—RILEY.

We all knew this was going to be a challenge, Although we found there keys to the storage for the car meaning we'd have to distract the person covering for James tonight.

"What the fuck did you make him do?" Isaiah chuckles at Jahseh's question. "We made him chuck a whole bottle of sprite, Then we made him do 20 turns around the bottle then run".

I was so confused on how James just passed out, But it does sound like something James would be capable of.

The boys sit James's un-conscious body on the one of the backseats strapping him in, I giggle to myself seeing how complicated tonight has gotten.

Holding the bag of popcorn in my hand just kept replaying our heated moment over and over again.

"Come in" Jahseh instructed me, I feel those butterflies again. He made it seem as if nothing happened.

This sure was a crazy night. I feel his hand placed onto my thigh, "Alright, So you and Isaiah go and distract whoever is there and me and Riley will go-" Stokeley cuts off Jahseh by saying, "No monkey business".

I feel my cheeks burn up, And Jahseh's tone turned serious. "Fine, Isaiah and Riley can go in and distract, That way I can stay back here with James and Stokeley can precede to drive".

Isaiah gave me a funny look, I look over Jahseh seeing James. I thought I could share what happened tonight with James but James wasn't the type to hold in something as juicy as that.

"You alright?" Jahseh questioned me, I nod smiling as I place my head onto his shoulder. Seeing his phone overload with notifications. I then remembered who he was.

It's as if I had hit reality, I could never be with Jahseh. It was a fantasy just going on in my head.

"I think we should all go" The boys turn to me. "If me and Isaiah don't get lucky and whoever is monitoring they'll know something's up" Stokeley coughes before saying, "Alright, Let's do this shit".

➥ "I swear he's heavier than he looks" says a Complaining Isaiah.

I shake my head as I insert the key into the lock. I had some what of a plan if they were to question us, We'd say we were instructed to do so.

Jahse helps me lift the white garage door, Stepping aside letting Stokeley do the math for his reverse parking.

I felt anxious, Wondering if this would work or flop. So far everything seemed like it was going well.

Stokeley was succsessful I see him checking around the seats before closing the car door lightly. "Keys?" We all turn our heads to a Un-prepared Isaiah, He dug in James back pocket tossing the keys to Stokeley who stood aside the car analyzing it.

"I hope I can get one of these in the future" I smile as I make my way to Jahseh and Isaiah watching as he put the keys back in place.

We seemed to be successful as I did the miners of locking up the garage, We Waited along the curb waiting for the taxi.

I pull the left over money which was stuck in my back pocket, "For the taxi" Stokeley smiled as he thanked me, "Thank you... All of you for always having fun and letting me come along".

The boys seem to smile and nod their heads as If it were nothing. "I think the best choice right now would be letting James stay the night- Riley you as well".

I looked at the boys who were willing to let me stay in their home, My aunt came to mind once more. I would rather be happy as of right now then stay in a locked room listening to ongoing complaints. Beginning to think about taking that movie theatre option.

➥ "So is he all alright?" I watch as Jahseh closed the door behind me before shaking his head referring to his tiredness.

"Yeah, Isaiah said you could use this and that his sister wouldn't mind" I nod my head giving him a smile as I watch him stare me down.

I feel awkward wearing his oversized clothes, I was used to the right crop hugging my figure.

"Can I stay here with you tonight?" I put my phone beside me as I focus on him. I wat has he throws his new fresh shirt on the ground before laying all of his weight on top of me.

"No warning?" I giggle as I squirm under him. It was as if he were numb to fun tonight.

"You alright?" I lays his chin on my chest making me look down at him, "No, But I feel comforted now".

"I hate feeling like shit" I asf he's him lay his check on my, I couldn't help but play in his small growing dreads.

It was silent for a while before he was as still as a lifeless body, I just laid there hoping the lights would just cut out.

It angered me that I couldn't get up although I forced my eyes shut, Hugging his figure and feeling his warm body on mine was all I needed as of tonight.
