He's mine (ON HOLD)

Chapter Four

The next two days went the same way. We had lunch and dinner dates. We worked a lot on the project. I got his number. Score. He intrigued me and I liked hanging out with him. There was a party today that I decided to go to.

"Hey. There's a party @8. Come with me please."  I text him around 10. I wanted to introduce him to the gang at the party. They wanted to see the dude who was taking up so much of my time lately.

I waited for about ten minutes for a response, but he hadn't text me yet. I went to the bathroom and took out my piercings. I put them in an earring solution. I ran a bath and added bubble soap. After a few minutes, I put my phone on the edge of the bath and stepped in. I relaxed into the bath.

I loved the feeling of doing nothing, but relaxing into the warm water. I wash my hair well and scrub my body down with lavender body wash. I hear my phone buzz. I dry my hands off and pick up my phone,

"I can't. Nothing 2 wear. Have fun!"  De'Quan responds.

"You're coming. Be at your house in 20. We'll go shopping."  I smile and get out of the bath. I dry my body and hair off the best I can.

I put on a black, off-the-shoulder long sleeve with some skinny jeans. I put on my white and black Adidas. I rinse all my piercing off and slide them back in, except I switch my diamond medusa piercing and diamond septum piercings for a black version. I put on a nude lipstick and my signature black eyeliner.

I head out to my car which Paul and Scar dropped off for me yesterday. I set my purse into the passenger seat. I pull out of my driveway and speed towards his house.

I pull up outside his house. "I'm here."  I text him quickly.

A few seconds later he comes out of the house. He has a bit of makeup under his right eye. I don't mention it and pull off towards the mall.

When we get inside the mall everyone is looking at us. I shrug my shoulders and keep walking. I'm about to walk into the Nike store when De'Quan grabs my arm.

"I really can't afford stuff in there. Let's go somewhere cheaper." He says looking at his feet.

"I didn't say you had to afford it. I can afford it and I'd like to treat you to something nice." I say, dragging him into the store. We look around at a couple shirts and some shoes. I notice that he stopped on a silky maroon jacket. I grab the jacket and hang it on my arm.

"I can't let you buy that. It's almost $200." He says trying to put the jacket back.

"To late I'm already buying it." I say going over to the shoe section. They don't have the shoes I'm looking for so I go and continue looking around. I don't see anything else I want. I go to the counter and pay for his jacket.

We go out and head into Dick's Sporting Goods. I usually go here when I need medical tape or knuckle pads, but they might have Jordan sportswear. I walk into the men's section and look for jogging pants. I find a pair of jogging pants with Air Jordan going up the right leg. I grab a small and continue looking around.

Nothing else catches my eye and they still don't have the shoes I'm looking for. We leave and head around the mall. I hear his stomach grumble. I laugh and walk him to the food court. "What do you want? You can have anything you like." I say heading into the line for Chinese food.

"I'll just wait until I get home." He says looking away.

"Nope. Here's $25. You better have food when I come sit down.
