The Boy Next Door | LaMelo Ball

|44|

The next day, LaMelo and I both go shopping for homecoming outfits.

We end up picking black as our theme color because we are saving red for prom.

When the day of homecoming finally comes I have me mom straighten my hair and then she curls it.

I do my make-up and I put on my dress and shoes.

"Oh my gosh, you look so pretty!" My mom says once I walk into the kitchen.

"We have to go take pictures!" She says taking out her camera.

I pose for a few pictures until the doorbell rings.

I have my mom answer it because I know it's LaMelo.

"Awe look at you! You're so handsome!" My mom takes pictures of LaMelo.

"Thanks," LaMelo replies.

He walks into the kitchen.

Once he sees me his jaw drops.

"Damn..." He says.

I blush looking away.

"My girl is the most beautiful women I've ever seen!" LaMelo says pulling me close to him.

"Awe, let's get a picture of you two!"

My mom snaps a few photos of us.

"Oh yes, y'all out here lookin like models!" My mom hypes us up.

Once we make it to the school, LaMelo and I walk to the school.

"It's in the gym right?" LaMelo asked.

He has an arm around my waist and I smile to myself.

"Um, yeah I believe so." I say.

LaMelo let's go of me and he looks at me shaking his head.

"What?" I asked.

"You just look so fucking sexy!" LaMelo says.

He pokes my butt.

"And your ass is looking real thick!" He laughs.

I giggle at him blushing. "Stop,"

"Let me get a picture real quick!" LaMelo says taking out his phone.

I pose for a picture.

LaMelo takes a picture of me and he starts typing.

"Let me see it!" I say to him.

"Nah, you'll see it later!"

"LaMelo!" I groan.

"Oh yeah, say my name like that I like it!" LaMelo laughs running away from me.

"Hey!" I exclaim. "I can't run in these heels!"

"Sounds like a personal problem!" LaMelo says.

I try to walk faster and LaMelo laughs.

"I'm just playin with you ma!" LaMelo walks back to me.

He grabs me by my waist and he picks me up.

"Stop, you are going to drop me!" I laugh. 

LaMelo runs towards the gym and then he puts me down.

"Before we go in, I have to tell you something?" LaMelo says.

I turn my full attention towards LaMelo. "What's up?"

He looks at me letting out a sigh. "You know what, it can wait!"

"Tell me Melo," I look up at him with a frown.

"Okay, I'm um-"

"-LaMelo come in here bro!" We both look up to see one of LaMelo's friends.

I see Giselle and some of my other friends wave me over.

"You wanna just tell me later?" I asked LaMelo.

He nods his head. "Later?- I...yeah yeah, later!"

Weirdo.

"Okay," I get on my tippy toes and I kiss LaMelo on the cheek.

He walks over to his friends and I do the same.

"Y'all lookin' stunning as always!" I say giving everyone a hug.

"You too girl!" Giselle smiles.

The song 'Wobble by V.I.C' comes on and me and my friends all get hyped and we make our way to the dance floor.

Right after that the song 'Single Ladies by Beyonce' comes on.

"All the single ladies. All the single ladies. Now put your hands up!" Beyonce's voice says through the speaker.

My friends at I throw our hands up.

I feel a hand on my ass and then it starts to sting.

"Put your hands down you ain't single!" I hear LaMelo say.

I laugh at him.

"Crazy ass!" I giggle.
