All Because Of You

Chapter 12

"I'm starting to think you're following me," he said. I rolled my eyes. "Or the other way around," I scowled. He chuckled. I removed my hand from his and reached for another thing of shrimp. I walked away to another aisle. I felt his eyes on my backside and mentally smiled.

I grabbed the polish sausages, Jambalaya rice and a few spices to add. I felt like I was being watched and I knew by who. I paid for my items and headed to my car. Just as I was about to shut my door, Jazai popped his head in.

"So you just was gonna leave without giving me your number?" I frowned but then thought about it. "You have been quite persistent I give you that. I guess I can reward you with my number." He gave me a big kool-aid smile. He handed me his phone and I put my number in. "I'll be sure to use it," he said. I closed my door.

As I was driving down the street, my mind wondered back to Jazai. This could get interesting.

Jazai

When she gave me her number, I damn near jumped for joy! I felt like I accomplished something because she was a hard cookie to crack. I hopped in my car and decided to head towards my sister's house.

I parked in her driveway. My sister always enjoyed the finer things in life with her nerdy self. I rang the doorbell. "Just a sec!" I heard her yell. The door opened up. My baby sister was gorgeous. I'd tell her that everyday when we were little. "Brother!" she yelled and gave me a mighty, big hug. "Hey gorgeous," I said. she grabbed my arm and pulled me towards the kitchen. "You want a coca cola?" Now she know I love them. "Stop playing," I said. She giggled and got two out of the the fridge. I cracked mines open immediately. Damn I was addicted to this horrible drink.

"What brings you through here?" she asked. I looked at her while she waited for my response. "You know the girl I was telling you about?" I asked. She nodded. "Well, she done blessed me with her number." I got up and hit the quan. "Boy you silly. I see you happy though. Maybe the cookie is starting to crumble." I took a sip of my coke. "I hope so. You know momma raised us right and that night she came on to me just wasn't right although it felt that way. What's up with you and your boyfriend?" She bit her lip signaling that something wasn't going right.

I don't want to talk about it, okay? I nodded my head. She know she could do way better but that's her. "I'm finna head out. I'll visit again." She walked around the table and have me a hug. "I love you". I kissed her on her forehead. "Love you too pumpkin."
