Crazy For U

The more I get to know

I couldn't help but stare at her even as she chastised us. Her hazel eyes dancing in the moonlight putting me in a trance like state.  The wind pushing and pulling strands of curly hair across her face. Her voice so sultry and smooth. She snapped her fingers in front of my face "hello is anybody there?" she asked.
I tried to answer but my mouth couldn't seem to find words to say.
"Come on" she continued "it's dangerous out here."
Laurent and I followed her like two lost puppies. We walked to a highrise building with a broken elevator.
"I hope you guys are in shape. I live on the 6th floor." She said motioning for us to follow her. After the hike up 6 flights of steps and a walk to the end of a long hallway we finally reached her apartment. She turned the key in the lock and opened the door. The scent if Jasmine and chamomile escaping from the inside tickling our noses. I couldn't help but look around the well decorated apartment. The inside definitely didn't match the outside. She told us to make ourselves at home as she went into her bedroom to change. Suddenly there was a high pitched shriek.
"Oh my god your Les Twins" the voice said I turned to see a girl about the age of twelve maybe thirteen standing there.
I stood up and gave the young lady a hug I'm always happy to meet a fan.
Blu stepped out of her room with a pair of pajama shorts and a tank top.
"Imani why are you still up?" She asked her arms folded across her chest.
"Waiting for you." Imani responded.
"Okay I'm here now go to bed you have school tomorrow."
Imani reluctantly went to her room.
"Your daughter is beautiful." Laurent complimented.
Blu laughed.
"What so funny?" Laurent asked looking confused.
"She's not my daughter she's my sister. I have been taking care of her since our mom ran out on us."
That confession pulled at my heart. I couldn't imagine Maman ever leaving us.
"I'm sorry I'm so rude do you guys want something to drink?" She said walking towards the kitchen. I watched as her ass bounced in the shorts she was wearing losing my train of thought.
"Yes water please." Laurent and I said.
"So what's your name?" I finally got the courage to ask.
"My name is Kehlani but people just call me Blu."
"That's a beautiful name." I said.
"So are you guys going to tell me why you were following me?"
Laurent looked at me and I blushed.
"I wanted for ask you out." I said sheepishly.
It was her turn to blush.
"Look I am really flattered. But...."
Before she could finish her sentence Imani blurted out "she accepts."
We all laughed before Blu sternly told her to go to bed.
"I guess I'm going." She said as she shrugged her shoulders.
I was so caught up in the conversation I didn't realize we never told her who we were.
"I sorry my name is..."
"Larry and he's Laurent. I already know who you two are."
I forgot we were famous for a minute.
"I have confession to make I saw you the day before in studio dancing you are incredible. How you learn for dance like that."
"I never learned to dance I was born to dance. I been dancing since before I came out the womb."
Now she had both of our attention.
"When I wake up in the morning all I want to do is dance when I go to sleep at night all I want to do is dance. I dream about dancing when I'm sleep. It's my getaway my peace of mind."
The only people I know who talks like that is me and my brother. The more I talked to her the more interesting she became. Because she is the sole provider for her sister she works three jobs she said she almost saved enough to get her and her sister out of the hood. I asked her about the guys she was talking to. She told me that most of them were her cousins they are overprotective over her and Imani. She said though she doesn't agree with their life choices she knows that no one would dare to mess with her or her sister. We sat and talked more getting to know each other. When I looked out the window the sun was peeking in the sky. Sheesh didn't know that so much time had passed. I looked down at my phone Eleni had been been texting us non stop. I called her and told her we were okay. When I turned back around Blu was curled up fast asleep on the chair she was sleeping in. I picked her up and carried her to her bed pulling the blanket around her. Laurent and I stretched out on the couches and went to sleep. It was maybe 12 in the afternoon when we woke up. I stretched and stood to leave. She asked us to stay and eat breakfast before we left.  After breakfast she walked us down to the car waiting for us before we pulled off she handed me a piece of paper with the words call me sometimes with her number written on it. She kissed me on my cheek and turned to walk away. I was on cloud nine even though I knew Eleni was going to kill us.
