Lucky Number Seven

Gabriel 77

As I sat in the movies with Derrick, Tyson, and Fabian, I couldn't shake the fact that I was being watched. I remember those two dudes and the more I thought about it, the more I started to believe that it was Izayah and Iran. I was so deep in thought that I didn't realize that Derrick had put his arm around me until he pull me close to his chest and put his head on mine. I don't know why but I started feeling really uncomfortable, in fact I had been ever since Derrick told me he knew Fabian. I brushed it off at first but the more I thought about it I started wondering how they had met, I pulled slightly away from Derrick and he smacked his teeth but didn't say anything. I started watching the movie when I got I text and saw it was from Izayah.

ZAY: WAT U DOIN?

I started to panic maybe he had saw us I decided to play dumb, maybe he didn't see us.

ME: HUH?

ZAY: NIGGA WAT R U DOIN AT THIS EXACT MOMENT

ME: NOTHIN Y WATS UP?

ZAY: OH NOTHIN I JUST WANTED TO SEE IF U WANTED TO CHILL LATER.

ME: I WOULD BUT ME AND 7 HAVE PLANS.

Izayah didn't text back, and I started to relax a little. Derrick put his arm around me again, and I rolled my eyes this dude was persistent. After the movies we decided to go get some food, not none of the nasty ass mall food real food, since Derrick and Fabian rode together and me and Tyson drove we decided to leave my car and I rode with Derrick and Fabian rode with Tyson. For most of the ride Derrick was silent. Which was weird because usually he has something smart to say.

"So what did you think of the movie?" I asked, because I was tired of sitting in silence.

"It was cool, but what you got planned with that nigga Seven later?" Derrick asked, I could tell he was jealous and I smiled.

"Were probably going to go play miniature golf or something, then go get something to eat. Why? I can't hang out with Seven." I said.

"How could you still be cool with that nigga Gab? This is the same nigga that showed up to your house and told you and I quote 'Gab I love Tyson, and all me and you could ever be is friends'. And then on top of that your sitting here hanging out with his boyfriend, I mean when did ya'll become such good friends?"

"Look Derrick I decided that I couldn't keep hating Tyson just because we loved the same person. So I decided to be nice and I found out that we have a lot in common...."

"Like Seven?" Derrick said.

"Derrick what is the problem you have with Seven? I mean you have been hating on him since I met you. And since we're talking about how people became friends how did you and Fabian meet?" Derrick started to look nervous.

"Let's just say me and Fabian have a lot in common. Now you wanted to know why I don't like that nigga Seven find then I'll tell you. From the moment I met you I knew I wanted to be with you, so I made you my dude. We was good, but when you would talk about that nigga Seven, you had so much passion in your voice. I knew you had feelings for that nigga, and it ate me up. So yeah I was slightly jealous of that nigga, but it was only because I love you. No matter how much I try not to it won't go away." Derrick said grabbing my hand, I wanted to pull away but at the same time I didn't. Before I could reply my phone went off. I looked and saw that it was Seven.

"What's up." I said.

"Nothing, just woke up. Ay I just wanted to know if Zay could come with us tonight?"

"Sure I mean it's not like it's a date." I said quietly.

"Aight coo I'll call you later." Seven said hanging up. I looked at Derrick who looked pissed, but beneath all that I could see he was slightly sad. We pulled up beside Tyson and Fabian and they looked like they had been arguing too. We got out and Derrick pulled me to the side.

"Look Gabriel, I'm sorry I keep pushing you away but I can't stand you being with any other nigga." Once again he grabbed my hand and pulled me close. "Gabriel I love you and I want to give us another shot." Derrick said looking me in my eyes. I could respond I felt............. I don't know how I felt . Derrick gently grabbed my face and pulled it close to his. Our lips connected and I felt myself get weak. Maybe I should give us another shot.

"Derrick please." I said pulling away. "Just give me time to get my head straight then I'll give you an answer." I said.

"That's all I'm asking for." Derrick said grabbing my hand and walking into the restaurant.
