Part of The Game

VII

As soon as I got to Dave's house, he fell asleep. I was bored and hungry so I threw my hair in a ponytail and changed into one of Dave's shirts since my clothes got wet. I didn't feel like putting on pants so I didn't.

I went down to his kitchen and looked through his fridge. Deciding what I was gonna cook, I pulled out everything I needed. I was really good at making shrimp pasta so I decided to make that with some garlic bread.

I connected my phone to the Bluetooth speaker that was in the kitchen and started playing my music but not too loud.

She asked me if I wanted right there and I said hell yeah
Started kissing on my ear, and I said hell yeah
Then I told her like you know what, we can do it in my Rover
You can get from the side, like the pistol in my holster

I started prepping the shrimp by the sink. Using the knife, I split the shrimp down the back and removed the vein. When I finished that, I started cooking the pasta. While that was cooking, I preheated the oven for the garlic bread.

The pasta finished so I strained it and put it to the side. I got a saucepan and heated some butter and oil. I minced some garlic and put it in the pan. Once it turned lightly golden, I scooped it out and threw it away. I, then, added the shrimp and put the bread in the oven.

I guess the smell woke him up because within seconds, Dave came downstairs. He walked in the kitchen and wrapped his arms around my waist, resting his chin on my head.

"What you making?" He asked.

"Shrimp pasta."

The shrimp turned pink so I turned off the heat and added the pasta. I added some Parmesan cheese and tossed the pasta to blend. The bread was done so I pulled it out and plated everything.

Wanting to be fancy, I placed them on the table along with two wine glasses. Since I'm not old enough to drink, I grabbed a Sprite and some cranberry juice and poured it in my glass. Dave was in the back laughing at me but he's the adult soooo.....

"You want the same or..?

"Nah, baby." He laughed. "I'm legal."

He pulled out a bottle of Henny and poured some into his glass. Shaking my head, I sat down and prayed before eating my food. Dave sat down and did the same.

"Damn, this good." He said.

"Thank you." I smiled.

"Where you learn to cook?" He asked.

"Uh, my dad."

"I don't really know alot about you."

"I don't know alot about you either." I shrugged.

"How old are you?"

"17."

"You got me catching a case, Tanya?!" He playfully yelled.

"Is it worth it?" I smirked, taking a sip from my cranberry Sprite.

"So far."

"What about you?" I asked.

"I'm 22." He said. "How many siblings you got?"

"2-both brothers." I said. "You?"

"Younger sister."

"How old is she?" I asked.

"15." He said. "She goes to school with you."

"Oh, maybe my little brother knows her."

We finished our food so I stood up to get the plates but Dave stopped me.

"I got it." He said.

Shrugging, I went upstairs and climbed into his bed. About 10 minutes later, he walked in and laid down next to me. I curled up next to him and he pulled me on him, gripping my butt.
