CHAPTER 2

Tre picked up Dame and dropped him off at the airport. Dame had informed me before he left that Trevante would be sleeping on the couch for a few nights until dame came back. Tre later returned with a gym bag full of clothes and toiletries for his stay. I decided to cook dinner for us. I figured it was the right thing to do. I didn't know if Trevante would want to eat the dinner I made but he was the guest so the least I could do. I sat down by myself to eat the dinner I made while watching Tv on my phone. I cooked chicken alfredo with a side salad and breadsticks. Easy.

" Do you want some ", I point at the dish. He looks at it, he hadn't opened his mouth yet.

" It's Chicken Alfredo. Oh and the salad is a garden salad ....Tre ", I said while looking up at him. I guess I should get used to calling him that. Tre walked over and sat down in front of me. He started putting food onto his plate quietly. He didn't talk much.

" Thanks ", he said before he started eating. I saw him put the chicken Alfredo into his mouth.

" This is really good. I didn't know you could cook like this ", he took another bite.

" I kinda' had to learn ", I looked back down at my plate now.

" What do you mean ? ", said tre. His eyes connected with mine.

" Mom wasn't around to make dinner. So I taught myself ", I said quietly.

" Where's is your mom ? ", said tre.

" I got taken from her. Dame got custody of me last year. He takes care of me as a legal guardian and since he's 20 like you, he raises me. She was on....she's on drugs ", I said. I was embarrassed.

" I'm really sorry to hear that y/n. I know many people with a story like yours. You'd be surprised by how resilient our people can be. Dame is doing the best he can ", said tre.

" I know.... I'm lucky to have him. He takes good care of me ", I said. I finished my food but I continued to watch television on my phone.

" You getting your license this year ? ", he asked.

" Dame taught me how to drive at 14 so yeah. I got my permit but I was thinking of going to get my license this week ", I said.

" I can take you....if you want. I mean who knows how long dame will be gone...it could be 2 or maybe even 3 weeks, ya' know ? ", said Tre as he forked a cherry tomato into his mouth.

" I'd like that....thanks ", I said while staring at his lips, seemingly analyzing my face.

We finished dinner and I picked up our dirty plates and prepped them to be put in the dishwasher. I put the left overs in the fridge and made my way to my room. I took a bath and changed into something more comfortable which was an sports bra and spandex shorts. I laid down in my dark room staring at the ceiling fan. I was counting sheep for hours and hours on end. I just couldn't sleep. I looked over at my night stand and it read 12am.

My body was engulfed in flames. I was burning up. I felt something build up inside of me that I had never experienced before. Something in the pit of my stomach, aching. The restlessness kicked into over drive so I decided to go into the kitchen and search for some sleeping pills. As I walked out in my skimpy clothes I saw the room light up and change colors from the flat screen tv in the living room. I walked into the kitchen and saw Trevante, shirtless and sweaty. He was cooling himself down in front of the fridge. The air was running in our house but for some reason me and Tre were sweating tonight.

I sat there and watched him for a few seconds. He noticed I was there and stood up to his full height. I was around 5ft 7 and he was around 6ft5. He practically towered over me. He looked at the clothes I had on up and down. I soon realized how skimpy I was dressed in front of him but it's summer time in Miami. I'm sure he would understand.
