A Brothers Eyes

7. Intimacy

The next day

Amina and I were sitting On my couch , catching up as we usually do after school.
"Where did you go the other day Jabari and I looked everywhere for you"
"I'm sure Yall did"
"No seriously"
"What did Yall do when you couldn't find me ?"
"We went to Gladys knights and we chilled"
"Oh I see , that's wassup.. I was with Dre "
"as in Andre?"
"Yeah"
"What yall did"
"We chilled and watched movies, then we got to talking about our fathers , I cried a little. He kissed me and then we ate piz-"
"Wait, did you say Yall kissed?"
"Yeah, but it was just once "
"Girl how was it"
"Lawd , It was everything "
" I bet. What you got so about Jarrett"
"What about him ?"
"Oh excuse me then"
"Nah farreal though I'm not wasting my time with Jarrett"
"You like Dre now"
"No, you need to focus on Jabari"
"Ohh is that attitude, yeah you feelin dre" she said with her atlien accent.
"Bitch I'm dead" we both bust out laughing.
"Speaking of the devil" I looked up to see Dre pulling into my driveway.

I didn't know how to act around him the first time since that night at his house , I played it cool as he walked up the driveway to sit between me and Amina.
"Wassup Mina"
"Hey Dre!" Amina Screamed all excited with her petty ass. He chuckled. Amina made it so obvious that I spilled tea.
"Sup Miyah"
"You Can Call Me Jay"
"I Can But I Choose To Call You Miyah, I Like That Better Anyways" He Smirked.
"Smart Ass Mouth"
Amina grinned like she was watching Jerry Springer.
"Aye Mina , Can You Give Me A Minutes With Ya Girl"
"Oh, It's Ok I Was Headed Out Anyways , Text Me Later" She was backing away moving her pointer fingers between us laughing and dancing.
"Alright Girl!" I Rolled my eyes knowing I would get grilled later. I focused my eyes on my fingernails, pretending to be busy inside I was nervous as hell.

"So Ma , What's Up Witchu ? You Avoiding Me?"
"No I'm Just Getting Ready To Graduate And I'm Worried About My Future, I'm Farreal"
He Starred like his mind was far off then looked at me.
"I'm Not Good With People And I See Things At A Very Different Angle No Disrespect But That Sounds Like A Pile Of Bullshit To Me"
He Had some nerve questioning me and then insulting me.
"Okay , Believe what you want" I was already feeling weird and I honestly didn't care to hear any more of his smart ass mouth today. I Got up and was more than ready to leave. He was on my trail like white on rice , he gently grabbed my arm.
"Hol' Up, I Asked One Question, And Voiced One Opinion And You Walking Away Like I Told You To Kick Rocks What The Fuck"
"No, I Just don't have the time or patience to deal right now, I'm being dead ass Witchu"
He crossed his arms across his chest.
"So You saying you had no extra time at all just to walk to the place you made plenty of time for all these years , simply to say wassup , I'm alive , or nothing?"
" No I'm saying although I may have had time I decided to stay home so I could focus on my last month of high school and figure my life out"
"Well , when you figure it out text me , I saved my name in your phone already"
"Okay what did you save your name as ?"
"It'll Stand Out, trust me" he said with a mischievous grin.
Lord. What am I gonna do with this boy...
