‘’Sometimes you have to be brave in love, not everything goes the normal way, just like people don’t love the same way.’’ Tyra gushed, smiling and gesticulating with her manicured hands. ‘’Your love story doesn&rsqu
Emerald A few weeks later, James and I were back to normal, although I always had my doubts about his mother. I made sure we didn’t meet anywhere close to his house or even dropped him off at his house.Parking my car at a close near his house, I unlocked the door for him to head out and he shook his head, wearing a grin.‘’Again with this you are never coming to my house anymore. My mom isn’t even at home.’’ I glared at him. I didn’t know why I was annoyed when our ice cream date had gone pretty nicely.‘’Why don’t you ever drive anyway when you have cars at your
Emerald‘’I didn’t think we were ever going to speak, let alone meet again.’’ Devin chuckled and I smiled at him from across the table, holding my coffee cup near. The moment I woke up, I was greeted by his text and then he called about some minutes later and we agreed on meeting at a coffee shop around twelve in the noon, before I had classes.‘’I have been busy with school and all.’’‘’Yeah,’’ I get it he said. Studying his looks, he looked different. A good guy with some facial hair that gave him a mature look. It really felt like reuniting with an old friend after so many years. ‘’I was so surprised you talked about the game—never thought you’
James‘’Look who we have here if it isn’t the prodigal one himself,’’ Kayla, a friend of Riley said smiling as I advanced toward them in Taylor’s patio. I shook my head spotting Louis and Taylor with their girlfriends sitting on their lap. I couldn’t help but feel a certain way—that the gang could do or even better without me as they seemed in a good spirit as usual.I started toward the ladies to greet them. Riley did seem excited to see me and Kayla… Why was she hanging out with her again cause last I checked she was mad at me for sleeping with her friend back then before she started to feel a little too attached to me. Kayla was an undeniable beauty with her rich light brown skin, a pretty face and nice angles—not too thick nor slim. Just okay with
JamesI didn’t realize I was smiling so hard till I saw my reflection on a car’s window after seeing Emerald’s text. Only her could make laugh like a baby in the outside.If you don’t want to see me anymore at least save yourself the problem and tell me straight up to my face. Lol this isn’t actually funny. I hope you are alive.She must have thought I was still mad about her interrogating me like I was some drunk or something. Maybe being high made me feel much alive. It definitely ignited a fire inside me to take away the lame life even if it was just the duration of time the liquor stayed in body. My whole life I had always been second best or non best at all to my family and that made me act accordingly. I found p
JamesEmerald hadn’t stopped asking about where we were headed the whole ride, each bust stop we got to. Driving for about thirty minutes, we stopped by the gas station and got ice cream and cookies since she was hungry. At twenty minutes past four, we arrived at the beach. She was stunned by the time we got there and pulled off her boots to get in the sand.‘’We could have stopped by my house to get even more proper clothes,’’ she said and I bit my lips, looking down at her jean. Why hadn’t I thought about that, more so, why was that even a topic in the first place.‘’Guess I screwed up on that part.’’ I squinted at her because of the sun rays getting into my eyes and then took the shirt
JamesEmerald and I had become much better at things that I started to feel it was permanent. She was a part of me, just like I was a part of her. We saw every another day and had fun like it was our last since she was going to busy for two weeks with school.
EmeraldJames had been given me a lot of distance, even after I was done with my tests. We conversed almost every day but basically just small talk. He hadn’t even spoken about meeting up with me anymore which made me kind of mad. At first, it made sense for me to busy myself too with something to avoid coming off as needy but since the semester was soon ending and I was most likely spending the summer break at Boston, getting a job wasn’t really necessary. But burying my head in amazing romance novels was an exciting sport. Two weeks and more of not seeing James or not being how we used to be went by pretty quickly and it hurt every time my heart ached or looking for a hideout spot away from Mimi to let it all out. This was basically how it ended in relationships, even though we weren’t in one. The couple drift away from e
JamesI knew I had recognized that voice from somewhere and wasn't proven wrong by the time I turned my neck to see it was Mimi, Emerald's friend that had called out my name with so much contempt. Riley shot me a confused look, probably thinking she was just a part of the many girls who were still mad cause I didn't reach out to them after one night of an encounter.
