Beautiful Imperfections

ELEVEN

"Your lipstick is off."Jackson observed and I came back to reality.

"Yeah I know."

"So you kissed the dick?"

I laughed. I won't die if I played some games.
"Yeah I kissed him."

He looked at me wowed. "You must be kidding me."
"Nope. I'm not. We did it real dirty in there."
He gasped and I bursted into hard laughter.

"Pearl....how.... how could.... how could you?" His voice was shaking which made it even funny. I laughed hard till I cried and he just sat there confused.

"Pearl.... what's so funny?"
I tried to stop laughing but it didn't work.

"You're fucking with me, yeah?"
I nodded still laughing and he grinned. "Damn you're crazy."

I held my chest still laughing and he shook his head.
"You're unbelievable Pearl."

I held my laughter within and said "Shit! I've never seen you so scared."

He chuckled and helped me arrange my hair that had scattered due to my hard laughter. He looked at my face like he was searching for something and said "Your makeup is damaged cause of the whole laughter."

I held his shoulder. "This is the hardest I've ever laughed in my life." I stood up from the seat.
"Where are you going?"

I got out face wipes from my bag. I always carried one in my bag not like it was that essential but because it's what girls do. Just playing along. Lol.
"Cleaning it off in the bathroom."

He nodded like I asked him for permission. I just passed that and walked to Ahneeka who was talking with Trevor.
"Uhm, where's your bathroom." I interrupted rudely. Ahneeka eyed me and I passed that too.

"It's just over there." Trevor pointed to it and I cleared my throat.
"Well I wasn't talking to you."

He smirked. "There are no mirrors in there you know, so you might need some help."

Some way, I wanted his help. Ahneeka would kill me.
"If you want to help me you could join me in the bathroom."

"Oh I changed my mind." He rose his brows and I shook my head.

"Then you'll be here enjoying Ahneeka's company."
He understood exactly what I meant and I walked towards the bathroom feeling like a champion.

Collins and Janie came out of the room finally.

I closed the door of the bathroom behind me. Her toilet was clean but the sink had some stains. There were no mirrors as he said. I waited for a while for him to show up but I didn't see him. Okay, I'll do this on my own. I pulled out one from the pack and started cleaning from my cheek.

I was aware that I wasn't going to do a perfect job and my phone wasn't with me. I would have used the front camera or something else. Oh well. I cleaned my left eyelid. I was still expecting him. I wondered but I knew that if he wouldn't eventually show up I would feel bad. I took in a deep breath and the door opened.

Oouuuu! He really came. I turned my back so he won't see the big grin on my face. He couldn't bear Ahneeka and somehow I was already enjoying his presence.

"Pearl."

I cleared my throat and turned. Whatttttt!!! I rolled my eyes in disappointment. It was Brad.
"Oh hi Brad." I faked a smile.

"You need help?" His eyes were on the dirty wipe in my hand. Yes, I needed help but sorry, not from you. I wanted someone else.

"Yeah..." I said sadly and he came closer to me collecting the dirty one in my hand. "Uhh, a cleaner one will do."

He smiled. "I thought as much." He threw the other one in the trash can close to the sink and got out another one. Sincerely, I wasn't happy.

He started with my forehead and I chuckled.
"You're being too careful."

"If I do this hard I might hurt you."

"It won't rub off fast. You could add a little pressure."

He chuckled. "Aiight." I felt the pressure I asked for. He placed his finger on my chin to raise my head a little and he cleaned my other cheek slowly reducing the pressure.

I looked at his lips. Those lips were too sexy. I closed my eyes and he put his other hand on my waist.
"You're beautiful."

"Thank you."

He chuckled again. "Are you done thinking?"
"The day isn't even over Brad."

He cleaned my eyelids. "Sorry I'm impatient."
I heaved. "That's the thing. Everything is just sudden."

He cleaned my cheek and chin then got another one and cleaned off everything. I assumed cause he stopped. I opened my eyes.

"It's not my fault I'm being impatient."

"So, I'm saying you should be patient with me. This will take a long period of time and you've got to chill." My voice was low so was his.
"My chill is on a zero."

"Then you're not ready cause relationships work with patience. Alot of patience and if you can't do that then..."
He put his finger on my lips to silent me. " I will be patient. Stop being too exhausting." He smirked and I chuckled then he added. "I'll take things slow."

He pecked my lips and I ducked my head away. "You're still doing thesame...."

"No this time. I couldn't resist even a peck." He said and I blushed.

"Thanks."

We held hands and he said. "Anything for my incoming girlfriend."

We walked out of the bathroom together and I took my seat beside Jackson. My eyes were on Trevor who was talking to Ahneeka. He was engrossed in their conversation and it was disturbing. So, he really chose her over me. I removed my attention from them and turned to Jackson.
"Who're those in the closet now?"

"Kelvin and Delilah."

Delilah should be someone I don't know. I was getting tired of this boring game. It's fun when you're the one in the closet with someone. My eyes went back to Trevor and that girl.
"Okay can we do something fun." I said out loud and Janie rose her hand. "This game is killing vibes."

Ahneeka pouted. "Everyone hasn't played."

"Well, we are tired. Let the damn party begin." Kelvin said and everyone agreed with us. Ahneeka was annoyed but she had no choice since no one was interested in playing the game. She looked at him, Trevor, and he shrugged. She struggled to take in a deep breath which was incredibly satisfying to watch.

The music got louder and everyone was dancing. I was with Janie. Few minutes later, I got a text from my mom.

**when will you girls be home?**

**soon**

I sent back to her and she didn't reply. She was already worried. Maybe I should be getting home now.

"Janie I'm leaving!" I tried to beat the music with my voice.

"Ohhh okay. Should kelvin take you home?"

Should he? Nahh.

"I'll be fine." I said and got my phone to download the uber app quickly. I wanted the app instead of using the website. I finished downloading it and immediately I ordered for a ride. She stood up and left. What a friend.

I decided to inform him before leaving cause that was appropriate so I looked around the house and didn't find him. I bumped into David and he walked away. He should stop being childish. I followed him and held his hand.
"David...."
"What do you want?" He wasn't nice at all. I heaved. Maybe, I should just go straight to the point.
"Do you know where Trevor is?"
"He's in the bathroom......with Ahneeka."
