Difficult relationship

022

"How could she!" My tv said from the living room. I wasn't even watching it and I knew I was going to hate it. I grab a hold of my pop corn and make my way to the living room. I haven't left my house since that conversation with Jesse .. which was almost a week ago. Which also means Ashley is coming back this week so back to school I go tomorrow.

Ding Dong
As I walked to the door I peaked through the window and saw that it was Darius. I looked horrible and I haven't really been on the hygienic side as of lately.

I was going to ignore it and let him leave but then seconds later I saw Jesse coming across the street. The look on her face wasn't pleasant either. "Great!" I say as I open the door with a fake smile.

"Ah, Rose" he says with the biggest smile. He had a box of chocolates in one hand and flowers in the other. Pretty sweet of him. "Darius? Come in" I say as I clear the path into my almost clean house. He came in with no hesitation looking around in wonder. I pretended I didn't see Jesse as I closed the door before she could get here. "So how do you know where I live?"

"Chrissy told me and Kevin when you first got back" he confessed. He put the flowers and chocolates on the table. "Look.. I've been meaning to ask you.." he says but I quickly cut him off and ask "Wait- Chrissy has been talking about me?" I was shocked. We still haven't talked. I've been  in touch with Lorenzo but she's to stubborn to even look my way even if we're in the same room.

He nodded in confusion. "Every time she came over we talked about you.. all good things of course." Hopefully she'll talk to me next, because I need real advice.

"Well What brings you here?" I ask as I sat on the couch filled with every kind of empty chip bag you could ever imagine.. even chili Fritos.

He gave me this dorky smile. "I was just coming to see if you were really back.. and I uh was just wondering if you wanted to... you know like.. go to the carnival with me next week?" He finally lets out.

It's been a minute since I went on a date honestly. Why the hell not? Jesses dating and clearly whatever we have wasn't enough for her to keep her legs closed. "If you can ask me while I look like this and still be nervous yes, I'll go with you" I joked.

He smiled this little cute boy smile. "I thought you'd dodge me because you know your friend kept saying you were busy" he laughed. Friend? "What friend?" I ask in confusion. Chrissy and Lorenzo wanted me and him together ever since we were little.

"Some Jesse girl" AHHH makes sense now. "The whole time you were gone every time I seen her she looked pissed"

"Don't mind her, she's like a big brother to me" Yes I casually lied, but so what ? Does she even care. "I'm going to go shower make your self at home" I say as I walk off.

As time passed I waited for Jesse to go in her house so I could sneak Darius out. As much as she hurt me I don't want anybody else feelings being dragged.

"I really have to go" he said as he wrapped his arms around my body. "Unless you want me to stay.." I looked at the time and it was getting pretty late and we definitely don't need to be moving fast. The only person I've gotten far enough with is Jesse and now that I know I'm letting that situation go I have to be careful with my feelings

"Okay, you should get going" I say as I push him towards the door. Once we left out I see Jesse across the street sitting on her porch with a very angry facial expression. I kissed his cheek and watched him get in his car. When he pulled off Jesse made her way across the street again. Just as I was about to slam the door in her face she put her foot in my door way. "Can we talk?" She asked as she opened my front door.
