21

21/Ch. 1

3 more fucking days! I'm so tired of being treated like a child. My mom won't even let me stay in the house overnight by myself because she thinks I'd invite Rakim over and make a mistake.

"Ma! I'm going out!" I yelled as I grabbed her car keys and was walking towards the door.

"Hold on! Where are you going?"

I rolled my eyes and walked to her bedroom.

"With Rakim!" (Boyfriend)

"Who are you yelling at? Better lower your voice! While you going out, take D (brother) out to eat."

"I'm not coming right back home, though!"

"What did I just tell you?"

"I can't! Get Samone (sister) to do it!"

"Either you bring him or you're staying here."

"You're paying for his food?"

"Yeah. Give me my purse."

I reached over to get her purse off her dresser. Fat ass can't do shit. She handed me $25.

"Bring me my change back."

"You might not even have change left."

"Girl, get out my room."

I waited until D was ready and we left in my car.

"Elle--"

"Shut up! I really don't even want you to talk to me. Change the radio if you want, just shut the hell up!"

We were quiet the whole way to Chili's. Rakim knows that D is coming, so we're planning on giving that 15 year-old his OWN table while we spend our date night as planned.
........

"Hey, Bae."

He pulled me into a hug while I kissed his sweet lips. 4 years and I STILL love this boy the same way, if not more.

"'Sup, D."

"Hey."

D has the same stupid look he has when he's in trouble, been yelled at, etc.

"What did you do to him?"

"Nothing. I just didn't want to bring him."

We walked inside the restaurant and was escorted to our reserved seats. D sat at his own table beside Rakim and my booth. I helped him order before I placed my order with my babe.

"How was school?" He casually asked.

"What kind of question is that? School is boring and tiring and these exams are getting to my ass."

He pulled me tightly and closely to him. He moved my long, natural hair out the way to put his head in the crook of my neck and whispered, "Who're you getting loud with?"

The only thing I could do is laugh. I LOVE when he acts like this. Sexy and stuff. We never had sex together before, though. I'm a virgin, but he's not.

"Nobody. Hahahaha. How was work?"

"Horrible."

"Why?"

"Yo retarded ass been on my mind all day."

"Awwww. Too bad I don't care. Corny ass."

The waiter came and delivered our food.

"I wanna take you out somewhere on your birthday."

"Where?"

"To the basketball game."

"In Atlanta?"

"Yeah."

"I really don't care because of the basketball part, but yeah. I'll FINALLY be 21, fully legal."

"Yeah. I have a surprise when we get there, too."

"But I don't wanna go."

"Huh?"

"I never said I wanted to go."

"You sure you don't want to?"

"I was joking. Yeah, I wanna go!"

"Alright. We leaving as soon as you finish your exams Friday."

I swallowed my food and kissed his jaw because his mouth looks greasy from the food.
*******

I'm finally home. After we left Chili's, we went to the movies to see Scary Movie 5. Funniest shit. Right now, I'm soaked in a bubble bath with only candles as my lights. I have to study as soon as I get out. I slowly rose from the warm, inviting water to the clean, heated air. I covered myself with a towel and power walked to my room after blowing out the candles. I dried myself off and nakedly covered with my covers as I got ready for this late night study session.
