"Did you wash it?" I asked, my hands were going towards her head but they halted waiting for an answer.

She laughed "yes miss cosmetologist. You do know just cause I have dreads doesn't mean they're dirty right? I'm sure your school is white wash as fuck"

I chuckled a little embarrassed. "Of course I know you wash your hair... I just wanted to know if you did it today" she was right my school is white wash. I always thought dreads looked cool but I know absolutely nothing about them.

She laughed a little taking her dreads down. They were so long and beautiful, her loose curls spiraled wildy and randomly throughout the dreads and at the roots.

She looked over at me and slowly smiled. I looked away quickly.

"You liking what you see?" She said smoothly.

I felt my face burn. "Sit down" I said sitting in the couch.

She laughed and grabbed a cushion off the couch plopping it in between my legs. Then sat there. When I ran my fingers over her scalp she moaned a little.

I bit my lip. Is that how she moans when... what the fuck Kya stop being weird.

"Why'd you stop?" She chuckled looking up at me.

"Are you going to show me what to do?"

"Oh yea" she grabbed a dread from the back and flipped the rest to the side honestly I never seen them so big and chunky but they were beautiful. I watched her fingers dip into a clear waxy jar.

"You take this, and you put it all on the roots where it's fucked up. Then you twist it with your fingers. Get it kinda tight so it'll last long and clip it." She grabbed a metal clip and clamped it onto the dread she was working on.

"See, it's not hard at all"

"No, it doesn't look hard.. let me try."

"Aight cool, I'm about to roll."

She went into Jay's secret compartment and took out 2 nuggets of weed.

"I thought she told you not to do that when she's not here anymore" I said putting the wax on a dread I chose.

"It don't even matter. When she get here she gonna me too busy tryna wife you and be all up on you"

I laughed pushing her shoulder. "Shut up!"

"It's the truth. I be like damn bruh, chill. I feel like I'm watching the animal planet during mating season or something"

I giggled "no..."

She stopped and whipped her head around facing me.

"You cappin like hell. She flirt with you harder then I do.... matter of fact."

She got on her knees facing me. "Wassup? Since she wanna be so direct... I'm right here, right now. Wassup?"

She started leaning in and I giggled mushing her face away with my clean hand. "Mean stop!"

She laughed "you say that now" she turned back around and started rolling up. Thank god the show she had playing on the tv was distracting her, last thing I needed was to kiss both sisters.

"Speaking of Jaylen, where is she?"

"Work. She should be getting off soon though, let's Smoke this before her ass come home being a buzzkill." Mean said lighting the blunt.

"She's really not that bad"

"Yea, that cause she ain't always on your ass... well"

I glared at her.

"Okay, she just always all in my business and telling me what I could be doing and shit.. the shit annoying. Like okay, I get it. You old as fuck. Well let me be young and turn up while I can. I can do old shit when I'm old like you." She finally let out her smoke after saying all of that.

"Well... you know she just wants you to do your best at life... hey! Are you gonna smoke without me? How am I suppose to smoke with this hair stuff all over my hands."

"I got you Ma" she said getting up and sitting beside me. She flipped her hair to the other side of her face. Ughhh that jawline, those cheekbones..

She saw me looking and smirked. "Just do this side right now and I'll pass you the smoke"

"Pass me the smoke? How do you-"

She hit the blunt and her face came close to mine. I'm sure I looked like a deer in headlights. My palms started sweating my heart was racing.

"Open your mouth" she said still holding the smoke. I was scared honestly. The way she had me feeling just from being close to me was embarrassing. I opened my mouth and she blew the smoke in with our lips inches apart.

She moved back and coughed a little "see, I told you I got you"

I slowly blew it out and smiled. I started putting the wax cream on a new dread and she hit it again.

"You want this?" She asked holding the smoke in, pointing at her mouth.

I bit my lip and nodded then quickly clamped the dread I was working on.

She watched my facial expression with a sexy poker face as she came in closer, a lot closer then last time. She blew the smoke into my mouth and pulled away cheesing.

"Why you looking scared?" She asked shifting her attention from me to the blunt. She looked like she was examining it.

"I- I'm not!" I choked on my smoke a little. I went to start on another dread but she moved my hand and hit the blunt again. This time she scooted over closing some space between us.

Her warm arm slid behind my back and her face inched in closer. I didn't know what to do. I held my breath. She put her lips on mine and blew the smoke in. All I could think about was how soft and plump they were. She pressed her lips on mine and my eyes got big. Oh my fucking god Mean is kissing me. I sat there like a statue puckering my lips back. She gripped my waist with her hand before pulling away.

I know I was blushing hard as hell.

It wasn't a long drawn out kiss or anything but I damn sure wasn't expecting it. She chuckled with her arm still around me.

"What? Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Well, you did just kiss me with no type of warning."

She laughed "my bad. I guess I'll give you a heads up from now on... heads up."

She went in for a kiss but the front door flung open.

Jaylen came in with her work clothes on looking like she can handle business.

She looked surprised then annoyed. I don't think Mean told her I was coming over.

She saw Mean's arm around on my waist and glared at her.

"Wassup Kya.... Amina, hows the job search going? Clearly you need something hands on." She said keeping her glare.

Mean looked at her and laughed "nigga you corny" She said with her arm still around me.

"Yo, leave my friend alone."

Mean chucked "nigga she my friend too. She's doing my hair."

"That shit don't look like doing your hair."

"Mind your business and you wouldn't know"

"This is my house. It is my business. Kya why didn't you tell me you were coming over? And why'd you ignore all my messages?"

I bit my lip. I wanted to say she was lying but I know I was avoiding her on purpose.

"I'm sorry, I was just so anxious about my exam.. I needed to focus."

Her face softened up when Mean took her arm from around me.

"Can we talk for a second?"

"Yea.. wassup?" I asked acting clueless. I didn't have time to think about the kiss I wasn't ready to talk about it.

"In private" she said looking at Mean.

I bit my lip. "Yea okay." I said getting up.

We went into her room.

"I didn't freak you out did I?" She asked with a sigh.

"N-no, how could you freak me out? I kissed you." It was so weird to hear those words leave my lips.

"Yea but... I know how you feel about me.. I know you been trying to keep me friendzone"

I groaned. "Why is that damn term so popular?! I'm not trying to 'friendzone' you or whatever. I just have a lot going on right now, not to mention that I'm straight and I've told you this a million times."

"But you kissed me. That's not what straight girls do. Or at least it's not what a straight girl should do."

"I know... I'm sorry I think it's just all the stress-"

"Or you could be gay... or bi. Ion know, but listen.. I'm grown. I know for a fact I like women, I like pussy. I like you.. but what I don't like is you letting my sister touch on you and shit. I feel like I've been very patient and open but you can't be fucking around with Amina and me. That shit not gonna work."

"I'm not fucking around with anybody. I told you both we are friends and that's what we are."

"Then why was her hands on you like that."

"Oh my god, Jaylen. She just had her arm behind me. I forgot it was even there. Like I said. You are both my FRIENDS nothing more."

"Yea you say that now. Since we just 'friends' you won't mind if a hit up some of my hoes? A friend wouldn't care."

"Do whatever you want Jaylen, I'm sorry I led you on."

"You ain't lead shit on buddy but it's cool" she chuckled. "I mean, you already know I like what I see.. so if something changes just let me know I guess. Stay away from Amina tho... for real, she not right... she know you straight right?"

"Yea.." I lied

"Well she's reckless. She ain't gonna give a damn about that. I know me and you had our little moments but we friends.. and as a friend I'm telling you it's not a good idea. I mean I know you gonna do whatever you want but just remember I warned you.."

"Okay." I said, I had nothing else to say.

She moved to the side to let me leave but as I walked passed her she grabbed my arm.

"If you do end up feeling any type of way, just let me know. I'm definitely feeling it back"

I bit my lip. "Jaylen."

"Okay, okay. I know. Just friends. I just wanted to remind you. You know... just in case anything changes. I'm gonna go shower."

My brain immediately went to thinking of Jaylen naked in the shower. I've never seen a stud naked. I mean sure she's just another girl but... what the fuck Kya... you seriously need to stop. This shit is weird.

I left the room and found Mean sitting on the couch finishing the blunt.

"What?" She said smirking as I sat beside her. "She told you to stop talking to me cause I'm reckless? She swear I'm such a juvenile but ion do shit to nobody. I just smoke my weed and mind my business. You a grown ass woman anyway, if you down you down."

"I'm going to tell you, like I told her. You both are my friends. Nothing more"

"But that kiss tho." She smirked

I cut my eyes at her.

"Let me start on your hair" I said patting the cushion on the floor.

She just shook her head and sat down.

The rest of the night was kinda of quiet. Jaylen came out to smoke with us but she was mostly held up in her room.

I asked her if I could stay the night and she said 'that's cool with me, whatever you want buddy"

I'm not gonna lie that rubbed me the wrong way a little. She's never just acted like she doesn't care.

Mean was happy to know I was sleeping over. She offered me to come lay with her so many times but honestly, I was a little shaken up after our kiss.

What am I suppose to do? I kissed Jaylen, Mean kissed me? This has to be the worst love triangle in history. I don't even know how I feel about The whole situation, this isn't me. Kissing girls?

I started feeling a little lonely on the couch. I was scrolling on Facebook but I kept getting distracted by Jaylen's muffled laughter in her room. I got up to investigate.

I stood outside with my ear to her door.

"Nah, I mean... I could always show you" I heard Jaylen say smoothly.

"Oh you can show me?" I heard a girls voice giggle.

I rolled my eyes and opened her room door letting myself in.

"Woah," Jaylen said looking up from her phone.

"What?" Jaylen tried to muffle her phone on her stomach but I could here the girl ask on the other end.

I don't know why she was tryna hide the fact that she was on the phone.

"Watcha doooinnngg?" I smiled sweetly.

"Wassup? I thought you was out there asleep or in Mina's bed or something."

"Once again, we're just friends."

"Who's that?" I heard the girl ask on the other end.

"Oh that's my homie Kya, hold on"

She put the girl on mute.

"How you just gonna barge into my room like that?"

I played with my fingers and looked up at her. Of course she was eating that shit up.

"I thought you might wanna smoke and chill."

"Shit, we can do more then that... I'm off tomorrow. Let's get lit tonight."

I bit my lip and before I could say anything else Jaylen was letting her hoe know she had to go.

I'm not gonna lie. I got a satisfied smile on my face when I heard the girl get salty.
