Undeniable Love

Chapter Seven.

Jay:

                  "Alright, let's talk." Cici dropped on my bed and propped her legs up on my lap as I laid back against the headrest and sighed. I massaged her feet gently, causing her to relax under my touch, as I told her the whole story; from beginning to end. I told her about the flirting, I told her about the almost kiss, and everything in between.

                  "Wow..." She drifted off, her wide eyes laced with surprise and a hint of disapproval.

                  "I know." I paused, looking over at her. "But everything's cool now." She raised an eyebrow and stared at me with a look that showed me she didn't believe me.

                  "Are you sure about that?" I nodded, but in the back of my mind I knew I still had a slight crush on her, and I couldn't help but feel that it was going to get worse before it got better. She rolled her eyes and climbed on my lap.

                  "You're a damn lie." I chuckled and looked up at her. "So, what's going to happen with y'all?" I shrugged and wrapped my arms around her tiny waist as she cuddled into me, her head nuzzled into my neck. It was never weird for us to be all over each other. No matter what we were talking about, whether it was her problem or mine, we were always cuddled up together. "But can I say something?" I nodded slowly, my eyes drifting closed.

                  "I miss this." I froze. "I miss us..." I sighed and pulled her closer.

                  "Ciara..." She pecked my neck lightly, and I stifled a moan. "I miss how we used to be. You used to talk to me about everything, Jasmine. I never had to wait this long. I thought I was your best friend. Don't push me away for her..." She drifted off and I kept quiet, thinking about what she had said. There was no doubting that Cici was always there for me, no matter what it was. I knew that I had started pushing her away over the last few days, but ever since I had met Jhené, she was all I could think about. I hadn't even had the slightest thought about Ciara. And the only reason we had met up today was because she had forced me into her car afterschool. 

"I'm sorry.." The words barely slipped out my mouth before her lips smashed against mine. I groaned against her soft lips as my stomach filled with butterflies, and heat slowly slid to my core.

                  "Uh, fuck." She grazed her teeth lightly over my neck causing me to arch into her. She sank her teeth into my collarbone before her tongue swept lightly over the almost broken skin. A knock on the door made her pull away, and both our eyes shot to the door.

                  "Jasmine." Ciara's was still straddled on my lap and immediately put her head in the crook of my neck as the door widened.

                  "Yes, Mama?" She stared at us with a small smile that seemed to have a double meaning.

                  "Are you staying for dinner, Ciara?" She pulled her head out the crook of my neck and nodded slowly with a smile in thanks. She nodded and waved for us to follow her, motioning that the dinner was done. We made our way down the stairs as she intertwined our fingers as a way to comfort me. It was always hard for me to sit down and have dinner with Steve there. Usually I would go up to my room but since I knew Mama loved, and missed, Cici, I decided to just stick it out for the night. I looked down and smiled slightly. We sat down at the dinner table and an awkward silence filled the room.

                  "This looks delicious Mrs. Cortez." Steve scoffed and rolled his eyes.

                  "You got something to say, Steve?" His dark eyes met mine, a scowl forming on his face.

                  "Nope. I just don't understand why you're mother allows one of your hoes at the table." Ciara's face fell and I stood up, slamming my hand on the table.

                  "First off, watch who you callin' a hoe. Second of all, you ain't shit, Steve. You're useless. You're just a fuckin' sex toy for my Mama when her vibrator runs out of batteries."

                  "Jay!" My mother tried to cut me off, but I was already too fed up with Steve's shit to heath her warning.

                  "And even then, I doubt you could barely last two fuckin' minutes." I paused as my jaw clenched. "You walk around like you're the shit; like the world owes you something. When in reality, you're nothin' better than a broke ass nigga looking for somebody to take care of your ass since even your own damn mother couldn't take you livin' in her house anymore." Ciara grabbed my hand, trying to calm me down but I jerked out of her reach.

This was my fuckin' breaking point.

"That's fuckin' pathetic. Your own damn mother couldn't even handle your fuckin' shit. You're thirty damn years old and you still can't take care of yourself. Grow the fuck up!" The table was silent when I had finished with my rant. I got up from the table and stomped to the front door. I walked outside and began to slam the door behind me before a hand caught it. Ciara's sad eyes met mine and I broke down. Tears streamed down my face as her arms circled around my body.

                  "I hate him!" My voice seemed to echo through the quiet air as my anger boiled over. "Why? Why does she let them disrespect me, Ciara? Why the hell does she put them over me!?" She sighed lightly.

                  "I'm so sorry, baby. She doesn't deserve a daughter like you." She pecked my lips as I pulled her closer. Her fingers tangled in my dreads, making our lips smash together so hard, it hurt. Our tongues swirled together, in a hot, sloppy, heated kiss causing us both to moan. I got up and pulled her back into the house, up the stairs, to my room. And that night we fucked; all night long. But the thing that surprised me was the passion behind her kisses and the desire behind her soft touches. Something clicked in my brain and suddenly, I couldn't help but spend the rest of night wishing it were Jhené.
