Brotherly Love 🌹❣️

Chapter 2

Jalayah POV

I woke up from my nap and heard MAJOR. Why I Love You playing. I rubbed my eyes and seen Romeo sitting at the foot of my bed singing. Deciding to listen to him, I didn't move a muscle.

"Never have I felt, that I can be all that you see." He sung

I moved a little and turned around. He smiled and stood up. He walked to me and held his hand out. I took it and stood up, smiling. He pulled me into him and we started slow dancing

"I found love, in you. And no other love, will do. Every moment that you smile, chases all the pain away. Forever and a while in my heart is where you'll stay." He sung and twirled me, "this is why I love you, ooouu this is why I love you, because you love me."

I smiled and hugged him. It's was no secret that Romeo could sing, it was one of his passions. He sings in our church choir. We started swaying from left to right as he continued to sing softly in my ear

"The stars have all the lighting right now is the perfect time to say, I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you, I do."

I looked up at him and he leaned down and kissed me. This isn't the first kiss we've had. It seems that we are together but we aren't. We both respect each other and we love each other. We're just not together. There is just so much holding us back, but if this is true love than it will come around and bring us together.

The song went off and we pulled away, yet, he was still holding me. My door opened and Jr walked in

"What 'da fuck is 'dis?" He said looking at Romeo

"Jr, Romeo was just showin' me how to slow dance for the dance comin' up. It's nothin' serious." I lied

"Get out my sista' room bro. Ain't no niggas supposed ta' be in hea' anyway. And Jalayah yo' ass know that." Jr said sternly

I rolled my eyes and flopped on the bed, watching Romeo leave out. Once he was fully out I started talking

"You know, you always do 'dis. I will neva' be happy because of you &' Jackson. All y'all do is try ta' control my life! I'm 15, goin' on 16! Don't y'all think it's time for me ta' find somebody?" I said quietly and looking at him

"Jalayah." He sighed, "we just tryna protect ya' beybeh girl. I want you and Romeo ta' be togetha'. Hell we all do-"

"Then why don't y'all let it happen?" I asked

"Because you not ready. You might think you is, but Layah, you not. You not mentally stable for a relationship."

"Well what y'all want me to do? Wait until I'm 21, get my first boyfriend, get my heart broke and never trust a nigga again? Don't y'all think it would be to late fa' another guy to come and try to change my mind on guys? I will be 42 when I finally have a kid and get married tryna go by y'all rules." I said

"Layah. Just not now." He said and walked out

I laid on my back and sighed. I will never get with Romeo, maybe it's just not meant to be

Romeo POV

"Nigga where you been? I was lookin' fa' yo' ass." Jackson said as I walked back into his room

Not really feeling like talking and too deep into thought, I just shook my head and flopped in the bean bag chair

"You ight man?" Jackson asked
