The Bet (Revising)

Chapter 18: Can I Talk to You?

-Chloe POV-

Dalvin and I are heading back to my place finally, after driving around for a half hour.

"So what's with the long drive" I finally asked looking at him.

"Nothing just wanted to take you for a spin" he said smiling at me.

"Hm this boy is too fine but what are we gonna do at my place" I thought looking out the window.

"My little brother Messiah might be home" I told Dalvin as he pulled up to my house.

"That's cool" he said turning the engine off.

I grabbed my back pack as we got out of his car; I walked around to the driver's side so we could cross the street. As were walking onto the side walk I tripped and Dalvin caught me laughing a little.

"You good" he asked letting go of me and I nodded to embarrassed to talk.

"Nice going Cole" I thought shaking my head as we walked up the stairs to my house.

I took my keys out of my back pack unlocking the front door. I pushed the door open walking and Dalvin came in behind me. He closed the door and I heard Messiah coming down the stairs.

"Yo Chloe make me something to eat" he said reaching the bottom of the stairs.

"Excuse me little boy" I said.

By now Dalvin was sitting on the couch and I put my bag down locking the door.

"Make. Me. Some. Food." Messiah said as if I was slow and he came and sat down on the couch with Dalvin.

"Who this fool" Messiah asked looking Dalvin up and down. Dalvin looked at me and started laughing.

"Messiah go upstairs and I'll call you when your food is ready" I said annoyed.

"Aight peace" he said getting up and going upstairs.

"I'm so sorry he's never like that" I said embarrassed yet again while taking my seat next to Dalvin.

"Don't even sweat it, so wassup" he asked putting his elbows on his lap and chin on his palms.

"Wassup with you, what you wanna do" I asked.

-Dalvin POV-

"What she asked made the bet came to my mind, I mean she not gonna give it up that easy. Messiah a mess though that little boy bad" I thought.

"I don't know you can still tutor me" I said smiling at her and she rolled her eyes.

"We both know you don't need tutoring Dalvin" Chloe said.

"Aight let's do some homework then" I suggested.

"Let's do Mr,Rogers first" she said pulling out some books.

"I just wanna get this bet over with but patience is key" I thought while getting my stuff.

"Aight which problem you wanna star with" I asked.

"Um number nine, shit look mad complicated" she said and I laughed a little.

"What" she asked looking at me and I started shaking my head.

"No its something and I wanna know" she said dropping her pencil.

"I think I got the answer" I said ignoring her.

I saw her roll her eyes and pick up her pencil again. After 20 minutes of math homework my head was hurting.

"I don't understand why he be giving so much homework" I said sitting back on the couch and throwing my head back.

"Me either he be buggin' acting like he don't have a life or something" she said and we both laughed.

"What ever happened to my food" I heard someone ask and I opened my eyes to see Messiah.

"Go in the kitchen and make yourself some cereal" Chloe said and Messiah shrugged walking into the kitchen.

"I'm bored so what you wanna do" Chloe asked again.

I checked my watch- 4:00 and then back at her.

"I need to bounce but you wanna hang tomorrow" I asked while packing my stuff up.

"Sure but after rehearsal and let's not do homework" she said laughing a little and I did too.

"Aight, I'm down with that" I said standing up.

She walked me to the door and I turned around hugging her. She smell good and I wanted to hold her a little longer.

"See you tomorrow" she said.

"Tomorrow" I said walking down the stairs.

I walked over to my car unlocking the door and throwing my shit in. I started the car and looked back at the house. Chloe waved at me and I waved back before pulling off.
