The Bad Boy Next Door

Deandre POV
Time Skip:8AM

I explained to Inez what happened, she was mad at me for getting jealous but she understood & gave me good advice. I dropped her off home then made my way to Amina's Grandparents house. It was a long drive but worth it. I grabbed flowers for her,her Mom & Grandmother. I met Amina's Grandma she's so nice & caring. I see where she gets it from.

So she'll be here in 10 mins. I didn't tell her you were coming so yeah. Kasem said.

What?? Why not?? I asked him in the backyard as we were smoking.

She wouldn't have come here. I know her more than you. One time she was mad at me & didn't talk to me for a whole 6 months. Kasem laughed.

What did you do to fix it?? I asked looking at him.

I gave her the space. I waited for her to contact me. That reminds me I needa take her gun from her when she comes in here. Kasem said getting up.

Yeah we should. You'll be good bro. We got you if shit go down.K.J said laughing & dapping me up.

Shit not funny ngha. I really do love her. I can't just not be with her for months. I said pulling out my phone & checking the time only 5 mins passed.

30 mins passed. She still wasn't here. Then I heard her voice in the kitchen. I smiled & felt that feeling in my heart anytime she's around.

Amina POV

I got back to my Grandparents house a little late but I needed time alone. I lost someone so close to me. I smelled food being cooked so I went towards the kitchen & hugged everyone. Then I noticed I didn't see Kasem in the house. K.J was sitting at the island eating his food.

Kasem in the backyard?? I asked my Mom.

Yeah & the rest of food will be done in 10 mins. She said hugging me & rubbing my shoulder. I was about to go in the backyard but K.J called me.

Yes K.J?? I asked walking up to him.

Lemme get your gun. He said.

Why?? Stop being weird. Who's in the backyard? I asked irritated walking back in the backyard as my brother followed behind me quickly.

Then I saw DeAndre with flowers & gift bags in his hand. Tears swelled in my eyes but I had so much mixed emotions. I was trying to blink them away but it fell. He came closer to me, wiping my tears,  & hugging me tightly to his chest. My brothers went into the house quickly to give us privacy.

I'm sorry I didn't mean to get mad at you. He said softly.

I-I don't want you here. I said looking at the floor & sniffling.

You don't mean that baby. Look me in my eyes & tell me then Kali. He said holding my face.

I don't want you here Zion.Why do you keep hurting me? It took me a while to trust you but I still did. Why don't you trust me? I said looking at him with teary eyes as my voice broke.

I've been overthinking a lot lately. My anxiety was getting bad again. I don't wanna let you go. I can't lose you.He said hugging me with tears in his eyes.
