Us and Them (Sequel: Bruno Mars Fan Fic)

Chapter 6

I don't like having bad thoughts when it comes to someone breaking into my home. I have worked hard to live in a gated community and you don't want to think the worst when only certain people are allowed inside this community. The echoing of my doorbell that repeated as soon as the sounds begin to fade in my ear canals, there is another ring to follow it as it fades again into my house. Geronimo runs towards the front door to check, but the designs and cloudiness of the thick glass around my door makes it harder for anyone to see my face, just not enough to hide my existence. The bright lights across the ceiling of my porch shown a small figure through the cloudy window with familiar features. The butcher knife I held tight in my grasp clinks against my breakfast counter top as I walk towards the door before reaching for the gold door handle.

"Get the fuck off of my doorbell!" I yell irritatingly at the sounds repeating in the back of my head.

"That wasn't the hello I was looking for." Elizah said pushing me aside and walking into my house while she stood tall and looked around the front room. "Nice digs. Your lady stays here too?"

I scoff at the audacity this woman has for just walking into my house without permission. "What the hell are you doing here, uninvitingly in my house?" I said closing my door while ignoring the question.

She still looks around the room as she sighs, "I'm bored. Ryan is out of town, Brooklyn is on a movie/dinner date with Tahli and Nick is out horsing around.. I thought I'd come bug you and your woman." Elizah finally turns around to look at me, "Where is she anyway?" She asks before turning back around, taking off her long plum pea coat and walking further into my home.

"How did you get into my gate?" I walk towards the breakfast bar.

She shrugs, "It was left open." Her finger drags along the side of my counter top before stopping at a picture of Jess and I at Disney World. She picks it up and smiles, "Well aren't you two the cutest couple." She rolls her eyes and sighs again like she doesn't have a care in the world, "You know Magoonz, it's not safe to have your gate wide open. Anyone can just waltz right in." She puts the picture down and notices the knife on the counter top. "Did I scare you?"

"You think?" I put on heavy sarcasm. "And just so you know, Jessica is not here, she's out with my sister Tiara. She's probably the one that left the gate open."

"Ooh! Tiara." She smiles, "I remember her. She's funny."

"That's funny that you think Tiara is funny."

Elizah giggles, "You and your family crack me up when you say those things about each other." She picks up the knife and walks towards my kitchen, like she somehow knows where everything is as I follow her. She slides the knife back into its pocket with the rest of my other knifes that I almost never use unless I'm cutting steak. "Okay buddy, we need to do something fun."

"I'm not your buddy, friend." I raise an eyebrow.

She gives a sly smile, "I'm not your friend, guy."

"I'm not your guy, buddy."

We both started cracking up at each other. "You can't say you don't love me." She tried calming her laugh.

I started coughing from the laughter, "I guess you're iight." She smiled at me as I rolled my eyes, "Okay big head, what do you wanna do?"

She cheers as she dug into her purse. To be honest, I'm actually very thrilled that she came over unexpectedly, I didn't like the thought of being alone. "Hey, do you smoke inside or outside?"

I look towards the slider door, "Outside." I point.

We started walking towards the slider door till she started messing with the stupid wall curtains, "What the fuck is this?" She giggles and goes behind the curtain. "You can hide people behind this pointless thing." She laughs as she goes into stealth, "You're a horrible decorator."
