Something Different [gxg] [ON HOLD]

THUD

"Shit!"

It was Wednesday night and Imani was scrambling around her room trying get ready for her date. Ashley was coming over for dinner, she'd also finally meet Chris. It's not that she needed his approval, but  Chris is basically the only father figure in her life. Sure she's always had Ada, seeing as their parents weren't really functioning in the parenting department, but Chris was something she always longed for. A dad. Yeah it sounds weird but it wasn't in a creepy way, it was in a 'since I know Ada will say no, I'm going to ask Chris' way. He was very protective of the girl too, seeing her as a daughter more than a sister.

The door creaked open and Chris popped his head in. His dirty blond hair quaffed nicely and his graying stubble freshly groomed. His brown eyes jolted down and saw Imani on the ground. One thick brow went up, "you alright kid?"

She said nothing as she gave a thumbs up and scrambled up. She huffed as she leaned against her bed, "yeah man, devil just caught me slippin' a lil. I bounced back though...we good." She said reassuring  him. He looked for awhile longer before shrugging and walking out.

She grabbed her phone—the coral colored iPhone XR—and planned on continuing what she originally ran across her room for. She looked through her text with Ashley real quick just to see if she said anything else while she was getting dressed. Noticing there was nothing she tossed it back on her bed and went to her vanity. She decided to keep it simple but cute, her eyes covered in beautiful neutral colors while her lips were covered in a glass like gloss. When getting dressed she picked a beige Balenciaga sweater that ended a little above her knees and black flats with matching thigh highs. She pulled her hair back into a large puff to show off her hoops and industrial bar that went through her right ear. She stoop up to walk downstairs when she stopped. God her thighs looked big in these socks, wasn't black slimming? She pinched and prodded at them for a few before deciding to go change them. Before she could make it to her dresser she heard Ada call for her.

"Mani! Ashley's here!"

She let out a huff knowing she couldn't change. Hopefully Ashley doesn't look at them too hard. She padded downstairs and saw her new girlfriend holding onto a bouquet of sunflowers and daisies.

"Oh my, Ashley. You didn't have to get me anything." Imani said taking the flowers to get a better look.

Ashley shoved her hands into her pockets, "yeah but I saw them when I was coming here and they reminded me of you." She was thanked with a quick kiss on the cheek.

"Thank you. I'm gonna go put these in a vase" Imani walked off oblivious to the hazel eyes that stared her form down.

'God, those legs. I'd give five years off my life to be between them.' Pink lips were caught between teeth as Ashley thought.
