Temptation Beyond The Soul

#4

Lisa

Ti and I stepped out of line and sipped on our slushies. Hers blue, and mine green of course,

We sat at a booth in the back. The sun shining on our light golden skin.

"So, li. You got any sisters or brothers." I nodded my head

"Well actually, my sister died a few years back in a fire. It's been me and my dad since then. What about you?"

Tionne shrugged her shoulders and leaned back in her chair.

"Well I never knew my dad. He wasn't really in my life. I live with my mom. Who's literally struggling to keep food on the table and a roof on our head. So when I graduate, ima be a dancer. She gon have a big ass house, with a pool in he back yard. A Porsche, She won't be working another day in her life."

I nodded my head, debating on whether I should tell her my story,

I slowly took a deep breath and closed my eyes, then slowly opened my eye lids and exhaled.

"When I was six, my mom died. She was on drugs, drank liquor. But you would never know that she did. She never had any outbreaks or anything. My mom loved us with every bit of her heart. I'm just like her, stubborn, aggressive, quick tempered. But that's what makes me, me."

Tionne smiled and sipped her slush, then started laughing.

"Lisa lopes is over here getting emotional. Somebodies Turing you into a damn old softy." I laughed and rolled my eyes.

"Shut the fuck up Ti." Tionne laughed and we left.

"Where you wanna go Lisa?" I shrugged my shoulders. Honestly I didn't want to go home.

I wanted to talk to Tionne about everything. Just so I wouldn't take it out in aggression. But I didn't.

"I'll go home. I'll talk to you tomorrow Ti." She walked off and waved at me from a distance.

I began to walk down the side walk. Thinking.

I feel something, something different. I keep having this dream.

A dream where, I'm on top. Not sexually, but where I'm in control. But I feel like Tupac is the reason.

Why do I feel a sudden urge, to need him? Like my heart is yearning for him. Maybe is it because of what we could've been?

But I'm scared to let him lo- i mean be with me. That L word is the most powerful thing in the world.

You could be in it, but the other person not. Or you could be so delusional that you drive yourself into it.

And nobody wants that. It could drive you into insanity.

I cleared the thoughts out my head and unlocked my door. I walked in seeing my dad fixing the sink, which has been broken for a few days.

He looked over at me and stopped what he was doing an have me a hug and smiled.

  "Hey Lisa." He kissed my forehead and I playfully wiped it off.

  "Hey dad." I sat my stuff down on the couch and went in the kitchen for something to eat.

  I searched through the refrigerator and grabbed a piece of leftover pizza.

  "Where were you? You came home a little late. Did you have detention again?" I rolled my eyes and sat on the counter while placing the pizza in the microwave oven.

  "I was out with my friend Tionne." He looked at me for a long while, then went back to fixing the sink.

  "Oh."

  I took my pizza out and grabbed my slushie and went upstairs into my room. I kicked the door closed and sat down, while watching Good Times on the little TV.

  I stuffed my mouth with the pizza, and chewed it. Laughing every now and then at JJ.

I heard a little knock at my door and turned my tv down and sat my pizza and slushie on my dresser.

I opened it and leaned on the side of the door frame.

"I'm sorry about that thing downstairs Li. It's just that, you don't normally-"

I cut him off annoyingly.

"I know dad. It's okay, you didn't know."

He smiled and nodded his head.

"I'm gonna go finish working on the sink alright?"

  I nodded my head and closed the door.
