Episode 19
âExplain yourself Keleâ
I nearly growl.
Julliet whips her eyes to me so fast am sure she had brain whiplash.
âSettle down Mami, I thought you guys are just friendsâ
Kele says.
âYes, he is just a friendâ
âDoesnât seem like itâ
She says in an undertone and I almost dive her.
âDonât act smart with me kele, just tell me what happenedâ
I say, softly this time.
âWell I mean you know he is hot and handsome and hotâŠâ
I roll my eyes.
âWe were talking last night at the restaurant and we had a bottle of wine and things got intenseâ
âPlease translate to how you were drinking wine and it got to you and him swapping spitâ
Magic says with a deep sigh.
âWell we swapped spit, like a lotâŠthe man knows what he is doing I can tell you thatâ
She says with a sigh and I almost block my ear.
Yuck.
âBut are you sure?â
Magic asks.
âYeahâŠ.â I add with a nod,ââŠI mean, he is leaving in a monthâs timeâ
I say and she nods and smiles a wicked grin.
âThat doesnât mean I canât have fun, am not looking for a relationship, am sure he isnât either, we just have to dictate the grounds of whatever we will have going onâ
She says as she leans to get some wine.
I stop her hand.
âDonât come between me and my drink womanâ
She says.
Julliet pulls the bottle from her.
âYou are acting and talking crazy, you donât need anymore of this, until we get you and your head straight, no more of thisâ
Julliet says and magic nods.
Kele pouts and seriously seeing that on a grown a-s woman was comical.
âAre you really serious about this?â
I ask and she nods.
âYou could get hurtâ
I say softly.
âIt would be worth it Sandy, it would totally be worth it, just for the little while we talked, I got that he gets me, he really get me guys.â
She says softly.
Itâs well known that Kele tries to hide her pain and insecurities behind sass and jokes but this is the first time I have seen her close to vulnerable.
I exchange a look with the girls.
âWouldnât it hurt you when he leaves?â
Magic ask.
âIt would hurt more if I donât explore what ever this is between usâ
She says and I get it.
Itâs almost like the situation I am in with Justin.
I try to lighten the mood.
âWell you will be doing a lot of exploringâ
I say with innuendo and we laugh.
âAlthough it kills me to think about Tony in a s-eual form but I will still say go for it galâ
I say and she nods.
âTrust me, am going for it and he wonât know what hits himâ
She says and we laugh.
Poor Tony, Kele will eat him alive.
But any way he can hold his own too.
I pick up my wine glass as the sliding doors open and we all turn to it.
âIâve been looking for youâ
Justin says as a way of greeting and I almost blush.
I swear I see julliet roll her eyes.
Does she know?
I almost panic but I forget all about that thought when he bends to kiss my head.
I savor it but it hurts to think thathqt this wonât last.
He turns to the girls.
âYou have to go save your husbandâs, I think the babies are eating them alive.â
He says and julliet stands up.
âWell break is overâ
Julliet sighs and I feel a twinge in my chest.
I wish I had that.
I probably wonât be having any babies, the doctor said the chances are slim.
Mavin destroyed my womb after the first four kicks.
I feel a rush of sadness but it goes away when Justin pulls me up and takes my hand to lead me to the door.
He seemed to get that I needed rescuing.
I smile gratefully to him not once thinking that friends with benefits donât hold hands.
âSo are you guys doing it?â
Kele asks oh so casually,
In an undertone that only I could hear.
I flip her the bird behind Justinâs back and she cackles like the witch she is .
We exit the room and we pass the others, going directly to his room.
Well.
âRelax Sandra, I just want to be with you, nothingâs going to happenâ
He says and I feel my body loosen some of the tension I didnât know I was holding in.
Also I feel butterflies in my stomach, I donât think âjust being with you â is in the friends with benefits handbook.
I also kind of feel disappointed though.
Itâs official, am cray-cray.
âDonât look like that baby girl, promise I will be on my best behaviorâ
I nod as I climb on his bed.
I rest back as I stare at the ceiling.
After a while I ask.
âDo you think they suspect us?â
âProbablyâ
He says as unconcerned as can be.
I sit up real fast.
âWhat do you mean probably?â
I ask.
âThey are not stupid squirrel, Iâm sure they just saw me take you to my roomâ
He says calmly.
Iâm panicking I donât know what to do, they canât find out, its my family we are talking about here.
âJustinâŠ.â
âRelax Sandra its okayâ
He says softly as he climbs on to the bed.
I instantly relax.
Just one word and am relaxed
Who is this girl?.
âAre you going to go tommorow?â
I ask and he nods.
âAre you going to tell me where you are going?â
âIâm sorry Sandra I canâtâ
I nod, totally letting it go.
He pulls me close and we settle.
âGoing to miss youâ
I say softly.
âI will be back before you know itâ
He says I smile.
I raise my head as I kiss him softly and he returns the kiss.
He pulls me closer.
I canât get close enough.
âSee you soon babyâ
He says to me softly in my ear and I snuggle into the pillow.
He kisses my bare shoulder and I m0an sleepily
âStayâŠ.â
I say in my sleep.
âSoon baby girlâ
He says before leaving the room, I continue my sleep.
Not knowing how selfish my request wasâŠ..
