Tito's POV

So me and Marley are chilling in my room, listening to music. She laid on me and pressed skip on a song, smirking like she knew what the next song was. She sat on me, straddling me. Then grabbed the remote like a mic. The buffering was normal for when you skipped a song. I still don't know what the song is. She giggled and cleared her throat and then the song started playing.

I knew immediately what it was from the all to familiar ~I've been really trying baby~

This is my go to, I'm in the mood song. The amount of times we have.. y'know.. with this song playing is almost everytime we.. y'know-ed with music playing. She was singing along, giggling. I smirked and started singing with her. When I said let's make sweet harmony.. this ain't quite what I meant. But this is fun. We sung together, giggling together.

"c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon baby. Stop beating round' the bush, hey! Let's get it on- ooh ooh!" We sung together before my mom walked in. She just stared at us and Marley turned around.

She's in shorts and a sports bra. I'm shirtless and in jeans. As I mentioned earlier, she's straddling me and we're listening to Let's Get it On by Marvin Gaye. This could seem like something a lot less innocent is going on. My mom stared at us "There will be no "getting it on" in my house if I can help it." Oops. Sorry mom but uh, too late. Though, I'm not the only one..

Marley tried speaking but she cut her off "How about we don't have sex" I looked at her "you have 9 kids-" She glared "How about y'all don't have sex" Joseph walked in "Oh y'all don't know nothing bout Marvin Gaye. This is the song we made you too, Tito." He laughed. He was tough on us of course but he's still a human. My mom covered her face flustered "Joseph.." she sighed and chuckled, pulling him out of my room.

I stared at the door and started laughing "no wonder I like this song so much.." Marley looked at me "Joseph is chaotic" I looked at her "you haven't seen his bad side. He likes you. He just has a.. different way-? Of showing his love.. very very different" I shook out all the negative thoughts and paused the song. Marley kissed me quickly and got off, stretching. "Hey let's have a mini dance party with your siblings, yeah? And make sure to take this song off... actually, leave the playlist to me."

I rounded up my siblings and we were dancing to Marley's epic playlist. Well. Janet was watching us because she's mad a Jermaine for some reason. Then he hugged her and all was well. Marley even convinced Michael to do the robot shuffle which was cool. Marlon was busting moves too. We were all vibing! Laughing and hanging out.

I picked Marley up and kissed her gently. Marlon giggled "oo, somebody's got a girlfriend" Michael looked at him "they've been together for 2 years" Marlon looked at him "so that means someone has a girlfriend?' Michael thought about and nodded "oooo, somebody's got a girlfriendddd" they started chanting.

Marley laughed and looked at me"I mean, unless you wanna be more than that.." I giggled "Like lovers?" She shook her head "like fia-" Rebbie interrupted "My little brother is not getting engaged. How about we don't" she kissed my forehead. Marley pouted "but he's my boyfriend." And Rebbie rebutted with "He was my brother first."

I laughed and Good Kisser by Usher came on. This is my shit! I put Marley down and started singing. Marlon looked at me almost shocked but I closed my eyes

"I done been around the world, I done kissed a lot of girls, so I'm guessing that it's true. Make me holla and I bet a million dollas don't nobody kiss it like you. Don't nobody kiss it like you, don't nobody kiss it like you ba-baby. Don't nobody kiss it like you, don't nobody kiss it like you. It's five in the mornin', kush is rollin' while she's making steak and eggs. At five in the morning we can only be about to do one thing" Jermaine piped up "What? See, I told her the devil is a lie" I laughed "them other girls can't compete with mine. You do it so good, you fuck my mind" Jermaine nodded "you pull it out then you open wide. You make me wanna tap out everytime-" I take over again, looking straight at Marley "Your pretty lips leave me so inspired." Jermaine giggled and started singing with me "I think that she's a winner, she could be a keeper cause', she's such a good kisserrrr! Got lipstick on my leg, oh babe-bay!" Rebbie was just like 😅 "this song is.. widly inappropriate." Marlon is just like "Toriano sings. Like sing sings?" He is shocked. Marley is.. dying. She's so flustered. Michael is just dancing. He wouldn't admit it but, he knows every word to this song. Janet is dancing with La Toya which is just adorable. Me and Jermaine continue our amazing duet and we just continue our party.

The party turns into a sleepover we're all asleep in my room, snuggling. These kinds of nights used to happen all the time but, Jackie and Rebbie were "too old" and with our group, we rarely have time. So I'm going to appreciate them. Nothing last forever..
