"Were you 'bout to go somewhere?" Nariah asked me as we still stood outside of the condo complex.
"Not really I was just exploring." I said absentmindedly
"Cool, so you can chill with us." Nariah grabbed a hold my hand pushing past her brother and his friends. I laughed at her random act of unkindness towards her brother.
"For real Riaha?" Jah asked pretending to be hurt
"Yes for real, move!" She rolled her eyes
"Have fun while you can before she turns on you too Janelle" he pointed his long finger at me laughing causing his left dimple to deepen.
"Oh I'm not you, so she won't turn on me." I said too confident
He raised an perfectly arched eyebrow "And what's that suppose to mean?...punk" he tried to say with a straight face, but failed.
"Punk? And I mean I ain't a 'bum' like you in Nariah's words not mine" I giggled at his facial expression.
"She got you Jah just give it up." Nariah said laughing along with his friends.
"Okay, I like you punk, you may spend the day with us." He smiled as he 'granted' me permission
"Didn't know I had to ask father for permission." I joked
He looked at me with another smile "It tend to be like that. You know you gotta check in with daddy." He smiled dimple and all.
"Well see that would be okay, if I had a 'daddy' Sir Jah" I followed behind him as he led the way to his condo.
"A pretty girl like yourself doesn't have a man? What's wrong with the world?" He said as we walked past my house 3 doors down
"That's cute, but a lots wrong with the world." I said biting the inside of my cheek
"And what that might be?" He mumbled fishing for his keys in his pocket
"Well all the guys are rather taken or too hurt to be in a relationship." I said once again absentmindedly
"How you figure?" He asked pushing the door open letting me walk in first into his warm and colorful domain.
"Well because a girl just knows" I turned around to come face to face with a god.
"Hm great answer Ms. Janelle" he smiled reaching for my army coat that I let him slide off so effortlessly. I watched as he hung it up, everything about him seemed so prefect. Like god himself took a while to make him.
"Please have a seat, you're starting to make me feel like you don't like my home." He smiled that perfect smile again.
"Of course not, you have a wonderful home by the way." I sat on the long lazy boy sofa
"Thank you, thank you. I try." He came into view with 2 green ice teas sitting next to me right when Nariah and friends busted into the house.
"Y'all having a party without me? Jah you trying to take my friend from me already?" Nariah pouted
"No I can't make a new friend too? Dang Riaha you tripping hard over shorty over here." He pointed at me smiling. Is smiling all this man does?
"Oh hush up." I hit his hand softly
"Where did you go anyway?" I asked Nariah
"To walk Teah home" she said
My mouth formed into the shape of an O.
"I'll be back." She smiled at me before going down a long hall way.
"So Ms. Janelle why are you single, if I may ask" Jah turned side ways to face me
I laughed softly at him before answering "I told you because all the good guys are taken." I said with a little pout present on my lips.
He nodded his head with his teeth deep into his bottom lip.
"Are you single?" I asked. Maybe he wasn't that's probably why he wasn't understanding my answer.
"In fact I am, why are you trying to flirt with me?" He asked with a goofy smile painted on his face
"Who me? Never." I said just as goofy as his face looked.
"Lies!" He yelled causing me to laugh loud
"Okay Jah Youth" I said
"Naw but I just got out a bad relationship with a girl I cared about a lot, but everybody acting like I'm the bad guy, like I don't have feelings too." He said kind of in a daze
"Thank you for sharing that with me Jah" I said softly patting his leg.
He smiled big again "I find myself trusting you Ms. Janelle, so don't you tell a soul" he said still with a sweet smile present.
"I won't, I would never have a reason to Mr. Jah. Only if you never to spill my beans" I said back
"I won't , I would never have a reason to Ms. Janelle" he said back as we engaged in a conversation I would never forget.
