The Neighborhood

O

"You sure you'll be OK tonight," Keith stalled boldly, his body blocking the front and only exit, caging me in his now completely furnished house.

I sighed loudly, still nudging, pushing and shoving him out the way. And he still didn't bulge nor moved a single inch, his steel like body mocking my weak one in comparison.

"For the last time, I'll be fine," I huffed out as my hands tried dragging him in the opposite direction of the door.

He rolled his eyes before simply pulling me into him like a rag doll. A small yelp left the back of my throat as my head made a harsh contact in his mid abdomen.

"Keith," I wined as he buried my face deeper into him.

"Shut up and listen to me," he demanded, his tone laced with dominance.

He grew irritated as I still try to free myself from his prison. My palms pushing away at his long torso.

A sharp slap contact on my left cheek causing me to hiss rubbing the burning sensation.

"Are you gonna listen or are you gonna hear me out?"

I immediately stop my resistance, his hand loosing on the back of my head then gripping my jaw softly; tilting my head to meet his eyes.

"Ima say how it is and I hope you don't get mad but.... I don't like ya momma. She seems like a bitch even when she was tryna get my pipe."

I showed that I understood where he was coming from, sadly relating to it as well still rubbing the tenderness away.

My mother had severe issues with her anger.

"Yeah I get you," I sighed softly, breaking contact then looking back.

"Good," he hummed, his thumbs caressing the outline of my jaw. His intense gaze pierced through me like a knife. He sighed softly, the presence of his touch leaving.

"Just tell me if anything happens OK?," he stepped aside letting me pass.

I smiled, my left hand rubbing his biceps gently before I bolted out the door.

When I was already passing the sidewalk I turned around to see his reaction.

I laughed loudly, holding my side as i hunched over.

His mouth hung open widely catching flies as his head tilted to the side in shock.

"So I don't get a goodbye or nothing like that," he shouted soon a small pout placed on his lips.

I rolled my eyes playfully, "Fine," I huffed as I dragged my feet.

He proceeded to move forward also, his steps much more wider than mine which lead him to meet my on the soft green grass.

He cheesed with a dumb look on his face, his large arms expanded as my invite.

Chuckling quietly, I wrapped my arms around his waist then quickly letting go as I turned on my heel.

"Oh no you don't," his voice huskier than earlier.

Large hands gripped my hips before I was hoisted in the air from behind. My back collided with his hard chest before he turned my body to face his.
My naked legs snaked around his hips on instinct which caused him to raise his brows.

"You a freak huh baby," he teased, laughing at me before scanning my face.

I rolled my eyes at his remark, a small blush coating my milk chocolate cheeks.

"We all know that you not innocent Keith, so you can drop the act," I smirked as I wrapped my arms lightly over his broad shoulders. My shaved legs swayed back and forth childishly.
