Mixed Signals

Chapter Twenty

Dre's p.o.v.

At Lennox mall with my sister, Adrian and my brother Aubrey. We were finishing our rounds about to leave.

"Damn look at her ass" Aubrey said.

"Her hair cute" Adrian added.

"I know her."

"Go speak to her then." Aubrey and Adrian challenged as they both admired Mya. Yes, Ms. M.I.A. I looked at her and the girl that she was with. Her mini me, Nyla. The girl she was with looked up and spotted me staring and tapped Mya. She looked and smiled then came and hugged me. Nyla followed behind looking down at her phone.

"Hey Dre." Mya stated.

"Where my hug at? " Aubrey joked around.

I laughed then pushed Aubrey.

"Nigga sit down"

"The twins? " She asked eyeing them.

"Yup"

"Aubrey and Adrian"

"Hey" Adrian finally looked up from her phone.

"Hey girl. this is my little sister Nyla and I'm Mya."

"Hey yall." Adrian smiled.

I watched as Aubrey sized her up then shook his head side to side.

"What yall about to do?" Mya asked,

"Leave. How have you been Mya?" I asked staring at her. She looked around then back at me.

"Fine. I guess."

"You should come over..?" I suggested to her.

"I have to study tonight. "

"Bring your books. "

She looked at Nyla then at the twins before shaking her head.

"I can't leave Nyla."

"Bring her. She can be with Adrian. "

She looked at Adrian. Adrian looked up from her phone, shaking her head, agreeing with me.

"Well , I guess." Mya finally said.

I smiled

"I'll call you before I leave. Nyla and I have some shopping to do."

"Alright"

"Adrian you wanna join us? "

Nyla asked and Adrian looked at me for confirmation.

"I dont care."

"Here Aubrey take my bags" Adrian said excited by the unexpected invite.

45 mins later. Me and Aubrey were at a red light just cruising the streets.

"I'm saying tho... did you see her ass?"

"Yea Brey damn."

"Yoooo why you tripping?"

"I'm not. Just don't be looking at my girl ass" I said still happy to see her.

"Her sister was stacked too. gottdamn."

"Yea. You a playa." I laughed, shaking my head.

"No I'm not."

"All about ass"

"No, I peeped the waist, the stomach, and the titties"

"But not the face?"

"Yeaaa. Sexy asses"

"When was your last relationship"

"Mmaaann I been single since December. And it's September!!"

"You take your relationships seriously lil bro ?"

"Yes."

I just looked at him before the light turned green.

"I'm so serious."

"That's good. " I said not feeding into that lie.

"That chick must have you throwed"

"Maaaaan that was my first time seeing her in two months. She been M.I.A"

"That's your girlfriend? "

"Hell naw."

"Aw, I was finna say she went ghost on that ass"

"She got a nigga" I said, a little salty.

"Hell naw. You her side nigga?"

"No nigga"

"Then what? "

"We just cool. I want her."

"Oh, word"

2 hours later

Mya sat at the end of my bed reading and taking notes. While I sat at the top of the bed with my hands behind my head flipping through channels.

"Will the sound on the T.v. distract you? "

"Yes, sorry"

She looked up at me and I noticed glasses on her face. I laughed because she looked like a lil nerd.

"Where the glasses come from? "

"What you mean? "

"I didn't know you wore them"

"Only when I study. Other times I wear my contacts"

"I would have never known"

"my contacts are clear"

She said while pushing her glasses back up on her face. I laughed hella hard.

"Dre stop. "

I didn't. I just kept laughing, not to make fun of her but because she was so cute. After a while I calmed down and joined her at the bottom of the bed.

"You look like a teacher "

"Leave me alone"

"Awwwn don't be that way! "

"Dre I'm trying to study"

"Gimme kiss"

"No"

"Please"

"Whyyyyy"

I started rubbing on her back dimples.

"Stop."

"You really want me to? "

"Dre I can't . I have to study."

"A kiss is only a second."

"Ok. One quick kiss"

I put my lips on hers and it was over. She pushed her book on the floor. Snatched her glasses off and rolled over on top of me. She stopped, breathing hard.

"We need to stop"

"Why baby. Stop fighting it. "

"I'm not"

"Ok then relax"
