TOO LATE. (Urban Teen Fiction)

Chapter. 23 Past life

Dre POV

It has been a week's time and Tara hadn't said much to me and barely comes over. I was upset at first, but she has her reasons. The last conversation we had lead back to her question on the phone. I admitted to her that I loved her, but we both kind of knew deep down that it wasn't the love she wanted. Which lead me to think what was keeping me from loving her.

It was the weekend and everybody from school was going skating. I would have went but I just didn't feel the need to go. Jasmine decided to come over since her mom had went out of town to visit her sister. Juan was gone majority of the day, and Jasmine didn't feel like being left alone. 

So we decided to make it a home movie night, my mom was working so we had the house to ourselves. For some reason, I didn't know why but she was a big Tyrese fan, so she wanted to watch BABY BOY, and WAIST DEEP. Go figure, I guess since we in Cali.

I brought up a blanket from my room as we got comfortable on the couch in the living room, and popped in BABY BOY.  She rested her head on my chest as I laid there on the couch. My phone started to vibrate in my pocket from it being only 15% before powering off. 

TARA POV

"Girl come out I'm here".

"I told you that I'm good I just want to stay home".

"Don't make me come in there and drag you out".

"Just go without me".

"You can't stay up in the house waddling in your sorrow over some nigga, let's go".

"Ok damn here I come, give me a min".

I got dressed and walked outside and got into Stacy car, since she would not leave me alone. She was so bent on me going skating with her. We arrived at the skating rink, and I really wasn't in the mood to be here. I sat around as Stacy and a few of the girls skated around flirting with the boys who came from our school.

As I sat at the table looking through the millions of texts Dre sent me, I became more irritated about being here.

"Well hello, why are you sitting here looking so lonely but beautiful at the same time".

I looked up to see who was talking to me, when I noticed this tall fine guy hovering over me. "Uhm thanks for the complement, but I'm not lonely, just don't want to be here".

"Well your here so you might as well enjoy yourself, do you mind if I sit down"?

"Go ahead".

"By the way I'm Juan, what's your name, if you don't mind me asking" .

"Tara".

"So you here alone" ?

"No came with some friends".

"Some friends, to leave you here all by yourself".

"They just wanted me to get out the house, since I'm going through something's with my boyfriend".

"He must be a bum nigga to have you upset, and not be here with you as sexy as you are".

"No me and him been going through some up and downs".

"Well how about I take you out of your down moments and lift them up".

"Thanks but that's ok".

"Come on just give me a chance, I promise you won't regret it".

He took my hand as he lead me onto the skating floor.  He guided me around as we danced and skated around the rink. The dj came over the speakers announcing couple skate, that's when he pulled me into his strong arms. The dj played my favorite song (Ride), by Somo. I laid my head against his chest as I sang along to the lyrics.
