I-Bello (Watty Awards 2013)

Chptr 4

"There is no way that LeBron will ever beat Jordan!" Lucian argued vehemently. "Call me when LeBron has six championships." Lucian said raising six fingers.

"Is that your only argument?" Samira asked in awe.  

"That's the only argument I need Samira!" Lucian yelled standing up as I fell off his lap while Khadeeja started rolling on the floor laughing and Samira sat there shaking her head at Lucian.

They were sitting in I-Bello's room watching Bad Teacher when Samira and Lucian got into the exact same argument as the coach and the little black boy did.

"Ouch," I-Bello said from the floor.

"Sorry baby," Lucian said picking her up from off the floor.

"Yo that was too funny," Khadeeja wheezed through her laughs.

"No it wasn't my butt hurts," I-Bello whinnied.

"I don't know why that's a lot of ass," Samira said. This only added to Khadeeja's laughter and I-Bello couldn't take it anymore so she got up off of Lucian's lap and tackled her.

"Stop laughing!" I-Bello laughed as Khadeeja looked at I-Bello with shock with her large eyes, I-Bello giggled at her and got up to sit on Lucian's lap again.

"So I guess that's what you would have done to Tinesha at lunch last week?" Samira asked.

"Hell's yes," I-Bello said smiling.

"Bello!, Ricky and Eddy are coming up," I-Bello's mother yelled from the bottom of the steps.

"Okay mommy," I-Bello shouted back when Ricky and Eddy walked in holding sodas and chips for them to snack on.

"Hello boys," I-Bello said taking the bag of white popcorn, her favorite, from their grip.

"Hello our itty-bitty-Italian," Ricky said smiling and sitting down.

"I'm not itty-bitty," I-Bello argued pouting.

"Nope, you're fun-sized," Eddy said laughing. Everyone broke into a chorus of laughter while I-Bello sat here getting teased about her height once again.

"I like that though, fun-sized chocolate is a lot of fun," Lucian said putting his head on I-Bello's lap on the bed.

"Ha, now you amazons try to top that," I-Bello said in triumph towards Samira and Khadeeja.

"Whatever little one," Khadeeja said smiling.

"So what are we doing tomorrow anyway?" Lucian asked looking directly at I-Bello.

"Well I don't really care it's up to you," I-Bello said playing with the little hair that was a top his head.

"I was thinking we could go to the club," Samira said.

"I meant just me and I-Bello, besides I have to take her on her first date," Lucian said smiling up at her.

"Oh how honored I am," I-Bello joked laughing and smiling at Lucian.

"You should, this will be the first date this hoe has ever been on," Eddy joked.

"What do you mean?" I-Bello asked.

"Lucian has been more of a hit it or quit it type of guy," Eddy stated brazenly.

"That's okay I'm not the type of girl that allows that disrespect, so what do you want to do for our date?" I-Bello asked dismissing the previous statement.

"Well I was thinking something pretty simple a walk in the park and you know a sit down at a café," Lucian said after he broke from his amazed trance.

"Well that doesn't sound half bad," I-Bello said smiling.
