39. "I'm not falling for that."

Chris

I don't know what type of thug shit my dad was on, but it was cool as fuck.

I didn't ask where we were going. To do a drive by? Drug bust? I felt like he had a secret life or something.

I got in the passenger seat of the car, he got in shortly after.

"Where we goin?"

"Visit someone real quick, just gonna do some talking."

"Talking? No fighting? Shooting?"

"No man. I just need to do some talking."

Hm.

I connected my phone to the Bluetooth in the car and blasted Vince Staples. I'm in a thug mood.

"LBPD GET SPRAYED ON TOO-"

"Chris hush." My Dad shushed me, turning the music up louder.

We cycled through the rest of that album, and started another. Suddenly the music quieted down and the car voice read,

"New message from Bria. Would you like me to read it?"

"No." I said.
"Yes." My Dad said over me.

"I didn't quite get that, would you like me to read the message from Bria?"

"Yes!" My Dad said louder this time.

"Reading message from Bria: hey Daddy I miss you, haven't heard from you. Yesterday was amazing, I need more."

The robotic voice reading the message made me even more embarrassed. My dad glared at me and awkward tension grew in the car.

"Maybe she didn't mean to send that to me.."

"New message from Bria, would you like me to read it?" The car asked again.

"Please no-"

"Yes." My Dad said over me again. Of course, the Bluetooth listened to him.

"Reading message from Bria: oh and Chris..you caused major problems with Braden this morning. He was pissed and asked me what I was doing last night. Told that man I was "tutoring my cousin with french" lmaooo closest thing to that was me french kissing your-"

"Stop reading!" I said immediately disconnecting my phone from the Bluetooth in the car.

My dad shook his head and chuckled. "Y'all kids are something else..she french kissed your what Chris?"

"Nothing." I said not being able to contain laughter.

After driving around for a while we pulled up to someone's house. My dad got out the car and told me to wait. I took this as an opportunity to call Bria.

Bria

Around 20 minutes after texting Chris he FaceTimed me. Forest was sitting next to me and his eyes lit up, knowing exactly who it was.

I answered and before I could greet him Forest yelled over me.

"Hi Chris we miss you!"

"Hey kid...how are you?"

"I'm good! How come you didn't come say hi to me when you came over last night?"

"I was a little preoccupied last night." Chris said chuckling.

"Ok enough of that. Did you get my text?" I asked Chris, stopping any further questions from Forest.

"In the worst way possible, my dad heard it all because my phone was connected to the car."

"Oooh yikes. But that doesn't change the fact that I meant what I said.."

"Oh did you? When can I see you then?" He asked in a matter of fact tone.

"Will you be at school tomorrow?"

"Damn you get down like that? Yeah I'll be at school tomorrow."

"I meant we could do something afterward, but I like your idea better."

Forest looked over at me confused. "Where you guys going?" He asked quietly.

"Studying for french."

"I'm not falling for that." Forest mumbled, clearly annoyed with me.

Christian

I rung the guy's doorbell a couple of times, after standing in the cold for a minute a guy in a silk robe came to the door. I chuckled to myself. This is the guy Alex was cheating with? Ha!

"Um yes?"

"Could I talk to you for a minute? It's about Alex.."

"Alex..my bootycall Alex? Or Alex my neighbor?"

"..the first one."

"Lemme guess, you're the husband?"

"Yes, and I want you to know that him and I are very much still together."

"Damn..I guess he's just as bad as me." He said chuckling. "My boyfriend Grant would be pissed if he found out I was trying to meet some guy tonight."

Grant?
