Fourth of July

Chapter 33

Does anyone know the name of Jamia and Evans's older sister?

~~

"Hey, Mia, I was wondering if you wanted to go to the movies with me tonight?" I asked over the phone.

"Sure, who's watching Gee and Miles?" She asked.

"Evan is," I said.

"Alright, that sounds like fun," Jamia agreed.

"Okay, I'll pick you up in an hour," I said.

I giggled excitedly as I hung up, going to get dressed. I put on a pair of black jeans, a white button up and my black leather jacket, fixing my short, brown hair. Evan came over and I told him what to do to take care of Miles before leaving to go pick Jamia up. I knocked on her door, my heart racing nervously.

"Wow, you're all dressed up," she remarked.

"You look beautiful," I said.

She blushed as she looked down at her simple navy blue dress. We got into my car and we got to the movies. I paid for tickets and snacks before we sat down.

"We haven't done this in so long, I'm glad we are," she said. "I feel like we haven't spent any time alone together recently."

"Me too," I agreed.

The movie started and I glanced over to where her hand was on the armrest between us. I went to go hold it but at that moment she moved it away to grab some popcorn.

"That was funny," she said when the movie was done. "I liked that."

"Yeah," I mumbled in agreement.

I hadn't even paid attention, I just kept thinking of her the entire time. I drove her home, walking her up to her front door.

"Thanks for taking me out, it was a lot of fun," she said. "We should do it again. Although, you were really quiet tonight, why's that?"

I leaned forward, pressing my lips against hers. She kissed back for a moment before pulling away.

"I don't wanna be just one of your one night stands or quick hook ups, Frank," she whispered.

"No, you're not," I denied. "I'm in love with you."

"You are?" She asked hopefully.

I nodded, holding her hips as I kissed her again. Mia opened the door and I backed her into her house, gently laying her down on the couch. She whimpered quietly, pushing my jacket off.

"I love you," I whispered.

"I love you too," she said.

My hands ran down from her knees up her thighs to hold her waist. My phone rang and I cursed as I sent it to voicemail. My hips rolled down against her and she gasped, letting out a shaky moan. My phone only rang again and I sighed as I sat up. Jamia panted softly, looking up at me as I answered it.

"Hello?" I asked.

"Frank?" Evan asked. "Oh god, Frank, Gee is sick and he isn't doing well."

"What do you mean?" I asked.

I moved away and Jamia looked at me in concern.

"I-I don't know, he was fine one second and then after dinner he started acting kind of funny and he felt warm so I put him to bed but now he's burning up and he keeps getting worse really fast," Evan said. "He's got a fever, he's burning up and I think you should come home."

I hung up, quickly throwing on my jacket.

"Frank, what's wrong?" Jamia asked.

"Gee is sick," I said.
