Jai'Marie
I stand in the school gym alone,while the other girls went in the cafeteria. I pick up a basketball and begin to dribble it.
I throw the ball, aiming for the hoop. But I miss.
"Lame! Stick to cheerleading baby." A deep voice says. I turn around and see Jahlil standing in the door way.
"Hey!" I smile as I run over to him and wrap my arms around his neck.
He puts a tight grasp around my waist and kisses my full lips. "I missed you."
"I missed you too Jahlil." I rub his cheek and give him another peck on the lips. "What you doin popping up at my school."
"I came to pick you up." He says.
"Oh....my mom sent you?" I ask as I wiggle out of his arms and walk over to my gym bag and pick it up.
"Nah. I wanted to come swoop you and take you out for icecream or something. Then we can go to my crib and watch a movie."He says as he lifts up one of his shoulders.
"I don't want no icecream baby. I wanna go to sleep." I giggle, then lug my gym bag over my shoulder.
"So you dont want a hot chocolate fudge sundae. With a side of hard baked chocolate chip cookies and sprinkles."
I bit on my bottom lip as I roll my eyes. Hearing that just made my mouth water. "Come on let's go." I give in.
****
"Mmmm..." I moan in pleasure as I slide the ice cream off of my spoon with my tounge. "This is so good."
"Im glad you enjoyed it." Jahlil says as he slurps on his smoothie.
"How was your day?" I ask him.
"Straight." He shrugs.
"What happen to yesterday?" I ask.
He furrows his eyebrows as he unlocks his phone. "What you mean baby?"
"I didn't hear from you. I came over like you ask and you weren't even home."
"Oh I was out with Zarai."
"You still talkin to Emily?" I ask referring to his ex, this white girl I can not stand.
"Why would I still be talkin to her if im with you Jai."
"Cause....at cheerleading practice the hoe stays starring at me." The thought of her makes me roll my eyes to the back of my head.
"She's just jealous. I swear to you Jai your only person I've been with for the last month. I dropped all my hoes for you"
"That's what you suppose to do motherfucka'. Dont act like you doing me a favor."
"You need to get rid of that attitude." He says with bass in his voice.
"You ain't gon make me." I snap.
"Oh okay lil mama." He grins as he begin scroll down Instagram on his phone.
I take a moment an admire him. Jahlil is drop dead attractive. He stands almost at 6 feet. His skin is smooth and he has a light bronze complexion. He also has big almond colored eyes, and waves deeper than ocean.
Him and I grew up together as play cousins. We have had a crush on each other since we were real young. Now that were older, we decided to be with each other.
Ring...Ring...Ring..
My phone begins to ring, tearing me away from my thoughts. I unzip my Nike gym bag and pull out my Iphone 6, a picture of my mother was popping up on the caller.
