addresses to each other. We had just met and I liked him already, maybe we could work something out.  

 

Nick

 

Callie. Callie. Callie. The only name that runs through my mind, the only face I can see, I had just met this girl and I was sprung already, so sad. I had just texted her telling her that we were gonna hang tomorrow and was even happier when she said okay and gave me her address. “Nick” I hear my dad yell, he must've just got home I sit my laptop down on my bed jumping up and walking out of my room. “Up here” I say looking down from the stairs, he looks up and waves me down. I sigh slowly walking down the stairs, it was just me and my dad now that my mom walked out on us 2 years ago, I was an only child so that was kinda good. My dad’s a lawyer so I pretty much get what I want and our new house is really nice and big. My dad and I actually look alike, we’re both tall and muscular, both have good hair although my dad has a fresh haircut, he keeps cutting it. I liked living with my dad, we got along just fine and he let me do what I wanted as long as it was nothing bad and he wasn't so strict. I walk into the kitchen where my dad was taking off his tie and drinking some juice I sit at the table. “Hey, how was work and where have you been, you should've been home?” He chuckles drinking the rest of his juice and setting the cup in the sink. “Well first of all work was great for the first day, and secondly I'm the dad I question you, but just so you know I went over to a co-worker’s house. She was helping me with some paperwork” I raise my eyebrows “she?” He nods leaning against the countertop, my dad didn't date much, he said he was too focused on me and his work. “Is she pretty?” He smirks crossing his arms and looking away from me “absolutely beautiful, but I try not to mix business with pleasure” I roll my eyes “oh come on dad” he sits in front of me. “Anyways, how was your first day at the school?” He loved doing that, changing the subject when we talked about him dating again “it was good, made some new friends”

“Thats good, meet any cute girls?” I chuckle glancing at him “plenty of cute girls, but I met this one gorgeous girl today, she’s awesome” my dad smiles raising his eyebrows. “Ooohh okay, well are you thinking about getting with her?”

“Dad I just got here, but yeah soon” he laughs his deep laugh that we had alike “you do that then” he declares getting up and heading out of the kitchen pulling on my dreads as he heads out.

“Ouch fathead” Callie says giggling as we’re walking around in the wall I laugh pinching her bare stomach again and this time she leans toward me biting my cheek. We both crack up when she does that, “you’re a biter huh?” I ask grabbing her hand and holding it in mine, she doesn't pull away either “yes sir” I just chuckle. She had on a flowery half shirt, some jean high waist shorts, and some pink sandals, her hair was up in a bun and she had on some red lipstick. She was looking sexy as hell, I on the other hand had on some khaki shorts, a white tee, and my white and blue Legend Blue Jordan sneakers. My dreads were pulled into a ponytail, Cal oftenly pulled on them, she said she loved my dreads. “Let’s go get some ice cream” she suggests pulling on my hand and arm “aight” I say as we head to the ice cream shop that was located in the mall. I really liked her, she was sweet, funny, easygoing, and she had a banging body, and her whole personality was just loveable.

“So, you live with your dad?” She asks once we get our ice cream and we’re sitting down at a table, I nod licking my spoon “yeah, my mom walked out on us about 2 years ago, so it’s just us.” She nods eating some of her ice cream “what about you?”

“Well my parents divorced when I was 13 and I wanted to stay with my mom so I did and my dad moved to Florida, I’m guessing you’re an only child” I smile at her “yes ma’am I am, you?”

“Yes sir I am” I chuckle she just smiles. “Taste this” she says putting some ice cream on her spoon and putting it in my face I make a face “nope” she laughs “please”

“It’s call triple nipple fudge, that can't be good” she laughs rolling her eyes “just try it.” I let her feed me the ice cream, it actually was good “see, I told you it was good”

“Yeah yeah, your turn” I reply putting some ice cream on my spoon and feeding it to her “mmm, thats good, give me some more” I laugh shaking my head. “No my sista, you gots to get yo own” she cracks up at that “you’re so silly” I laugh then “I know” I put some more on my spoon feeding it to her. I loved her laugh, I loved making her smile and blush, every little thing she did made me like her even more. “Were you upset that you had to move away your senior year?” She asks crossing her legs I shrug “yeah I was, but my dad got a new job offer, the one he’s always wanted so I didn't make a big deal out of it.” She stares at me for a while which makes me blush and that makes her laugh “ooh I got you to blush”

“Better cherish that one” she laughs again sitting up “that was really sweet of you, to not make a big deal out of moving” he nods putting his hand over mine on the table. “Because I’m a sweet guy Ms. Callie Cal” she smiles interlocking our fingers, this girl was really doing something to me.

“Man you cheated” Zack mumbles as we’re playing videogames the next day at his house. I laugh rolling my eyes “sure I did”

“You did, let’s take a break cause a nigga is hungry” we walk out of his room downstairs to the kitchen. His house was really nice and his parents were too, he was a cool guy also, I sit to the table as he pulls two sodas out of the refrigerator and then walks into the pantry. “So, you like my girl Cal huh?” Just the mention of her name makes me smile “yeah, we hung out yesterday” he comes back to the table with chips then goes to the freezer and takes out some pizza rolls. “Oh forreal?”

“Yeah, she didn't tell you?” he takes out a plate and sets some pizza rolls on it “nah, imma get her too” I chuckle taking my phone out of my pocket. I had three text messages one from Callie, one from my dad, and one from my best friend Jake, he was back in Indiana but he was gonna come visit for spring break which was coming up soon. I text Callie back first of course, then Jake, then my dad, he just wanted to know when I would be home. Zack comes back to the table with the plate of pizza rolls “she’s incredible isn't she?” He asks glancing at me “heck yeah she is, do you think I can get with her?”

“Shit, yeah you can, I talked to her Friday night and last night, you were all she could talk about, was getting on my nerves” I laugh, I loved the fact that Callie talked about me a lot. I open my soda drinking some of it “you know you my boy now and I like you and all, but if you hurt Callie I might have to whoop your ass” now that cracks me up and I look at him but he looked serious. He really did care for Callie, it was sweet “aight man, I understand, but you ain't gotta worry about that, I promise on my life I wont hurt her, besides we arent even together yet”

“Hey word, yet, but okay I hear you” he eats a pizza roll. “How long have yall been best friends?” I ask curiously because they seemed to have a strong relationship. “Pretty much all of our lives, my mom and her mom were best friends in high school they still are, they both got pregnant at the same time, we were born 4 months apart. So since they were best friends we grew up as best friends” no wonder they were so close “well dang, thats wassup though” he nods drinking some of his soda. “Okay enough with the wishy washy, ready for me to kick your butt again?”

“Bring it on nigga” I say laughing and following him upstairs.

Zack

 

“Zack Charles Lawson” I groan and put my pillow over my head when I hear my mom yelling my name. It was Wednesday and I didn't not feel like going to school, Monday was a bad day, Tuesday was a bad day, so I was not going today. My mom bangs on my door then walks right in “dang ma, I didn't say come in”

“I dont give a damn, I pay the bills here, not you, now get your butt up before you be late for school” I take my pillow off my head looking at my mom who was already dressed for work. “I’m not feeling good” she stares at me for while “are you lying to me?”

“No ma’am, I’m forreal” she sighs rolling her eyes “okay, you can stay home, but don't tear my house up” I chuckle “no worries.” She walks over to me and kisses my forehead “I’m leaving now, call me if you need me, love you”

“Okay I will, love you too” she walks out closing the door behind her. I reach over the side of my bed grabbing my phone off the charger I had 2 missed calls both from my girlfriend Tamia. Then I had three messages from Callie so I hurry up and call her first. “Hello” she says on the second ring “wassup, you good?” I ask as
