"I need to talk to you about somethin'," Jimmy's voice had that low, urgent tone, his eyes locked onto mine, like he was searching for something deep in there. My heart did a little dance, anticipation mixing with a touch of nerves as I waited for him to spill.
Jimmy looked all kinds of nervous, but he was doing his best to play it cool... My eyes twinkled with curiosity, wondering what had him all worked up.
I was hoping to the heavens he'd say what I was thinking... I've been waiting on this moment all week. Despite my own struggles, Jimmy had somewhat been the light keeping me going.
Lately, around him, I've been feeling different, softer... Not as guarded and prickly. There's something about him that just makes me feel safe. Like, crazy safe.
But I didn't wanna let myself get too carried away with what he might wanna talk about... Didn't wanna end up feeling let down. But why wouldn't he speak about it, y'know? The way he looks at me, how we get lost in each other's eyes... I'm hoping he feels the same way I do. That kiss we shared shoulda sealed the deal, right? So why the second-guessin' and nerves?...
Maybe I'm just scared he's playing me, tellin' me what I wanna hear just to get what he wants.
I've been down that road before... Trusting someone only to get hurt and feel even worse about myself. But Jimmy ain't like that, right? I've been seein' a whole new side to him... He's just a genuine sweetheart...laid back, charming, funny. And then he's so passionate about his music...I never realized it before.
My heart skipped a beat when I stumbled upon those lyrics in his notepad... I couldn't help but wonder if they were about me. But I didn't wanna jump to conclusions, y'know? The idea of him weaving a girl like me into his passion, it was something else. Still, I brushed it off like it was no big deal, making a joke out of it. But who really knows? Maybe it was somethin' old about that other chick he was with. Reluctantly, the thought of him having lyrics about her sent a slight pang of jealousy through me.
"Yeah?" I replied, biting my inner lip unconsciously, anticipation bubbling inside me... Even though I tried to keep calm, damn, I really hoped it was something good.
But just before he could open his mouth again, Wink and the rest of my brother's crew were calling him over to do some more takes and check out more beats.
"Dawg, hold up for a minute," Jimmy said to his crew, obviously irritated.
"Nah, dawg, come on, we need to get this shit started, we ain't playin' no more," Sol hyped up. "Why the hell y'all over there snuggled up together for anyway, huh? What's going on?" He teased, and the rest of the crew chimed in, joining the teasing.
