Anything Could Happen

Ch. 30- The Story

Brandon's Point of View.............................

I'm actually happy that me and Keesha got back together. She's like a dream to me. I can't wait to knock on her door with Xavier by my side. Yes, we are walking to school. It's only for today. Keesha gave me a call last night and asked me... I wouldn't turn her down.

"Bro.. Just wait out here until they come out. K?" I asked Xavier while walking up her front steps. I felt kinda awkward. Not awkward... but nervous... It felt unreal to me. That we were... dating... I guess?

I let out a huge sigh and as I was reaching towards the door with my right fist balled up, my annoying brother had to interrupt my moment like he always does. 

"Brandon! Are you knocking or not? Come on, dude. I wanna meet my girl." 

"K! Calm ur ass down." I blurted out and the only thing I could here now was the sound of my hard knocking on her door. I waited a few minutes guessing she wasn't ready... but then the door swung open. 

Right in front of me was an amazing girl who looked like a god my cheeks felt warm. I'm guessing I was.... blushing? Oh, god...

"Hey, ready?" Keesha asked me. Her voice sounded so sweet. 

I zoned out. Her beauty was just... just... Gorgeous! I don't know how long my lights blinked out for, but I knew it was past a breath-taking minute.

A finger snapped in my face, causing me to break into reality. It was her. My girlfriend. 

I stuttered and choked on my words. Why was I so nervous? 

Keesha turned around and locked the door while fiddling with her keys. She turned around and grabbed me by the hand and our fingers locked into each other's. 

I gave out a little smirk as we walked down her steps being followed by the 2 little ones in the back. 

We just chatted for a little while. Nothing special, really. But I did enjoy it. Then a subject came up that I didn't want to talk about. The date. Not just any date. Our date.

"Umm... so... Do you... by any chance... know what exactly... happened on our... date? She questioned. She stopped with every word making sure it would come out right. Keesha was a skeptical girl. As soon as I got to know her from the beginning, it hit me. Skeptical. She's always curious. And I love her just the way she is.

I didn't know how to answer her question. She was hot on my case. Like I said.... Skeptical.

I furrowed my eyebrows for her response.

"Well," I cleared my throat. "I know what you saw and how you felt. I didn't mean to hurt you, Keesha," She stopped walking. And I stopped too. She snatched her hand away from mine... way too quickly. By looking at her face, I knew she didn't have the nerve to look me in the eye. She looked at the ground. 

"Keesha? Are.. Are... Are you... okay?" I shouldn't have asked that. I really shouldn't have. I knew it was a bad question. I didn't know what else to do. So, I lifted up her chin with one hand and held her hand in the other. 

Finally, our eyes met. Standing on a sidewalk, I felt the need to comfort her. It was my fault. But to prove I wasn't guilty, I needed for her to know the whole damn story.

"What did happen? Can you explain everything to me? From... the beginning?" Keesha asked me with a worried and scared look. She didn't want to know, but she wanted to finish the story. Her voice was all cracky and it sounded nothing like her greeting in the morning about 10 minutes ago. I slowly moved my hand away from her chin. 

"Umm. Well, you see... there comes a time where 1 guy and a 1 girl start to date.. that leads to-" I got cut off by her chuckling. That's what I wanted to hear. 

"I'm serious, Brandon!" She giggled. We started walking again and I explained the story. This is how it went....

I was waiting for Keesha to come back from Allyssa's searching. It took quite a while though. And out of the blue, Mackenzie and Brooke showed up about 30-40 minutes after you guys left. She told me where Allyssa was. Mackenzie set Allyssa and her boyfriend, Dustin up because it was her plan. She knew you would go and search for Ally and she only did that so she could have some alone time with me. But, Dustin is... Mackenzie's Cousin. And I thought Mackenzie was Keesha, because she was wearing the same exact dress and makeup as you. And we chatted and I told her it wasn't right. But then when you walked in crying .... Mackenzie kissed me to add some taste to your sadness and Brooke, being her annoying, yet petite self flashed her camera by taking pictures. And the reason I didn't come to school yesterday is because I got a text from Mackenzie early in the morning with the pictures of me and her kissing with you screaming and crying at the date. Mackenzie was black-mailing me with them. She texted me saying if I go near you at all... she'll post these pictures to the school's newspaper since she does manage it, obviously. And I thought the best thing for me to do is not to even go to school at all. 

We stopped walking after I finished up the story. 

She leaned in closer and closer into me that we were so close I could feel her warm breath. Soon, our lips mashed together as we were in front of the school. It was long-lasting, yet amusing. We disconnected and she bit her lip while I gave her a toothy grin along with a smirk.

The last thing I heard her say before she let go of me and walked away was... "Thank you..." Her voice trailed off after that. I could feel my cheeks heating up. 

"Hey! Wait up!" I called after her with the most amusement I've ever had.  Next thing you know.. I'm running after my girl! God... I love her! ;)
