Chapter 10: Part 3

                So we pull up to Arrow’s and hopped out the car. I pulled out the spare key Arrow gave me the other day and opened up the door and walked in. “Y’all hungry?” Arrow asked.

I looked at Pree and she shook her head at me and I replied to him, “Nah we’re good.”

“Aight well I’m about to order a pepperoni pizza, so if y’all change y’all mind…” he said letting his sentence trail off when he saw us sittin’ in the livin’ room.

“Okay bae.” I said as he left out the room. I turned back towards Pree and said, “So we’re goin’ ova’ to pop’s house tomorrow. Come on let’s go find you somethin’ to sleep in.” I said as she followed me up the stairs to Arrow’s room.

                I looked her ova’, thinkin’ through everything Arrow bought me, tryin’ to find somethin’ that’ll fit her. “What size you wear?” I asked her.

“7” she replied sittin’ on the chair in the corner.

“I don’t think I have anything that’ll fit you.” I walked ova towards the dresser and pulled out one of Arrow’s t-shirts and one of my new pairs of underwear and handed it to her. “Here” I pointed to the bathroom and she went in there but before she closed the bathroom door she turned to me.

“Thanks Bee.” She said giving me a half smile because her eye was still kind of swollen.

“Anytime Pree Pree.” I said as I left out the room going into the kitchen to get her some ice to put on her eye. I walked into the kitchen and saw Arrow putting the pizzas on the island. “Damn that was fast.” I said as I hopped up on the counter and grabbed his slice of pizza he was about to eat and took a big bite.

“Now I’m a pretend that you didn’t just take ya’ mans food.” Arrow said as he moved in between my legs.

“That’s right keep pretendin’ because you ain’t gone get it back.” I said to him as I continued eatin’ the pizza.

“What I tell you about yo’ mouth.” he said as he leaned in extra close and grabbed the pizza out my hand and finished it off.

“Not a damn thing and you know you ain’t right for that.” I said referrin’ to his pizza theft. I wasn’t playin’ stealin’ pizza is a crime.

“Mhm ma’ keep talkin’,” he said as he reached ova’ and grabbed another slice.

“Whateva.” I said as I bit the corner of the crust off his slice of pizza.

“So is Pree all good.” He asked. My bae is so damn nice.

“Yea she straight, she’s in the shower now and I hope you don’t mind but I gave her one of your shirts to sleep in.”

“It’s all good if y’all need anything I got y’all.”

“Thanks bae,” I said as I pecked him on the lips, anything longer and I know it’ll turn into somethin’ real.

“You know I got you, and yo’ fam…So is her eye okay?” Arrow asked him.

“Yea.” I said as he backed up to let me down and I walked ova’ to the refrigerator and filled a bag up with ice. “Its fine it’s just swollen.” I turned around and walked back up the stairs and saw Pree just walking out the bathroom. “Here” I handed her the ice. “The guest bedroom is right there.” I said pointing towards the room. “If you need anythin’ just knock, if you hear anythin’ try to ignore it.”

I left her in the room, I would’ve stayed and asked her if she wanted to talk about it but truth is I don’t even want to talk about it, cousin or not I’m not about to pretend for anybody. I walked into the kitchen and saw Arrow eatin’ more pizza sittin’ down at the island watchin’ TV.  I walked past him and grabbed another slice of pizza and sat down next to him. “You’re greedy as hell.”

“So the pots calling the kettle black.” He said.  Oh he just thinks he’s so smart with all his mart ass remarks I got somethin’ for that ass.

“Damn right,” I said as I ate another slice of pizza. “Ya’ betta’ check ya’ self baby boy.”

“Yea sure, I see ya’, but ya’ know what I told you about yo’ smart ass mouth.”

“Whateva’ you ain’t gone do shit.” I said cheesin’ real hard.

“Keep talkin’” He said as he moved away to throw the pizza boxes away. He walked back towards me and settled in between my legs, once again.

“You ain’t gone shit, and you kno-“ he cut me off with a hand down my pants and a hand up my shirt, so you know a bitch was speechless when he started goin’ in and after that he took me to bed and you can guess where everything went from there. Let’s just say that Pree diffidently had a hard time sleepin’.
