Two Brothers. ( A Drama)

My Own Terms

I'm really glad you guys like the story, comments are always appreciated! There's only this boring part left before all the drama unfolds!

- Milena

Saturday was the worst night of my life. I've never felt so embarrassed. He was acting like I was a twelve year old, dragging me out of a party with everyone watching us. I didn't even let Celeste know I was gone until I was home. I'm so tired of being treated like a child! That's the main reason I moved down here, to have some freedom. I can do things on my own without needing someone's help. I was definitely not going to have sex with Carnell, I barely know the guy! Although...I'm not going to deny the sexual attraction but it's not something to act on just yet. The guy from the party keeps popping up in my thoughts too. He had the nicest eyes...I really have to stop having conversations with people and not asking them their names.

"Knock Knock" my thoughts were interrupted. It was Royce leaning agaisnt my door frame. "Hi.." We haven't really spoke since the party a couple of days ago. "You still mad at me?" I just looked down. "You gotta understand, me and Nell have been cool for a long time. I know how that nigga operates and I don't need you being added to his list" "Royce I can think for myself, I wasn't going to do anything that night..how do you expect me to learn a lesson if you won't let me make mistakes." "Lena" he made a face. "I'm telling you bout the nigga! I'm telling you everything you need to know about him. He's no good..the nigga ain't shit. He's not going to take you out, he's not going to take you home to meet his family, any of that" "But Royce, people change" He sighed. "Let me ask you this, what does he know about you? From the few times you've talked what did he ask about you?" It was quiet. Carnell didn't know anything about me. He never asked me...anything. Royce shook his head. "But he made damn sure he got you in his room that night. He just wanted to fuck..I'm sorry." I just sighed. That couldn't have been all he wanted to do. Maybe he was going to ask me all that later, maybe all he wanted to do was kiss me. Royce doesn't know what his intentions were with me. I just want this conversation to be over. "Thanks Royce, for looking out for me" "You're the only little sister I have I gotta look out for you. But I have to say..I would hate to have to go to jail over you" He chuckled. "I'm too pretty for jail" we laughed. Royce was good looking but that's of no surprise we come from a good looking family. He was about six foot four, dark skin, light brown eyes with a muscular build. "I'm heading out for work see you later" "Bye". I went to go get in the shower maybe that would relax me.

-Carnell

"Why are you here?" I said annoyed. Kelly turned with a mouth full of cereal. "Well..?" He put his hand up then swallowed. "Now Carnell, you do know it's rude to talk with your mouth full don't you? But! If you must know I ran out of cinnamon toast crunch and came here to laugh in your face about the party" he burst out laughing. "Are we laughing at Carnell?" And of course here comes Dustin from the living room right on time. "Yeah" they kept laughing. "Royce was going to kick yo ass" "No he wasn't so shut up" They finally calmed down. "I don't even know why you're messing with that nigga sister, he's crazy and she's too young for you" "how old is she?" "19, she'll be 20 in a few months...wait how do you not know how old she is?" "The real question is how do you know all of this!" He made a throaty laugh. "I already told you I've met her a few times before and when you meet people you ask them questions" "Carnell" Kelly jumped in dabbing the corners of his mouth with a napkin. I don't know who he thinks he is but I just go with it. "You disgust me. You were going to fuck that innocent girl with all these people here? Shame on you." "No I wasn't!" I was. " I just wanted to talk to her damn" No I didn't. "Maybe I would've gotten a chance to know more about her if Dustin and Royce wouldn't have barged in" Possibly could've happened. They got quiet. "You not foolin nobody bro" they started laughing again "He could've had sex with a 15 year old girl for all he knew" Oh haha haha but I didn't. "I'm leaving"

Those two can really get on my nerves. I'm not disgusting and I'm not a jerk and I'll prove them wrong. I got in the shower, got dressed and headed out to see Milena. I'm gonna put off the front..I've been thinking about her since the party. She really is gorgeous. Nice brown skin,long black hair, perfect brown eyes, plump lips. Don't even get me started on her body, I could talk about that all day. I had no idea she was 19 though and she's not too young for me if she'll be 20 soon. I swear they always have to over exaggerate some shit. I pull up to Milena's house and make my way up the porch. I knock. They have a nice looking house, nice grass too. She opened the door with wide eyes "Uh hi.." "Don't you want to let me in" I half smiled. She stepped aside to let me in.

-Milena

Thank you Lord I had the time to shower before this boy showed up. I closed the door and quickly fluffed my high ponytail, grabbed my chapstick from my hoodie quickly outlined my lips and followed him to sit on the couch. I'm always prepared with the lip care. He looked at me. "I'm sorry" we said together then laughed. "Milena I'm sorry about how I acted at the party. I shouldn't have been kissing all on you like that" "No I'm sorry, my brother can be so over protective" "All I wanted to do was talk really, I barely know you.." "That's what I was trying to explain to him! But he says you're this no good guy and he doesn't really want me talking to you" "Listen to me" he grabbed my chin. "Are you going to do everything your brother says are or you going to think for yourself? I know there's a brain in there" He tapped at my head. I smiled. "You can either listen to him and stay sheltered all your life and miss out on a good thing" he points to himself. "Or..you can take a risk and enjoy life the way you want to so..what's it going to be?" He's right. I have to take risks or else I'll be wandering what if for the rest of my life. I'm not one to judge a book by it's cover. He hasn't given me a reason to label him as a bad guy. "I'm going to take you up on that offer" I smiled at him, he smiled back. "Good now go get dressed I'll take you to get something to eat." I went upstairs to get changed into a cute maxi dress. Put on a tad of mascara, eyeliner and brushed my wavy afro into a neater high ponytail. "You look good" "thanks" I blushed a little, yes, I do blush don't tease me.

He took me to Quaker Steak & Lube (it's a really good food place) one of my favorite spots! "I love this place!" Carnell smiled, scooted his chair closer to the table and stared me dead in the eyes. "I hear you have a birthday coming up pretty soon" "Yep! I'll be the big 2 0" "I'll keep that in mind" We talked and laughed for about two hours. Turns out he comes from a big family too. He and his oldest brother own a few car washes around town and the others co-own a really nice studio.

He parked in my driveway, turned off the car and looked me in the eyes. "Milena..I'm not gonna bullshit with you. I always go after what I want and I always get it and..I want you. I like you. You're going to be in my life for a long time whether you like it or not" I was totally ok with all he was saying. "But what about Royce? You know he doesn't-" "What did I tell you...make your own decisions, think for yourself. It doesn't matter what anyone says I'm going to be in your life" he laughed. "Give me a kiss" I did as he said and that was the start of something beautiful.
