10 Tiny Toes || Oscar Diaz

Chapter 10

Walking into Ruby's house my eyebrows furrowed. I looked at Jamal and Ruby who sat on the couch while Jasmine was standing in the hallway.

"I'm hi guys" I said waving, they only waved before I rolled my eyes and sat on one of the other couches.

"He's making everything about a girl" Jamal complained crossing his arms. "I'll leave you two to discuss" Jamal said walking it the front door.

Ruby and Jasmine started to walk away when they stopped after Jamal went to open the door. They all gasped as Jamal slammed the door shut.

I looked at them confused. My eyebrows raised in surprising when Jamal opened the door and I heard the voice speak. "Someone shot one of the homies." He said. "Have you see Cesar? He ain't answering his phone." Oscar explained. "His phone ain't working."

"Now that anyone broke it or anything. It just died..." Jamal stammered.

"If you see him, tell him I'm looking for him." Oscar said. I still hadn't seen him. I couldn't only hear him from here I was sitting.

Jamal closed the door and turned to look at ruby and Jasmine.

"I'm still going, I just wanted to give Oscar some lead time" Jamal said going to open the door but it flung open. "One-time!" Oscar yelled closing the door behind him.

This is the L.A.P.D.
This block is on lockdown.
For your safety,
Remain inside until further advised,

All we could hear was the helicopter above the house.

"I said, I can't believe we're stuck in the house with Oscar!" Jamal screamed into jasmines ear, causing me to chuckle and Oscar to turn and look at him.

Jasmine started to annoyingly laugh and point towards Jamal making me roll my eyes. "Ma! Yeah I'm safe, no I'm inside" ruby said over the phone to him mama.

Oscar rubbed his face, he was annoyed about being stuck in a house full of kids. He trudged over to me and took a seat on the couch.

"Hi" I smiled over at him, rubbing my stomach softly, something I always did to calm my nerves. It had been a few weeks since Oscar admitted he wasn't scared of the fact that I was having a baby.

Just about everyone knew me as spookys girl, I had a huge red light on me since I was pregnant specially. Everyone seemed to think that the baby was Oscar's. He said not to correct them either as it would just confuse them even more.

Jamal and Jasmine took a seat next to Oscar, he aggressively rubbed his forehead in response. "Can I get you anything? Water? Coffee? Tea?" Jamal asked, "personal space" Oscar said bluntly, sitting back on the couch.

Jamal stood and walked around Oscar, sitting on the edge of the couch, even closer to him. "Yo, why you so close to me?" Oscar groaned, he was over this already. I couldn't help but laugh at the situation that unfolded in front of me. "There's like 5 other seats." He said pointed to the couch I was sitting on.

Jamal pulled his eye patch down and looking at Oscar again almost like he was talking himself into something.

"I wanted to ask you something... if that's okay. But if it's not okay, I don't need to ask, even though I'm dying to know. But I don't need to die. Now that you'd kill me, but you could." Jamal rambled nervously.

"If I say yes, will you shut up?" Oscar replied looking over at Jamal. Jamal nodded.

"Do you know who Lil' Ricky is?" Jamal finally asked and I rolled my eyes. Fucking rollerworld.

"Which Lil' Ricky? You talking about Baby Ricky's daddy or Tiny Ricky's son?" Oscar asked, his jaw flexed while he watched Jamal scroll through his phone. "Ricardo Golindo"

Oscar scared to laugh, something I loved to hear, just the way that he smiled while he laughed and talked with Jamal. His tan skin looked absolutely incredible in black.

Tuning back into their conversation I continued to watch Oscar. He had glanced at me a couple times, never catching my eye sight for more than a couple seconds and looking away. I didn't pull my eyesight off of him for one second. My heart pumped.

"Is there anything you could tell me?" Jamal asked seriously.

"Do I scared you?" Oscar asked, Jamal nodded frantically. "Yeah," "well he scared me." Oscar said, his voice sounded to raspy it instantly turned me on.

"My parents are stuck, which sucks 'cause they were on a Costco run. There's no snacks in the house" ruby said sadly.

"But... if I don't have snacks—" Jamal started, I watched as Oscar moved away from him. "Tell me you have snacks in your purse." Jamal said eagerly.

"Boo, you know I do" Jasmine said smiling and opening her purse. "It's egg salad, but... it's warm." She said causing my stomach to turn. That is now what a pregnant woman wants to hear.

Jasmine passed it in front of Oscar's face, he looked up at me in pure disgust.

Jamal started it eat the disgusting sandwich. "Why are you eating that?" Ruby asked, gagging at the thought. "For the greater good" Jamal whined.

Oscar looked as tho he was going to throw up, "is that that sandwich?" He asked, "No, it's me." Jasmine said ashamed. "I got the egg booty coughs."

"Oh, I swear to go, if you don't go away" Oscar said pointing in the other direction making Jasmine get up and basically run away.

Oscar's phone started to go off, he pulled it out of his pocket. "Where can I take this?" Oscar asked. "There's a bathroom." Ruby pointed.

"Hermosa, come with me" Oscar said nodding towards the bathroom and I followed him.

-

He talked on the phone for a while and finally hung up.

"Hola, Hermosa" he whispered, instantly connecting his lips to mine, not even taking a second to think about it.

My arms stayed around his neck as he gently placed me on the bathroom counter, our lips never separating.

"Come on, they are going to wonder what's happening" I said pulling away and smiling up at him. He nodded, kissing me one more time before we walked out of the bathroom.

Oscar stood against the wall, we watched as these kids play games in the dark.

"Fine. I'm changing my answer. I'd make love to Jamal and Marry Ruby. Happy?" Monse said.

"I am. Because even though we're married, we're having sex, and a lot of it." Ruby smiled.

Oscar started to laugh, hysterically. "Uh... you wanna play?" Jamal asked.

"Okay," Oscar said, "I'd kill you, I'd kill you, I'd smash you, I'd smash you. Fine. I'd smash you too. Then I'd kill you" Oscar said, he turned to look at me. "I'd marry you" he smirked and I rolled my eyes.
