As Long As You Know
Chapter 6.5
Christen's POV
I stayed at Keonte's for a good 3 hours just talking about the old times, you know pre-Omari, and he even
got me to laugh a couple of times. I'm usually a happy person, and I hated crying, but I must admit it felt
good to get that out, I feel better though. When I got home, I just knew my parents were gonna take me
through interrogation but they just said hello, sat down to dinner and left me alone, my sister or brother
weren't home and that was always good. My sister would've been all up in my business and my brother
would've been trying to track down Omari so he could kill him. I think I'ma just go to room and try to
sleep this off.
"Hey, boo" (my parent's nickname for me), my mom said in a caring tone
"Hi, momma, hey daddy," I said stopping in the kitchen for some water
"Hey," my dad said stuffing his face with fried chicken and cabbage
"Where's Candace and Chris?" (my sis. And Bro. ) I said asking, not really caring
"Candace is at Shad's finishing up her science project and Chris went to the mall with Victoria" (his girl)
my mom said, then she noticed my eyes and my dead attitude, "are you aight?"
"Yea…no, I don't wanna talk about it, I'm turning in," I said, walking out of the kitchen and going up the
steps, "oh yea, don't forget you said the girls could spend the night next Friday so we could do girl's night
in before homecoming, remember?"
"Oh, yea that'll be fine, me and your mom have a dinner party to go to that night, Candace'll be on her
chorus trip and Chris will be…somewhere," my dad said clearing his plate
"Aight then, cool," I said walking up the steps
"Oh, Christen, Omari called," my mom yelled up to me
"YaY!" I said sarcastically as I went to my room and shut the door
"24 times!" she said over the intercom "You know his momma gon' beat him for running up the phone bill,
I know I would," my mom said
She was right, he was probably getting yelled at right now, my mom and his mom from what I've heard,
were so alike it was scary, but at least they would get along. Wait a minute, would have gotten along, I
don't wanna have anything to do with that nigga or his momma. I just sat in my bed looking at the ceiling
and walls I listened to music and turned over and looked at the picture of me and Omari. We had taken it at
the fair a couple months ago. We weren't even looking at the camera. Me and Omari were facing each
other in a kiss and there was a big red teddy bear that he won for me squeezed in between us. It was a cute
picture, but I refused to look at it anymore. I took the picture and chucked it at the wall, I just sat there as
the picture framed shattered into a million little pieces. I took the red teddy bear and stuffed it in the back
of my walk-in closet. I didn't want to have anything to do with Omari Ishmael Grandberry. We were
through. Me being the strong person that I am, however, I couldn't let my friends think anything was
wrong, so I conducted myself in a mature, adult manner, I was even willing to go to homecoming with him
still. But if he got anywhere near me, it would be a swift kick in the balls for Mr. Man. I am not gonna
take his bullsh!t anymore. I got up and decided to take a shower, and after picking out something to wear
to school tomorrow I went to sleep.
Omari's POV
I just got done playing ball with the fellas. I had to do something to release some tension. I had to get my
mind off Christen. But it wasn't working. I mean, the guys were going on and on about their dates and
how fun the dance was gonna be and the only thing I could think about was how I don't have a date, a girl,
nothing, and how I almost had sex with that nasty hoe. Even though nothing good came out of it, I'm glad
that Christen caught me and Danele, because we probably would've gone all the way, that girl is too fast.
Anyway, I'm in the car driving home and all I can think about is Christen, it's weird everything is starting
to revolve around her. Her favorite song, Nelly's Hot in Herre and M2K's Gots ta Be, seemed to be on
every radio station, I started to see her car everywhere, and I even started to see her sitting right next to me
in the car. It was scary. I got home and Lord knows I didn't wanna deal with my parents and my six
brothers and sisters so I got home and jetted straight for my room. My momma stopped me on the way up.
"Omari, I know you did not call Christen 24 times today!" My momma yelled pulling my ear
"Naw, moms, who told you that." I said lying and moaning in pain
"Brenda, (Christen's mom) told me that you called Christen 24 times, now I know you like her and she
likes you back, so either something went down or she has been pretty busy if you had to call her 24 times
just to get in touch with her." My mom said counseling me
"Why? Did she call ?" I said getting excited, maybe it wasn't over
"No, I just wanted to let you know that if you wanna call her that many times again be prepared to start
pitching in on this phone bill," she said getting loud
"Yes ma'am," I said looking at the ground sad
"Are you okay, O-moreo (a nickname I got because I love me some Oreo's)
"Yea, ma, I don't wanna talk about it, aight? Goodnite, ma," I said turning to go up the stairs
"It can't be that bad," she said to my back as I walked up the steps "Whatever you did can't be that bad,"
"You just don't know," I mumbled and went upstairs and closed the door to my room
I got in my room and plopped down on my bed I closed my eyes and turned on the radio as "They Don't
Know" by Jon B. came on, I could feel the little tears well up in my eyes, but I refused to shed tears over
Christen. I mean If she wants to come up in my house, in my room, and jump to conclusions then that's her
problem. I didn't do anything wrong. Who am I fooling? I couldn't have any more wrong at that moment.
I just can't believe that I allowed myself to go there with Danele. I mean, I was so close to doing it with
her. I hadn't even gotten that close with my own girl. My ex-girl. I looked over at the picture of me and
Christen we had took it at Rell's house a couple month's ago. It looked kinda silly, we weren't even
looking at the camera we were just sitting in Rell's backyard staring into each other's eyes, smiling and
holding hands. It was a nice picture though, but no more. I took the picture, opened the nightstand drawer
and shoved it in there. You know what, I need to get my self together. I mean I can't let my boys know
that I'm hurting. I'm just gonna continue like this incident never happened. I mean I might even give
Christen the pleasure of being my date to homecoming. That is, if she wants a taste of what she's been
missing. And after that lil pep talk, I took a nice long shower, set my alarm clock and went to sleep.
