Katoria Halim
After getting out of the shower and brushing my teeth, I picked a pretty, but comfortable outfit. I left my in a wild, but cute hairstyle, figuring that there would be big roller coasters and water rides.
I was sitting on Marlo's bed, waiting on them to finish dressing. Darren was already dressed and I kept looking at him while he wasn't looking. He was so cute and I loved how quiet he is.
He caught me looking and smirked and I smiled and pulled out my phone to tweet.
"@QueensFinest_: when you're crushing on someone > ☺️😍"
I locked my phone back and looked at them. I never noticed how many tattoos Jarret had, but they made me curious.
"Why you got so many tattoos?" I asked as he looked for a shirt to wear in his duffel bag.
He looked up and smacked his lips, seeing it was me talking to him and I laughed.
"Oh, you talkin' to me now, huh? But, because I like gettin' them." He said shrugging. I nodded and I looked at the others to see if they had any. Darren had one on his chest and I couldn't tell what it said, but I knew it was cursive.
Xae and Marlo didn't have any, unless I just couldn't see them.
"I think I want a tattoo." I said. They looked at me and laughed.
"For what? And you just turned sixteen, plus you know yo Uncle Kenn is, he ain't going for that shit." Xae said chuckling. I mugged him, knowing he was right. Someone knocked at the door and I got up to get it, but was pulled back when the knocking suddenly turned into banging. I looked at Marlo and he gestured for me to move away from it. I moved back as he went up to it and put his ear to it.
"Call your dad." He whispered and I began to get scared and sat back on the bed, calling him.
"Yes, princess?"
"Dad, someone is at the door and they're banging." I said. Darren came over and sat by me.
"What? You still in Marlo room?" He asked.
"Yeah."
"Alright let me go see." He said and then I heard him moving around and then silence, and then he spoke again.
"Princess, stay in that room and don't come out! Don't come out, Katoria! You hear me?"
"Yes dad, what's going on?" I asked completely scared now. Everything has been good so far and I hoped that whatever this was about wouldn't ruin this trip.
"Don't worry, princess. Just do what your cousins tell you. I love you." He said and the call ended. I looked at Xae and he shook his head and sat next to me.
"We gone be good, just calm down." He said and I hugged him.
"What's going on?" I asked.
"Shit, that's something you gone have to talk to ya pops about." Marlo said and I furrowed my eyebrows. My dad wouldn't keep any secrets from me, would he?
An hour passed by and I was still in the same position, sitting on the bed, hugging Xae. He got up and went over to Marlo so I hugged on Darren. He didn't hug back at first so I looked up at him and he smirked at hugged my neck, and mumbled in my ear.
"You look good today."
I smiled and buried my head in his neck.
"What the fuck is this? Aw, man. This nigga done stole my girl. Get up Darren. You gotta square up." Jarret said and I couldn't help but laugh.
Darren looked at him, chuckled, then shook his head. I felt myself being pulled out of Darren's arms, and when I noticed it was Xae I mugged him.
"That nigga is dangerous, Katoria. Leave him alone." He said and I gave him a confused look, then looked back at Darren.
I didn't have time to ask what he meant because my father was calling me.
"Hello? Dad, what's going on?"
"Put Marlo on the phone, Princess."
I handed the phone to Marlo and they talked for about five minutes before he handed me the phone back. My dad had hung up.
"It's cool now, he said to get to the Rv." He said and I grabbed my purse. I don't like being left out of things.
When I got outside, I saw my uncles and my dad standing outside the Rv. I mugged my dad and he gave me a confused look.
"Why won't you tell me anything?" I asked him as everyone else got in.
"Princess, it's nothing for you to worry about. Just make sure you have fun today, okay?"
I huffed and shook my head.
"Okay, but don't turn into mom and keep secrets from me."
"I won't."
I hugged him and climbed into the Rv and went to the back. Marlo was spread out on the couch I was on, so I sat on him, but he didn't seem to mind.
"You feel like a gallon of milk, Katoria. How much you weigh?" He asked laughing.
"I think around one twelve." I said shrugging and leaning back. Jarret was looking at me and I rolled my eyes at him.
"Love you too babe." He said making me laugh. I hope today would be nothing but fun.
