Chapter 16 Chapter Sixteen
Alex’s Point Of View
I got into the drivers seat, while Demi got into the passenger seat.
I watched as he sat down and buckled his seatbelt. He looked so cute sitting in my passengers seat.
I’m still irritated at the thought of he and Chris being ‘close’. I still don’t believe his whole ‘spending time with Chris’ nonsense.
Something tells me there’s more to what my best friend is letting on and that pisses me off.
I get that Demi and I haven’t been as close as we used to be before that incident. But it didn’t mean I wanted him going out looking for new friends.
New people to replace me.
My chest stung at the thought of Demi replacing me with someone.
“-Lex” I was snapped out of my thought.
I watched as his face morphed into one of confusion
“Yeah?” I cleared my throat as I started the car.
“You good man? You seem a little lost” he asked concerned.
“Yeah, I’m sorry, I was just thinking about something” I told him as I began driving to his house.
I liked being around Demi, I wanted to be with Demi all the time.
I wish he came to me last night instead of Chris.
I don’t like Chris.
Well that’s a bit much, I do like Chris, I just don’t like Chris hanging out with Demi alone.
I wanted Demi all to myself.
As my best friend of course.
Not like there’s any other reason why I need him.
We drove to his house in silence, well, except for my playlist noising up the whole car.

“Good afternoon Mrs Carter” I sang as I rushed up to go hug Demi’s mother, Pricilla.
She had a large smile on her face as she opened her arms to welcome my hug.
“My little white baby” she said hugging me back, I laughed at her nickname for me.
She started calling me that when I had showed up to their house for Nigerian’s Independence Day celebration at their house and I introduced myself as their white baby.
“I missed you so much” I sighed as I hugged her tighter. I had to bend a bit to rest my head on her shoulder. She was like 5’6 tall.
“You literally saw her a few days ago” her nonchalant son spoke as he walked past both of us.
“Good afternoon mummy” he greeted his mother before going upstairs.
“And I don’t care” Pricilla said squeezing the life out of me, a loud laugh left my mouth as I squeezed her back.
“Please unhand my wife” I heard a deep voice say from the stairwell making my grin go wider.
“No” I stubbornly said as I looked at the large brown skin man standing at the last staircase. His buffed out chest was showing through the skin tight shirt he was wearing. Meaning he was on his way to the gym.
I heard him sigh before he walked over to us and pulled at my ear.
“Stop trying to steal my wife, I got her hair and square” the large man said twisting my ear making me cry out in pain.
“Ow ow ow” I cried out as I tried to get out of his hold.
“Alright alright” I whined till he release me, my hand immediately went to my ear to soothe the pain
Pricilla stood there laughing at her husband and I.
One thing I can say is that she was indeed a beautiful woman.
She’s dark skin and she has a slim face with chubby cheeks. She wasn’t fat but she wasn’t skinny, she was just a curvy woman.
You could look at her and think she was still in her twenties, you won’t believe she was forty six years old and had six kids. Demi being her last.
“Its not my fault your wife’s hot” I muttered and got a smack on the head
“Watch your mouth white boy” Damson-Demi’s father- said glaring at me.
Pricilla walked over to her husband and got into his arm with no problem. The large man immediately got a smile on his face as he stared at his wife.
I loved their relationship. Just like my parents it’s was obvious these two loved each other.
This is what I want in the future. To be with someone I love and to have the love keep growing as we both grow old.
I mean look at them, they looked like teenagers in love.
“Alex!!” I heard my name come from upstairs.
“What?” I yelled back
“Get your ass upstairs” Demi said making his father immediately cut his tone and language.
“Demilade!” He father yelled his name
“Sorry” Demi yelled back, and I know my best friend is rolling his eyes.
“I guess my best friend needs me” I faked a tired sigh making his parents laugh
“Go, I’ll start with dinner” Pricilla said snuggling up with her husband, who had his hand on her waist, pulling her closer.
“I’m going to the gym” he told her before giving her a kiss on the cheek and started leaving.
I went upstairs, turned to my right and walked into Demi’s room
“What took you so long” Demi groaned as he pulled up his pajamas pants.
He was naked at the top and God did he look good.
“I was trying to get your mom to leave your dad so I become your new daddy” I winked at him, causing him to roll his eyes and kiss his teeth irritated.
“You’re gross” he told me as he threw a pair of pants my way.
I laughed at his action, I bent down and took the pants from the floor and went to the bathroom to shower and change.

It was now 9 something pm, Demi and I were in our pajamas, we had dinner an hour ago and now we’re in living room playing mortal combat.
His parents are in their room so we had to be quiet.
I was beating Demi with ease since he sucked at it.
“You’re so bad at this Demi, it’s been years and you’ve still not gotten good at it” I laughed at his sour mood.
“Man fuck you” he said giving me the finger.
“Already done that” I said before realization kicked in.
‘Shit’ I mentally thought.
I looked at Demi’s widened eyes and opened mouth
“I’m so-I’m sorry” I apologized immediately. I really didn’t mean to say that. It just came out.
“Dude” was all Demi said.
“I’m sorry” I facepalmed myself.
“Uh let’s just- let’s just continue with the game” Demi said embarrassed.
“I’m sorry” I said again
I was mentally cursing myself out because I literally just made things awkward for no reason.
“It’s cool man. Don’t stress about it” Demi assured. That fake smile on his face.
God I hated that smile so much
“Let’s just go to sleep, I made this awkward and I’m not in the mood to play anymore” I said after seeing how tense my best friend was.
“That’s a good idea, I don’t want to play anymore” he stood up and went to turn off the tv.
We both made our way to his room and started getting ready to sleep.
“I really didn’t mea-“ I started off but was cut off.
“Alex, it’s fine, just dead it” Demi said in a serious tone making me shut my mouth.
“Okay” I whispered.
“Good night” I said as I laid on my side.
“Good night” Demi said before turning off the lights.
‘I’m such an idiot’
