"I can tell just by your face this part of us been gone for so long
And I know there's no replacing what we had going on for so long
but when it hurts I can make it better
girl if it works it's gone be forever
We been through the worst made it through the weather
Our problems and the pain
But love don't change" Jerimih~Love Don't Change
__________________"Liyahhhhh!" I screamed jumping on her.
Aliyah is Javon's sister and was my girl bestfriend when we were younger. We were the same age so we could relate. Seeming as my birthday is late she was always one grade ahead of me. She started college last year.
We were now at the airport picking her up and we were gonna head to the beach later. After last night my mood has been better and me and Javon have been acting as if nothing ever happened between the two of us and I don't know if that's good or bad.
"I missed you JoJo you look so good"
"You too oh this is Blake Blake this is J's sister Aliyah"
Javon had already greeted his sister and was standing there waiting for is to finish our reunion. We had dropped Erica and Nicki off to the airport while we were picking her up and after Nicki and Aliyah talked they left. It was awkward because the whole ride Javon and Erica refused to speak to one another after she came in the room this morning and saw us cuddled in the bed she was a little stand offish. I didn't say I anything but it was bothering me.
This morning Javon and Marcus had a conversation and even though they were cool Javon wasn't ready to move in quite yet. Marcus tried to speak to me while on the phone with Javon but I'm just not ready to talk to him right now. Blake and Cole had spoken but weren't together yet but she did invite him to the beach later and I told him not to bring Marcus so I hoped that he respected what I wanted cause niggas will nod their head like they get where you coming from and next thing I know I would be sitting by Marcus at the beach so I bugged him about it until he damn near yelled telling me he wouldn't let him come.
___________________We were now in the house putting in our swimwear. With Blake and Javon in the guest rooms and me and Blake in my room.
We were putting a few more items in our bags when we heard a knock on my bedroom door. I opened it to see Javon in black swim pants a black bucket hat Nike sandals and no shirt. I almost drooled.
"Wassup" I asked him while snapping my fingers to bring his attention back to my face and off my bathing suit.
"Oh my bad but can you help me bring some of this stuff down to the car?"
"Oh ok" I grabbed my Michael Kors sandals and my big Victoria secret bag and followed him into the living room to get some bags and the cooler and we took them to the car.
By the time we got to the car I was out if breath. he put everything in the car while I clutched my chest.
"Damn Fat ass you only had two bags."
"Shutup two extra bags wouldn't have hurt you to carry."
He came and stood in front of my making my back touch the drivers door of the car.
"I know but I wanted you to come with me so I can get at you for a minute."he said grabbing my waist.
"Alright so was up then."
He took his hand and ran them through his curly fade like haircut and looked at me licking his lips.
"I'm feeling you NeNe." he said biting his bottom lip.
"And I want you. I know what you been through since you got her and I just want to make it better ma."
I sighed. "Jav-"
"No listen. I know what I said that day in the mall but I got to know you all over again and I like what I've learned your strong mindset your slick ass mouth you soft lips." he said whispering that last part causing my breath to hitch in my throat.
"And when I seen you with Marcus I realized that I needed you and when we kissed that day I realized that you I wanted you so fucking bad and you wanted me just as much and that's why Andrea was pissed the day before because I told her just that. I want you Journey. Gimme a chance ma, please."
I didn't know what to say I was so happy and at this moment I realized that I wanted Javon so much and that wasn't gonna change no matter what. He was my bestfriend and the first boy that ever had my heart and we've made it clear that we loved each other but to hear him say this was something totally different.
I felt a hot year come down my face as I bit my lip. He took my face into his hands. and wiped my year away with his thumb.
"Damn don't cry Journey. Say something Ne."
I wanted to but I couldn't. I wasn't sad I was just too happy and emotional to bring myself to speak.
I nodded.
"Yes?" He raised his eyebrows with hope.
I nodded again smiling .
He leaned down and kissed my lips softly. He then deepened the kiss sliding his tongue into my mouth that I gladly welcomed. For some reason this kiss wasn't like the rest. It felt like our first and I was feeling a whole new version of happiness.
I pulled back and my face became serious.
"Don't hurt me Javon." I said looking into his eyes.
He wrapped his arms around my shoulders pulling me into a hug.
"I won't baby I swear I won't"
