Trying to pretend

KehlaniHe froze. “You what?” his eyes narrowed, tilting his head to be sure if I just meant what I said. I took a deep breath, looking back again. My nerves crawled. “I know this sounds crazy and all that…but.” my lips start trembling. Then, he looked at his phone, pressed something and focused back at me. “I can't stop thinking about you. I love you. I can't deny my feelings anymore. I still love you.”He steps closer. “You…you're still in love with me?”I nod, trying to be certain and sounding as true as possible. “Yes.”“What about Trevor?”I grabbed his hands. Looking deep into his eyes. “Forget about him. I'm just using him as a placeholder. I know you hurt me then but I thought about what you said, that everyone deserves a second chance and I wanna give that to you. I want us back again. I miss us. Since when Trevor started dating me, I couldn't help but think about you all the time. I didn't stop loving you. Couldn't get you out of my head.”My throat closed. This was hard.

I'm so sorry, Trevor

Kehlani “Well, I hate to burst your bubble, but you can't be here. What if Trevor….”“I know he isn't here.” He dropped the bowl, taking a step closer. Phase two of my plan wasn't supposed to be like this. He keeps on doing unexpected things. I pressed my lips together, lowering my eyebrows. He was making me so mad. Smiling like I was in the middle for his silly game. “Next time, don't do that.” I curled my lips. “Imagine if I fainted from the shock.”His hands dropped on my shoulders and I rolled my eyes. “I'm serious. What if something happened? You're acting like a burglar. It doesn't make sense.”“Why?” He chuckled. “I thought you said you love me. You should be happy and accommodate me whenever you see me, not judge me by my means of entrance.” He frowned, still placing his hands around my waist. “Yes. I know.” I bit my lips, regretting why my plan had to turn this way. “Look, what I'm saying is…I haven't broken up with Trevor. So he doesn't know we're together, yet.”He relea

Hiding behind doors

Kehlani The next morning, Trevor had come to pick me from home. His head popped out of the window as he waved at me. I smiled, happy, closing the door. Next thing, he got out of the car, walked closer and kissed me sweetly. I giggled, trying to cover my face. “What?” He laughed, the smell of his cologne was so nice. “Don't look at me that way. I'm shy.” I pout. “Well, don't be. I'm your real boyfriend now. Be free.” He linked my fingers in his and walked me to the car, opening the door and I slid in.“Thank you, gentleman.” “Welcome. My lady.”I'm smiling so hard my cheeks hurt. I never thought we would get here. We didn't just break the rules, we destroyed the rules. The car glided freely across the street, we were getting closer to Brooklyn high. One hand on the steering and the other holding and brushing my knuckles. I smiled again, the first time he's doing this by the way. “You've been grinning so hard.” He muttered. Eyes still on the road. “And you're stealing glances at m

Brave but stupid

Kehlani My heart raced as I leaned against the cold door. The sound of shoes moving in, oh, jeez. Putting myself in a situation like this because of Elliot is just so stupid. I shouldn't have let him push me in, but it happened so fast. But the voice I heard made my heart thump hard. I'm sure it was. It was Trevor, talking to Elliot. I don't know what they were saying but I heard it. I looked down, bending hard. Trevor's red and white sneakers. Then Elliot's shoes too. I don't know why they were talking, they never get along too well. Breathe. Don't breathe. I'm going to be so dead if he decides to open the door. What if he does? What if he wants to pee or something. If he sees me in here, every piece of this shit would be totally blown off. The fluorescent lights buzzed above me. Beads of sweat formed on my head, dropping to my neck. The only thing I smell is disinfectant and fear. Please leave. Please leave. Please leave. I started praying. But when I bent down to inspect again,

I'm the most useless girlfriend ever

KehlaniMusic thumped low from behind his door. His sweatpants hung low with a towel around his neck. His hair is damp, obvious that he just stepped out of the damp. I gulp. Nervous. He's smirking. Thinking I must be falling for him and his athletic build but I didn't. I wasn't. Not anymore. All these were just pretense. My arms cross over my chest. He leaned on the doorframe, eyes scanning me from head to toe. “You're late.” He says. “Whatever.” “Why are you dressed like that?”“Like what?” I looked down. “Next time, wear something sexy.”“Would you let me in already?” I disturbed and he looked at me for a second before stepping back, opening the door wide enough. The room smells nice. Blue lights are on. All the curtains rolled down. The lights from the playstation glowed casting a white and purple light over the room. It's cold here. There's a poster of the vipers team but a bold coloured writing stretched on it saying, losers. Dick heads. Jeez. Elliot was so weird. I'm stand
