Finally Together

Chapter Four

I started rubbing my face with my hands. Why did I just call Jasmine, Khadijah? I need to get it together, that can't happen again. Khadijah threw that remote at my head pretty hard, its probably from that.

Khadijahs POV

"Honey, remember to keep in touch," Mama J said, giving me a hug.

"Yeah, I definitley will. Thank you for everything," I smiled.

"You're welcome. You sure you don't want breakfast?

"I'm sure, I need to get going."

"Okay be safe, I love you!"

"I love you too," I said.

I got into the car and started driving. Ever since I've been here, I haven't even gone outside the house. I can now. Wow, everything looks exactly the same. I started to get a little sad as I past by my house but I didn't let it affect me too much.

Since, I'm going to be on the road for 3+ hours, I should probably get some snacks. I saw the little café I went to before so I stopped there. When I finished ordering my milkshake and cookies, I saw someone familiar come into the stores.

"Micheal?!" I semi-shouted.

He looked at me with wide eyes.

"Khadijah? That really you?" He asked.

I giggled a little. "You don't sound excited to see me."

"Nah, I am. Its just that I ain't seen you in a minute."

"Yeah, its been forever," I started reminiscing about the good ole days when we dated. Too bad it didn't end well. I remember that he told me he still liked me after we broke up but I got back together with Chris so nothing happened. Micheal was cute in high school but he looked much sexier now.

"What you doing in Wicker?"

"Just wanted to visit."

"How long you been here? And how long you stayin'?"

"I'm actually leaving now. I've been here for like 2 days. I was supposed to stay for 10 days but it didn't work out."

"Why don't you come back to my place and tell me what happened? Micheal suggested with a flirty smile.

Its been a long time since I've had sex. And to be honest, I might not be able to control myself around Micheal. But I don't want to do something that I'm gonna end up regretting.

"Um, I don't know," I said hesitantly.

"C'mon just for old times sake."

Micheal just looked too damn good to say no to.

"Okay, lets go."

Micheal and I settled down on his couch in his house.

"So, what happened thats making you leave soon?" Micheal inquired.

"Do you still talk to Chris?" I wondered.

"Nah but I seem him around a lot. Why?"

"Well, when I came here, I was staying at his house. Not to see him but because his mom let me in. He doesn't really like me. And its awkward staying at his house considering he hates me. So, I'm gonna go home early."

"What ever happened with you and him? A lil while after you left, he started posting pics wit' other girls."

I took a deep breath before speaking. Ever since Chris told me told why he was mad at me, I've been feeling extra guilty. "I got depressed and basically just cut Chris off."

"How you feel now?"

I licked my lips as I thought. Should I be truthful or lie like I usually do? Let me be honest for once.

"I'm not really that good. I thought that maybe visiting my hometown would make me happier but its not really working," I confessed.

"Are you on pills?"

"Yeah. I haven't stopped taking then in like 3 years."

"I think you should stay longer," Micheal stated.

"Why?"

"If you're depressed, you shouldn't be around your ex that don't like you no more."

"Where am I supposed to go? I already told Chris's mom that I'm leaving."

"You can stay with me, I got a room."

"Micheal, I don't think thats a good idea," I said.

"If you don't wanna be with me, then stay in a hotel. Whatever you want, just stay here longer. I only known you for like 5 months in the 11th grade, but you're still the greatest girl I ever meet. I don't like seeing you all hurt and sad. If you're around me more, I can help you."

This is giving me flashbacks of how sweet Micheal is. I broke up with him for another guy and he's still so good to me. When we were dating, I was so happy. And I think Micheal can make me happy now, too.

"I'll stay longer," I announced.

Micheal and I embraced in a quick hug.

"Thank you," I said, smiling.

"You know I got you, babygirl."

Hey everyone! So, I have some questions for you guys about this chapter. Do you think Chris accidentally said her name or do you think he misses Khadijah? What do you think of Jasmine so far? And what are your thoughts on Khadijah and Micheal? Should she stay in his house?
