AAMINA
JOYI could hear myself snoring as I slept. All of a sudden I felt like I was drowning as cold water rushed up my nose and I choked on the water as I started moving my arms like I was swimming. I felt like I was struggling to swim as water kept hittin my face.
"open your eyes Aamina your not in a damn pool!" I heard Dave's voice what the duck was Dave doing here and why am I soaked.Opening my eyes I seen Dave standing in front of me with a empty water bottle.I groaned as he began speaking he was being to loud and it was not helping my headache. I rolled my eyes mocking him under my breath. "Yeah yeah yeah, turn the lights off will ya?" He mugged me with a serious look on his face. Than he started flickering the lights, he's so childish. "Stop!" "Are you gonna listen?" "Yes....father." He ignored my sarcastic remark as he started boring me.
"You are one of the most book smart person I know, but you sure as hell ain street smart." I raised a eyebrow. "I am street smart!" I jumped as he threw the empty water bottle at me. "What the fuck, don't throw shit at me, que mierda te pasa¿!"
"I was trying to get your attention, for you to open up your fuckin eyes, do you know what you just did?!"I shrugged. "No not really."
"Carlos is a Cuban, now you've been seen congratulations you played yourself." I sighed. "That makes a lot of sense." "Than you go out and get drunk with a stranger, were you trying to get raped or killed?!" "Don't yell at me!" "Watchu gon do cry?" I mugged him. "I wa-." I was cut off as I heard glass break than I heard Bobby scream and a car skid off.I jumped out the bed ignoring my headache as me and Dave ran to the living room seeing Bobby holding a brick. "What happened?" "A-a brick came through the window and there was a note attached to it, saying there coming for you Aamina, what the fuck is goin on?!"Bobby asked. "You can't know or else your gonna die." Dave spoke up and Bobby brought his head back. "Aight than."
"Aamina pack your stuff."
"What no."
"Stop acting stupid and go pack your shit you wanna sit around and die or do you want to live, stop acting like a damn child and go pack your shit!" He yelled at me with a whole lot of bass in his voice. I was quiet as Bobby had a 'ooop' look on his face. "You to Bobby pack your stuff." "Ain gotta tell me twice daddy."
Bobby left to his room and I looked back at Dave looking clueless."What are you waiting for!"
I turned around and went to my room to go pack my stuff cus if this is his mad I don't want to see angry."Mhmm still looking shook." Bobby chuckled at me being quiet. " Shut up, I just never seen a guy that angry before." "Mhmm you like that shit don't you, I would to he could yell at me anytime." "I'm no liar so I'm gonna be honest that did sumn to me." "Uh oh Stella finna get her groove back." Bobby chuckled and I rolled my eyes with a small smirk.
"But Mina?"
"Yeah?"
"Are we gonna be okay?"
"I don know all I can do is pray." I sighed. Me and Bobby sat on the couch in the living room quietly thinking the worst. I heard the fridge door open, I looked and seen Dave in the kitchen. "Why does he always look so mean?" Bobby asked. "I don't know I think he's bi-polar." "Aamina if that nigga ever hit you let me know." "Ain gotta tell me twice." "Y'all talk too much shit." "Stay out of our c-." "Don't talk to me Aamina." Dave said as he sat down."What did I do?"
"You disrespect me." I squinted my eyes confused. "How?" "I told you not to talk to anyone else, yet you still went with Carlos, Cuban or not Cuban you didn't care, don't get mad when I don't give you any attention." He said.
"Thank you you'll finally leave me alone." He ignored me as someone rung the doorbell. "Don't listen to her Dave she said she wanted to fuck You she's lying so hard right now,and she said she likes when you yell at her." Bobby spoke up and it was quiet as we all took in what he just said.
I was so embarrassed I just wanted to crawl under a rock and die. Dave got up with a sly smirk on his face I wanted to smack off his face as he went to get the door."Ow!" Bobby squealed as I punched him in his arm. "Why would you say that?" "Cus I was speaking the truth, I know you want him in every way, even if he is a lil bit crazy, y'all good for each other, I am not gonna let you push him away, I'm gonna help you on this dick mission." He told me and I blew air out my nose annoyed. "Love you too bitch!" Bobby said hugging me and I rolled my eyes.
"Aamina ,Bobby y'all gonna need to go upstairs." Dave told us. "Why?"
"There's some people coming over you got no business being around."
"What's wr-."
"Stop askin questions just go upstairs!"
"I think I'll just go explore."
"Fine do whatever,just stay away from the black door."
"Why?"
"Don't worry about it,just stay away from it."
I nodded. "Cmon Bobby let's leave the grouch to his business."
"Bitch you know we going to find that door." Bobby whispered. "Already." I agreed."Damn it's right here." Bobby said. "Check to see what he's doin." I peeked my head out. "I don't see hi-." "Stop being hard headed I told you to stay away from the door." I jumped hearing Dave knowing we were caught we walked away from the door. I got to know what's behind that door.
"Ouuu bitch what if it's like the room from fifty shades of grey?" Bobby squealed. "No I think it's something more than that." Watch I'll figure out what's behind that door, I just gotta know.
