A Girl Who Overcame It All

Moving Day

Today was the day that we finally got to move into our very own house , I just couldn't help but be excited I was finally getting my own room sad to say Mr.Jackson was coming with us but even he couldn't ruin how happy I was right now. There we pulled up to our very own home I couldn't help but race through the front door to see our very own brand new house. I opened the door to see a very large sized living room that led to the dining room , although the kitchen wasn't as big as I had gotten used to but it was still a kitchen in our own home , I just couldn't stopped thinking overjoyed we had finally gotten our own home. My grandmother told me that my room would be on the third level , I couldn't help but bolt all the way up the stairs to my room , swinging the door open to see a very oversized large bedroom I had my own room a big ass room at that.
"Zori come downstairs and help with the boxes" I couldn't but roll my eyes I just wanted to stay in my room longer and I knew for a fact Mr.Jackson was right there not doing shit, but now wasn't the time for me to be brat.
"I'm coming!!" I don't really know what my grandmother needed help with cause when I came downstairs there was only one box literally , but I guess I'll help. After a hour of unpacking everything I couldn't help but race to my room I was too happy to just be able to be alone for once not being bothered not being annoyed and not having to watch what they wanted to watch. I just couldn't wait to tell Erica about my room but before I even got the chance my grandmother called me so I could go to the store for her, and honestly I couldn't help but be agitated cause what does she mean go to the store like I know where that's at I couldn't help but roll my eyes but casually rolled out of bed to head down to my grandmothers room. "Yes" I replied dryly.
" Here take the card and go to the store make sure you get some eggs , a jug of juice and something that you want , Mr.Jackson went out already to get dinner for tonite" I couldn't help but smile when I heard the words "get something you want" I'm sure my grandmother knew me all to well hearing those words she knew I was going to get me some snacks , but I couldn't help but ask " ummm where is the store at anyway" my grandmother rolled her eyes annoyed, like I was really supposed to know where the damn store was we just moved around here.
" girl the store is up the street just walk up one block you'll see it , it's a corner store" I just rolled my eyes and headed out the room so I could go the store. On my way towards the store I had noticed someone I was hoping wasn't who I actually thought it was but sad to say it was and fuck I was wearing the wrong clothes to run into him. I tried my best to casually walk past him as I held my head down , and why did I think that him out of all people wouldn't recognize me and wouldn't pull his signature move.
" Azori I know you wasn't just goin walk pass me like you don't see yo" I couldn't help but roll my eyes at the fact that Zaire was even right there for one and for two that he always had to grab my arm.
" Noooooo I didn't see you there I wasn't focusing on you" I really just wanted to get what I needed from this store and head back home but it seemed like I wouldn't be able to do that with Zaire and his friends around. I couldn't help but noticed hearing one of them yell out " you don't think those shorts to little shorty" I instantly grew angry I hated when people always had something to say like mind your business , but before I could respond Zaire had snatched me by my arm so quick I thought it would break.
" what the fuck dumass you almost broke my arm!!" But the look in my his eyes made me calm down I knew Zaire all to well to know when he had that look that he was not and I mean was not to be fucked with.
"Zaire ....... why" before I could even finish my sentence all I could feel was his breathe against my ear.
" Now why you come out the house like that yo , you barely got any fucking clothes on yo whole ass damn near hanging out" Zaire looked anything but happy , I didn't even notice what I wearing was that bad cause it wasn't like my butt was huge I mean it was there but it wasn't out there like he made it seem.
" first of all my ass ain't hanging out of anything and second of why tf are y'all even staring" . Although I knew deep down seeing Zaire like just did something to me and when I mean it did something to me my whole body felt hot even having him that close to me. Zaire was fine to say the least and he knew it him and his homeboys but I really wasn't paying any attention to them more so Zaire cause at the time his eyes read "I should fuck you up".
"Man look just come on ima walk you to the store and back cause I don't know why you got that on". I really didn't need him to walk me to the story but whatever.
"You going let your homeboys know" I just couldn't help but be sarcastic knowing damn well he ain't care. "Naw they know I'm coming right back".
It took less than 5 mins to get everything I needed from the store , although someone wanted to be a gentlemen and carry the bags. We reached my front door in less than 10 mins. I reached for the bags Zaire had and proceeded to go into the house until he told me " when you put yo stuff down come back out I gah ask you something" I was puzzled by his statement like how did you even know I ain't wan go in the house and stay in the house but I wasn't going say that.
"Rd just let me give my grandmother her stuff I be back" I could feel Zaire's eyes planted to my ass as I walked away.
I let my grandmother know I was back and that I was just going sit on the front steps , she really didn't need to know why or with who and didn't bother to ask either. I just went back outside where Zaire had been waiting for me.
" So what you gah ask me" Zaire didn't really look as mad as he did before he look way calmer now.
" So when you move round here I don't remember you living here before"
"We just moved today"
" Oared that's wassup but yea look you can't be wearing stuff like that for you know these niggas going be on you" I just looked up at him knowing damn well that he still wasn't on the topic of what I was wearing.
"Ok I won't as long as you keep yo eyes off my ass" I couldn't help but roll my neck while looking him straight in his eyes. But what he said next was something that really caught me off guard.
"Man I can look at you foh , it ain't like its the first time" but the look he had on his face I could tell he ain't really mean to say that.
" look goodnight Zaire I'll see you another time rd" at that point all I wanted was to take a shower and lay down.
"Rd Zori ima catch up with you tomorrow night shawty". I watched as he walked up the street towards his homeboys and then went back in the house , trying my hardest to forget his comment.
It felt good to be able to sleep in your own bed. But for some reason what Zaire said couldn't really leave my head I know we were best friends , but what did he mean by "ain't like it's the first time" like that meant he was always looking or he looked before I don't know , I know that I always liked him that wasn't any of his business though.
