You think I'm crazy, I am.
I love you like I love Cray Cray
I do.
I love you like I like to get high.
I do
I sang out loudly with SZA on my speaker. I swear when she writes her songs it's as if she has me in mind. But the song I love the most in the 'Comethru' album is 'Bed', everything she says there is exactly how I feel.
So dark yet sexy and she is sexy. I was so into singing and dancing along with SZA that I didn't see K standing by my doorway watching me amused.
I turned around screaming and all he did was chuckle. "What the hell you creep?!" I yelled at him trying to calm my too fast-beating heart down.
"Well, I was coming in here to tell you to keep the noise down but then I saw you dancing I thought I might as well enjoy the show. Have to say Foxie, you sure do got moves."
"Cause I'm me, I'm me revenge is my thing. Watch em bleed, I like it yeah I like it!" I sang that part out loudly to show my annoyance causing K to laugh and leave my room with his hands up in surrender.
Today I was going back home so I was packing my bags. I still hadn't decided how long I was going to stay there. I sure did miss my friends and family.
And as if on cue, Una called me. "Hey ya hoe!"wow I've been away for a few months and things haven't changed with her.
"Hey, Una. How are you doing?" I replied.
"I'm good, heard from mma you coming back. Why ain't you tell us?"
"I wanted it to be a surprise but since mma has a hard time keeping secrets, this will be the last I ever told her."
"When will you learn... remember the time she told Andi that you didn't want to see him and you had asked her to tell him you were at Zeighs house. You had to avoid him for a whole week after that." She said laughing at the memory and I laughed along with her.
"Yeah. I don't think mma ever liked him." I say.
"That's because I didn't...!" I hear mma shout which made us laugh even harder..."And how could you say I was drunk. You should've just told his ass that I hated him although he was good looking but point is I hated him!" Mma spat over the phone making me cringe when she talked about his appearance. He was good looking though which made him an ass cause girls were all over him.
"Really mma? C'mon its water under the bridge. I'm not with him anymore."
"Whatever you say, sweetie, we all know you both are gonna fool around again...but anyways what time are you gonna get here?"
"Around midday mma." I responded ignoring the comment about 'fooling around again'. Pfft as if eye roll
"Okay baby. Ndi a mufuna."
"I love you too. See you guys later." With that, I hung up and finished packing. I had made up my mind, I'd only survive a week there. So a week's packing would be efficient. Yes. I said agreeing with myself.
I took a shower and got dressed. Went into the kitchen and ate a bowl of cereal looking at the time. I'd have to get out the house by 11 o'clock for the airport.
The flight home was about two hours long. I kept on thinking about what my mom had said about Andi and I, which was kind of true. We always fell back into the same old patterns no matter how much we hurt each other.
"So what time are you leaving?" K asked me pulling me out of my thoughts.
"Uhh around 13:00," I replied
"Would you like a ride to the airport?" He asked
"Yeah sure. That's if you're not busy."
"That's why I asked foxie." He said smiling, I smiled back with a nod. I finished eating and it was already half 10. Might as well leave now I thought to myself.
"Okay, I'm done. We can go K." I said to him going to fetch my back from my room. It was a duffel bag and a backpack. He took my duffel bag and slung it over his shoulder opening the door for me and locked behind him. We walked over to his car which was an Audi R8 making me think how rich was he.
"Uhh K, what is it your family does?" I asked looking over at him for a second but went back to admiring my favourite car. It was so beautiful.
"We run a family business foxie..." he said laughing at my admiration for the car..." but we need to go now if you don't want to be late for your flight." Oh yeah. I'm going back home. Totally forgot.
"So how long will you be gone for?" He asked as he looked at me for a brief moment before returning his attention to the road.
"Why? What do you want to do with the apartment?" I asked suspiciously
"Nothing I swear. Just want to know how long my friend will be gone. Is that so wrong?" He asked innocently.
"If that's the case. A week. I think that's how long I can survive in that house before it becomes suffocating."
"Suffocating? Why do you say that?" He asked.
"Don't get me wrong, I love my family to death. But they're too nosy! I'll get questions about ' who your new boyfriend?' ,' how's your apartment?' ,' are you studying hard enough?' ,' I hope all those boys aren't a distraction'.
And I hate questions about my life unless I decided to tell you about it. Just hate their nosiness with my personal life you know" I replied getting angrier about what's to come when I get home.
"Wow. That seems like a lot. Why don't you just tell them to back off?"
"Try telling a Venda family to back off your personal life, I tell you now mister you have opened a case for emotional therapy. And I can't deal with emotional blackmail." I replied laughing but not really.
He kept quiet as he took the exit to the airport. As soon as we got there he took my bags and escorted me inside until I checked my ticket. He gave me my bags and just looked at me.
"What?" I ask worried I have something on my face. "omg do I have something on my face?"
"No. Your face is perfect..." he said quickly and then cleared his throat his cheeks turning a slight shade of red which was really cute, he put his hand at the back of his neck looking everywhere but me.
"Ncaaw little ol' Khalil is going to miss me," I said teasing.
"Well, I won't lie. Nobody will entertain me as much as you do with your horrible dancing." He teased back.
I laughed and pushed him. "Mxm. I'll miss you too man." I said looking at him. He pulled me into a hug which I have to say lasted too long as a friendly hug. He kissed me on my forehead and mumbled a goodbye.
"Travel safe yeah. And call me when you get home please." He said before letting me go.
"Yes sir!" I saluted making him laugh.
"See ya foxie."
"Bye K. And don't burn down the apartment. It better not smell like sex when I come back!" I sassed laughing. Well until next week Khalil. I'm really going to miss him. But it's just a week man!
