Ariel

The Next Day

I was so embarrassed y walking in on them that I called Alex and he picked me up. I woke up in his bed alone, but I could smell food coming from downstairs. I downstairs in my pajamas and saw a man who looked just Alex, but his hair was longer and he didn't have glasses. I knew it was his father because Alex had showed me a picture of his family before his mother died. His mom was Black and his father was Samoan and Hawaiian, which is the reason why Alex is so light with curly hair. His little sister name is Atari and she's 13.

"Good morning Ariel, Alex left you some clothes in the bathroom with hygiene products. He will be back shortly."

"Thanks, Mr. Douglass."

"Any time and call me Tari, it makes me feel old."

I laugh with him then turn and go back upstairs. I go into the bathroom inside of Alex's room and I see a radio so I turn it on. Beyonce's Drunk In Love comes on and I rap with Jay-Z. I strip out of my clothes but not before locking the bathroom. It's not that I don't trust Tari but I'm not taking chances. I turn on the water and wait until it's hot enough. I got inside and let the water hit my body. I hear Jhene Aiko's voice play in the background. The lyrics reminding me of King, making me cry.

Tell me what you say now?
Tell me what you say
Come again?

If you cannot stay down
Then you do not have to pretend
Like there is no way out
I shoulda never let you in
Cause you got me face down

And don't take this personal
But you're the worst
You know what you've done to me
And although it hurts I know
I just can't keep runnin' away

[Hook:]
I don't need you [x4]
But I want you
I don't mean to [x4]
But I love you

Tell me what you say now
Tell me what you say?
You said that you would come again
You (said) that we would remain friends but
You know that I do not depend on
Nothing or no one
So why would you show up
So uninvited then
Just change my mind like that

Please don't take this personal
But you ain't shit
And you weren't special
Til I made you so
You better act like you know
That I've been through worse than you
I just can't keep running away
(But I don't need you)

[Hook]

Everybody's like
He's no item
Please don't like em
He don't wife em
He one nights em
I never listened
No
I shoulda figured though
All that shit you was spittin'
So unoriginal
But it was you
So I was with it
Then tell you the truth
Wish we never did it

Cause I usually do
Stick to the business
But you came out the blue
And then you just flipped it
God damn baby
My mind's blown
Be forgettin'
You live in a different time zone
Think I know what this is
It's just the time's wrong
Yeah I know what you did
But baby I'm grown
And my love is patient
And kind, and shit
This is real we can build
Through different types of shit
If you was really the realest
Wouldn't be fightin' it
I think your pride is just
In the way
Funny how everything changed
Once you got all that you wanted
Nothing was ever the same

[Hook:]
And though
I don't need you [x4]
I still want you
I don't mean to [x4]
But I love you

I don't need you [x4]
But I want you
I don't mean to [x4]
But I love you

I don't want to love King, but I do. I hope Alex will help me get over him. The water begins to go cold, so I get out and dry myself with the fluffy pink towel. I put on my Sweet Pea lotion and my lace underwear. I then put on my long blue and black sundress, with my black blazer. I then strapped my black sandals to my feet. I don't know what to do with my hair so I put it in a messy bun on the top of my head. I walked out the bathroom and Alex was putting on his shoes.
