Ever since that night Chris and I made up, something has been a little off about him. Sometimes when we're in the same room together, I feel eyes burning on me. I just shake it away, but when I look at him he seems to look away at something else or pretend like he's texting on his phone. It's starting to scare me more and more I think about it, so I just try to avoid being in the same room as him.
Anyways, I put my key in the door and unlocked it. I closed and locked it behind me, throwing down my back and kicking off my shoes. Karrueche was sitting on the couch, flipping through channels. She gave me a quick glare and focused on the back on the TV. I looked her up and down. Who the hell does this bitch think she is?
I waved her off and made my way to the kitchen. Ain't nobody got time for all that. Usually she's nice to me, but something is off about her too. Ususally she would be jumping on me and squeezing me to death, but she just faxed me with the cold shoulder. Something strange is going on in this house. or maybe it's just me. I don't know, maybe I'm becoming more japanese than black.
I dug around in the frigde for something to eat. Damn, the only thing we have is cool whip and mustard? A nigga can't be eating like this. I shook my head and put my shoes back on. Karrueche glared at me again.
"Where you going?" She barked.
"Somewhere you ain't. Tell Chris and Chresanto I'll be back later." I barked back.
Before she could say anything else, I slammed the door and made my way towards the store. I really don't want to hear her fucking mouth right now. I'm already in a pissy mood and I will beat ass today.
Anyway, I'm made my way into Smashburger and someone bumped into me. I fell on the floor and smacked my head against the tile floor. When I tell you that I was TWO fucking inches away from fucking a nigga up.
"You ok, Miss?" A soft voice said.
I looked and my eyes widened. A sexy boy around my age had a nervous smile his big lips. I was in a haze of his beauty. He had short, black curls and he was muscular. His shirt was loose, but it looked like he had a six pack underneath. He had long eye lashes, which complimented his dark, brown eyes. I just sat and stared.
"Um, Miss?" He said.
I blinked a few times to gain my conciousness. He lightly chuckled and pulled up off the floor. We were about to inches away from each others faces. I could feel his warm minty breath dance on my lips. Is it safe to say that I was in love?
"You ok, Miss?" He said.
I watched his lips and nodded, breathlessly. He smiled a warm smile. I couldn't help but smile back at this gorgeous man. He licked his lips. Good Lawd.
"Your Chilombo Brown, right?" He said.
"Y-yeah that's me. H-how did you kn-know?" I stuttered.
"I know your btother, Chres. We're real cool." He said.
I nodded and put my head down to blush. He knows my name.
"I'm Daniel by the way." He said, holding out his hand.
"Nice to meet you, Daniel." I blushed.
My face was probably red as hell right about know. But I don't care. Daniel was fine as hell and I'm not going to blow any chances I might have with him. Daniel took my hand and led me outside so we wouldn't block anyone from coming in. We decided to just start walking toward the Radmine mountain area.
"You sure your ok?" Daniel asked, shoving his hands in his pockets.
"Yeah I'm fine now." I blushed, looking down at my shoes.
He stopped me and lifted my chin by his two fingers. My his soft eyes seemed to kiss mine. My knees grew weak and I felt butterflies flap like hell in my stomach. He licked his plump lips again and spoke.
"Don't do that. Your gorgeous. Let it show." He said, pecking my cheek.
Good gawd. I swear I almost died. I blushed even harder. His lips were so soft. He smiled with his pearly whites. I smiled back. He took my hand we started walking again.
*******
"So wait, you're telling me you don't like dumb girls?" I gasped.
"I like you don't I?" Daniel said, kissing my hand.
I giggled a little and he let out a little laugh. The past few hours with Daniel have been wonderful. We have so much in common. His Mama passed away too, but now he lives by himself. He's been through so much like I have, and yet he's such a strong, beautiful, soul. He makes me feel like me again. He even asked me on a date, which I gladly accepted. He's just so perfect.
"It's getting kind of late, Beautiful. We should probably get you back home." Daniel said.
"Do I have to go back?" I groaned.
"Unless you wanna live with me?" He said, nugding me.
I shoved him and he grabbed my waist and spun me around. I giggled and screamed as he out me down, but he still had one arm around my waist. To be honest, I liked it there. It made me feel safe. It made me feel like I'm not an orphan and like I matter to the world. Yeah, that's how Daniel made me feel.
"So what's a fine gentleman like you doing without a lady?" I asked.
"I was holding on to something that wasn't mine anymore. It stopped me from seeing the world. Shit, it stopped me from living. I had to finally let go." Daniel said.
I nodded. Damn I feel him. Basically me and August's situtation. It had a hold on me and I was holding onto it. It took me forever to let go. Danny grabbed my hand and held it tight.
"But when I first laid eyes on you, I knew there was hope." He said, looking me into my eyes.
I bit my lip an looked down. Daniel got closer to me and lifted my chin by his fingers. His eyes met mine. We were so close, I could feel his minty breath against my lips again. His lips two inches away from mine.
"What I tell you about that, baby?" He whispered.
I couldn't resist anymore. Fuck August. His lips met mine and instant sparks flew. It felt like I was on cloud nine. Daniel wrapped his arms around my waist and slid his hands down to my ass. I wrapped my arms around his neck. Everything felt right. Everything was right. I know it's so sudden, but Daniel is special. He's different. I never wanted this to end.
Daniel gentley broke this kiss. I pouted.
"Did I do something wrong?" I asked.
"No, but it looks like your big bro think I did." Daniel said, looking up at the window.
I looked up to see Chris with a twisted look on his face. I quickly looked down. I'm in so much trouble. I kissed Daniel one last good time.
"I'll see you at school tomorrow." I smiled.
Daniel smiled back and pecked my lips. I blushed and ran up the steps to the door and closed it behind me. I took a deep breath and smiled looking up at the ceiling. I'm so in love right now. Chris cleared his throat. I look down to see Chris, Karrueche, and my GodFather, Mijo, staring at me with a twisted face.
"Where the fuck have you been?" Chris snapped.
"Yeah, we was worried about you, Boe." Mijo chimed in.
I rolled my eyes and walked past them, but Karrueche grabbed my arm.
"He asked you a question, Chilombo." She sassed.
I just smiled a petty smile in her face. She isn't getting me down. After an amazing night, no one can kill my vibe.
"You know, I was going spit in your fucking face, but after the amazing night I just had, you can't bring me down." I said, gliding past them to the stairs.
"Oh, and if you must know, I was being a main chick, not a side piece."
And with that, I left her in awe. I could Mijo laughing his high ass off. I giggled a littl myself
as I closed my door and threw my clothes off. It feels so sweet to be the main.
