I slightly bugged trying my best not to wake Dinah up. Her arm was wrapped around my waist and her head was on my chest. The little bit of sunlight peaking through my window hit her face perfectly. I looked at my door to make sure it was locked. I knew my parents were home and I would have a lot of explaining to do.
I began to play with my sleeping beauty's hair "Dinah.." I whispered. Her head nodded slowly. "You should wake up baby" I spoke to her knowing she can hear me. She hugged my waist tighter. "We can go to your house and cuddle some more or we can do something else if you like" I kissed her forehead. Dinah quickly sat up. "I'm surprised your parents didn't come knocking yet" Dinah rubbed her eyes. "They probably did but my door is locked" I smirked. "Smart girl but how are you going to explain to them about you sneaking off with a girl" Dinah asked. "I'll just say we didn't want to be there"
I gave Dinah a pair of sweatpants and we headed down stairs. As I expected my parents would be standing right in the living room ..waiting.."care to explain what happened last night" My mom folded her arms. "We really didn't want to be there and-" My dad cut me off. "No,you had one thing to do ..meet her daughter start a friend ship, but you went to go hang out with your friend" I heard Dinah laugh lowly. "What if I told you that's been done already and she slept over" I smiled. "That's Dinah -Jane Hansen, and we went to school together" the expressions on my parents faces were priceless.
*******
"You don't think they suspect anything?" Dinah asked "No, they were excited we were friends and they didn't have to force me into doing something" I giggled. "and it looks like I'll be over at your house later again" Dinah showed me her phone.
**later that night**
I finished setting up the table. "Add three more" my mom walked by. I sighed and did as told. I went to my room and got dressed, I had to look my best for Dinah.
Every thing was going smoothly, other than the tension between Dinah and Jacob. He was watching me intensely tonight, and Dinah was watching him. I slowly began to realize my dad caught on, so I gave Dinah a kick in her leg. "Normani go bring out more salad" My mom said then got back to her conversation. "Jacob come with we" He didn't hesitate.
"Stop watching me like that" I furrowed my eyebrows. "I heard you and Dinah became really good friends" He walked up to me. "Yeah , what does that have to do with anything" I mumbled. "I see the way you look at her" His finger touched my chin and he brought my lips to his. I instantly pushed him back when I heard the door swing back closed.
I got the salad and walked back out. All eyes were on us. "Where's Dinah" I asked, noticing she wasn't at the table. "She went outside,is everything okay" Her mom told me. I nodded and went outside but she wasn't there. This was stupid he kissed me.
I walked back in and didn't even bother to go back to the table , I went to my room and closed my door behind me. I heard someone walk in but I didn't move."What's wrong" My mom asked. "I messed up, I was actually happy and I messed it all up" I felt my heart get heavy. "I'm sure he'll understand go talk to him" my mom stroked my back. "It's not Jacob" I looked at her. She looked at me for a while but didn't say anything. "Well we all make mistakes and try new things that we shouldn't, you should just focus on what is being offered to you" My mom smiled and walked back out.
I got up and changed my clothes and headed back down stairs. "Where are you going" My dad stood by the stair case. "To see Dinah" I walked past him. "I think you shouldn't worry about her why don't you go join Jacob-" I rolled my eyes . "I don't care what you think, I'm going to see her" I walked out the door. Probably leaving shocked looks on all there faces.
When I got to Dinah's house I knocked on the door. Her mom opened and didn't hesitate to let me in. I found Dinah's room and knocked . She didn't answer so I just walked in.
"Can we talk ...please" I closed the door behind me. "No" She looked at her wall trying her best to avoid me. "Fair enough" I took my shoes off and sat next to her . Scanning her face, she just laid there no emotions , something I've never seen before. "I'll just talk to you" I mumbled. "He kissed me, I would never do anything like that to you if it makes you feel better I told my dad I don't care about his opinion" I smiled. She didn't, "Dinah please..you already know how much I'm in love with you" I looked at her. "You know what's crazy, I wanted you ever since summer started and I thought we might just hook up and that's it but no you couldn't just let me go" Dinah looked at me. "Is that what you want me to do Dinah?" I got frustrated. "No Mani! I want you to show me the love I give to you I want you tell everyone I'm yours" Her eyes brows furrowed. "..I ..I can't..my parents" I said. "I'm not going to force you to do anything, but this sneaking around stuff it's killing me" Dinah looked away.
