Hood Dancer

Chapter 13

*A Few Days Later*

AJ called and asked me to get dressed and that he would be here to get me at 8. It was now 6. I hopped in the shower and washed my body for a good 30 minutes. He told me to wear something comfortable, but cute. I dried off and put lotion on. I put on my undies and went to find something cute in my closet. It was still humid outside so I found a black loose tank with yellow floral print. I sat that on the bed and pulled out a pair of cute yellow shorts. I reached at the very top and put on my Jeremy Scott prime skin adidas. I put the whole outfit on, tied the shirt on the side, and added a thin purple belt to top it off. I walked into my bathroom and started brushing my teeth. I bent down to spit toothpaste out and when I came back up Dre was standing behind me. I put my hand on my heart and had my fist balled. "Where you going KK? " he said sitting on the counter next to me. "Out with AJ." I said before starting back brushing my teeth. Dre sat there in thought as I finished. I started on my hair and put it up in a big tucked bun and I swooped my bangs. As I started to put my diamond studs and my tennis bracelet on, Dre started talking. "Kaila. What happened to us? " His green eyes were glossy. "Friendship wise or..." I said unsure of my answer. "Both. " He sighed rubbing his face. "You're still my bestfriend but, you been tripping for the past week. I can't even talk to you as a friend. Relationship wise.. I don't want one with you. You sleep with too many females. You got Nique on Monday and Tuesday. Trish on Wednesday's and Fridays. Thursday is your day off. I had to put a lock and code on my door cause the bitches try to steal. Like Damn. I rather just be your friend Dre." I said looking at myself in the mirror watching the tears fall. "I'm sorry. I didn't know I was hurting you." He said looking defeated and grabbing a washcloth for me to wipe my face. "Sorry doesn't fix it. I have to go though. It's 7:50 and I need to be downstairs." I said pulling him off my counter and pushing him ahead of me. We stepped into the hallway and I locked up my room. I walked downstairs and grabbed my keys. "Before you go, what does he have that I don't?" he said holding my hand. "Simple. My trust." I pulled away from him and walked out the door. I did the routine of getting on the elevator and going outside.

Right on time. AJ pulled in front of me in black Lamborghini like my brother's. I got in and put on my seatbelt. "Hey AJ. Where we going?" I faintly smiled. "You'll see." he smirked and sped off out into the street.

We pulled up to a house party. There were all kinds of foreign cars outside. I knew I wouldn't be the best dressed. After he parked the car, we got out and headed to the door. We walked in and all the girls mugged me instantly. I felt so special. AJ grabbed my hand pulled me over to the spot where everybody was dancing. "What you doing? " I said facing him and looking into his brown eyes. "You not gone dance with the birthday boy? " he raised his eyebrows. "Really? Why didn't you say anything. I would've gotten a gift. " I squinted. "Don't do that ma." he whispered in my ear. I smirked and turned my back to him. I moved side to side with the music and I heard bits and pieces if the rednose start to play. I tried to leave the floor and thats when he pulled me back and grabbed on to my hips. "You scared ma? ".he whispered in my ear. "Nah. I'm not scared." I giggled back.

All she tryna do is get naked
And she gone shake it. Like a rednose. Like, like, like, like a rednose

As the song continued I began to yike and dip. To my surprise, he kept up with me. Everybody started to yell and holler things like ; "That's my nigga! ", "She fine as fuck. " , "Yasssss hunny! ". I smiled as we kept dancing and having a good time. The song went off and I walked to the kitchen and grabbed a water. "Get you a cup Kaila." AJ walked up to me. "I don't drink alcohol. " I said before downing the water bottle. "Oh okay. After a little while we gone head out somewhere else. " I nodded and headed back to the dance floor.

We were sitting on a bench at a park. He smoking a blunt and I was sitting there watching. "Tell me about yourself." he said finishing it off. "I'm Kaila Imoni Williams. You already know I'm 17. King's my only sibling. I left my mom back in my hometown. If you don't ask I won't tell." I said playing with my nails. "Look at me when you talk to me ma. " he said lifting my chin. "Well, why your mom there and you and King here? " he asked. "I don't really want speak on King's reasons but I'll tell you mine." I said taking a deep breath. "Go ahead Kai." he got comfortable on the bench. "Well. First, don't judge me." I said and he nodded. "Well, I was in a horrible relationship. He was abusive..." I started and took a deep breath. "You don't have to continue if you don't want to." he said grabbing my hand. "Well, he used to fight me like I was a man. One day I was home by myself. After I got out the shower and put on my underwear, he was in my room somehow. I tried to run, he ended up beating and raping me. I had to leave home." I said tapping my legs and letting out shaky breaths. He pulled me on his lap in a hug and let the tears fall into his neck. "He's still looking for me." I whispered. "What?" He tensed. "Yeah. I got some messages yesterday but I didn't say anything." I said sitting back on the bench. "Alright. We gotta keep a lookout for you. You gone hate us." he said smiling. I smiled and he put his arm around me. "Tell me about yourself. Like, what's your real name?" I raised my eyebrow. "Amari Daquan Jackson. I just turned 19 today. I got a younger brother. He turned 16 a month ago and my lil sister died a few days after she was born." he looked down at me. "I'm sorry to hear that AJ. Anything else you want to share?" I said looking up at him. He took a deep breath. "I killed my dad. He was hitting my mom when I was 6. I just took the gun and fired. My mother went to jail for it. she said she didn't want to ruin my future." he looked away. "Look at me." I said pushing his face in my direction. "I'm not gonna judge you. We all go through shit. I understand your perspective on it." I said looking back at our surroundings.

We stayed like that for a couple of minutes and we finally got up. "What you wanna do now?" I said as he put his arm over my shoulder. "I honestly wanna sleep now. I ain't gone make it home though." he spoke yawning. "Just stay over with me. We don't have a guest room but I do have an air mattress for you." I said looking at our feet. "Why I can't sleep in the same bed as you ma?" He bit his lip making those cute dimples show. "Ion trust myself. Plus, I don't want Dre or King to drop by and go ballistic." I giggled. "Alright I gotchu. Come on Kaila." he said grabbing my hand and walking towards the car.

He opened my door and watch me get in. He closed it behind me, jogged to his side, and hopped in. He drove for a good 30 minutes and we arrived at the condo. I opened the door and got out and so did he. He popped his trunk and pulled out a little duffle bag. I walked ahead of him inside and he followed me straight to the elevator. When we got in it, it was just us two. He dropped his duffle bag and pulled me towards him by my belt loops. (A/N I love that.) I giggled and he wrapped his arms around me and gave me a deep kiss. I was so into it that I tightened the grip on his shirt. He smiled on my lips and pecked them. "I been waiting to do that since I met you." He whispered on my neck letting me go as the elevator doors opened, and it dinged, letting me know it was time for us to get off. We walked down the hallway in silence; I was blushing and he was still holding on to my waist. I got to the door and unlocked it with the key. I opened the door and clothes were all over the floor and moans were coming from out of Dre's room. "He won't learn..." I whispered walking up the stairs getting closer to the sound. "What you talking about?" AJ gave me a confused look. "He has a schedule of girls. He's off on Thursday, Saturday, and occasionally Sundays." I said rolling my eyes. AJ laughed and shook his head. I typed in the code and used my key to open the door. I let him in and followed behind. I locked the door behind me and set the code again. "You can shower in my bathroom. And if you want change in my closet. I'm tired and I need to get in right after you." I said quickly pulling out my underwear and pajamas for the night. He nodded and headed for the bathroom. I took off my jewelry and took down my hair. I put it up in a messy bun. I took off my shoes and put them in the appropriate box. I found the air matress and pump. I blew up the bed. AJ came out 10 minutes later with a towel wrapped around his waist. His six pack was bold and stood out. He was just fine. "Something you like? " he smiled, licking his lips and stopping into my closet. I grabbed my things and headed to the shower. I stripped out my clothes as the steam started to fill the bathroom. I stepped in and washed myself quickly and thouroughly. I was so tired. I wished for an extra 5 minutes and stepped out. I dried off, lotioned, and put on my pajamas.

I walked out the room and he was laying down and my TV was on a basketball game. I hopped in my bed and got under the covers. I clapped the lights off and put my head on the pillow. Within minutes I was out.

AJ's POV
*4 a.m.*

I woke up to use the bathroom. I walked in the bathroom and used it. When I walked out, the light shone on her face and she had tears streaming on her face. I turned on the room light and shook her. She opened her eyes and took in a deep breath. She started crying again. She sat up wiping her face. I sat next to her and she laid her head on my chest. We didn't say anything. We just sat there and nothing mattered but making her feel better. Her hiccups and sniffles were the only sound that filled the room. She looked up at me and I looked down at her. "Wanna talk about it? " I said wiping her face. "No." she said slightly shaking her head. I nodded and leaned back on the headboard and she got comfortable and was staring at my face. "What you want ma? " I said looking at her. "Gimme another kiss." she whispered. She climbed on top of me and gave me a couple of pecks on the lips. She pecked them again and I grabbed her face holding it. She wasn't giving me entrance.

Kaila's POV

He pinched my butt and I gasped. He stuck his tounge in and he took over. I pulled away and looked away. I knew my cheeks were red as hell. I heard him chuckle. I got off of him and laid next to him and grabbed a pillow. I laid it on his lap. I laid on the pillow and he bent down and kissed my forehead. "Go to sleep Kaila." he whispered. I had closed my eyes and within minutes I was gone.
