Behind Closed Doors

After our night out I couldn't stop thinking of Onika.

I'm getting more and more attached to her and my biggest fear is that she might not feel the same way.

Right now I was in Target with my parents and little sister.

"Yo Earth to effiel tower you think mom would let me buy this?" And she proceeds to show me a lightsaber.

"Maybe but me personally? No. you'd probably beat me with it." She rolled her eyes.

"I will beat you with it! I'm going as a Jedi for halloween. What are you and your group of losers doing?" She asked as we kept walking.

Had no idea where my dad and mom were in this store but if they were here they'd probably tell us both to shut the fuck up and stop arguing.

"We're going to the amusement park, they have a giant haunted house and Aubrey managed to get us tickets last minute." I said eyeing some of the Halloween candy.

"Oooh you're gonna be a haunted house with UH-NIK-UH." She said and then giggled.

"Man shut up—what about it?" I asked and she looked at me like I was stupid.

"I know you got some type of brain that big ass head of yours, you're gonna be in a dark place—on halloween night—with the girl of your dreams—and you aren't gonna pull a classic horror movie trope and kiss her?" She sounded so surprised.

To be honest I didn't think of that.

I mean that is the perfect scene—being chased by monsters, it's dark and scary. we get locked in a room—no I pull her into a room by her waist or maybe a tight space; I push her up against a wall we're so close that I can feel her breath on me and she's scared and I look into those big brown eyes and we both lean in...

"That sounds corny as shit." I said to my little sister.

"But you're corny! So it's right up your alley." She said with a sneaky grin and I slapped her with the bag of popcorn.

"Damn! This shit hit like a pound of bricks. Not my fault you don't have any ways to get pussy." She said I ignored her and kept rolling our cart.

"I don't just wanna get in her pants dumbass. I wanna—actually date her." I admit. I think this is the first time I really admited it outloud.

I want to date Onika.

"Date her? Really?" She sounded so surprised and I was a little embarrassed so I didn't make eye contact.

"Yeah—she's just really cool. I don't know—what do you think of her?" I asked and Solange put on a Halloween mask from the Clarence section as she groaned at my question.

"What do you think? She's cool as fuck! I'm only groaning because your dumbass ain't bag that yet." She crossed her arms and It was kinda funny watching her tap her foot with a Freddie Kruger mask.

"It ain't my fault I didn't know if she was gay for the longest time! I'm still not fully sure but maybe I have a chance ya know?" I couldn't believe I thought asking my sister for dating validation was good.

She sighed and stepped up placing her hand on my shoulder.

"Listen, I enjoy pissing you off and continuously saying you get no bitches. You know that we understand each other." She said and I nodded.

"But Onika is real! Not those other girls you messed around with and know why you never introduced them to Mama?"

"Because she would've interrogated them to the end and question my choice in woman."She shrugged.
