Jaime POV
Me and Xyla are up early in the morning making breakfast because... I honestly don't know why she just felt like it. Talking about some type of bonding time. Really I just think she doesn't want to be down here by herself. But she wants to make me feel included.
I want to dance and cook breakfast. I'm surprise my mom haven't waking up yet. My mom is usually the one making breakfast.
I watched her make way around the kitchen, and I couldn't help but be captivated by her beauty. I don't know it's like everything about her just fascinates me. And it just gets worse as the days go on. I don't know if she feels the same way about me. There's no way to tell because she's not an affectionate person. She doesn't do well with talking about her emotions or saying I love you. I am definitely the affectionate one in this friendship or whatever we have going on. I completely understand why she is the way she is, her growing up situation wasn't the best. Our situation's were actually similar yet a lot different. I perceive things differently than she did even though we were in the same situation. The difference is her mom moved on after her Dad went to jail and did a total flip on her. My mom didn't get a chance to move on because my dad stole years of her life. just treating her like shit and doing the wildest shit.
Usher came on and I hopped up and started dancing and she laughed.
"Come here baby."
"I am not you baby." She shot me a side eye and put down the spoon and made her way over to me and I pulled her in my arms. "You make me wanna leave the one I'm wit and start a new relationship with you." We swayed back and forth and she laughed softly and wrapped her arms around me.
"If we gone do husband and wife sway we gotta sing something like Luther vandross, like Alexia play here and now by Luther Vandross here and now." The music started play. "Hold me tighter." I laughed.
"You a pro at this."
"No just do it, I always wanted to-" I pulled her in closer and tighter and she took in a sharp breath. " I always wanted to do this with my husband." She stared at me.
"So you want me to be your husband?" She smiled softly.
"This you? No. But the better version of you that you will eventually become if you allow yourself to? Yes. You are great already though, just not husband material, you like sneaky link material." She laughed.
"So what I am hearing is there is a chance?"
"Of course." She smiled, she laid her hand on my chest and we swayed.
"Like at y'all looking in love." My mom voice boomed through the room and snapped us out of it.
"Momma..." I groaned and Xyla laughed. Xyla let me go and went and turned off the music.
" oh, stop whining fucking cry baby." Xyla mouth dropped and they laughed.
"Baby why you leave me hanging like this."
"My name is Xyla." I sighed
We finish cooking, and we all grab a plate, and sit down and started watching whatever show she put on, called claws. She is in love with this show.
" so my birthday is coming up and I was thinking maybe we should do something for my birthday. Maybe take a trip or do something fun." She put her plate in the and she flopped down on the couch. " But I think we should definitely do that. I've never been out of Connecticut well to here yeah but other places no."
" Where would you want to go?"
" Cabo, maybe Cancun, maybe Bali, maybe Vegas I don't know I've never been anywhere to make a conscious in knowing decision I would have to just go into it blindly something I can afford at the time."
" I am going to pay for it."
" no you shouldn't have to pay for my whole birthday trip. I get the whole thing when we go out and buy me a random things and stuff like that but paying for a whole trip is too much."
" girl, you better than me because he would've been taking me to Tokyo." They laughed.
" I really did always wanted to go to Tokyo. Maybe that can be a trip though."
" me too." My mom smiled. " You have to take us to Tokyo. You have no choice."
" I do have a choice and why do I want to take you out to Tokyo? What is in Tokyo that y'all wanna see?"
" just the art, I'm gonna go to a few wholesale shops. Just do a lot of stuff out there. There's so many things to see. Tokyo and all of those Asian countries are the makers of everything. I would love to see how everything is made. I want to have fun." My mom explained.
" you didn't convince me of anything. You gotta convince me to take you to Tokyo. What am I gonna get out of taking you to Tokyo?"
" You are going to make your momma really happy." She smiled and I laughed.
"Okay." I sat beside Xyla and I grabbed her leg.
I just love the feel of her skin and her body. It's just so soft and it smells so good. I could be around her all the time. I want to be wrapped up in her arms.
"Stop touching me." She snapped and that shit sent my heart to my ass. "Awe... I am sorry." She grabbed my hand.
"What?" She laughed.
"Your face." She continued to laughed. "I didn't mean to be mean."
"It's not funny."
It's felt like she denied my love my love or something, I don't know why that hurt my feelings.
"I am sorry Jai. Come on." She put my hand back and I just wasn't into it anymore.
"This is some funny shit. He is sensitive." My mom laughed.
Xyla POV
I watched as the confused sadness sat on his face. You would think I killed his pet bird.
He got up and sat on the other couch.
"You are so dramatic!" I yelled.
Physical touch was definitely his love language and the fact I rejected it probably really stung. His mom and I had this talk, he is a real hands on lover and I probably broke his heart. He just wants to love me.
It's was still funny cause he's dramatic.
He pulled out his phone and started scrolling.
"I am not even doing anything." He shrugged. "You don't wanna be touch so I will just distant myself." He spoke just above a whisper and let out a deep sigh.
"I am sorry, come on."
"I am gonna go check on my Granny." She excused herself.
I sat my drink down and walked over to him and sat in his lap and he naturally throw his arm across my leg.
He couldn't help himself.
"Do you feel better now." He shrugged not lifting up his head. "Jaimes."
"Mm?"
"I love you."
"I love you more." He stay in a really low register.
"You still salty? You know what?" I hopped up and he pulled me back down and dropped his phone and wrapped his arms around me and I turn to mush in his arms and he kissed me all over. "You feel better." He smiled and nodded.
"I feel amazing."
"You are so clingy." I groaned and he kissed my neck.
"You love it." He laughed.
