It Is What It Is

Chapter 16

Marvin
I walked down the stairs in some jogging bottoms and Nike socks. My youngest sister, Samiya, was on the couch crying.

"What's wrong?" I asked her lifting her onto my lap.

"Mummy said that I'm not allowed to play out with Kishantay because she's bad and she's poor. Kishantay is my only ...friend" she told me.

"I'll talk to mummy for you" I assured her, she nodded. Samiya was the quiet one and she was polite. Kayra was the loud rude and naughty one. That was the only way you could tell them apart. Samiya walked upstairs as Cairo came down.

"Yo we need to talk" said Cairo.

"Ite what?"

"That girl Aisha, you need to be careful with her. She's working with SouthPlace. Trifling bitch" he mumbled that part.

"We need to come up with a plan" I told him, he nodded.

"yeah. Try get her into ur bed and then kidnap her or sum shit" Cai suggested. "Yeah anyways we'll talk later. Gotta go check up on Ricardo see how he doing" he said referring to his son.

"Ite innabit" we did our handshake and he was out the door. I sighed. I looked down to see Ayesha was calling me, I smiled.

"Heyyyy" I greeted her. She laughed.

"Yo b, what you sayin" she said tryna imitate me. I laughed.

"Whatever. Anyways what you up to?" I asked her.

"nothing really, watching Empire. How bout you?" She asked me.

"Nothing really as well. Just talking to ur sexy ass" I said sexily.

"Boy plsss" she laughed.

"Let's face time" I suggested.

"Sure" she hung up and phoned me on face time, I immediately picked up. She was wearing a red headscarf, she was lying down on a pillow. It look like she was wearing a black v-neck. Damn.

"Heyy" she chirped.

"Yo" I said back with a mouth full of crisps.

"Eeww, I can see everything -ewwwwww!" She screeched as I opened my mouth some more to annoy her. Then her little sister appeared on the screen. Waving.

"Hey baby Ayesha" I cooed. I probably sounded gay AF.

"Heyyo" she said with her tiny voice. She looked like Ayesha but she was a little lighter and had silkier hair.

"How are you Nene" I asked her by her nickname

"Thank you fine" I laughed as she got her words jumbled up. "Tired" she moaned as she tapped Ayesha shoulders. Ayesha was calmly reading until Nene tapped her. She huffed.

"Ite I'll talk to you later Marv. She's tired I gotta put her lil ass to bed cos my mums coming back tomorrow we need to be prepared. Night " she informed me. I frowned.

"Byee boo", she hung up. I set my phone down and washed up the dishes. After that I took a long nice shower.  I finally came and wiped myself down and walked out. I creamed myself with coconut cream and put some lynx on. I went to bed with just some blue boxers.

1 month later
It was like 3 months and a few weeks since I'd known Ayesha. I still wanted to ask her out but it seemed to early for that. It was half term and I was gonna link Ayesha at nandos. I arrived first. I was wearing a boss Hugo cap, with white airforces, and black jumper and some Levis. I made sure to look and smell good, as always.

When I'd finished getting us table, Ayesha arrived wearing a black dress, which was hugging her body and some black huaraches and a black Nike cap. I stood up and hugged her. She smelled nice.

"What you gonna order?" I asked her as we sat down. She shrugged.

" I fully don't know . Maybe a burger or something what about you?" She.asked me.

"Maybe the same " I agreed with her. We talked and talked until our food arrived. When we ate I paid even though she objected. When we walked outside, we saw a group of Southplace boys.

"Oi is that M'Savage from 78D!?" I heard one of them yell referring to me.

"Marvin what's going on?!" Ayesha asked clutching onto my hand as they came running to us.

"RUN!" I whispered to her . We ran all the way down the main street. Then we turned into a little alleyway. It was so small it was hard to contain the both of us but, we managed to get in. The guys must of not seen us as they ran right past us. We both sighed in unison. Then out of no where, Ayesha slapped me.

"What the fuck was that for!?" I whispered loudly. She kissed her teeth.

"We coulda died, you need to get yourself out of all this gang shit, seriously" she told me angrily, "You are not your brother!".

I grabbed her by her hips and pulled her close. I buried my face into her neck and licked her, she moaned lightly. But, then she pulled away abruptly.
