mindless stepbrother status?

5. say yes?

I went home with a sore hand. I had to let Ray drive us.

"Nice job, YN."

I rolled my eyes. "She's been getting on my nerves since yesterday!"

"She mad!"

"About what?" I asked. "I just met her!"

"I broke up with her last Saturday and she mad that we're partners and that we rode to school together and stuff like that."

"Ohhhh! Well, I came after she did! & it's wrong for her to assume! Assuming got her ass punched!"

"Calm down, YN."

"I'm trying." We pulled up to the house and I got some ice for my now throbbing hand.

"What happened to your hand, chica?" My mother asked.

"I punched Ray's ex-girlfriend Mia today." I said shrugging it off.

"MI AMOR! You can't just go around punching people!"

"Madre! She tempted me! She got in my face. You know how much I hate that!"

"Did you get in trouble with the teacher?" She asked.

"Nope." I replied grabbing a water and returning to the left wing. Ray was just on the couch. Chillin.

"We gotta finish this dance by Friday. So we can start the musical theatre one on Monday." He said standing up and putting the cd on.

"Huh? I thought we had a month for this?"

"Why you wasn't listenin YN?" He said. "We have 6 weeks and each week is a different dance style. This week was modern, next week is musical theatre, 3 was hip hop, 4 was Jazz, 5 was Contemporary, 6 was your choice -we pickin hip hop again right?" I nodded yes. "And 7, is the performance week!"

OMG. This is too much for an elective. But, if he and Mia can do it, so can I. "I'm down. For musical theatre, we should do 'The Wiz'. I could be Dorothy and you could be the Scarecrow!"

"Ease on down the road!" He said and laughed. "I like it."

"Me too!"

"Let's finish up 'One Night Stand'."

"Tell me how it feels, when your man don't please you right.

And tell me how it feels, after I take you on this ride.

Oooo I got the remedy girl.

I'll be your fantasy

Girl, Imma kiss from your head to your feet yeah

Satisfaction guaranteed. Woahhhh

Girl I didn't come to tease ya.

I just want to please ya.

Hope you like it"

Since the beginning was sharp we made the middle and end loose and sway like. This verse was also together like dancing on each other. LAWD!

"Ok, so like this?" I did a combination of moves.

"Yes! Nice. Uhhhhh what are we wearing for this?" He asked.

"Well I was thinking black. This is a sensual song and black is a sensual color right?" He nodded. "I'm wearing black harem pants. And a black wife beater and ima probably wear my black doc martens."

"I guess I'll wear all black then. And black goggles!"

"Why? We ain't goin swimmin!" I said so confused on why he would wear goggles and we ain't even gon be close to a pool!

"Cuz I can. And you know you think it's sexy."

"I don't."

"That's not what your Journal entry said today in class." He said taunting me. "Aren't we supposed to be talking about that?"

"Ughhhhhh!" I forgot about that! "What about it?"

"How you like me an stuff!" He said with sweet eyes.

"Okayyyyyy. Andddddddd."

"Be my girlfriend."

"We cant! We are like related!"

"Through marriage! We ain't blood! YN, I promise we can make this work." What do I do? What do I say? "I mean, it's not like we haven't done it already, so I'm not just after you for sex."

That made some sense. Mi madre always said boys only wanted sex. But, if we already did, did that mean he wanted me for love? I need to think. "Let me think about it please." He face dropped. "I'll tell you in about 20 minutes." I ran to my room and texted Amira.

[toocute] he just asked me to be his girlfriend.

[amirabae] say YES '

[toocute] im scared!

[amirabae] ugh ' getcho mane ! didnt I tell you dis earlier ? don't you like him ?

[toocute] i do like him! i jus dont know about what other people will say.

[amirabae] eff ' otha people && do you !

[toocute] aight. ima do it.

I walked back in the room and he was on the couch on his phone. He looked up as soon as I walked in. "Well," he said.

"Well what?" I said teasing him.

He gave me the -___- face. "Will you be my girlfriend?"

"YES!"

"It's okay, I knew that- wait, you said YES?"

"Yep!" He ran to me and kissed me on the cheek.

He sighed with a big ole grin on his face. This is life
