Nette Perspective //Friday//7:40

Chresanto pulls me out of the door- against my will- and on to the  front porch. "Santo, I really don't want anything to do with this. It's in the past now "I tell him, but he's still pulling me along.

 The sun was setting outside,and it was humid out here. I look over at Jacob-who was shirtless again- he was working under his car. His hair was in pony tail, and his black pants hung low under his waist. Sun was shining down on his sweaty body and couldn't help but to smile. He out here looking like those commercial models for Suave body wash. I watch a lot of TV now a days.

  "Is this life right now? Like for real "I mumble to myself.He turns towards me, squinting his eyes because of the sun and makes a confused face. "Oh, there's Jacob? What should I call him brother in law now "Chresanto says sarcastically stopping and turning that direction. I roll my eyes at him, "be nice "I warn. "Aye, Jacob "Chresanto yells then glances at me with a smirk. Jacob looks up and pushes him self from under the car, then on to his feet.

 This is awkward because they both hate each other. Jacob puts down some tools and begins walking towards us. I elbow him Chres, giving him a look of death. "I ain't gon' do nothin' "he mumbles with that teasing smile on his face. Jacob slyly smiles at me then cuts his eyes to chresanto. Ahh, this should be great...perfect.

Wassup? "Jacob asks, looking a slightly confused but amused as well. He  hides it with a grin. Mhmm, just perfect babe. Real smooth.

Chresanto look towards me for a split second then back at him. "Let's ride out. Antoinette you stay home "he orders like I'm a little kid or something. Ride out? Niggah the fuck?  Like I dont know who he thought he was but..

I frown and push Santo with all might.  I'm little and he's bigger than me. I'm mighty and all -dont get me wrong- but he hardly budged. "What! No, I wanna go too! "I yell. Chres chuckles, "sorry to break up your little bond, but we have to take care of some business "he frowns and starts walking towards the Blue Ferrari. This not grand theft auto. What the fuck is he going to do? Seriously, boy you will go to jail.

Jacob turns to me looking worried. "You told him we had sex? "he whispers to me. "No, no Jacob. He'll kill you, but he found out about Craig "I said. Jacob nods, "so he doesn't wanna kill me yet. Alright  so I have to prepare. But why does he want me to go? "He ask and glances at Chresanto again. 

"I don't know. But could y'all behave? "I intertwine my fingers with his and look him deep in the eyes. He's too cute when he's worries. And those eyes of his.. "I'll try, but I can't speak for your brother." We both glance over at Santo.  Yeah he's kind of right about that. 

"Yeah he is unpredictable. Be safe my lil afroprince. "I smile and so does he.  I slightly want to throw up in my mouth from that nickname. Ugh, that was better in my head. Yeah I'm not doing that again. Next time I'll come up with-"I love you, and by the way you lost that bet. "He leans closer to my lips and the tip of his nose touches mine. 

"What bet? "I ask. He pecks my lips simply and pulls away. "Remember when -" he was cut off by the sound of a cars' horn. Chresanto's horn , O f course. He's such a hater. "I guess you gotta go. "

"Alright, bye baby "he pecks my cheek and jogs over to Santo's car ."I'll pray for him "I say as I watch him get in on the passengers' side.
