Chapter 8
Kendra wakes up the next morning looking next to her seeing Kieran is laying down sleep next to her. She grabs her phone off the dresser texting Monica.
Kendra : Hey girl, Just making sure you got home okay.
She sets her phone down standing up grabbing her some clothes then walks off to the bathroom and begins washing up. When she's done she gets out drying off then puts on some lotion, deodorant and spray then gets dressed.
She walks back to her room stopping in the hallway when she hears Kieran talking to someone on the phone. "No, i'm not gonna tell her anything, she doesn't need to know."
She listens closely But couldn't hear anyone speaking "I'm gonna get dressed and come see you now, I'll text you when I'm on my way."
Kendra walks into the room "I'll call you back later dad, Talk to you later." He hangs up the phone "Good morning" He says to Kendra.
"Morning"
He stands "Sorry, I ended up crashing here last night."
"It's fine, you wasn't bothering me"
"Well i'm gonna go wash up" He leaves the room closing the door behind him. "Who could he have been on the phone with?" She questions.
She waits until he gets out of the shower and gets dressed then goes and knocks on his door. "Come in" She walks inside to see him putting on his jacket.
"Where you off to?"
"I'm just gonna go hang out with A couple of friends"
"Can I come along? I'm bored and don't have anything else to do"
"I don't know if you'll wanna come, i'm gonna be hanging out with some friends at the court"
"Well i'll just stand on the side line and cheer you on" She smiles at him. "Um, I don't know."
"See, you're lying to me again Kieran, if you're my best friend then stop lying to me!" She yells at him "you going to see that bitch ain't you?"
"I'm not going to see Ava, relax, If I told you i'm done with her then i'm done with her, ain't nothing left there."
"So who are you going to see?" She stands there with her arms crossed "I heard you talking on the phone saying you're gonna get dressed and go see someone, it probably is that bitch Ava"
"You sound A little bit jealous" He laughs.
"I'm not jealous of that bitch I just don't want you doing anything dumb again."
"So trust me when I tell you i'm not going to see Ava" He walks over to her grabbing her shoulders "Trust me"
"Okay, I'm sorry."
"It's fine" He hugs her "You know I love you."
"I love you too" She wraps her arms around him tightly resting her face in his chest. "Okay, you can let me go now" He laughs.
"Sorry" She let's go of him "Be safe."
"Okay, i'll text you when i'm on my way back"
"Okay" She follows him downstairs and he kisses her on the cheek before leaving.
******************************
Later on around 7:35pm Kendra is taking A nap in her room when she's woken up by someone tapping her. She opens her eyes to see Kieran standing there "Kendra, Come here real quick"
"Come where?"
"Downstairs, I got something to show you"
She rubs her eyes before standing and follows him out the door and downstairs into the living room.
"What is all of this for?" There was Pizza, wings, garlic bread, soda, chips and candy on the table.
"I wanted to bless you because you've been such a good best friend to me, you've shown me that I do deserve better and shouldn't be falling for someone like Ava, I love you and i'm glad I have you in my life, And I also put on your favorite movie" He smiles.
"this is so nice, i've never had anyone do anything like this for me before, thank you" She walks over to him hugging him.
"You know I got you anytime, now let's sit down and eat" They walk over to the couch sitting down and covering up with some blankets then starts to eat.
It's about 25 minutes in when Kieran pauses the movie "I need to speak to you about something."
"What's up?"
"What i'm about to say I don't want you to feel weirded out by it or anything okay?"
"What's wrong? now you're scaring me"
He grabs her hands taking A deep breath "You told me to work on finding the right person and I've found her, She's been in front of me this whole time."
"What do you mean?" She already knew the answer to that question, She was just shocked.
"I've had some time to think about stuff and honestly the only one I want in my life is you."
Kendra sits there in silence then busts out laughing "Stop playing around"
"I'm not playing Kendra."
She quickly stops laughing "You're serious for real?"
"I'm deadass, I know you're probably shocked and wondering where I came from with this but over these past years I've learned that you're A sweet girl, you're loyal to your friends and family, you're obviously beautiful, you're funny, you're beyond funny, you're just incredible and I feel like me and you together could work out"
Kendra opens her mouth wanting to say something but no words come out her mouth.
"Are you good?" He asks.
"I have to go" Kendra stands but he grabs her arm. "Please, tell me what's on your mind." He stands.
"Just let me be, I have to think about stuff." She pulls her hand away and walks off upstairs to her room closing and locking the door behind her. She takes A deep breath walking over to her bed sitting down.
