chapter 33

Riani Nalani Brown | Riri

Once I finish straightening my side part leave out, I throw on a black skims long sleeve top and some dark grey flared sweats.

I put on the gold tiffany and co necklace with the bracelet that Kiari had got me last week that I've been dying to wear but I was mad at him and didn't wear it, some small gold hoops and my gold rings on some of my fingers.

I put my cropped black puffer jacket on, slide my black fur balenciaga slides on then leave out of the house for school but not before taking pictures of course.

I felt like being cute today but also comfy.

I was in class with my beats over my head as I was writing down the notes in my notebook with my pink pen. I loved writing my notes down in different pen colors and highlight colors, it makes me feel more organized.

I heard the door opening and saw Kiari walking in and heading towards my way. "And your late becausee..?" I keep my eyes on my paper, writing down my notes.

I'm now feeling better towards Kiari. Yesterday after the party, we were on the phone the whole night and even fell asleep on the phone and when i woke up this morning he was still on the phone just sleep which made me happy.

Kam did catch us last night though which made me feel bad, and trust I tried to go after her but she had just left and Ian seen her yet today so I was just planning on going to her place later on because I really didn't want to be mad at my bestie.

"I slept in late being on the phone all night with your ass." He sat in the chair next to me making me smack my teeth.

"I woke up on time feeling great." I shrugged.

"What we doing." He ignored me. "Notes. You just copy mines." I said.

"Why your shit so colorful." He looked at my paper weirdly, making me roll my eyes.

"Mind your business." I looked over at him then I started smiling.

"Wait..Kiari why we matching." I look over his outfit as he also was wearing a plain black tee and dark gray sweats.

He looks over my outfit before smiling. "You right, but I look better in it." He shrugs making me smack my teeth.

"Dragging it now." I mumbled, looking back at my paper. He's distracting me anyways.

"I'm joking. Stop taking everything so literal with your sensitive ass." He mumbles the last part making me glare at him. He looks over at me before smiling. "I'm playing. Give me a kiss." He tries to lean in but I back away. He play to much and now ye wants a kiss from me? Nahh.

"I'm not kissing you in class." I mumbled looking back at the board and writing whatever the fuck she was putting.

I felt him staring at me making me look over at him and he just had a straight face. "Riani stop playing." He pulls my chair closer to him making me try to hold my smile in.

"Movee." I nudge him.

"You so funny acting." He mugged me and I just ignored him, writing my things down.

I felt him put his head on my shoulder as he just scrolled through his phone, not even caring about the work anymore. I was starting to feel a little bad for ignoring him now.

"Kiari." I looked down at him but now his ass was ignoring me.

"I was just joking Kiari." I rolled my eyes, kissing his lips. He looked over at me with a smile. "Now do it again." He puckered out his lips making me laugh.

"All you get is a peck. We're literally in class dude." I motion towards the people who was most definitely paying no attention to us since we were also in the very back of this big ass lecture room.

"Ain't nobody paying us no attention." He mumbled starting to kiss over my neck. Someone needs to come get this freaked out ass nigga.

Knocking on Kams door, I wait for her to answer. I saw her white mercedes outside so I knew she was home.

I did pop up unannounced but I just really wanted to speak to her.

She opened the door as she was wearing a white crop top that looked good on her dark skin and I also noticed that she had got a new hair do which were some small and long boho braids. Kamryn was a really beautiful girl. All of Kiaris family were good looking people, down to the mom and really just everyone when I went to there moms party.

"Hi, I like your hair." I said as my first words. She gave a small smile before letting me in. "Thank you." She said.

Ok so maybe she's not as mad??

I take my jacket and shoes off than we was just standing in silence.

"Kam I'm sorry that I was lying to you about everything and me and Kiaris relationship. I feel like I should have told you and I was wrong for not doing so because we're practically bestfriends now." I said honestly.

She took a moment to reply. "I mean it's really ok forreal. I was just shocked at first and even if we are bestfriends, you weren't obligated to tell me if you weren't ready." She said making me a little shocked at her reaction because I thought she would hate me.

"It's just..Aaliyah was also my bestfriend before and after she started dating my brother it's like she practically dropped me after that and just been rude since. And she was only ever my friend just to get close to Kiari so when I saw you and him kissing...it just took me back to that place." She said.

"Kam, I am not like that i swear. I'm your friend because I genuinely like being your friend and not just because of some boy." I quickly said.

"Oh no, I know you're not like that. I was just saying. And also you kept going on about how Kiari and your brother was lying to you..but you also did the same to me. Although you weren't obligated to tell me anything, you still lied to my face multiple times when I asked you about it...so it's not that I'm mad about y'all, it's just why lie, you know?"

"I know Kam and I really am sorry for lying. I know I was wrong for it but I was scared that you would get mad at me and just stop talking to me and I also wasn't really ready to tell everyone yet." I said.

"Girl I am not them weird ass sisters that be obsessed with their brother and who they are dating/talking to. I'm not mad at you, just wished you wouldn't have lied or atleast said that you were talking to someone without you having to say my brother's name." She shrugged.

"Got it. So besties again?" I held my hands out making her smile.

"Girl, we never stopped." She hugged me back making me smile wider.

"Soo like what's up with yall? Yall dating because they way yall tounges were down each other's throats said a whole lot." She raises a brow as we sit on the couch.

I laugh before shaking my head. "We're in a talking stage right now but like..I don't know how to feel." I huff.

"What do you mean?" She asks confused.

"I feel like we're doing relationship things..but without the relationship part and it's starting to rub me the wrong way now." I honestly said but I bit was my fault though. I feel like we shouldn't of had sex yet without us having that title and no I don't regret and yes it was very good but I just feel like we're doing all this kissing and shit now without us having no real relationship.

"Ouu girl I understand. That's how me and Amari was at first until I told him how I felt and he fixed that real quick...so maybe you should talk to him and be honest." She shrugged.

"I know but it's like...I really like him Kam. Like I do. I like his touch, the way he makes me feel, his genuineness, the way he tries to make time for me, tries to understand me..it's really just a lot that I can't even fully comprehend myself but I feel like if I was to tell him that I want a relationship now, he would do it but purely because I asked and I want him to ask me out on his time and in his own way, you know? I probably sound so dumb right now." I shake my head, throwing my head back.

"No, no. I understand you Riani. You want a relationship where it doesn't feel like you're just in it because you asked but instead because he wanted to." She said and I nodded.

"I don't know a lot about yall relationship but if I'm being honest... I also saw the way he looked at you and the way he always softened up when it came to you and I can tell that he likes you Riani. And your right, you should wait a bit for him to ask but you also shouldn't wait to long because if he really liked you than the wait shouldn't be to long. Give him another two weeks or even a week and I'm sure he's going to ask you out soon. Maybe he just feels like it's too early and wants to wait at a perfect time you know? Make sure you're also putting yourself in his point of view." Kamryn said making me smile.

"You really just give the best advice and I love you for that." I hugged her making her smile.

"Anything for the love birds." She said making me eye her cause love is crazy now.
