Devin
I love to see you walk into the room
Body shining lighting up the place
And when you talk, everybody stops
Cause they know you know just what to say
And the way that you protect your friends
Baby, I respect you for that
And when you grow, you take everyone you love along
I love that shit
Don't fly me away
Don't need to buy a diamond key to unlock my heart
You shelter my soul
You're my fire when I'm cold
I want you to know
You had me at hello..
"Oh my,", my breath hitched as he walked into the room. The clothing he had chosen was so simple, being a plain grey T-shirt and a pair of basketball shorts, but my heart still managed to skip a beat at the sight of him. The first thing I noticed was the bright smile he wore on his face as took a seat on the couch next to his friends, D'Angelo and Kelly. It was somewhat contagious, bringing a small smile to my face.
My best friend, Desiree, had met D'Angelo a few months ago, taking interest in the baller. Clearly he was interested in her as well, inviting her to every single rookie and nba event as his plus one. They had began hanging out..like a lot.
I had third wheeled with them a few times, but not by choice, she dragged me along. She claimed that it was the only way she could spend time with her two favorite people in the world, but it was absolutely torcher to me.
Sometimes, he'd invite Kelly so I would have a little bit of company, but for some reason we don't get a long that well. Maybe it was his constant smart remarks, or the stupid smirk that he always wore on his face when he told a wack joke that he swears to God is the funniest thing he's ever told in his life. Gosh, I can't stand him.
But today, we had decided to hang out at Lo's house. Him and Kelly were on the couch, playing an intense game of NBA 2k15.
Desiree sat on the island of the kitchen, and I leaned against it.
"What's wrong?", she asked pushing a small piece of her hair behind her ear. I struggled to speak, pointing in the direction of the beautiful stranger.
She glanced his way, smirking.
"Ohh..", she chuckled.
"That's Devin."
"He's beautiful,", I sighed, biting my bottom lip.
She raised an eyebrow,
"You into lightbright?".
Blushing, I nodded my head, staring at my feet.
"You want me to call him over here?", my head shot up quickly. Is she crazy? If anything, she should know that I struggle in the 'communicating with boys' area. I just can't..
"What? No!", I whispered loudly, slapping her thigh.
She shushed me before yelling,
"Yo, LightBright!"
He had turned around, facing us before playfully rolling his eyes. He stood from the couch, and I became nervous within seconds. He licked his lips and shoved his hands in his pocket
"Wassup," I couldn't even believe the voice that emerged from his throat. That baby face and his voice were some type of deadly combination.
"How you been, Dev? I haven't seen you since I kicked your ass in that game of one on one."
He chuckled," I wasn't ready that day. I was still suffering from a little bit of jetlag, but I'm ready now."
She shook her head," Nah, you ain't ready for this work boy!"
As a giggle escaped from my lips, Devin looked at me, his lips spreading into a small smile.
"And who is the beautiful young lady?"
I opened my mouth to speak, but motor mouth Desiree beat me to it.
"This is my beautiful, very single, amazing best friend, Y/n."
Before I could even glance her way in an attempt to burn her skin with my glare, she had hopped of the counter, joining Lo and Kels on the couch. Which left Devin and I alone.
"Hi..", I whispered. My voice is currently betraying me. As confident as I want to sound, clearly the presence of this man is stopping me from succeeding in that.
I hadn't even known this guy for more than five minutes and his smile, his laugh, his voice, his everything had me melting on the inside. How was he doing this to me?
"Hello,", he smiled. And as soon as he said that, I knew he had my heart.
