Makayla

Kannon didn’t answer right away, but she felt when his heart skipped a beat to the sound of her question. Looking up at him, she smiled as he nodded rapidly.

“Yeah. I can,” he agreed.

Makayla’s hand slid down his frame. He took it into his. Resting her chin on his chest, Makayla looked at him and asked, “Did you tell Jason about us?”

His head shook. “What is there to tell?”

“You don’t think what we have has gone beyond friendship?”

“Do you?”

She shrugged. “I think it has, but I also don’t know where it’s going.”

“Where do you want it to go?”

“It doesn’t matter. What matters is where it can go, and it can’t go very far. Not on your end at least.”

Kannon sat up and rested against the headboard, forcing her to do the same. “What you mean not on my end?”

Makayla’s eyes rolled and she sighed.

“It doesn’t matter how we try to explain what happened between us… that you caught feelings because you’ve taken care of me and Austin for so long and I’ve caught feelings because you’ve taken care of us for so long… people are going to look at us as trifling traitors. Me even more. A nigga can do no wrong these days, but a bitch is always on the chopping block with the quickness.

No one will understand the bond we created and how long we’ve tried to fight it over the years. They will swear we plotted on this moment instead of finally acting on how we feel after five years.

No excuse or reasoning would be justifiable for them. They will swear there are millions of people we could see and that we should have ignored our connection, no matter how hard we were pulled to one another.

And you won’t be able to handle that because you’re too solid. You’re too loyal. You’re too trill. And it will eat you up inside for anyone to question your character and see you as flawed. I won’t give a fuck, but I love you too much to do that to you… especially knowing there’s a chance Jason will no longer want to fuck with you. I mean, it can go either way. He can accept it or reject it, but I don’t want to take that chance. Not for you.”

Kannon remained silent after her spiel.

“You’re right. A lot of mothafuckas won’t understand, but it ain’t for them to comprehend.” Her head lowered, but he lifted it by her chin. “As long as we do and what we got going is genuine and authentic, that’s all that matters to me.”

“And Jason?”

His head tilted before he looked away altogether. “I don’t want to lose my brotha, and if he was out, I wouldn’t even be here.”

“But…”

“He’s gone. And I…” His head shook again, and Makayla hated how at war he was within himself. “I didn’t want to feel this way for you, Makayla.”

“I know,” she agreed, taking his hand into hers.

“But I can’t help it. And a part of me hates him for making me promise to look after you.
