Jazmine's POV

Thud!

It is the 10th of December, holiday season, good times in the air. And I could now say I was officially over that wack ass excuse of a man Cairo. I wasn't going to be one of those women hung up on their ex boyfriend. He was in the past I mean I wish I could tell him off, beat his ass, but no he wasn't worth it. Karma would take good care of him. I realized he never loved me he loved the idea that I was in love with him. Honestly though after having time to reflect I don't think I ever was in love either. The past month I took the time to go on a self love journey. Listening to music, staying in, studying for school, most importantly just learning to love myself first. I didn't need a man to be happy, relationships could wait, I told myself. This stood true until one day I decided to call Huey...

Like he said call him when I was over Cairo, the phone call wasn't to pursue him. I just wanted to see what he's been up to I swear. Believe me men were the least of my concern. However, I didn't think I could stay away from this one... We ended up making plans to meet up at a restaurant to catch up but it didn't go as planned. Huey had somewhere to go so I told him to just come over when he can, it was before he had to go to work. We were talking… and then well 20 minutes later we we're making out on my couch. As I said before it wasn't the plan. I can't explain it, it just happened. Now here we are, two weeks once again wrapped up in a heated make out session.

My things clatter to the floor as I clear the stuff off my dresser quickly as Huey lifts me up top there. He continues his vicious kisses that I can't seem to get enough of. Another Thud! He pushes me back further into my mirror and deepens the kiss. Our tongues fight for dominance ultimately neither one of us comes out the winner instead they dance swiftly together. I pull back for air and to take off Huey's shirt who concurs. His mouth latches onto my neck leaving warm kisses then sucking, licking, and biting. That will definitely leave a mark but I don't care he's so good at this it makes me forget.

Huey's definitely testing the waters right now. Literally, because there is a pool in my panties at the moment. I wrap my legs around his waist tighter than before and feel his hardness through my clothes. Which wasn't much cloth because I had on night clothes. It is about 9pm, I'm wearing pajama shorts and a spaghetti strap tank top. The small friction between us was driving me insane it's like nothing else mattered. So exhilarating. Huey's lips travel back up to my mouth and catch mine once again in a smoldering hot kiss. Unexpectedly his hands squeeze my ass making me scooch up further digging my hand into his afro. His big hands practically had a handful of my behind and I was enjoying the contact.

Boom! Boom! Boom! There's pounding at my door. 'My bell just doesn't work or something?'

"Jaz are you good?!" It's my two best friends but it really sounds like the freaking police. 'Damn!' I mentally scream, This continues to happen if it's not them then it's Huey's friends if it's not them then it's work or school. Something is always interrupting us from getting further than kissing. Don't get me wrong I don't want to have sex with Huey so soon, especially when we're not even dating! But goddamn can a girl get felt on or something of that nature.

"Who is that?" Huey breaks the kiss.

"Cindy and Asia." To add on to a list of problems they aren't really Huey's biggest fans right now.

"Guess we got to stop." He tries to leave from between my legs but I keep them in the same position around him firmly.

"No, no, no," I say frantically, desperate to have his soft lips on mine. We could just ignore them.

Huey cocks an eyebrow, "Let me go." He says with no conviction in his voice. I shake my head no with a grin and Huey's mouth forms a smirk. He locks lips with me once more but the banging won't let up. Irritated, we both stop and he pulls my thighs from around him.

I groan, "It sounds like they're trying to break the door down."

"Better answer it before they succeed."

"Fine stay here." I point at Huey.

"Well I mean there's nowhere else to go." He shrugs smartly. I roll my eyes and grab my silk robe off the chair.

"I mean it, don't leave the room or make a sound." Huey nods, looking disinterested, grabbing his phone, and taking a seat on my bed.

I try to look presentable knowing damn well I look a mess right now. All disheveled my hair in a messy bun and my lips swollen.

"Jazmine if you don't open up this door in 5 seconds I swear…" Oh god I try to straighten up quickly.

"That's it we finna kick this door down." I swing the door open before they can.

I fake yawn and stretch upward, "What are you guys doing. It's late." I put on my best sleepy voice.

"Finally." Asia says walking in with Cindy following in suit.

"We was texting yo yellow ass and ain't get no answer. So we came to check on ya white ass." I squint my eyes in confusion at my blonde friend's statement.

"Cindy you're the whitest one here."

"Nevermind that. Is yo ass okay? We heard thumping and shit." So that's why they were acting like the cops, they heard all that? Now I have to explain this somehow some way.

"No noise here probably was the neighbors, ya know we have thin walls." I lie terribly. They look at me observingly walking around the living room. Then back to me, I just know I look guilty.

"Mhmm… Mchater here?"

"Who?" I play dumb.

"Huey."

"Of course not why would you think that?"

"He's not? Huh. So what's that on your neck?" My eyebrows furrow in confusion when Cindy says this. I mentally facepalm. Looks like Huey really did leave a hickey there.

"What?" I act dumb again.

"A hickey." Asia points out.

"Ohhh yeah that. I uh burned myself earlier." I gulp. My friends bust out laughing.

"Jaz you're a horrible liar." Asia says.

Cindy agrees, "Plus everyone makes that lie. Could've at least picked sumthin' else."

"It's true, I did."

Cindy crosses her arms, "Really? With what?" I open my mouth to say something but get stumped.

"Okay you got me, someone is here but it's not Huey." I wink.

"Ohhh shidd Jazzy done bossed up." Cindy nods her head approvingly.

"Alright I see you girl moving on from that hater."

"Yeah but it's nothing serious."

"So who is he?"

"Just know I have options."

"Ooh girl I hear that. Forget Huey non committing ass." For someone who can't really tell lies that good I sure was doing great. It's ironic just before my friends even said I was bad but they were eating this up.

"Yeah only calling you at night when he feels like it. 'You up?' headass. I told you about him doing that shit's wack. Don't settle for it. He probably messes with other girls too… Anyways, I'm glad you decided to run the same game." Cindy just had to drag it. Now why did she have to say that, got me thinking real hard right now.

"Always got back up but if you don't mind. I'd like to get back to what you guys interrupted."

"Oop ok Ms. Freak."

"Might have to call you Jazzy Freak instead." Cindy jokes.

I laugh then my lips press into a line, "Yeah don't do that." They laugh in response.

"I hope he didn't hear us talking about he who shall not be named." I really hope Huey didn't hear what they said about him. They just didn't understand.

"Aw yeah my bad for that."

"It's good now bye guys. See ya later. Love ya." I push them out the door in a hurry.

"Uhh ok. Damn! Um love ya too!" They rush out as I slam my door and put my back against the door. Letting out a breath of relief.

I don't like lying to my friends or in general but I don't want to hear them tell me what I'm doing is wrong. They could be a lot, sometimes it's only because they care about me. I finally walk back into my room ready to get back to what we do. However Huey was fully clothed now putting on his shoes.

"Want to finish what we started?" I grin suggestively but he doesn't look up. Hmm maybe he didn't hear me.

"The coast is clear." I say louder, still no answer. Ok now he was just full blown ignoring me. Huey continues tying his shoes.

"Hey! Where are you going?" I wave in his field of vision.

"Work." He answers shortly, still not looking at me.

"Why are you acting like that? Something wrong?"

Huey finally looks up, "Why'd you lie?"

"Come on it's Cindy and Asia. They'd throw a whole fit about why I shouldn't be messing with you still." I say hoping he doesn't turn this into a big deal.

"Yeah I get that but why say you're with another guy...unless that part is true."

"What part? Huh?" He was confusing the heck out of me.

"You having options."

"I know you're not seriously mad that I said that. Really Huey?" I regret letting that slip. I didn't want this to turn into an argument.

"Why are you dodging the question?"

"I'm not!" I just wasn't comprehending what the problem is here.

Huey scoffs, "Should've known I was just a rebound to you."

"For your information Huey I don't talk to anyone else. I said that to get my friends off my back." He's awfully quiet.

I continue, "You're the one I should really be questioning. Am I the only girl you see? Probably not, I saw a girl trying to swallow your tongue at your club not too long ago. So inform me Huey am I the only female in the picture? " His silence is my answer. I frown, it hurts that it's more.

"Mhmm yeah you real silent now, nothing to say? That proves it so you can't even be upset. Unless you can tell me otherwise." I look at him waiting for an answer.

"That's not the point. Look I got to go to work. We can finish this another time." I roll my eyes. We weren't going to finish this another time I wasn't dumb. This was his way of avoiding the conversation we needed to have.

"It's whatever Huey, it's not like we are dating anyway." I instantly regret my statement when Huey's face turns into a scowl.

"OH. That's how you feel?!"

I look down, "I honestly don't know how to feel about this...I mean it's the truth isn't?"

"Well then I guess I'll let you figure it out then. I'll see myself out." His response made me feel indifferent. Ugh I just wanted him to show that he cared to work this out. But no he always leaves when things get serious.

I scoff, "Yeah you do that."

"Fine!' Huey says strongly.

"Fine!" I huff and cross my arms.

We share one last look waiting for the other to crack. Before he stalks out my room and slams my front door. Making me jump up startled by the loud sound. I lay back on my bed regret letting him leave like that. I shouldn't have said to him... well in a different way because it was still the truth. Though it could be my fault because we never exactly decided what this thing we had going on was. I knew one thing though I wasn't going to let a man treat me bad again. I made that vow and have to stick by it. Also, I wasn't worried, Huey would get over it in a day or two. He and I both know we can't be mad at each other for long. I was too stubborn for my own good sometimes but Huey was too even more so than me. However, One of us was going to give in and it wouldn't be me.
