Young Blood

Chapter 6

Essence POV

* Later that night *

I've been sitting on his couch all day watching tv. He had to go to the studio and he told he'd back any minute now. I get up and walk around his house , it's huge and very well kept. I see pictures of him and his family on the walls.

I smile.

How sweet. I come across the room I was in earlier. I open up his closet and I was in awe with all the clothes I seen. Me being me , I took this really shirt he had and put it on. It looked like a dress on me , it was so cute. I start dancing around in it. When the feeling of somebody's hands met my waist and I jumped.

Essence: Ah ! oh you scared me !

Jujuan: I'm sorry shawty. So what do you wanna do ?

Essence: Go home. Please can you take me home.

Jujuan: oh yea of course.

He grabs my hand and walks my down stairs. Why ? I knew where the stairs were , but I didn't fight it. I liked holding his hand.

He walked us to his car and I led him to my house.

We walk in and it was so cold. He stood by the door with his hands in his pockets.

Essence: Well this is my home.

Gesturing my hands. I showed him around.

Jujuan: It's very nice. He laughed

Essence: Don't lie , I know it's nothing like your mansion. I chuckled.

Jujuan: No I'm serious. I really like it shawty.

Essence: So .. dinner ?

Jujuan: Cool , where you wanna go ?

I laugh.

Essence: I'm gonna cook

His eyes widen and he smiled. He nodded his head and took a seat.

I head for the kitchen and started looking through my fridge. I decided to make some baked chicken , with mashed potatoes and grilled asparagus.

* 2 hours later *

Jujuan: Is it done ? I'm soooooooo hungry !

Essence: Boy shut up , it's done.

I walk out with two plates and place them on the island and sit down next to him. He looked down and looked back up at me.

Jujuan: You made this ?

Essence: nigga wasn't I in the kitchen for almost 2 hours ?

He smiled and began eating. He smiled and kept eating. I just stared while he took every bite. He's so handsome. His jawline was so sharp it could cut someone. His facial hair to his waves. Everything was so perfect about him. We met eye contact and I looked down and kept eating.

Jujuan: Can I ask you something ?

I nodded.

Jujuan: What do you think love is ?

I sat there for a second thinking about his question. I've never been asked this.

Essence: I believe love is a feeling. Like when you were little on Christmas morning or love is that warm fuzzy feeling in your stomach. Love is so many things. But I wouldn't know , I've never been in love or have had to experience love for someone. I've been on my own practically my whole life.

Jujuan: Welp you won't be alone anymore.

He says while putting a piece of hair behind my ear. He begins to scan my body. From head to to toe it looked like his eyes were in awe. When he gets back to my face I was looking down and the blood rushed to my cheeks. He picked up my chin and looked me in my eyes and started leaning in and kissed my forehead ... what the heck.

Jujuan: I should get going. I hope your fine. If you need anything call me.

I nodded and let him out.

Why didn't he kiss me ?
