His Kind of Girl: A Love Story (8 page)

CHANEL

Ever since the fight Brianna and I had the other night, I haven’t had any trouble with her; as a matter of fact, she has avoided me like the plague. I don’t know if I should watch my back more now or maybe she learned I’m not the one she wants to mess with. I know she comes in here to get some things because I see her things moved around but I’m glad she’s avoiding me. Now, I got the room to myself. After I got out of my last class for the day, I called Kior’s phone to see how the club was last night, I thought about going but decided to stay on campus to chill with my baby. Jeremiah and I have been spending a lot more time together since becoming a couple and I wouldn’t have it any other way. I waited for Ki to answer her phone but it kept going to voicemail which was unusual for her. No matter what she was doing, she always picked up the phone or sent me a quick text unless she was sleeping. I decided to go to her room to see if she was still asleep. I knocked on her door and no one answered. I waited and knocked again but there still wasn’t an answer. I was getting ready to walk off when her roommate Asha walked up.

“Hey Asha, I was coming to see if Kior was here but I guess she’s not in there because she didn’t come to the door,” I said.

“Girl, I haven’t seen Kior since last night when she was getting ready to go out,” she told me.

“You mean she didn’t come back to the room last night?” I asked.

“Nope, I haven’t talked to her since then. When I got up to go to class this morning she wasn’t here.”

“Ummm I bet she’s out being hot in the ass. I’ll check back later to see if she’s back. If she comes back before I talk to her tell her I was looking for her,” I said.

“Okay.”

I decided to waste a little time and stopped by Jaecia and Diamond’s room to see what they were up too. When I got to their room, Jaecia opened the door with a big smile and said, “Hey Chanel girlllll, I was worried about you! I haven’t seen or talked to you since you and your roommate were talking to the police. You gotta fill me in on what happened.” I went and sat on her bed and spoke to Diamond who was lying across her bed listening to the radio. I told them the whole story about what went down with Brianna and I and they were sitting there with their mouths opened.

“Girl, the both of y’all are crazy as hell but I don’t blame you. I would have done the same thing if I was in that situation,” Jaecia said.

“Yeah, but I haven’t seen her since that night. I am so happy because she gets on my last nerve with her hating ass,” I said.

“So. what is her problem with you?” Diamond asked.

“She had an attitude with me from the first day I saw her and now I guess she’s mad that I’m with her ex-boyfriend. But she will get over it because he’s not going anywhere,” I said.

“I know that’s right,” Jaecia said.

My phone began to ring, and when I looked, it was Kior calling.

“Hoe where the hell you at? I’ve been calling you all day. I wanted to see how the club was last night,” I asked.

Laughing she said, “I’ll talk to you in a minute. I’m on my way back to the room now.”

“I’m in Jaecia’s room just come in here, we in here chillin,” I said.

“Cool I’ll be up in a minute,” she said hanging up.

About two minutes later Kior was knocking on their door. When she came in she was smiling from ear to ear.

“Come on spill the beans girl!” I said.

“Well if you must know I went to chill with Ahmir after the club. We got something to eat and went back to his room and got to know each other better. I ended up falling asleep and didn’t realize it until we woke up this morning,” she explained.

“Ewww, you so nasty! I know y’all had sex didn’t you? How was it?” I questioned.

“I don’t know what you talking about?” she said.

“You don’t have to give me all the details now but I’m going to get it out of you later. How was the club though?”

“It was fun! So, DJ Spin was DJing of course. When he spotted us while we were standing in line, he walked us in the club so we wouldn’t have to pay. He even took us straight to the VIP section and had the bottles coming for us the whole time but I left early with Ahmir. I don’t know what time Malorie and Taja left.”

“It sounds like y’all really did have a good time; I’m going to go the next time. So let me get this straight, you had one nigga paying for your drinks all last night and you went home with the other? Go ahead lil’ pimp!” I said teasing Ki.

“It’s not even like that; DJ Spin and I are just friends and Ahmir is a friend also,” she said.

“I hear ya girl.”

“So how are things going with you and Jeremiah?” Kior asked.

“That’s my baby, girl! He is so good to me and I hope it stays that way. You and Ahmir need to stop playing and make it official because I know you feeling him,” I said.

“I’m not gonna lie, I’m feeling him but I don’t think he’s ready,” she said.

“You won’t know unless you give it a try,” I told her.

We were talking and laughing with Jaecia and Diamond when their room phone began to ring, Jaecia answered the phone and she looked a little puzzled as she handed me the phone.

“The phone is for me? Who is it?” I asked looking confused as hell.

“I don’t know but they asked for you,” Jaecia said just above whisper.

I grabbed the phone, confused, trying to think of who could be on the other end of the phone and who would know I’m in Jaecia’s room.

“Hello,” I said.

“Is this Chanel?” the person on the other end asked.

“Yeah who is this?” I asked

“Never mind who this is, just know that I found out that you were messing around with my baby daddy and I’m just giving you a fair warning, back the hell off!” the voice on the other end said.

“First of all, I don’t know who the hell this is nor do I care. Second, I don’t know who this baby daddy is you’re referring to but what you not going to do is call making little threats to me. That is something I don’t take likely.”

“Oh, you know damn well who my baby daddy is. Like I said stay away from my man bitch.”

And with that she hung the phone up. I was beyond pissed and Kior was looking at me with a confused look on her face.

“What was that all about?” she asked.

“I don’t know but I’m damn well about to find out,” I told her.

I grabbed my phone and dialed Jeremiah’s number.

KIOR

Dear Diary,

We have a little catching up to do... so my night with Ahmir was amazing. The liquid courage I was on after I left the club, caused me to have sex with him and it was soooooo good. He was so gentle with my body and took his time with me. I’m still not sure if I want to be serious with him just yet though. Another thing that happened is some mysterious girl calls Jaecia’s room phone for Chanel and we have no clue who it is. At first we thought it was Brianna but Chanel says that it didn’t sound like her but don’t worry we are about to find out. One thing both Chanel and I don’t play about is threats!!!! Well I got some things to do so I will hit you up later!!!

After leaving Jaecia and Diamond’s room, Chanel and I decided to go to get something to eat.  Since we were not up for the cafeteria food we went to “The Pit Stop” so that we could relax and try to figure out what was going on.

“Did you talk to Jeremiah?” I asked her.

“I called but he said he would call me back in about an hour,” she replied.

“So you don’t think it’s Brianna just trying to mess with you?”

“No, I don’t believe she has anything to do with this because the person on the phone sounded too serious. All I know is, whoever this lil’ hoe is that is trying to stir up some shit come this way, she better be prepared pregnant or not,” Chanel said.

“I know that’s right girl! She better think smart!” I said.

While Chanel and I were talking, my phone started ringing. I looked to see who was calling and it was DJ Spin. I must admit, I had a little smile on my face as I answered the phone.

“Hello,” I said in a semi-sexy voice.

“Hi Kior, how are you?” he asked.

“I’m doing fine and yourself?” I replied.

“I’m great! Did I catch you at a bad time? I can call back later on if you’re busy,” he said.

“No, no, you are fine. I’m just sitting here having a bite to eat with my best friend.”

“Talking about the girl you were with last night at the club?”

“No, she didn’t come out with us last night,” I said.

“Oh okay, well I was looking for you last night after the club but your girls said that you had to leave early so I just wanted to check on you to make sure that you were okay.”

“Awww, that is so sweet to call and check on me but yes I am fine,” I told him.

“That’s good to hear. I also wanted to ask if you aren’t doing anything later would it be possible for us to spend a little more time together?” he asked.

“That sounds good to me, just give me a call before you come.”

“Okay ma, talk to you soon!”

When I hung the phone up, Chanel was looking at me smiling while squinting her eyes.

“What?” I asked laughing.

“Who the hell was that on the phone that had you smiling from ear to ear trick because I know damn well that wasn’t Ahmir!” she asked.

“That was DJ Spin if you must know! He wanted to know if we could chill together later on,” I told her.

“Told you your ass was a lil pimp!” she said teasingly.

“I’m not a pimp.”

We continued to talk and eat until Jeremiah called Chanel’s phone. I didn’t want to seem like I was all in their business so I decided to shoot Ahmir a quick text to see what he was up to.

Me: Hi Ahmir I just wanted to let you know that I really enjoyed my time with you last night/this morning and I can’t wait to see you again.

Ahmir: Hey there beautiful!! I enjoyed spending time with you also. Are you going to be busy in about twenty minutes? I want to talk to you about something.

Me: Okay meet me in “The Yard... I’ll see you in twenty then.

I sat there trying to figure out what it could possibly be that Ahmir wanted to talk to me about. I would be lying if I said I wasn’t nervous. I got up to throw my trash away and waited for Chanel to get off the phone. My mind was going 100 mph. After Chanel hung her phone up, she looked at me like she was pissed.

“What did he say?” I asked.

“He wants to meet up with me to talk about the phone call I received. I really hope it’s nothing bad. Do you think he’s been cheating on me Ki?” she asked.

“You never can tell with niggas these days girl but I honestly don’t think he is cheating, I mean how could he, when y’all are in each other’s ass all day every day,” I said laughing.

“Well you got a point there but a nigga don’t need nothing but a minute. I hope he don’t tell me anything that’s going to hurt me,” she said.             

“Girl, I feel you because Ahmir sent me a message saying he wants to meet up with me in few to talk about some things so I’m nervous right now.”

“He probably got some good news for you so you don’t have to worry about anything.”

“I hope not. Well let me get up from here to go meet up with Ahmir, ”I said getting up from the table.

I headed to “The Yard” to see what Ahmir had to say. My nerves were getting the best of me and I had to get myself together. I walked to our normal meeting spot and he was not there yet so I sat on the bench and waited for him to come. After ten minutes of waiting, I saw him walk up looking good in a polo button up and dark blue jeans. He came over and gave me one of the tightest, longest hugs and he smelled good enough to eat.

“Damn boy, you look and smell good where you coming from?” I asked.

Laughing he said, “I just decided to put this on nothing major.”

“Well what’s going on that you had to meet me?”

“Damn, straight to the point huh? Well I just been doing some thinking all day to make sure this is what I want...

“Just tell me I’m a big girl I can handle it,” I interrupted him. To be honest, I prepared myself for the worst.

“Let me finish saying what I was about to say. I know that we haven’t known each other for that long and I’m the last person to rush anything but I want to know if we can try this relationship thing out,” he said.

I was caught off guard so I was speechless. I didn’t know what to say so for a moment I just sat there looking at him to see if he was serious or not. He did not crack one smile so I knew he was dead ass serious.

“Ummm Ahmir I was not expecting this. I don’t know what I was expecting, but this definitely wasn’t it. Are you sure this is something you want to do?” I asked.

“Yeah listen, you must’ve put it on me last night because all I thought about was you. About to have a nigga sprung,” he joked. “But naw on a serious note, I like everything about you. You cool as hell, sweet and not to mention sexy.”

“Whatever! But to answer your question, we can give it a try and see where it leads. As long as I don’t have to deal with any drama from your hoes I’m good because I know you got them.”

“Naw baby not me. I don’t rock like that you should know that. Come over here and give me a kiss.”

We shared a long kiss but I had a funny feeling that we were being watched.
