I asked her what was wrong and she said she had been unfaithful to her boyfriend. He graduated this past May and got a job in Pittsburgh so they were ...in a long distance relationship. It had been bothering Nikki and she was having a difficult time with many boys trying to get her to go out with them especially a black guy at school.She told me that she had finally decided to go out with the black boy dancing. She said she had a great time and when he brought her back to her apartment one thing. I tell you things I wouldn’t tell anyone else. You’ve got a big piece of my heart and you’re taking it to Thailand with you. I’ll miss you more than I can say.”“Who knew?” she sighed. “Who knew I could ever find a boy who accepted me for what and who I am? I love you, Jacob. You’re my best friend, too.”She leaned toward me hesitantly and then touched my lips with her own. I didn’t push forward. I recognized it for what it was. A kiss between best friends who were both interested in the other. As I continued my work, I noticed a silver Accord pull into the automatic wash. As I was finishing up, I went to the vending machine to get a new air freshner, the driver of the Accord was having a difficult time lining up the vehicle. I was walking over to lend assistance, the driver, a very nice 35ish lady, let the window down and asked if I could please help. I asked if she wanted me to guide her into the lane, she asked if I could drive it for her as this is a new car for her and was afraid. He swung the door back open and sauntered out, then along the corridor, pausing only briefly outside Kiara’s room, wishing so much he could see what was going on behind the door. Even if he could, maybe that wouldn’t give him any insight into her decision. How could the tables have been turned so definitely in the space of one short day? He couldn’t abide feeling so powerless, especially against the teenage girl, but too many unfortunate things had gone wrong. Ever since he’d started enjoying.
