I woke up to my phone ringing and I was pissed about it. One thing I hated more than somebody playing with my food was somebody waking me out my sleep. I took my time answer because whoever it was would have to wait until I did my morning routine. When I came from the bathroom, I seen it was going on 9 o'clock and JaMar called and texted asking if I wanted to go grab some breakfast since his auntie and cousins were on their way school shopping. I cussed him out for waking me up but agreed and went to my closet to slip something on. I called him and told him I was walking out. I prayed I didn't run into Mickey on my way out. I told twin where I was going and grabbed my things before leaving out the room. I walked toward the front door before I heard my mom voice, "And where do you think you're going this early young lady?" I turned to her, "JaMar asked if I wanted to grab breakfast. I thought you were gone so I was going to text you about it when I got outside. I didn't think you would mind." I knew my mom didn't really mind as long as we checked in with her and shared our location. I didn't mind doing so because I never did anything I couldn't tell her about. She was dressed casual and looked like she was going to do a side job. "You sure are spending time with him. I don't mind. Bring me back a breakfast sandwich. I have to go meet with this couple about planning their daughter's sweet 16 so you may have to meet me at the office." I nodded and gave her a kiss before going outside while my phone started ringing. When I stepped out I seen JaMar with the phone up to his ear. "You can hang up, I'm right here." He looked at me like he had a small attitude. "I thought you stood me up. I was about to come knock on your door." I rolled my eyes and tossed him the keys and went to the passenger seat. Before I could open the door, he did and told me to never attempt to open my own door when I was with him. I laughed him off and got in before he closed it and went to the driver side. 

We decided on this new breakfast spot in Royal Oak. It was somewhat empty which I was glad for because I was hungry and the less people the quicker. We were seated before the waitress gave us a menu and took our drink orders. "You ready for your road test tomorrow?" I looked at him with a duh face. "I don't mind being driven around but I be having things that I need to do and I don't always wanna ask my mom or Khya. I'm actually nervous though." I wasn't that good at parallel parking and hoped that the experience I did have was enough. I wasn't about to fail a second time. We made small conversation and ate. JaMar cleared his throat, making me look at him. "So what made you not want to date? I know your family said that to be cautious with you but why?" I wasn't ready for this conversation but I knew it was going to come up. I had a mental debate with myself about if I was ready to open up about it. I figured why not, since he was supposed to be my bestfriend. "I've witnessed how ugly love could be. I mean ugllllllly. I didn't want to be in love or allow myself to date because that eventually leads to being in love. I've had one heart break in my life and knew that was the only heart break I needed. My family are the only one who could get love from me. I seen how dumb love will make people and in my opinion it's not worth it, at all." He shook his head and went back to eating his food. What was the point? After what felt like 5 minutes of silence, he finally decided to say something. "I'm not trying to rush you at all but I think  you should reconsider. I want to grow with you. I want to show you that love is real and it don't hurt. I want to be that person you can lean on outside of family. I'm not trying to be friend zoned forever but if it does come down to that I want you to at least experience love." I got what he was saying but I don't know if I was ready. I changed the subject and started talking about school. I was excited to start and get it over with. After we finished eating, he paid the bill and I ordered mom's food. I texted her asking for her location before she shared it and we headed to the office.

Her office was located maybe 10 minutes from our home on Telegraph and 14 mile. I got out the car and told him I would be right back before I got out and went to take her the sandwich and drink I grabbed her. I went to her office and knocked before she told me to come in. I hurriedly gave her her food, gave her a kiss on the cheek, a $50 bill and left. I wanted to buy her lunch since I was going to work and wouldn't be able to take her. I went back to the car and got out before we headed home. I told him I was just going to grab my work stuff and then find somewhere to shower. I knew Khya and them would probably already be gone and I didn't want to be home alone with Mickey so I was going to avoid that at all cost. I went in and grabbed what I needed. I was trying to find someone house who stayed close by the job but everyone stayed the opposite way. Then JaMar told me I could come over and take a shower at his place and chill until it was time for me to go to work since he was more than likely going to have to take me. I couldn't wait until tomorrow. 

He unlocked the door and showed me to his room that was located in the basement. I didn't think their house was this big inside. The basement was like it's own apartment. It had a small lounge room that was painted a black brick color, he had a sectional down here with 3 gamer chairs. He had a full bathroom down here, the laundry room, and then a door which lead to his room. He opened the door and I expected it to be a little junky but instead it was clean as hell. Nothing looked out of place and everything was coordinated nicely. It was only 12 so I had some time. I kicked my shoes off and put them by the bed and set my alarm to 1:45. I decided to lay on his bed and watch videos until I had to get ready. He came over to me and slapped my phone out my hand and I jumped up and slapped the back of his head. We started play fighting until I got tired and pushed him off me and straight on the floor. He got up and laid his big self on me. I was tired and wanted to kick him but he was too heavy. He rolled over and pulled me on top of him. I wouldn't lie and said that this moment didn't have me feeling some type of way but I wasn't about to go there. 

It seemed like the time went by fast and I got up and got ready for my shower. I took my work clothes in there and started the shower. I asked JaMar for a towel and wash rag and decided to wait on him to come back before I started to undress. Once he came back he closed the door and I started to undress and get in. I hurried and washed my body 3 times and washed my hair. I got out and seen my things were missing. I was really going to beat JaMar's ass. I opened the door and yelled his name. He wanted to ignore me and I knew once I got my stuff back I was going to beat his ass. I wasn't about to play games with him. I knew I had no choice but to go get my stuff. 

I used my hands to cover as much as I could and ran to his room. He was sitting on the bed looking in his phone trying not to laugh and he didn't even know he was about to get his life took. "Oh that's funny huh? I really want to beat your ass bro. Why would you do that? Where is my shit at? I should splash yo ass with water. But it's cool, I promise I will get you get." I was so mad I couldn't stop pacing and when I looked at him I seen he was staring at me with a hard on and that's when I realized I was still naked. I decided to tease him and knocked my clothes on the floor and bent over and picked them up. I knew he was going to be stuck. I don't know what gave me the confidence to do this but I did. I walked out seductively and went back to the bathroom to get dressed. I was plotting on him and knew I was going to have to get him back ten times worse.
