His Mistress, Her Nightmare (COMPLETED)

Class is in Session

Classes start, in about a week and I'm actually happy about it. I only work two days, out of the week. My parents made it clear that school comes first. When I have more than two classes, I can't work on class days. I have classes on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. I chose to work on Tuesday and Thursday from 11-5PM. Lorenzo likes my work ethic, so he accepted my parents' terms, soon after I was hired. I don't get to make much but it's all good. They prefer I quit but this was our compromise.

Devin moves into his dorm, today so I decided I'd stop by and help. We've been talking and Facetiming every day, since the kickback. I'm pretty confident that we would be a bomb ass couple. I check my phone and see another Snapchat notification. I've been getting requests like crazy, since the kickback. Everybody was vibing, with me and my girls. Our IGs been popping, too. I finally hit 1,500 followers. That's unreal, because I definitely don't know all of them enough to follow back. "Shit!" I accidentally accept Marcus' request. I would unfriend him but I know he's already gotten the notification. I'm going to have to block him from seeing my snaps. I throw my phone, in my back pocket and head over to Devin.

I pull into the driveway and park behind what I assume is his Hyundai. It's pretty nice. It's Early Move In Day, so there are a few other moving trucks and families, unpacking things. Everyone else comes on Thursday. "You have a lot of shit." I say, once I see inside his U-Haul. "I know, it's bad." He laughs. I bring him in for a well needed hug. Not because I'm upset but just because even though he's muscular, he gives just the right amount of squeeze. Warren is here to help so I give him a hug too. I'm sure, I'll be seeing Zora, today. It would've been nice, if Warren could've transferred too. I like the idea of going on double dates or couple dates.

We spend the next two hours, taking his things out of the truck."Alright, I think it's time to eat," Devin blurts out. "I second that," I jump up, from my spot on his couch. "What do you want to eat?" "I'm always down, for wings." "Wings it is!" We pile, into his car and head to the mall, by our school. They have THEE best wings, in the city. The one thing I don't like, though,  is that people are ALWAYS staring. It's like they absolutely have to size everybody up. It's annoying and it doesn't help the fact that I'm with two guys, today. People assume the worst. Smh.

We get to the mall and order our food. People stare, as I predicted. I opt to ignore it. "Zora's on her way!" Warren says. "Let me go order her some food." He hops up, as if her wings need to be ready in 10 minutes flat. It's so crazy the lengths he will go for her. It's actually sweet, though. After the kickback, we had a long talk about what she wants. She knows that he's the one but like I said, she's hesitant. But she does know that he won't wait forever, so she's going to have a talk with him, soon. It'd be perfect for the two of us to finally get in relationships. Lilah and Jaydah been in their relationships for a while now. "He's in love with that girl," Devin says. "Oh, I know." I laugh.

15 minutes pass and our food is ready. Zora strolls in, just in time. "Hey, Cher!" She hugs me. "Hey, love." She smiles at Warren, before hugging him. I'm pretty sure he just melted. Devin and I lock eyes and laugh. "What y'all laughing at?" Warren punches Devin, in the arm. "Nothing, man. Let's eat." Devin lies. I always get mild wings, fries and a mix of peach, lemonade and fruit punch drink. It's literally the best. I grab the little ketchup packets, to start drizzling my fries and I see a text, from Teyana. GIRLLLL! Marcus def wants you. This girl is crazy. What makes you think that? I text back. He asked for you and when I told him you were off this week and he looked sad. He was like "I thought she was still working Tuesdays." He wants ALL of you. She texts back fast as hell. She must be on her break. Girl, he's married. His wife is beautiful, too. He does NOT want this. I put my phone away, to finally chow down.

After spending another two hours, with Devin, Zora, and Warren, I decided it was time for a nap. Moving stuff and that food gave me the itis real quick. I was basically falling asleep. "I'll see y'all later," I say, before heading out. It's only around 2:30, so I know if I nap now, I'll still be able to go to sleep, at a decent time, tonight. I get a snap notification and its from Marcus. So this is why you're not working? I laughed, out loud. This man can't be serious. I forgot to block what he can see. I haven't been doing anything crazy yet but I'm sure I'll be going out, this weekend. Everybody will be here for school and there's a back to school kickback, in Mountain Square, where I live. It would've been a good reason, if it were true, though right? Marcus is cool, there's no denying that. I just keep getting Teyana's mess in my head and it stops me from interacting with him.

School is back in session and campus is a mad house. I refuse to drive my car, during the first week. Parking is crazy. Last year, I had to park so far, it took me 20 minutes to walk to campus. They even had to start having shuttles take us to class...FROM THE PARKING LOT. It was mad. I've made the executive decision to hop my ass on this shuttle. I got out here 15 minutes, before its scheduled to arrive. I want to be one of the first to get on. Seats will be limited and I refuse to stand. The shuttle drivers often mistake the large bus for a race car. I've literally seen people topple over other people, because they lost their balance. I'm pretty sure it's against the rules to even let people stand. Smh.

I'd say that I have a perfect schedule. I have a 10-10:50, 11-11:50, and 4:30-5:45 class. I can eat breakfast, in the cafe, before my 10 o'clock class. I can eat lunch after my 11 o'clock and I can take a nap, before my last class. I have to have my naps. I can also get my homework done, early. I have to maintain my grades, in order to keep my scholarships and grants. Right now, I have a 3.6. I only have the 4:30 class on Monday and Wednesday, so by noon on Friday, I'm done with work, class and homework. People never understand how I do it but I'm a crazy planner and I'm very determined.

The shuttle drops us off, right in front of the cafe. Everyone is walking at full speed, so I follow suit. The line gets hella long, after every drop off. I need my turkey bacon and cheddar omelette. I stand third in line so I just scroll through my phone. Marcus' name pops up. What could he possibly be texting me? I heard you started classes, today. I'll have to get you something, for good luck. Well that's nice. I'm not sure I should accept, though. Wow, thank you. You don't have to do that. I text back. The person, in front of me gets her omelette, so mine is almost done. It would be my pleasure, Charity. You're a dedicated worker so I can only imagine how you are with school. You deserve it. I mean he isn't lying. I work hard. I really appreciate that, Marcus. My omelette is complete and I'm ready to dive in.
