The New Guy. (Jhene Aiko x Childish Gambino). [NON-famous story]

Ice Cream.

►Calvin

It was Saturday night and I was at Jasmine's house; she had just finished telling me everything else. She used to be an exotic dancer, that's how she met Lay's father. They only talked for a weekend and she got pregnant. He disappeared after that. It makes sense why she thought I would judge her.

"That's...that...was...umm." I was at a loss for words.

She looked up at me, "I know it's a lot to take in.. but I felt like I could trust you with it. I hope I wasn't wrong."

I shook my head. "No, you're not wrong. You can trust me. I hope I don't ever give you a reason for that to change either."

The room grew quiet. "It's getting late, maybe I should go." I said, "Give you time to relax, you seem a little stressed with talking about everything."

"Can...you...you should.. stay. If you want to or yeah..." she said softly. Did she really just suggest I stay? I mean.. I wasn't going to turn down her offer, but I didn't want to ruin anything.

A soft knock came from the door and it cracked open, "Mommy I'm hungry." said a voice. Layce's head peeped around the door.

"HEY CALVIN!" she screamed and ran towards me with her arms open.

Jasmine laughed, "I think she likes you."

"Yes. I like Calvin. He has pretty hair." she said.

I smiled, "What did you want to eat? Your mommy can't get you good food if she has no idea what you're in the mood for!"

She looked at Jasmine, "Mommy can I get some ice cream?"

"Now you know that's not what you have for dinner." Lay looked down, seeming kind of saddened.

"Tell mommy what you want that's real food, then I'll take you for ice cream. Sound good?" I looked to Jasmine for approval and she nodded.

Jasmine got her settled down and gave her food while I layed on the couch and watched tv. I couldn't stop thinking about Jasmine saying I should stay the night. Was she serious? And Lay actually liking me? Jasmine said that Lay took a long time to warm up to people. Maybe she just liked me because of my hair. I laughed lowly to myself at the thought of that.

"What'cha laughing at?" Jasmine's voice said.

"The tv...dude said something funny."

She nodded and sat down beside me, "You want me to give you money to buy her ice cream? If you were really taking her."

I shook my head, "Nah, I'm taking you and her out. It's okay."

She looked at the tv, "You never said anything back when I told you I wanted you to stay the night..." Her voice trailed off and she stared towards me.

"We can see I guess, where would I sleep? The couch?"

"My bed..." she whispered. I looked down and started twiddling my fingers. I wanted to, but I was really worried I wouldn't be able to hold myself back.

"We get ice cream now that I finished?" Lay asked.

Jasmine started laughing. "Baby girl, you put your shoes on the wrong feet!"

"I tried mommy." I smiled, this could one day be what I want.. Jasmine, Lay.. One day they could be what I have. My happiness, my family, my everythings.

"Cold Stone, Dairy Queen or Baskin Robbins?" I asked Jasmine. We decided Cold Stone and then got in the car.

"I still want you to stay the night.." Jasmine said. We had got back to her house about half an hour ago. She got Lay ready for bed, and then put her to sleep. She changed the channel to Family Guy and then it grew quiet.

"I just..I don't...okay, I'll stay. But just this one time, and ONLY this time." She smiled and then layed back down. She had her head in my lap and I was playing with her hair.

"I could get used to this." she said.

"To what?"

She looked towards me, "Having a man around the house.. Not really meaning you, but just someone else. Someone Lay could have as a dad and that I could have as a husband."

We both looked back at the tv when the commercial went off. I felt myself lean down and kiss her. I knew it wasn't the best idea considering we had just established that I was staying the night and that she felt like she needed someone around the house. But I did it. I felt so relieved having let that much of my feelings out without saying a word. I didn't realize she had began kissing me back. I was only hoping for a peck, but before long we were making out. The way her warm, glossed lips moved with mine made my heart race. God I hope I didn't mess anything up by kissing her. I don't even know if she has feelings for me.

Calvin is always doing unexpected stuff. One minute we're laying there watching Family Guy, and the next we're swapping spit. I'm honestly confused with him, well slightly. I don't feel like he wants a relationship. I feel like he just wants us to be more of fuck buddies. I could be highly wrong, but that's what it seems. I mean, I tell him that I used to be an exotic dancer and now he decides to kiss me? He's had plenty of chances to do it already. We layed back into a silence afterwards.

"If you're wondering, I still want you to stay the night." I mumbled.

Calvin laughed, "Okay, cool." he paused and looked at me, "Umm, you tryna watch a scary movie?"

"I DON'T do scary movies!" I shrieked. "You would know if you payed any attention to what I tell you."

I felt slightly upset with myself, I knew there wasn't going to be a relationship. He pays ZERO attention to what I say.

"I remember you said that. The first day we were texting and getting to know each other. You said it exactly like that 'I don't do scary movies." he laughed at himself attempting to mock me. "But I was just thinking since you had me with you tonight, you'd try it."

That actually made sense and I felt bad for jumping to conclusions.

"Uh, check Netflix. I guess we can try it."

We ended up watching two Paranormal Activity movies and then we got ready to go to sleep.

"Umm, so...I kind of tend to sleep in a bra and panties." I confessed to Calvin and started laughing. "But I might be able to find a large shirt or something. I don't want it to be awkward."

He laughed, "You're fine like that honestly. I sleep only in boxers though..." I told him that was fine with me and he went in the bathroom to get ready to go to sleep. He walked back in wearing only his boxers. I looked at him and just stared.

His abs... were....his body...oh my god. He started walking towards me laughing. "Your mouth's wide open." he laughed more, "But I could say you look pretty nice too."

We got in bed, laying on separate sides. I felt him reach over and grab me, then pull me towards him. "You don't mind this, do you?" he whispered. I shook my head no and readjusted myself to my new position with him. He kissed my neck twice, it felt really nice, but I had a feeling that was a one time only thing. We fell asleep with him holding me tightly, his hands around my waist, and I just comfortably laying there with him.
