shan asked distractedly as he helped Whitney walk

“Fist of god or whatever that means” Lala mumbled

Everyone was pretty much stumped as to what it could mean but it was clear as day to me. For just that moment I felt slightly superior.

“We’ll figure that out later” Whitney said as we walked up the street to Lala’s house.

“Finally I'm smarter than all of you” I said slightly skipping ahead.

“Please enlighten us” Lala said as she unlocked the front door.

“Holes” I said as if it was obvious as to what I was talking about

“Excuse me” Lala said with an eyebrow raised.

“The movie” I said clarifying

I walked over to the movie cabinet and opened up the glass case. I made a mental note to thank Lala later for having her DVDs in alphabetical order. I skimmed past the discs until I reached the H’s.

“Eureka” I said when I spotted the movie.

"Really” Whitney said

“Just watch the movie while I go take a nap” I told them tossing the DVD on the couch.

I slowly climbed the stairs up to Lala’s room. I could feel the previous activities had taken a toll on my body. As I entered her room I kicked my shoes off and crawled into her bed. A dreamless sleep overtook me. I don’t know how long I slept but I was awoken to the heavenly sound of my wife’s voice. I opened my eyes and looked for the source of my wife Nicki Minaj voice. Turns out Lala’s phone was ringing.

“Hello” I said groggily into the phone

“Damn you sound sexy” the female voice purred back at me

“I also have the looks to match” I smiled cockily even though she couldn’t see me

“Do you know who you’re talking to?” she asked

“What are you wearing?” I asked ignoring her question

“Forward much” she said chuckling

“Ryan get up” Lala said walking into the room

“Hold on I’m on the phone” I said speaking to Lala

“Yes my phone” she said putting emphasis on the my

“Who is that?” the girl on the line asked

“Who is it” Lala asked me seconds later

“I don’t know” I answered honestly

“Read the caller id” Lala said successfully making me feel like an idiot again

“It says my everything” I said with a befuddled look

“Give me” she said hurriedly trying to snatch the phone out my hand

“I thought I was your everything” I said pouting

“No your name is saved under Daddy with a wink” she said with a hint of a smile on her lips

“Oh yeah” I said chuckling at the day I changed my name in her phone

Lala successfully snatched the phone from me and you could see her whole body language change. She went from sad and droopy to happy and perky. I had never seen her act like this. Maybe it was her girlfriend. But she isn’t gay. I had no idea who made her feel like that.

“Racheal said ya’ll will finish that convo later” Lala told me bringing me out my mental rant.

With that she walked out the room to continue her conversation in private. The moment she left my heart started to ache. Whoever “Racheal” was made her happier than I ever had. I could see it in her eyes when she went to pass the message on. Most people would be happy for their best friend but I wasn’t. It wasn’t fair that I couldn’t make her that happy. In other words I was going to be one pissed fucker for the rest of the night. I hopped out of bed and snatched another shirt of mine out of Lala’s bottom drawer and went outside. It probably wasn’t a good idea for me to be outside when I was feeling like this but I couldn’t contain myself. I needed to talk to someone. Someone who knew about my feelings. Someone who wouldn’t judge me. Someone who would automatically take my side. Someone I could have sex with after we finished talking. Someone like Alex. My body clearly knew something my mind didn’t because I was already headed in the direction of her home. I walked up to her house and knocked on the door.

“Ryan I was just…” she started but was cut off by the anger in my eyes

“What’s wrong?” she asked completely concerned

“It’s hard enough saving the world but now I have to save the world while turning my best friend straight”

 “Why would you say that?” she asked

“Because I seen the way she lit up when a girl called Racheal called her” I told her quickly

“Umm Ryan” Alex said

“Its not fair” I said continuing my ramble

“Ryan”

“Am I not good enough?” I asked cutting her off again

“Ryan” she said for the third time trying to get my attention

“What” I asked finally completely my ramble

“Say my name” she said looking me dead in the eye

“Alex we have a crisis going on and you want me say your name. I knew you was a freak but damn” I said

“My full name is Alexandria Racheal Tyler” she said ignoring my little outburst

“Im not seeing the point” I told her

“My middle name is Racheal. I just got off the phone with La’Bria” she told me with a duh look

This was meant to put me at ease but it did the exact opposite.

“Great so your messing around with me and Lala” I said dramatically

“Im not messing around with her” she said regretfully as if she wanted to

“OK” I said dropping the subject for now

“Why are you here again?” she asked

“I needed to vent” I told her honestly

“Are you finished?” she asked with a mischievous glint in her eye

“Yes” I said giving her the famous Ryan smirk

“So get the hell out” she said playfully

“But I was serious when I asked what were you wearing” I said remembering the conversation

“Sweats and a tank. ” she said stating the obvious.

This was meant to turn me off but it did the opposite. I loved a woman who could dress and get all pretty but I sometimes found it more of a turn on if she was chilling in sweats and a tee. Easy access. Even though she was laying in her bed there was still enough room for me stretch out comfortably next to her.

“Under that” I said sitting up and pulling her in between my legs

She stood there motionless as I lifted her shirt and kissed her sexy little stomach. I kissed each of the four pecs then made my way up to her neck where a soft moan came from her.

“No not today” she said gently pushing my chest

“Why not” I said stomping my foot like a child

“Because I cant” she said giving me a bullshit answer

“Fine then” I said walking into the kitchen with her hot on my heels.

She thought I was going to get something to eat but I was secretly devising a plan. A plan where she wouldn’t be able to resist me
