I woke up the next day in Stokeley's bed. I felt his arms wrapped tightly around my waist. His chest heaved up and down on my back, while he snored lightly.

I grabbed my phone off the night stand and checked the time.

2:51 p.m.

Indya🙄💞👯: Bitch where are you? you always fucking disappearing w/out saying shit 10:58 p.m

Indya🙄💞👯: Nvm Stokeley told me you were with him 11:07 p.m

Indya🙄💞👯: Im so drunk LMAAO who am I texting? 3:17 a.m

Indya🙄💞👯: love you, finna get some dick ttyl😘 3:26 a.m

I goofily smiled at her text messages and locked my phone back.

I removed Stokeley's arm from around me and sat up. My head was pounding so hard I almost thought it was about to explode, literally.

"Ow fuck" I mumbled grabbing the side of my head.

I looked over and seen Stokeley shirtless. He was knocked out with his mouth slightly open. I removed the covers off of me and got out the bed slowly. I left out of his room and went across the hall to his bathroom. I closed the door behind me and went over to the sink, opening up the mirror hoping to find some ibuprofens or some type of pain pills for this headache.

To my luck, I found a bottle of Aleves. I took two out and turned on the sink water, I took one pill at a time then scooped some water in my hands and drunk it down.

I turned the water off then flung my hands into the sink.

I dried my hands off on the oversized shirt I had on then went over to the toilet to do my business.

Once I was done with everything, I left the bathroom and went back into Stokeley's room.

He was still asleep so I sat down on the bed besides him and stared at him. I wanted to mess with him because I was bored and I didn't want to be up alone.

I squeezed his cheeks together a couple of times but that didn't do anything.

"Stokeley" I said tapping his chin.

He didn't move an inch.

I grabbed my phone and decided to take a picture of him while he slept, and send it to Indya.

I snapped the picture, sent it, then sat my phone back down.

"Stokeley!" I said slapping him in his arm.

He closed his mouth and opened an eye only a little.

"Wake up. Its 2 in the afternoon, we need to get up"

"Give me 2 seconds" He said closing his eye back.

I counted to two in my head, then shook him.

"Okay. Get up!"

He kissed his teeth and tried to pull the covers over his head, but I pulled them right back down. I got up and drug the whole cover off the bed making him kiss his teeth again.

"Stokeley. Up. Now" I said just standing there.

After 10 minutes of trying to get him up, he was finally out of the bed. After I took my shower and got dressed in the clothes I had left over from times I spent the night at his house, he got in.

I was in the bathroom mirror fixing up my hair when he turned the shower water off.

"Don't look at me" He said.

"Or do I mean I don't really care, its up to you" He said pulling back the shower curtains.

"Just get your towel and get out Stokeley" I said not looking at him.

"I get dressed in the bathroom" He said.

"Well hurry, please"

I said turning on the sink water and grabbing my tooth brush. I squeezed tooth paste on my tooth brush then began to brush my teeth.

"Asia look" He said.

And then I heard a fapping sound.

At the corner of my eye I could see that he had both of his hands up in the air and was moving his hips from side to side.

I spit the tooth paste out of my mouth and just stood there staring at myself in the mirror.

He laughed before wrapping his towel around his waist, then leaving the bathroom.

I began to brush my teeth again.

Stokeley and I arrived at ihop 30 minutes later. He found a parking spot and we both got out. We walked up to the restaurant and he held the door open for me.

"Awe what a gentleman" I smiled walking past him.

He smirked and followed me inside. A waiter came over and seated us at a table by a window. Stokeley sat across from me while the waiter asked for our drinks.

"Water" I replied

"Sprite"

The waiter gave us our menus before walking off.

"You were out of there last night" He spoke.

"What do you mean?"

"What did you have to drink? At that club?"

"Ohhh.. Lala bought me six cups of Vodka and orange juice" I said trying to remember what all I did last night.

"Oh that girl.." He said trailing off.

"Yeah. Why'd you say it like that?" I asked.

"No reason" He said looking down at his menu.

I looked down at mine and read over it to see what I had wanted. That's when I heard Stokeley chuckling, which made me look back up at him.

"You tried to fuck me outside" He said while still laughing.

"No the hell, im not like that" I scoffed.

"Thats what I thought too."

"That is so gross and unsanitary" I said shaking my head feeling a little embarrassed.

"If you were sober I probably would've fucked you out there" He said.

"I would never try to do anything like that if I was sober Stokeley stop. I don't want to talk about that"

"Ight, Ight."

Not soon after the waiter came back with our drinks and took our orders. We waited for 5 minutes and then the waiter came back with our food.

Stokeley got fries and a hamburger, while I had eggs,bacon,pancakes, and sausage like it was still breakfast time.

Stokeley reached over and grabbed a piece of bacon off my plate.

"Stokeley! You have your own food" I whined while he ate it.

"It looked like you didn't want it" He said.

"I didn't get to my bacon yet, I wanted to eat the eggs first" I frowned at him.

He shrugged.

I wanted to ask him about last night but I was scared. The only thing I could remember when I was drunk is when he told me he liked me. Unless I was tripping again.

He had to have said that though, because how come I only remembered that and nothing else?

I looked up at him and decided to speak up.

"Did you tell me you liked me last night?"

He shrugged.

"Yeah"

"So you do like me? Like more than a friend?"

"I'd rather we not really talk about it. I like us being friends, and nothing more. Im not trying to ruin no good friendships" He said.

Which was understandable but my feelings were lowkey hurt.

"When do you go back to school?" He asked changing the subject.

"In a month" I groaned.

"Good luck" He chuckled.

"Speaking of school, how come you don't go? How old are you? Im not a stranger anymore, you can tell me"

He laughed a little before speaking.

"Im 20"

"Thats not so bad. You had me thinking you were in your late 30's"

"Do I look like im in my late 30's?"He asked showing some offense in his voice.

"No" I laughed.

"Good, I was shook" He said as we laughed.

"Stokeley?" I heard a female voice say from behind me.

Stokeley looked up while some mixed girl walked up to our table smiling.

"Omg its me, Carly!"She said making his eyes light up.

"Carly, wassup?" He said getting up.

They exchanged a long tight hug while she laughed. I sat there awkwardly not knowing what was going on and who she was or how they knew each other.

"Look at you!" She exclaimed pulling away to look at him.

"I know, im still ugly" He said chuckling.

"No you're far from that. You look so good! And you've gotten taller" She said.

I continued to eat my food while they talked about unnecessary things about how she just moved back in town and etc.

"This your new girlfriend?" I heard her ask.

I looked up and they were both looking at me.

"Uh.. no. She's just my friend" He tried to say quietly, but I still heard him.

"Im Carly, Stokeley's first love" She smiled.

I nearly choked on my eggs when she said that. First love?

"You okay?" He asked while I patted my chest.

"Im good. Thanks" I said giving them a fake smile.

"Well, Carly this Asia. She's a real cool girl" He introduced.

"She looks cool" Carly said.

I nervously smiled at them before excusing myself to go to the bathroom.

First love? Back in his life??

Great.
