Chapter Three
Funnel Cakes
I'd been at Ryan's house all day, just sitting arond. He'd been on his laptop, as usual. Not paying any attention to me. It'd been two days since I seen Jeremiah. We've been texting ALL day, he was so funny.
Jeremiah texted back.
Hell yeah , she looks like a sea horse.
I laughed out loud. He was talking about a girl who was 'obsessed' with him.
"What are you laughing it?" Ryan looked up from his laptop. Oh, now he notice me.
"Nothing." I lied.
"Who are you texting?"
"My brother." I lied, again.
I had an incoming call from Jeremiah.
"I have to pea." I got up from the table. I walked down the hall and into the bathroom.
"Hello. " I whispered through the phone.
"Why you whispering?" Jeremiah asked.
"I'm at Ryan's." I told him.
"Oh. Come to the fair with me, tonight."
"Uh, I don't know."
"Pleeease." he said in a sweet tone. That did it.
"Sure. Where should I meet you?" I asked.
"I'll pick you up from your house."
"How do you know where I live?"
"Never mind all-lat. Just be ready in an hour."
"Okay." I hung up.
I walked in the den.
"I have to go." I looked at Ryan.
"Why?" Ryan asked. He was still typing on that damn laptop.
"My mother needs my help." I lied.
I was on it that night.
"Okay. Give me a kiss."
I gave Ryan a quick peck on the lips. "See you later."
He smiled at me and continued to type on his laptop. I rolled my eyes. I grabbed my keys, purse, and I left.
When I got home, my mom was gone. Good. Cause she would've been asking all kinds of questions.
I went into my bedroom and took a shower. I scanned through my closet looking for something to wear. I pulled out white skinny legs and a red blouse, with one side that hangs off the shoulder. I quickly got dressed and put on my black Bob's.
I curled my hair a little and did a cute flip in the front. I looked nice.
I heard a horn blow from outside.
I grabbed my purse and headed out. I spotted a silver Aston Martin parked. It had to be Jeremiah. He got out and opened the door for me. Such a gentleman.
"Thank you." I smiled at him as I slid into the car.
He went over to the driver's side and got in. He started the engine and drove off.
"I missed you Kristie." Jeremiah looked at me, licking his lips. "You look nice."
I blushed. "So do you."
Jeremiah was dressed in khaki Ralph Lauren pants, a royal blue Ralph Lauren shirt, and black Ralph Lauren shoes. He had shades over his eyes. He bit down on his bottom lip as he drove. Sexy!
Jeremiah turned up his radio. Drunk in love by Beyonce Ft. Jay Z played through the speakers.
I laughed. " You listen to this?"
"Hell yes. This is dope." Jeremiah started to dance.
I laughed even harder. This guy!
When we made it to the fair, it was already crowded. Jeremiah paid for our way in. I swear, I acted like a little kid when I saw all the rides.
*************************
Jeremiah and I rode every single ride, even in the tea cups. I screamed the whole time we were on the roller coaster, Jeremiah just laughed. That was the most fun I've ever had. Jeremiah was such a nice guy.
He came back with the funnel cakes and sat down beside me.
"Thank you." I started to dig in.
"Let me feed you." Jeremiah looked at me.
I laughed. "No thanks! I can feed myself. "
"Come on." he made a sad face. That face always get me.
I gave Jeremiah my fork. He got a piece of the funnel cake and stuck it in my mouth. Then he stuck a piece in his mouth.
"Good as hell. " Jeremiah said.
I agreed. He continued to feed me.
"So, tell me about yourself."
"What do you want to know?" I asked.
"Tell me anything." Jeremiah stared at me.
"Well, I was actually born and raised in Alabama. My dad is black, I don't know where he's at. My mom is mixed with black and mowa. She's a high school English teacher. I have one brother. We moved here three years ago. My favorite color is royal blue."
"Well, I was born And raised here. My dad is Puerto Rican, he died a year ago. I have a brother and sister. My momma is black. I do have a step dad, he's white. My favorite color is royal blue also." he smiled. "And there's dis real pretty girl I like. She has pretty, Hazel eyes. Long hair, with a nice booty. You might know her. Her name is Kristie."
I smiled. "She sounds familiar."
We talked for a little while longer, then he took me home.
"I had so much fun. Thank you." I hugged Jeremiah. I pulled away but he pulled me back.
Jeremiah kissed me as he squeezed my butt. I instantly got wet. He slid his tongue in my mouth and kissed me passionately. I wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed him back. I got the butterflies in my stomach as my body started to tingle.
I pulled away, trying to catch my breathe.
"Stay with me tonight babe." Jeremiah kissed me again.
I shook my head. "No, not now. Maybe some other time."
He smacked his lips. "A'ight. Call me before you go to sleep." he kissed me again.
"I will."
"Promise?"
"I promise." I smiled.
Jeremiah didn't get into his car until I was inside. I kicked off my shoes. I took a shower, put on my pajamas, and laid down. I was exhausted. I turned my phone back on. I had 10 messages from Ryan, 2 from Mia, and 1 from Kendrick. I texted them back and called Jeremiah. We stayed on the phone all night! He may have been different. But I still had Ryan. Damn. I thought to myself. It was a big mess.
