"Try this one" Edwin hands Angie an outfit "this better be good" she takes it into the bathroom. "Her closet is very organized" he says "unlike yours" he says and I gasp "mine is so" I say "it's a mess" he says "I cleaned it out couple days ago"
He chuckles before sitting next to me "I'm just messing with you" he nudges me lightly. It becomes silent for a couple seconds before he speaks up "are you gonna tell me what had you all miserable last night" he ask "I would but it's nothing" I say
"Najah you're killing me" he sighs
"You're killing me" I say back "like I said , let it go" I tell him "not until you tell me" he says and we look at each other "please" I ask "quit asking" I add "oh fine" he shakes his head "just this once" he smiles as Angie walks out "so?" She says and we look over "I'm a genius" Edwin shrugs
"Yeah I'll give it to you , I look good" Angelina says "you look great" I tell her "now which earrings" she says and we look at each other "Dior" Angie and I say at the same time before laughing "oh yeah we are the best friend" she high fives me before putting them on "yeah but I'm definitely a better best friend to Najah" Edwin buts in
Angelina looks at him "oh your funny" she says "I ain't laughing" he tells her "now Edwin I'm a way better best friend to her then you are" she says "in your dreams" he points at her "It's true" she says "don't you have a date to go to" he questions
"Yes ..... we will discuss this later" she says "we will get going" I stand up with Edwin "have fun , not to much fun tho" I smile "ight mom" she jokes before we walk downstairs and out the door "I'll meet you at your house" Edwin says "oh will you" I question "yeah , see you there" he kisses my cheek which makes my heart skip a beat
I pull up and no Edwin is here. I walk into my house and sit on my couch waiting for him to come to my house after we literally left Angelina's house at the same time.
Now 5 minutes later he walks in "Edwin we left at the same time , why are you late" I giggle "you drive fast" he says "I drive the speed limit, you drive like a old man" I say and he closes the door "sorry I'm safe" he sits next to me "why don't we pick up where we left off at last night"
I look over "didn't I say let it go" I ask "not that, us watching a movie or something" he says "oh, yeah I'd like that" he grabs the remote and starts flipping through Netflix movies before pulling me closer to him. "Come closer , I Don't bite" he says "unless you like that" he adds. The flirtation level is high.
"No I don't" I tell him "I'll keep that in mind" he chuckles and puts on some new movie
(think of one) "I heard this was good" he says "you know I hate Paranormal movies" I whine
"But I'm here" he smiles and I look up at him "to do what?" I question "protect you" he whispers "man if you say a ghost you'd cry" I joke around "I would not , I will stand up to those ghost" he straightens up "aww! Yep totally wouldn't" I tap his cheek "I sense some sarcasm in that"
I laugh "what? Never" I put my eyes onto the movie "okay maybe I'll be a little scared" he mumbles which makes me laugh "secret is safe with me" a couple of minutes past by as we watch the movie.
"Have you talked to Payton yet" I ask "about?" He ask "you know , how you think about someone else" I tell him and he sighs "no I haven't" I answers "Edwin you need to, you are stringing her along , do you not understand that" I ask "no no I do" he says "I don't wanna hurt her tho" he says
"The truth hurts but it's better than being lied to" I say "can you stop being right" he jokes "just do what you gotta do" I say "can we just watch the movie and not talk about this" he ask
"...yeah , yeah we can , my bad"
I wake up to complete darkness. Tv off , lights off , outside is now dark. I feel around the couch before I feel my phone and grab it. I look at the time , 2:21am!! I go over to the lamp and click it on to see Edwin walking downstairs "oh you're still here" I say "yeah" he nods "you fell asleep right when the movie was getting to the good parts" he laughs
"Sorry" I apologize and he shakes his head "no it's okay" he says "but I finished the movie , and let you sleep that's why I just turned everything off" he tells me "are you okay?" I ask "me? Yeah , why" he questions "you seem off" I state "well umm I good" he smiles "why were you upstairs" I ask
"Bathroom" he answers quickly "you didn't use the one down here?" I question "didn't wanna wake you" he says "I sleep through almost everything and you know I do" I say "do you not trust me" he ask "of course I do , I've trusted you my whole life , I was just wondering why you decided to go upstairs" he walks up to me and he smells like alcohol "to use the bathroom"
"Were you drinking" I ask "just a bit" he shrugs
He puts his hands on my both my arms "why don't you back to sleep" he says "and why are you gonna do" I ask "whatever you want" he says and I squint my eyes "wouldn't want you doing anything crazy"
I shake my head "what are you talking about" I ask "who is he?" He ask "who is who" I ask "you know who I'm talking about" he says "I don't"
He lets go of my arms "that guy you talk to , on your laptop" he says "you went through my stuff?" I ask "don't change the subject Najah" he shakes his head slowly "you were in my room going through my things" I walk past him and upstairs into my room. My drawers opened , my closest ran through , laptop opened.
I turn around to see him in my door frame "Edwin! What the fuck" I throw my hands up "you never answered my question" he walks in "why does it matter" I ask "because it does" he whispers "who's Jackson , Najah" he ask again "just someone I talk to" I answer "don't lie to me" he begs
"Is he your boyfriend? Do you love him? Huh?" He ask "no and no" I answer "why are you like this" I ask "I just wanna know" he says "who is he" He ask "a friend" I say "oh so friends send nudes to each other" he steps closer and closer "you're acting crazy" I tell him
"Don't play around , I seen all the messages and the pictures" he tells me "why would you go through my stuff" I ask "to find something" he say "and I found it" he looks around "do you like him" he ask "why do you care" I ask "answer my question" he demands "I don't know" I shrug.
He runs his hands down his face "What has he done for you" he ask and he steps closer then I put my hands out "stop it" I tell him "you are drunk" I add "I'm trying to help you ; he's not right for you Najah" he says. He grabs my hands roughly "UNDERSTAND" he yells which makes me flinch "why are you being this way" I ask tears In my eyes
"I care" he says "im calling the boys , to come get you" I grab my phone but he smacks it out my hand "don't" he says "let me stay" he says to me "you're acting insane" I say "I'm protecting you" he says "from what Edwin" I ask "everyone and everything" he says "But I don't need protection"
He nods "but I love you" he tells me "and I love you okay but this is so unnecessary" I say "I'm sorry" he walks downstairs and I hear glass break . I grab my phone and go downstairs "sit down" I point to the couch. I call Brandon and I feel bad cause it's the middle of the night but I'm not dealing with this any longer.
He answers after a couple rings "Najah?" He questions "Brandon I need you to come Edwin please" I beg "is he okay" he ask "he's acting crazy , I don't want him here anymore and he's completely drunk" I say "okay okay I'll be there"
After like 15 minutes of Edwin just sitting there and me In the kitchen there's a knock. I open the door and Brandon as well Nick walk in "get him out my house" I say "why did he do" Nick ask "he ransacked my fuckin room and is acting like a jerk"
They go over and get him up "I told you not to call" he says "go home and sleep" I say
"I tried Najah I really did" he says "bye Edwin"
