"..I'm sorry I won't be able to come in today"
"It's okay. Just get well soon" David told me in a sympathetic voice through the phone
"I'll try" I sighed before hanging up and sat my phone down on the nightstand. I then looked down at Kentrell, who was asleep on me like a big ass baby, and blew out air
I don't know what in the hell happened but somehow Kentrell ended up sick and now he's acting like an even bigger baby than usual so I called out of work to stay home with him. At times it can be annoying but then again, I low key loved him being this clingy
"Kentrell.."
He didn't answer. I sighed and started playing with one of the twist he'd just recently had done in his head while he continued to sleep with his head on my chest. I couldn't even try to move at all because he had his arms wrapped around me so I was pretty much stuck
"Kentrell baby"
"Hmmm"
"You feeling any better?" I used the back of my hand to feel his forehead. His body temperature was extremely hot "we need to get you to a doctor"
"Goin' to no fuckin' doctor" he muttered while his eyes stayed close
"Well you obviously sick"
"I'll be Ight"
I rolled my eyes but I should've expected this. Kentrell is stubborn as hell and I know if he don't wanna do something, he's not gonna do it. Sick or not
I could hear the door open then close in the living room; Kendell's voice immediately followed
"Waddup bitches!"
My eyebrow immediately rose and Kendell made his way into the room with his book bag on and a bag of chips in his hand
"I could've sworn you supposed to be in school right now"
"You right" he responded while stuffing chips in his mouth "I'm supposed to be"
"But..."
"I can't come check on my brother? I heard he was sick"
Kentrell smacked his lips and I made a face at kendell
"Even I know that's a lie cause first of all you didn't even know he was sick"
"Yes I did smartass" he responded "I was right beside my momma when she was on the phone with you"
I rolled my eyes just thinking about that phone conversation with sherhonda. When we were on the phone I told her that Kentrell was sick and the first thing she asked was is it terminal. When I told her no, that lady hung up on me
"Kendell what you doing here?" I asked in a serious tone
"I got suspended from school but my momma don't know. After she dropped me off at school this morning I caught a ride over here cause I'm not tellin' her"
Kentrell made a noise and moved his head a little
"So you bout to stay over here all day until school ends?" I asked him and he shook his head
"No. Especially if that nigga sick. I met this freak that stay around the corner and she at home by herself for the day" he answered with the biggest grin on his face, meanwhile mine was frowned up. Niggas make me sick
"This nigga" Kentrell softly spoke with a chuckle. I guess kendell got a text or something because he pulled his phone out of his pocket and looked at it with a smile before looking at us again
"She waiting on me. I'll catch y'all later"
I watched kendell walk out of the room and shook my head.
"Fuck" Kentrell groaned as he sat up just to take his shirt off and threw it before laying back down on me
"Trell. You need to go to a doctor baby"
"No. I don't"
"Do you just wanna lay around in the bed feeling bad"
He nodded and closed his eyes again
"Well can I at least get up?"
"No"
"But I'm hungry.."
"Starve" he mumbled But I smacked my lips and tried to slide from under him. There's no way in hell I was about to sit in this bed hungry because of him. Just as I almost made it from under him, he pulled me back down and I dramatically exasperated
"Desean I'm hungry! Stop playing" I groaned and he smacked his lip, muttering something under his breath before letting me go
"Hurry up"
"Fine! You want something to eat too?" I asked and he shook his head
"Okay. Ima make you some soup" I told him before walking out of the room. Just as I was about to go into the kitchen, I heard a knock on the door. It obviously wasn't the guys or kendell because they would just normally walk right in so I slowly walked over to the door and opened it.
On the other side stood a dark skin boy with a durag on. He was kind of cute, but he wasn't as fine as Kentrell. He looked at me for a little bit, in which I felt uncomfortable so I decided to speak up
"Can I help you?"
"Oh yeah. My bad shawty" the boy chuckled and slapped his hands together "I just gotta question... Yb live here?"
"Why?"
"Ima just take that as a yes. Just let him know his boy Eric back in the city" the guy said with a suspicious smile on his face.
I then noticed his eyes traveled all around the exterior of the house and then they laid back on me. He wore a thirsty look as he looked me up and down so I eased my way back inside the house
"Yeah, Whatever"
"Cool. I'll catch you later.. Noel" he told me while biting his bottom lip and winked at me then walked off to go to a car that was parked in the road. I quickly shut the door and locked it before scratching my head
What the hell?
