Melanin Beauty

chapter 24

I looked down at my nails as I waited for Danny. Maybe I should get them done...

I was planning on visiting my aunt Viv after school.

When he finally came out he glanced around the schools parking lot and came up to me.

" can you come over." He asked me.

I shook my head. "Not right now but I'll be over later if thats not to late." I told him.

He smirked. " its never to late for you." He told me.

I smiled. " where you finna' go" he questioned.

" to my Aunt."

" tell her I said hey."

I nodded. Grabbing my waist he pulled me into a hug.

" see you soon nena" he said.

" whose nena?" I questioned.

" you, my 'baby.'" He told me. " its Spanish." He said.

I raised an eyebrow. " you never told me you spoke Spanish." I smiled hard showing some teeth.

He laughed " you never asked and I thought you knew." He said.

I shrugged my shoulders. " no I never heard you say it before or talk it."

He shrugged. " now you know...how was your day..." He asked me.

I shrugged. " it was okay what about yours." I asked him.

" it was alright."

"Good I'll see you soon." I smiled as I pecked his lips and opened my car door.

He grabbed my butt and squeezed it as I slapped him on the chest.

He laughed. " see you soon."

I knocked on my Aunts door as I waited patiently for her to answer.

"I'm coming!" She shouted she soon opened the door. And we shared a quick hug.

" you here... already, your first day of school most have not been pleasant?" She asked stepping aside to let me in.

" well geez aunt Viv its nice to see you too." I joked. " I came because i haven't been seeing you later and Danny said hey by the way." I sat down on the couch.

She smiled at me. " tell him I said hey to with his red self." She joked.

I chuckled.

" so how was your first day at a public school?" She questioned walking into the kitchen.

" um actually it was okay it wasn't what I expected though I thought it would be more... Dramatic like the movies" I shrugged.

She came back in with two tea cups.

She carefully sat down a few seats from me leaning over and giving me mine.

" thank you." I said.

"Well that's good back in my day my mom had to drag me to school all the way up to tenth grade." She told me.

" really?"

" no not necessarily I hated going to school though."

I sipped from the cup.

" how you been doing." She asked me.

" I'm alright good nothing to exciting about me." I told her which in my eyes it wasn't.

" I'm sure Danny can help you with that." She told me.

I raised an eyebrow. " huh?" I asked.

" not like that Chile.. I'm talking about going places together and enjoying each others presence. But hows your mom, I heard she been thinking about calling off the engagement"
