Dear Diary,
It has been two weeks since Ahmir and I became a couple and things have been going pretty good between us. I still haven’t had the chance to tell DJ Spin about my relationship with Ahmir but he sent me a message saying he wanted to hang out with me Friday. He said he had a surprise for me and even though I shouldn’t be going, it would be a better time than any to talk to him. Zaria has been coming around me even more like she’s trying to be my best friend or something. I have to continue to keep my eyes open for her. In the midst of dealing with my own problems, I try to be there for Chanel while she’s going through a rough patch with Jeremiah. I truly believe Jeremiah really has feelings for Chanel but he has been dealt a bad hand. Anyway, et me get ready for my last class. Ughhhh I hate biology but I have to take it so I might as well get it over with. Talk to you later!!!
I left out of my last class for the day. I was so ready to get back to my room so I can relax before starting on some of my homework. Homecoming week starts next week and I have two papers due but I’m trying to attend all the events that are going to be happening. I pulled out my phone and called Ahmir to see if he wanted to order pizza later on after he got out of football practice. Since homecoming was next week, it seemed like the football team had practice day and night so we were not spending as much time together as before.
“Hey baby, what’s up?” he answered on the first ring.
“Hey, I wanted to see if you wanted to order pizza later on after you get out of practice. We can watch movies and spend some time together,” I said.
“I’m cool with it. I’ll hit you up as soon as I get out of practice. I’m about to get a quick nap in boo so I’ll talk to you later.”
“Okay bye,” I said.
“Bye.”
When I got to my room, I started thinking about Chanel and her situation. She has been telling me that Jeremiah has not been acting like himself since the day she got the phone call from that girl Erika. She told me that he has been getting frustrated very easily and his temper is at an all-time high. Everything seemed to set him off. I could not believe this was the same Jeremiah that we met our first week here. I guess he has a lot of stress and pressure on him right now.
I worked on one of my papers for my English Literature class for about an hour. When I got to a stopping point, I put my pen down and closed my notebook and decided to hit Malorie up to see what she was up to. With everything going on with me, I hadn’t had time to catch up with my girl. We definitely have to talk about the current events that are taking place in my life. I dialed her number and waited for her to pick up. While the phone was ringing my phone began to vibrate letting me know that I had just received a text message.
The person you are trying to reach is unavailable at this time please leave a message at the sound of the beep. *BEEP*
“Hey Malorie this is Ki, I was calling to see what you were up to. I haven’t talked to you in a minute and we gotta catch up ASAP. Give me a call back when you get a chance.”
After I left the voicemail, I opened the message that was sent to me, it was DJ Spin letting me know that he couldn’t wait for me to see my surprise Friday and he hoped that I liked it. To be honest, I was a little excited myself but I just hope we could remain friends after I tell him about Ahmir. I kind of distanced myself from him because I thought it would be the best thing to do.
Me: Lol so you’re not going to give me just a little hint on what the surprise is?
Spin: Nope, you will see Friday.
Me: Ughhh, I really want to know but I guess I will have to wait then (sad face)
Spin: Don’t be like that ma it will be worth the wait I promise!! (smiley face)
Me: Okay..... can’t wait!!
I really didn’t have anything else to do for the day so I turned the television on and decided to watch one of my favorite shows, “Martin.” I grabbed a Gatorade out of our mini refrigerator and a bag of chips to snack on. My phone started ringing and it was Malorie returning my call.
“Hey girl what’s going on?” I answered.
“Girl just getting out of class, I had a late class today. I got your voicemail, what’s going on?” she asked.
“Stop by here before you go to your room.”
“Okay.” She said.
I hung the phone up and about ten minutes later there was a knock on my door. I told her to come on in and she came and sat down on my bed. I gave her the run down on everything from Ahmir and I becoming a couple to DJ Spin and then finally Zaria.
“I don’t know Ki, you might have to watch out for that girl because something is not right with her,” she said.
“I know, that’s the same thing I said. If she knows like I know, she better act right because I will give her the business if need be,” I told her.
“I know your crazy ass will,” she said laughing, “But now I have something to tell you. I have a new friend that I’ve been hanging out with. That is another reason why I have been missing in action.”
“Whattttt! Go head girl, so what’s his name and when am I going to meet him?” I pried.
“Well his name is Justin and he is very sweet, not to mention fine as hell. Girl, he got muscles for days! We are just friends, nothing serious but I will let you meet him some time soon.”
“Awww shoot now, I can’t wait to meet him. I’m so happy for you. Let me find out we all got boos now. Hot damn, come to college for an education and get a man in the process,” I said while laughing.
“He’s not my man yet!”
“He will be soon though,” I told her.
We chatted for a little while longer then Malorie said she had to go so I got ready to take a nap until Ahmir got out of football practice.
CHANEL
The day I found out about this Erika girl, I had to clear my head so Malorie and I went to her homeboy Malcolm’s house. I was ready to get there so that I could smoke a blunt and ease my mind. One thing I liked about going over there is the fact that they were so cool and laidback, they made sure that we always had some food to eat and weed to smoke. They never asked for anything in return, they were good friends. When we got there, everyone was there as usual playing the game and smoking. Malcolm went to the back and got two baggies along with the cigars. After two blunts, we grabbed a plate of Chinese food. I had some honey chicken, beef and broccoli, and a little bit of General Tso’s chicken. While we were eating, I got into my feelings a little bit, “You know I really appreciate y’all for real. From day one when Mal introduced us to y’all, all of y’all have been nothing but nice to us and that means a lot to me.”
“Girl, if you don’t sitcho ass down somewhere hahaha. Naw, for real though, y’all girls cool as hell, and I like to entertain my guests. Anytime y’all need something, don’t hesitate to ask, a nigga got a good heart,” Malcolm said.
“Chanel, you must be high as hell, you getting all sensitive and stuff,” Malorie said.
“A little but I’ve been going through a lot today and it’s just nice to be able to get away from the college drama for a little while and just relax and chill,” I told them.
“I feel ya,” Malcolm said.
After we finished our food and took a few shots of Ciroc, we were ready to go back to campus. When I got to my room, I passed straight out.

Ever since I found out about Erika and the baby that is on the way, Jeremiah has not been acting like himself at all. It’s like I don’t know who he is anymore .One minute he is cool and the next minute he is spazzing out. I asked his ass was he bipolar one day and he laughed thinking I was joking but I was very serious. Between my relationship problems and my classes, I have not really been talking to Ki as much but because next week was homecoming week, I knew the turn up was going to be real. I’m so glad my professors didn’t assign us any homework to do for the next couple of weeks because I was not in the mood for that. Jeremiah had football practice almost every day this week so I missed spending
time with him. I also saw that he had been hitting the weights pretty heavy lately because his arms and chest look like they have gotten bigger.
When Jeremiah got out of practice, he called and asked if I wanted to catch a movie. I was so happy because this was the first time in a while that we actually went somewhere. I love a good thriller movie so since he let me pick the movie for us to watch I decided on the movie SAW that just came out. I didn’t want to get too dressed up so I decided on a gray long sleeve off the shoulder Chanel shirt with a pair of blue jeans and instead of my normal heels, I put on a pair of gray and black Jordan retros. I put on light makeup with clear lip-gloss and I was ready to go. When I got inside of Jeremiah’s car, he was going simple like me with a plain white tee, blue jeans, and a pair of all white Jordan’s. Even though he was dressed simple, he was still sexy as ever and smelled even better. I’m not sure what he had on but whatever it was turned me all the way on.
“You’re looking good as always,” he said as I got in the car.
“Thank you baby, you do too. I’m glad we are going out for a couple of hours. This means a lot to me because I’ve been missing you,” I told him.
“I know and I’m going to make it up to you. I also want to apologize for how I have been acting towards you lately. I’ve just had a lot on my mind and I’ve been really stressed out,” he said.
“I know baby and I am here for you. I got your back always remember that,” I kissed him on the cheek.
We didn’t say too much for the rest of the ride. I guess we were both absorbed in our own thoughts. When we got inside, I went to find a seat while he got us some popcorn and drinks. I always like to sit close to the exit so that when the movie was over, we could easily get out of there. He came back just as the movie was beginning. He wrapped his arms round me and kissed me on the cheek just as I went to grab for some popcorn. The movie was good and the suspense was high. Jeremiah laughed at me when I cringed on the gory parts. When the movie was over, we headed back on campus and he parked in front of my dorm.
“I wanted to talk to you before you head back to your room,” he said. “I want to apologize again for how I have been behaving lately. I know it’s not me and I’m going to try to do better but to be honest sometimes I do not have control over it. I just have been under a lot of stress lately but I want to thank you for not running out on me when things began to get crazy and having my back no matter what.”
“Well, I appreciate that and I will always have your back as long as you have mine,” I told him.
“There’s no question about that. To tell you the truth though bae, I care about you a lot and I love you real talk,” he said.
I was shocked that he used the “L” word with me. Nobody had ever told me that they loved me before besides family so I was not expecting it at all.
Blushing I said, “I love you too, babe.”
I really did love him and I didn’t realize it until that moment. Even though we are in a bad situation in our relationship right now, I’m going to be right by his side. I gave my baby a kiss and I headed up to my room. I couldn’t wait to tell my girl Ki what Jeremiah just told me.
AHMIR
I know I’m wrong for sleeping with Zaria but it’s something about her that I cannot leave alone. It’s not like I have feelings for her because I don’t. I guess it’s her body that keeps calling me back. I’ve tried leaving her alone but the night she called to ask could she sit in my room
until her roommate came back, gave her a chance to give it another shot. Ever since that night, we have not stopped even though I told her that we have to stop soon. I know y’all are wondering why I just won’t leave Kior alone since it’s early in the relationship and I’m already cheating on her. Well, I know Ki is a good girl and I’m not about to let another nigga come in and snatch her up. I know it might sound crazy but I don’t give a damn how nobody feels!! It really does bother me that I’m cheating on Kior and we haven’t been together long, but damn temptation is a bitch. There are times when she calls me and I don’t pick up because Zaria is somewhere around. Since homecoming week is only a few days away, the coach gave us the day off and I’m happy as hell because he had us practicing our asses off these last few days. I decided to see if my baby wanted to spend some time with me so I gave her a call.
“Hello,” she answered.
“What’s up baby girl, what are you up to?” I asked.
She sighed, “Nothing much at the moment. I’m in the room waiting on Chanel, Malorie, and Taja.”
“What’s wrong with you? Why you sound like that?”
“I just have a lot on my mind right now. Anyway what’s up with you?” she asked.
“I was wondering if you want to come to my room in a few since I’ve been so busy lately. Maybe we can order out again, Chinese or pizza.”
“Of course bae. I will hit you up as soon as I get done with the girls, it shouldn’t be long and I want to talk to you about something,” she said.
I wonder what it is that she wanted to talk to me about. I hope she hasn’t heard anything about Zaria. I told her that I will be waiting on her and to order whatever she wants before she comes so that it will arrive not long after she gets here.
*******
“Baby, tomorrow me and some of the girls are having a girls day so you may not hear from me,” she said.
We had just finished eating Chinese food and we were so stuffed all we wanted to do was lay with each other and watch movies. See that’s what I liked about her, she was my girl but I could hang out with her like a friend also. She was the first girl that I have ever been with that I could do that with. My past girls always whined and complained but not Ki.
“That’s what you wanted to talk to me about?”
“Yep, because I didn’t want you to worry if you tried to get in touch with me and I didn’t pick up.”
“Oh okay, well that’s cool. I hope y’all have a good time, where are y’all going?” I asked.
“I’m not sure we all going with Malorie and she’s not telling us. She just said it’s a surprise.”
“Well, have fun baby girl. I’ll be here when you get back.”
She pulled me down and began kissing me. When she touched me, my soldier stood at attention. I stripped her clothes off her body and began kissing her. Zaria’s body was bad but Ki’s body will make any man’s knees turn week. I licked, and kissed every part of her body, making sure that I didn’t miss a spot. We were going at it for about thirty minutes before we both came. We waited for about an hour and then we went for a second round. Right before I laid down to go to sleep, I checked my phone and noticed I had six missed calls and three text messages and they all were from Zaria. I decided to open up one of the messages to see what she wanted.
Zaria: Hey Mir Mir are you still with your girl?
I hate that she started calling me Mir Mir. I know that the light don’t always come on upstairs but she know what I told her. I turned my phone off and laid back down with my girl and attempted to get some sleep. I will deal with Zaria tomorrow.

Dear Diary,
I wanted to stop by for a moment before I got ready for my day/night with DJ Spin. I am both nervous and excited about going with him. I’m nervous because I don’t know what the surprise is and I haven’t talked to him yet about me being in a relationship. I hope after I tell him that we can continue to be friends because I like hanging out with him but we will see. Ughhhh, I gotta find something cute to put on!!!
DJ Spin called to let me know that he would be on his way in about an hour, which was just enough time for me to get ready. I began looking through my closet trying to figure out what I wanted to put on. Since I had the slightest clue as to where we were going, I called him to see how I should dress for the occasion and he told me to dress very comfortable. Since it’s now fall, it is very cool so I decided to put on a white long sleeve crop top, a pair of high waist jeans, and a pair of white and gold wedge sneakers. I put my h
air in a high ponytail, put on a gold necklace, earrings, and bracelet, and sprayed my body with Country Chic by Bath and Body Works. I grabbed my jacket and went downstairs to wait on him. I waited for about ten minutes before I saw his car pull up. He got out just as I walked towards his car. He had on a black long sleeve tee, dark blue jeans, and a pair of wheat color timberlands. He walked over to me and put a blindfold over my eyes.
“What the hell?” I said.
“Just trust me, I’m not going to do anything to hurt you ma,” he said.
I didn’t say anything else. I just went with it as he held my arm and helped me in the car. When he got in, he reached over and put my seatbelt on for me. He drove what seemed like forever but actually was about an hour. I felt the car stop and he helped me out and walked me inside what I assumed was a building. I heard an elevator door open and he helped me on. When I felt the elevator stop, I reached up to take off my blindfold. “
Not yet, I will let you know when it is time to take it off. Stay right here don’t move, I’ll be right back,” he told me.
I stood in place trying to figure out exactly where we were. About a minute later, he came back and grabbed my arm as we started walking again.
“Now you can take the blindfold off,” he said.
When I removed the blindfold, my mouth dropped open as I took in the scenery before me. I was standing in a Presidential suite that looked more like an apartment and I was staring at the most beautiful scenery I’ve ever seen. It seemed like it came straight out of a magazine. There were dozens of roses everywhere and I saw a giant teddy bear sitting on the couch holding something in its hand.
“Oh my goodness, you did all this just for one day?” I asked.
“No, I didn’t do this for one day I did it for the whole weekend. This was my surprise; the whole weekend is all about you. Now do you see that box that the bear is holding? I want you to go over there and open the box.”
