The {Im}perfection Dare : Day 27 : Follow Up

Dedicated again to DontTrip_Nae, after writing a story for her on 'Day 22: A Stolen Kiss'   I decided to change up my The {Im}perfection Dare and do a follow up, enjoy :)

"Are you serious?"

Tyreeke didn't answer instead he stayed staring at Nae as she held the door moments from slamming it in his face.

"Correct me if I'm wrong but I swear I just asked your punk-arse a question"

In all honesty Nae had no idea why she was even giving the fol any time fo day. After the party Saturday night she had vowed to rid her hands of him and move on with her life. Yet standing in front of him all she could hear was his brother voice echoing around in her head asking her to watch his back when he was gone.

Sighing in spite of herself she opened the door wider, "All right nappy head you've got two minutes" she warned as she led the way to the living room.

Sitting in the arm chair in front of the coffee table, Nae watched as Tyreeke shuffled his way cautiously into the room as though waiting for someone to pounce on him.

"Don't look so shook ain't no one here but the two of us"

Squaring his shoulders Nae could tell he was trying to calm his nerves.

"Don't be tryna act all macho around here" Nae stated as she noticed a change in his composure "I may have let in in but that don't mean I like you right now" she stated "In fact your two minutes is running out real quick so you better hurry up and tell me why I let your sorry excuse of man dwindle his way into my home"

"Okay Nae I get it" he finally snapped "I'm the last person you want to talk to right now"

"Finally, the boy found sense" Nae retorted lifting her hands and slapping them back down on her knees "Where did you find it?" she asked "What let me guess! in the panties of the last rachet hoe you smashed" she offered

When Tyreeke didn't answer Nae continued on her rant. "Or was it that the hoe told you she loved you and you were beside yourself that you left the girl half naked and ran over here to vent your thoughts?" she asked again "'Cause we all know a selfish bugger like you couldn't love no one but himself"

"You sound jealous" Tyreeke quipped getting a little braver in her presence

Nae scoffed "You think this" she began gesturing to her body "Is jealous of Mindy?"

"So you do know her name" Tyreeke responded raising a brow "Keeping tabs on me"

Nae clenched her teeth at his broad remark "You have a matter of seconds before all that's left of you if a tab stating your name and date of birth"

"Hit a nerve did I?"

Nae let out an exasperated sigh, "Lemme tell you something real quick, I don't like you" Nae paused for effect  "The only reason I put up with your scrawny toothpick looking, insect stepping, bugged eyed breathing, rat face of a specimen" she spat,  "Is because of your brother-"

Tyreeke sent her a death glare

"Your squint eyes don't scare me" she responded sending a glare of her own

"You have no right!"

"No right to what? Mention his name?" Nae tested

Tyreeke continued his stare.

"Oh I see, I have no right? what do you know about right? Nigga you wouldn't even know the difference between left and right if it wasn't for the dumb tattoo's on your hands!"

Sub-consciously Tryreeke pulled down on his shirt sleeves "You know that has nothing to do with it"

"Well please enlighten me Einstein" Nae encouraged "What was the genius thought behind the dumb scrawl on your wrist"

"You wouldn't understand"

"Oh really?" Nae laughed within herself, she knew exactly why they were there for "Just for the record no matter how hard you try you will never be anything like him" Nae spat

"And you think you are sooo much better than everyone else here in the hood huh?" Tyreeke retorted "Let me tell you something Nae no matter how hard you try to get the 'education' you'll always just be another hood rat from the slums."

"Says the drug sniffing, panty banging, dropout of a wasteman in front of me"

"You think you scare me?" he asked taking a step in her direction

Nae stood taking a few steps until she was square with him "I know I scare you" she pulled on the collar of his shirt "But obviously my last warning wasn't enough" she added gesturing to the circular burn mark on his collar bone.

Tyreeke gripped her hand yanking it away from his chest.

"You don't scare me" he reiterated, holding her gaze for a moment longer and then letting her arm drop at her side before walking away.

Following is path Nae called out "So you're just gonna leave and not tell me why you wasted my time?"

Tyreeke faced her and shrugged only  then did Nae see the true essence of the young boy he was.

Softening her voice Nae asked again "What did you want Ty?"

Squaring his shoulders Tyreeke answered confidently, albeit reluctantly  "Some advice"

Nae sighed, after all this was what she had agreed to "About?"

Tyreeke shrugged "Don't worry yourself Nae." he paused "It's nothing I can't fix" he forced a smile

Nae knew exactly what that meant, "What type of trouble you in?"

"What does it matter" Tyreeke shrugged again making his way out the door he turned to face her, "After all I'm just a drug sniffing, panty banging wasteman" he added before walking away.

Leaning away from the door post, Nae slammed the door behind her leaning against in and running her hands through her hair. Looking up to the ceiling as if it held all the answers she tugged at her roots "Shoot Jamal!" she exclaimed banging her hand on the wall beside her "What have I done now?"
