Jayda

"Ouch! " I cried a little as I made a mistake and bumped in to the door knob while walking in to Aunt Tasha's house.  

"You okay baby?" She asked. 

"Yeah I'm okay TT. " I smiled. 

"Jay! " I heard Luke yell as he entered the living room coming from the back. 

"Wassup Luke. " I smiled rolling my eyes. 

"Girl don't act like you don't love the homie. " He said coming over to me and giving me a hug making me hug him back. "What you here for? "

"London asked me to come get her a piece of cake that TT baked last night since she not feeling to good."

"What's wrong with her? " He mother asked getting a bit worried. 

"She has a bad cold." I told her what London told me.

"Aye what was Alex talking about? He said she been chilling with a nigga or some like that."

"Umm. I don't know." I said with a nervous chuckle.  Considering I knew everything about August and London. 

"Yes you do! " TT Tasha yelled with a smile.  "Tell me!" She said very excitedly. 

"I'm not allowed." I smiled and she nodded.

"I guess I can wait until she's ready to tell the family. 

" Well go ahead and get her cake it's still some in there in the cake plate. "

"Yes ma'am. "

"Momma I can get another piece please. " Luke begged. 

"Go ahead boy." She said waving him off as she turned the television. 

I walked into the kitchen grabbing a paper plate and a knife.  Taking the lid off the cake plate I cut her a reasonable amount of cake and passed the knife to Luke who was waiting. 

"So when  you gone stop playing and let me take you out Jay?" Luke questioned me and I sighed blushing a little bit,  trying not to let him see. 

"I see you blushing girl. " He laughed a little. 

"Luke you know we like family. " I said as I continued to put the aluminum foil over the plate. 

"Yeah like family.  We been friends all our life.  Give me a chance to try and build some with you.  You act like we blood related. 

" I'll consider it Luke. But we'll have to keep it a secret for  a while because you know how my daddy is."

"I can keep a secret baby." He smirked licking icing from his bottom lip and then softly placing a wet kiss on my forehead making me blush even more.  "I'll text you later and you tell me what you think alright? " He asked and I nodded. 

"Okay." I smiled lightly.

"See ya later beautiful." He walked away not before giving me a wink that gave me butterflies.  I always fronted as if I didn't like him and the attention he showed me but I really loved it.  I've liked him since we were little kids running around together but it got worse when we were teenagers and our hormones started to kick in.  He may have been about a year younger than me but I really didn't care. 

"Bye TT. " I said as I walked out the front door.

"Bye baby girl.  Love you. "

"Love you too."

London

"No London stay in the damn bed before you hurt yourself." August said sternly as I insisted on getting up to make something to eat.  "I know how to cook. " He assured me. 

"Are you sure? I don't need you burning up my home." I question unsure. 

"I'll take that as an insult because you don't know the great damage that Aug could whip up in the kitchen. " He stated cockily patting his chest with a big smile. "Trust me girl. "

"Okay August." I sighed with a smile and he tucked the cover around my body making sure I was cozy and comfortable before kissing my cheek and gave me a warm smile. 

"I'll be back okay. Don't move, Love. "

"Okay I won't.  I promise. " I said looking at him briefly before back at the television. 

"All right na'. " 

About twenty minutes later he appeared back in my room with a place of fried chicken and macaroni with some corn bread.  I smiled and inhaled the nice aroma. 

He sat there plate on my table and helped me sit up before placing it in my lap. 

" Thank you August this smells so good. "

"No problem baby girl.  I told you I was good in the kitchen." He smiled as I took a bite of chicken.  "And in the bed. " He winked before walking into the bathroom as I tried to throw a pillow at him. 

There was a knock on the door interrupting me mid chew.

"I got it. Don't get up." He demanded before leaving out of my room. 

"London!" I heard my name being called . 

"I'm in my room Jay." I said loud enough for her to hear. 

"I got your cake baby!" She smiled making my mouth water at the thought of the pound cake my mother told me she made yesterday.

August handed my the plate that Jayda passed to him with the slice of cake on it. 

"Bitch don't you have a plate of food in front of you right now and you just gonna dig into some sweets."

"But sis I haven't had any snacks all day." I whined

"What ever. Eat your lil shit." She smiled rolling her eyes.
