The Girl Next Door

~50~

She shakes her head and I roll me eyes, thinking about it.

"Start from the beginning." Zen says, looking like she's getting comfortable.

"Okay. So I wake up right? And Onika is on top of me. She's kissing on me and stuff. So I'm like 'wassup? What you doing?' And she's telling me that she's ready. And I'm like 'nahh yeen ready' and she's like 'try me'. And boy, best believe I was about to push that button. So I'm in it, just my fingers. And just when she about to ride, here comes her mom. She yells out Onika's name and we both look over there. I guess it took Onika by surprise because she straight falls off me. Onto the floor. With the sheet."

Zen starts laughing and I continue," like the sheet wasn't even on us. It was pushed to the side. But she grabs it, slips off me and leaves me naked. So I get a pillow and cover myself. Then her mother is staring at me and she tells me to put my clothes on. So I'm scrambling and trying to put on my clothes. Then as soon as I do, her mother is still staring and she tells us to go downstairs. So then we end up downstairs. The whole time she's going off of Onika, I'm nervous as hell. My heart is pounding and I'm just thinking of the many ways we could've avoided the situation. Then she points to me and starts talking to me, saying how she was gonna take Onika away and shit like that. Onika buts in and says she's not much of a mother and then her mother slaps her. And she's going in for the kill so I stop her and she hits me and starts yelling at me. Then she basically disclaims Onika. So then Onika walks out and I follow and that's when everything started to change."

It's silent for a minute as Zen nods slowly," damn. But it changed for the better huh?"

I nod,"yea. I'm glad it did. Or we wouldn't have this house and all this alone time and I would still have to sneak around with her. I'm glad it changed."

Onika's voice pops in," me too..."

I look up and see Onika in front of the island, tears sliding down her cheeks.

*boop, boop, boop*

I look at my phone and see Zen respectively hung up.

"What do you mean?" I ask, looking back up to Onika.

She gives me a half smile,"I'm glad things changed. And not one day goes by that I'm not glad that I was being nosy the day you moved here. Not one day goes by that I'm not glad that I met you. Even if it was under the worst circumstances. You complete me and that's all there is to it..."

I search deep in her eyes and find honesty in her words. She holds my gaze for more than a minute before she speaks," and I love you. So much. For being there for me through change. And for helping me adjust to it. You've been there for me and you've ridden the waves that no one else dared to even get near."

I smirk at her words," I mean... I was swimming in- ow!"

I hiss when she punches my arm with enough strength to touch bone.

"I'm trying to be serious!" She whines, stomping her foot.

I lean over the countertop and kiss her on her lips softly. Once I pull away for air, I smile," I know. And I love you too. I was in love with you from the first moment I saw you bang your head against your window."

Onika blushed hard and covers her face,"oh my god. Why didn't you ever tell me you saw tha- Oh my god, that was so embarrassing."

I smile," it was cute. Honestly."

She shakes her head," no. No."

I glance at the pot and see that the noodles aren't standing in the pot anymore.

"Go sit down," I tell Onika.

"Okay papi," she bites her lip and follows my order.

I shake my head, smiling, and walk over to the stove. I'll say it time and time again... that girl will be the death of me...
