I carried my tray and went to sit down at the nearby empty, but clean, table. I sat down quickly and picked up my burger with a few fries and began to stuff bites into my mouth like a maniac.
A voice beamed from the front of my table.
“Oh hey mind if I join?” the voice uttered.
I picked up a napkin and wiped my mouth before looking up. Oh, and who else could it be? Nic fucking Reed. I closed my eyes and rolled them then I looked directly at him with a non-teeth smile (not trying to ruin my image anything with the piece of meat in my teeth).
“Sure,” I murmured unenthusiastically.
Nic pulled out a chair, I guess he been sitting out before coming over to my table and sitting down beside me.
“So how are you, Coy?” Nic said weakly rubbing his hand on the back of his neck.
It must be a signature move for him, his hand is always somewhere on his head.
“Could be better, uh, you?” I said through a half stuffed chewing mouth.
“Really great!” he said smiling for no reason.
I looked down at my burger and fries, back up at Nic, then back at my food. As I reached for my burger Nick uttered another sentence.
“So, uh, Coy, you know that school dance on Friday night right?” he asked shyly.
“Yeah,” I said eating a few fries.
I was so oblivious I couldn’t tell he was trying to ask me out. I might have seemed rude or disrespectful on my behalf, but I was fed up mentally and physically.
I looked down at the floor and reached for my phone, I pressed the home button, then began typing in my code.
“Look, Nic, if you’re trying to say something—,”
Nick grabbed my chin and smashed into mine. I was in heaven.
Resisting from temptation and coming to my senses, (which was awful because it would or will lead to the ending of a perfect kiss) I pulled back opening my eyes wide.
“Will you go to the dance with me Coy Clent?” Nic said as he gasped for air silently.
“Sure,” I said casually as I picked up my things and my tray, threw it away, turned around, and exited the fast food place.
I unlocked my car door, and opened it up, jumped inside with the biggest smile on my face, and drove off.
Chapter 23
“You make me feel like a dangerous woman, something ‘bout, something ‘bout you, makes me blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah!” I sang as I danced around the closet in my room.
“We get it Coy, you love Africana Grande’s song. Now stop before you burst my eardrums!” Kingsley shouted from the corner of my room.
“It’s my choice!” I shouted back and continued, but this time humming.
I flipped through my hangers with clothing and brought out a black cropped top with a hugging skirt, that ended right above my knees.
I hopped like a bunny as I put each leg into my skirt. Following that tragedy, I slipped into my top and began walking to my bed.
“Kingsley!” I shouted like an angry grandma.
“Yes, mother!” he replied back, as he walked towards me and sat down.
“I gots to tell you something…” I said in a low tone and peered over at the door.
My mom was home, and she is a mother tracking bot. As in nothing goes unknown in this house. It used to be a lot worse, but after the death of my brother, Asher, and the divorce going on between my mom and my father at the time, she was forced to calm down and live a calmer life.
“Oh, okay, I understand…” Kingsley said smiling as he closed my room door before coming to sit back down near me.
“Spill it girl,” Kingsley said leaning in as if I were going to whisper in his ear.
“Well, I was at In-N-Out,” I said in a low tone.
“Bomb as fuck,” Kingsley said back.
“Yeah, I know. Well anyways, I was eating and then Nic came up to me saying he had a question to ask me. Then he kissed me and asked to go to the lover’s dance on Friday.” I said gasping for air.
“But no big deal!” I said smiling.
Kingsley’s mouth dropped open and he let out a big gasp/
“Oh my god,” Kingsley said as he stood up from the bed and began walking around the room causing me to be dizzy.
“Could you stop that please,” I said politely as I looked at Kingsley.
“Yeah, sorry.” He said as he came back to the bed and sat down.
“I thought he and Harper were still doing that odd thing they considered a relationship,” Kingsley said through furrowed brows.
“Oh yeah, you’ve been a little out of the loop, Tia and I sabotaged Harper because she was cheating on Nic, so he left her and now Harper is dating Jonas publically.” I said out of breath yet again.
“Where have I been?” Kingsley shouted as he fell back on my bed with his hand over his eyes.
“Working at McDonald’s…” I muttered.
“Yeah, you’re probably right,” He replied back as he sat back up with his hands by his side.
“I’m asking dumb questions, what did you say to his question? Did you act like a badass or a shy baby? Did you kiss him back? Oh, and uh nice job with what you and Tia did, I probably would have fucked up.” Kingsley said like a celebrity who was freestyling on the spot.
“I said a simple, sure, I looked like a motherfucking badass too. And well um, I kissed him back, but just a bit, and thanks, I know!” I stated as I flipped my hair after making that statement.
“Aye, that’s my
