Chapter 2: Unspoken

                                  "Dee, we going out or what? If not let's go to Walmart so I can stock up on some snacks. We could buy some movies too. You sleeping over?" I asked as I looked in her eyes.

                                   "Yea let's go out. Andre said he is going to meet us at that back to school party. We can grab more snacks tomorrow. And I'm sleeping at Andre's tonight." 

                        "Alright cool. Where's the party?"

                                   "It's on the North Side."

                                   "Let's hope there's no problems then Dee." I said rolling my eyes.

                                   "It'll be all good, don't worry boo." She said trying to be more convincing than usual.

                                   Dee was asking me about her outfit and if she could use her favorite pair of shoes of mine. I agreed, while applying mascara. I was already dressed and ready to go. We usually take the same amount of time trying to hunt down the perfect outfit for the night, but i didn't have anyone to impress. I was never fond of the North Side.

                                   As we got in the car and got situated, Dee grabbed our favorite CD out of the glove box. The North Side was only ten minutes away, but we took the long way, singing all the way there. When we arrived I parked around the corner from the house where the party was being held. Davine called Andre telling him to meet us by Pine street. He pulled up parking his car behind mine and opened Davine's door. While i was gathering my purse and applying my lip gloss, he then also opened my door and said, "Shall we all walk in together?" I tagged onto Davine's arm and we all walked to the house and through the threshold.   

                                  Andre went to get us some drinks and we made our way around the house scoping out the people. Andre knew almost half the house, meaning he was their seller. Twenty-one, muscular and dark skinned, he was the known drug dealer around. Selling mainly any drug you could ask for. After a while Davine and I got in a few drinks and socialized with the only person we knew there. Jamie. She was also a senior she, transferred to our school during second semester. Light brown eyes and a complexion to match. Bright smile and a curvy body to complete her, you'd never assume she'd be so devious. As soon as she arrived to our school, rumors filled the halls like never before.          

                                 "Hey y'all." Jamie said nervously. She looked from me to Davine and then at Andre. The look she gave Andre made it seem as if she already seen him before now. Davine then gave Jamie a rude look. "I'm going to get a drink." Jamie looked down and said walking away. Dee then stopped her.

                                 "What do you think that was about Dee?" I asked looking into the soul of Jamie's eyes, waiting for her to explain.

                                 Dee rolled her eyes turning to look Andre in the face as he approached us. "Probably just one of his whores I'd assume." I could tell she was kind of angry at first but now she was just trying to go along with the act. Dee would never comment about him or anyone of her other boyfriends having whores. She could honestly care less.

                                "Umm, nah that's my dad's ex girlfriend's daughter. Also my client." He said rubbing the back of his head looking confused. "We slept together once though, before we knew our parents dated. After that it was nothing except drugs."

                               Davine smiled at me and we laughed like idiots. Andre just stood there confused once again. We really didn't know what we were laughing at, that's just how we are. After a few minutes we stopped laughing and headed toward the back door. We set our drinks down on the table and unbuttoned our pants, following that we ripped off our shirts. Hand in hand we jumped into the deep end holding our breathe closing our eyes. The other party goers that were out there screamed woohoo and laughed. As we reached the surface we gasped for air and wiped water from our eyes. We got out the pool draped in water, got our drinks and slipped into the shallow end to sit on the step. 

                            Vicious grey eyes, dark chocolate skin and dark charcoal hair that curled. He approached us. As he bent down into a squatting stance his muscles flexed. He looked like he was ripped underneath his loose shirt. "Hello ladies."  He said showing his teeth with a big smile. "My name is Illijah. What's your name love?"

                           Davine looked at me smiling, with approving eyes to flirt back. "My name is Fai. Do I know you?" I wasn't one to give a smile and flirt back. Davine looked at me, giving me the eye. She was trying to communicate with eyes, and that was code for, stop being a bitch. She should've known it was coming.

                           "No, I'm certain you don't know me but you can get to know me. Anything you want to know." Illijah said pouring his eyes into mine. It's like his eyes were compelling me to not look away. I stared into his eyes curious about his intentions of speaking with me.

                          "Would you answer everything I'm curious about honestly and answer any question I want to know? Even the personal questions? Because if not I don't want to know anything else beside what I already know. Your first name ."

                           He looked and smiled. "That conversation should be held when it's only me and you sweetheart. I can't have the whole world knowing my personal business." Illijah reached for his phone from his back pocket and then asked, "May I have your number sweetheart?" A boy with manners, I guess he did earn my number.

                           After calling out my number really quickly, Illijah gave me a look and smiled while walking away. Gosh I was a sucker for smiles and his smile was the sexiest smile I had ever examined. 

                          "Fai! OH MY GOD! He was fucking hot as hell, I swear he almost burned me!" Dee said laughing ridiculously.

                           "I know he was! Do you think I was too much of a bitch?" I said concerned.

                           "No! You were pretty good this time I was hoping you didn't screw it up with your bitchy ways. I think he liked it though." She gave me a smirk and we got out of the pool.

                           Wrinkled toes and fingers we grabbed a towel from a nearby shelf, dried off and reapplied our clothes. Dee found Andre and they walked me to my car before heading to his. Riding alone wasn't the same as riding with Dee but I managed. 

                           I didn't want to go home until it was late enough everyone in the house would be sleep. I knew since it was the weekend dad had went to the bar and snatched up a whore to bring to bed. Still don't understand how that man hasn't contracted aids, or some shit. I decided to drive to the farther Walmart. No one else was on the interstate, except a few other cars. I was getting tired so I rubbed the volume nob to the right, raising the volume. After getting off the interstate I drove down this street that looked like it had no end. Then I seen the first street light for miles. I pulled over to check the GPS to figure out where I was at. Suddenly it was blank.
