Dancing With Lies

Best Friends

    I have just finished unpacking and am getting dressed. I'm choosing to wear a pair of Khaki shorts and a light blue sweater vest. I attempt to tame my hair but my curls can't be tamed so I just arrange them to look more presentable. I sigh and look at myself in the mirror. There's nothing special about me, I look quite dull actually. Normal weight, I'm a bit on the short side.
    My light brown hair is always a mess on my head, I'm pale, probably have some Russian in me. My eyes are a pale Hazel color. Mostly green, but there is some blue and brown in there. I was left at a church, Jackle heard about me from his mother. He decided to adopt me. I had been an Alter boy for a few months.
    My lips are plump, they're naturally pink. I get asked if I'm wearing chapstick a lot. I do have a bit of a butt, well, a lot of a butt actually. If I have any fat, that's where it's at. I turn my head and grab my keys. I managed to do a lot of unpacking and setting up, it's now around 5 pm.
    I take a breath and shut my front door, locking it. I head across the street and knock. After about a minuet a tall dark skinned man answers the door. He has dreadlocks to his shoulders and very plump lips. He's older looking, later forties, early fifties. He's wearing a colorful shirt and blue shorts.
    "And you are?" He asks me, raising an eyebrow. He has dark brown eyes, and a deep voice. His accent is very strong. Definitely Jamaican. "Hello sir, I'm your new neighbor, I believe your daughter Jamila invited me over, if that's ok with you" I reply smiling slightly.
    He narrows his eyes a bit and yells Jamila's name. I hear a thumping and then see Tiki burst out from under the man, tackling me and licking me. Jamila follows shortly after. She pops her head out the door then shrieks. "Omg I didn't think you'd actually come! Welcome to the neighborhood".
    She smiles and lunges for me hugging me. This knocks Tiki off of me. The man at the door smiles and opens the door wider. "Welcome to my home, I am Kain" He says helping me up after Jamila detached herself from me. "Likewise" I smile and head towards the door.
    Jamila is rambling on about how I shouldn't feel awkward when I enter the backyard and to not worry about something. I don't quite understand what she means until I enter the backyard. I'm the whitest person there, everyone is dark. That's not what scared me though, I immediately see what she's referring to, she has at least six older brothers. She must be the only girl.
    They're all giving me the death stare. I gulp and try to smile. It's dead silent in the backyard. Kain breaks the silence "Thanks for coming everyone, we have a special guest, our new neighbor...eh I don't know your name". Everyone looks at me. Jamila interrupts before I can answer "his name is Ezera, and he's adorable". I blush and wave a little to everyone.
    A woman with long box braids walks over, she is about an inch taller than Jamila. The woman smiles at me, she has a very light complexion. "I'm Jamila's mom, Aria". I go to shake her hand "I'm Ezera, it's a pleasure to meet you, ma'am". Instead of taking my hand she hugs me. She lets go and rushes off when she notices one of, what I assume is her sons sneaking food off of the table.
  "Everyone! Ezra is my new bestie" Jamila declares out of nowhere. I do enjoy her presence, she seems fun to be around. Suddenly a hand wraps around my shoulder, almost covering it completely. " I'm Deedric, Jamila's older brother". The mans voice is deep, very deep. I glance over my shoulder, Deedric is dark, very dark, like his dad. His voice is smooth.
    "Nice to meet you" I manage to squeak out. "I hope you're not planning on dating my sister, she's off limits" his grip tightens just a tad. "Ah, your sister is very beautiful, but I don't really swing that way". I manage to wiggle out of his grip and stand next to Jamila. She smiles even bigger and grabs my arm pulling me away. "I called it" she says.
    I am very feminine, I look to where she is taking me and it's towards a set of twins, this is going to be a long barbecue.
