Chapter Five
Indigo Nicole Jones
I put my hair into a ponytail and put a little lip gloss on. I looked at myself in the mirror again to look over my out fit. I was wearing a gray shirt with mostly black lettering that said "I’d rather be texting." With the ‘rather’ and the ‘texting’ in pink. There was also a picture of a phone. I paired it with some dark jeans, grabbed the Coach purse daddy had given me and was on my way out the door. I said goodbye to my mother and stopped at Hardees to get a sausage biscuit and a sprite. All the while I was dreading going to school. Marcus said he was going to do better but who knows? He had called me last night and told me that it was going to be better at school . That he was changing and he was gone do whatever he had to do prove to me that he was serious when he said he wanted me. I brushed him off on the phone but on the inside....I was so happy I had heard those words.
I found Mariah and we sat on the steps and talked for a minute. Nique was going to the doctor today and she would fill me in with the details. I nodded as the bell rung. I said goodbye to her and headed to my first period. That class was always okay because no one really noticed me.
Second period was another story. I had it with Marcus’ best friend and he never made it easy for me. I sat down at my desk, did the bell ringer and was determined not to say anything. "Hey, you." I heard his voice say in a harsh whisper. The teacher dimmed the lights and got out her overhead projector. I felt paper hitting my back and I still ignored it. He sat behind me and I braced myself knowing it would get worse if I kept ignoring him.
The teacher stepped out the room and he yanked me back by my hair, "Bitch, when I’m talking to you, don’t ignore me." I winced in pain.
"What do you want?" I forced out.
He let go of my hair and mugged my head forward, "Nothing today. One of my boys gone get you."
I took a deep breath and smoothed out my ponytail. Why were they so fascinated about seeing me cry? Cause that’s what it all boiled down to, seeing me cry.
~~~~~
And he called himself changing? This is changing? Letting your boys talk about me while your standing right there. The pain didn’t even connect from the jokes. I was just angry. I stopped myself from punching him in the jaw and attempted to walk away. One of the boys, Waylon stopped me. "Just let me go," I growled.
"Oh she wants to get mad now?"
"Looks like we gotta put in some overtime to make her upset today."
"Man…Just let her go." I heard Marcus’ voice. They obeyed and asked him what was up. I looked back at
him and gave him the angriest look I could muster and then marched away.
"Indigo! Indigo! Indigo!" I heard him shout my name so I pushed the doors to the stair well open and sat down. I didn’t care if he caught up with me, cause he would be the perfect person to take my anger out on.
"Indigo I’m sorry!" When I saw him I got up and shook my head. He had climbed up the stairs and had me by waist.
I looked down at his hands, "Let me go, Marcus!"
"No! Not until you accept my apology!"
"Hell will freeze over before that happens. So this is changing Marcus, huh?" I questioned him. He didn’t reply.
"Just let me go." I said softly.
"Indigo, mama, I’m sorry. I mean it." And with those words he had me heated again.
"No, your not! Sorry means not doing the same shit again and again!" I yelled at him. "I see why you can never keep a girl! You do the same shit repeatedly! You’re a liar!"
He looked angry but I kept going.
"That’s all you are, a liar! And I know not to believe any of your bullshit anymore!"
"I’m not a l-" He tried arguing his case but I wasn’t having it.
"Don’t be mad cause I called you out and it’s the truth! You’re a fu-"
Marcus pushed me against the wall, with a little force but it didn’t really hurt because I was close to it any way. I was about to say something but he silenced me by kissing me. I was trying to resist really hard but those lips were so soft. Okay I won't lie, I fought the kiss for like two seconds before getting into the kiss and wrapping my arms around his neck. His hands had ventured down to my hips. His tongue entered my mouth and I surely thought I was in heaven.
Marcus Ramone Cooper
We kissed for a little longer before the door opened. I could tell Indigo was expected me to back away from her because she let me go and her eyes told me it was okay. I glanced, but didn't pay attention who it was and went back to my kiss.She started to try to push me away but I grabbed her hands and pent them up, pressing my body against her. There was no way that I was giving this moment up anytime soon. I could tell she was shocked but she went with it.
I pulled away from her before I got us both heated too much. She looked at me and licked her lips. "You taste good, ma." I smiled at her and she smiled a little before frowning.
She started walk away, "Your still a liar."
I laughed and shouted after her, "You like this liar though." She poked her head in the door.
"There you go lying again." She told me and I laughed.
"Naw, you don’t kiss a person you don’t like."
She took a minute, "It was the heat-" I started to go down the steps.
"It’s cool, Indigo, I like you too."
She rolled her eyes and walked in the other direction. I took a deep breath and continued on with my day.
~~~~~
"Hello?" I picked up my phone when I saw Indigo's number flash. I was laying down in my bed, home alone. Mama had went to the store, Nique to the doctor, and Mariah on a date. I leaned over and cut my Drake CD off.
"Hey, Marcus," She was calling me. I was the man.
"What’s up, Indigo?"
" Let's not get into all that small talk, I called for a reason," My phone beeped and I saw it was my girl.
"The reason was?" I ignored the call and waited for Indigo to tell me the reason.
"Don’t ever pull anything like that again." Her voice turned from sweet to fiery. I was shocked.
"What?" I asked her.
"Kiss me.When you have a girl. China saw us! And that crazy bitch hit me!" I knew I had made a major mistake.
"Indi-"
"No, see I’m not gone curse you out because I fought her…and won," I was shocked by that too. China was undefeated, "But I will say this. Never put me in that position again. As far as I’m concerned we don’t have to speak again. Bye Marcus." I got her to hold on before hanging up.
"Indigo, I don’t know what came over me. It’s like when I’m near you I forget about China," I really wasn’t lying to her. But Indigo wasn’t having it. She was upset.
"STOP LYING TO ME, MARCUS! I might not be the prettiest girl in school but I am not desperate enough to be chick number four hundred on your list of girls!"
"Stop trying make me look like a hoe, Indigo!" I shouted back at her.
"Don’t yell at me."
"Don’t yell at me first then. I ain’t lying to you. I’m being 100 with you."
She sighed and then quietly said, "Whatever, Marcus. Your not my man, not my concern, and if anything, China should be the one upset with your lying ass." She hung up and I stared at the phone. My phone rang again. It was China so decided to face the music.
As soon as I pressed talk she was on fire, "Why that b-"
"Don’t call her that."
"Now, your taking up for the fat-"
"Don’t call her out of her name China. She ain’t disrespecting you like that."
"Oh yeah she is! Kissing my man! Which brings me to the point of this phone call, Ramone. Why the hell were you kissing her. Cause you saw it was me and dove right back in it. You into thick chicks now? This ain’t what you want no more?"
"China-"
"Let me talk Marcus! I’ve been faithful to you! Ain’t did no wrong to you! But you cheating on me with someone who looks like that!"
"I didn’t cheat. It was a kiss. One kiss."
"What the hell, Marcus? We had ‘one kiss’ like that. The next month we were in bed together!" China shouted. "You quiet now, huh? You know what, Marcus? I’ve put too much into this relationship to let that fat bitch take it away from me. You end it. And now. Right now."
"China…I want to end it with you." I said those words and hung up the phone.
I cant help it
