Once You Go Hood.....

Chapter 2: Late Night Revelations

I was completely dumbfounded......

He had..... a crush... on me?

No way. That's impossible. I would have known............... or would I? Cuz after all, he didn't know that I had a crush on him..... I wonder..... if maybe.....he still does....?

"Kyra! What you doin up there? We done already got all the covers and stuff." somebody called. I snapped out of my thoughts and cut off his bedroom light then shut the door on my way out.

As I was comin down the steps, I spotted a pillow somebody had dropped. I bent down and picked it up and as I did, the scent on it caught my attention. It smelled like Dre. This must be his pillow. For some strange reason..... I smiled. I walked down the rest of the steps and entered the livin room where the covers and pillows were all spread out on the floor.

"I'm not sleepin next to Mia. Her armpits smell like dog breath and baby farts." said Dre. I laughed and he turned towards me, just now noticin that I was in the room, and smiled his beautiful smile.

"Shut up, Dre. At least I don't look like P. Diddy on crack." replied Mia. Me and Mario got weak.

"Hold up, Mia. Me and Dre is twins so whatever he look like, I look like. And I'll be damned if I look like P. Diddy on crack." said Asia. I laughed again but I was gettin sleepy so I decided to intervene.

"Look, it's 3 in the mornin and we gotta get up at 8 to go to church. It's too late to be arguin. Let's just go to sleep." I said. As if on cue, Asia and Dre yawned at the same time, Mia stretched and Mario rubbed his eyes. It was officially time to go to sleep. I cut off the livin room lights and left on the kitchen light.

I laid down on a black and red comforter near the wall so I could plug my phone up to it's charger. After I plugged up my phone, I placed Dre's black pillow under my head as my phone glowed in the dark. We all laid in a row. Asia laid down to my right and Mia was next to her.  Dre was next to Mia and Mario was after him. Both  Mia and Asia wore the breathing strips we told them to wear.

"Hold up. I don't wanna sleep next to Mia." said Dre.

"I don't wanna sleep next to you either, lame." said Mia wit a attitude. I sighed.

"Omg, it's too late at night for this. Asia, scoot down so Dre can sleep next to me." I said, slightly irritated and extremely tired. Her and Mia scooted down and Dre got up and laid next to me.

"There. Now is everybody cool?" I asked.

"Actually, can I sleep on the other side of you? No offense but, Mia, I heard you snore real bad." said Mario. I rolled my eyes as I scooted away from the wall, closer to Dre so that Mario could squeeze next to me.

"Is everybody cool NOW?" I asked. Everybody muttered a yes and I laid on my stomach and closed my eyes, satisfied.

As I was just beginning to drift into a deep sleep, somebody poked my dimple. I opened my eyes and was met with illuminated hazel ones. My phone lit up his face in the dark.

"What, Drizzy?" I whispered sleepily. He smiled softly at me.

"I can't sleep." he whispered back.

"Well, what you want me to do?" I asked, blinking slowly.

"Sing to me, like you use to." he said.

"Dre, I haven't sung you to sleep since we were 12." I said.

"I know. But I think that maybe some things that happened back then, should happen again now." he said. His face had slipped into a serious expression.

"Dre, what you mean?" I asked confused.

"I just want...... things to be how they were when we were 12..... Or maybe...... how they should of been..... You understand what I mean, Ky?" he asked with a hopeful expression.

"I'm sorry but, no. I don't have a clue about what you mean." I said genuinely. His face fell.

"Nevermind...." he replied. He turned over and laid on his back, lookin up at the ceiling. I watched him for a few seconds, wonderin what he meant.

"Dre, what's really goin on? And don't say nothin cuz you know I hate that." I said.

"Noth-"

"Dre!" I said, cuttin him off.

"Man, can ya'll shut up? I'm tryna go to sleep." said Asia, sleepily.

"My bad, Asia." I said and sat up. I stood up and Dre looked at me. I bent down and grabbed his arm then pulled him up off the floor. He looked down at me confused.

"We goin somewhere to talk." I said and pulled him into the foyer and outside the front door. We stood on the porch and I looked up at him expectantly.

"Well, start talkin." I said. He sighed heavily and rubbed the back of his neck.

"Kyra...... you just don't know..... how much you....." he said, fightin for words.

"Dre... spit it out."

"How much you mean to me." he finished.

"Yes, I do. I'm yo sis, yo K-digga, yo bestie-"

"No, Kyra. More than that." he said cuttin me off. My face wrinkled in confusion.

"Oh my God, you still don't get it. Kyra, for you to be smart as hell, you sure don't catch on to things very quickly." he said, wipin his face with his hands.

"Dre, if you just straight up, tell me what's up, maybe I won't be confused." I said.

"Kyra, I........ I-I........................ I love you."

"Dre, I love you too. Now tell me what's up." I said, waitin for him to tell me.

"That's just it, Kyra! I love you!" he yelled.

"...... And I said I love you too. Now are you gonna tell me what's up or what?" I asked gettin frustrated. Why can't he just tell me? He looked at me with an exasperated expression. Then he began to laugh. I frowned.

"What's so funny?" I asked. That seemed to make him laugh harder.

"Dre, I'm not playin. Why are you laughin?" I asked. He continued to laugh his ass off and I got fed up. I turned around and began to walk back in the house when he grabbed my waist, turned me around, looked deep into my eyes and............ kissed me. Kissed me with emotion I've never felt from him. Kissed me like his life depended on it. Kissed me like he loved me. He pulled away and stared down at me with his glowing hazel eyes.

"Kyra......... I LOVE you."
