A Brothers Eyes

8. Graduate

Today was he big day. I was finally graduating the hell hole called high school. I'd managed to receive a full scholarship to CAU which wasn't too far from home . I decided to hold off on band and focus on my major , English . The Georgia Dome was filled to capacity , I awaited the moment when my name would be called so I could end his chapter in my life and finally start over. My Phone vibrated Removing me from my deep thoughts.

Amina's Graduation Party was full of family and close friends and some we never really got the chance to know. 

Amina's mother really showed up , the party was decked out with food galore , pizza , all flavors of wings, burgers , Philly cheesesteaks, macaroni and cheese, baked beans , ribs, barbecue chicken, fried chicken, cornbread, collard greens, peach cobbler, a huge cheesecake and homemade ice cream.

"This macaroni is too good Mrs. Jones."
"Girl, I didn't make that , my husband did" she glanced over and at Mr. Jones. It was obvious she was a happy woman. They were still in love after all this time. Amina made a face of disgust. 

"Speaking of love , here comes your man" 
"Jesus is My Man" I Said I was really considering getting a second plate.
"No Jesus sent you a man" Amina's pettiness was at an all time high.
I Looked up to see Dre Walking in with Jay and Jarrett. He Had on all black , black fitted pants , black crisp t- shirt, A Gold Nixon Watch and He wore black SnapBack backwards. I never noticed his muscular frame or his clear as day brown skin. He smiled my way and I nodded. We haven't talked much since that day on my porch and honestly I didn't have much to say. He seemed confusing one day we're kissing on his couch , the next day we're disagreeing on my porch. He Pulled a chair up to our table and placed two gift bags on the table.
"Congratulations Amina!" He handed both bags to Amina.
"Aww thank you , you didn't get yo boo anything?"
"She'll get her gifts later" he said making eye contact with me. I continued to push food around my plate refusing to make eye contact.

"Ma, What's Good?" He whispered in my ear .
I looked up but not in his direction .
"I'm Chilling." He smirked at me showing those sexy dimples I hated to love. He was laughing like I said something.
"Mina, let me borrow your girl for a second."
"Sureeeee" she said giving me an eye. For the first time I actually looked at him.
"Do I have a say in if I want to go"
"You have a say , but not a choice now come on" he said taking my hand and helping me up.
"Where we going" he was already walking ahead of me. He walked like he owned the place he had that whole macho man thing going on. A part of me hates him for his arrogance while another part of me was turned on by it. he looked back at me making sure I was behind him while he dapped a few people on the way out.
He walked up to his charger and unlocked my side.
"Get in." Last time I got his car I didn't get home until late that evening. I wanted another plate before I left. I decided not to be difficult seeing that he had a serious look on his face. I got in hoping this wouldn't take long.

We arrived at his condo and I couldn't help wondering why I was here instead of Mina's . It wasn't until I opened his door that I realized why he had so many bags in his living room. A Victoria secret goodie bag, clothes and shoes he even had a goodie bag with candy and chips in it. I was surprised he did all of this.
"What is this for ?"
"You graduated today and I know you were stressed and I honestly apologize for coming at you the way I did. I was feeling you and I felt like I was being played for a second . That one was on me" he patted his chest . "We good?"
"How could we not be , an apology would have sufficed, why couldn't you bring this to the party instead of making me come here " I said going through the bags.
"Because I wanted you to myself , plus I'm not the flashy type." He said smiling my way.
"Mhmm so what now?"
he walked up to me, wrapping his arms around my waist he pecked me on my lips. Once. Twice and a third time . He kissed me deeply the fourth time , he held the back of my head and he took his time kissing me like he missed me. I groaned against his lips and he smirked against mine. He used both hands to grab my ass and pulled me close to him.
"I don't really know what you got going on but I hope I'm making myself clear here , I'm feeling yo' little mean ass"
"I'm feeling your mean ass too"
