Lover or Friends
Chapter 4/ Party time!
Da'vante POV
I put some of everything onto the tray after I finished warming up the chicken and headed upstairs to my room where Cha'relle was. Once I was in the room I saw that she was sitting in the middle of my bed with her kneed pulled up close to her chest, her arms hugging around her knees and her head resting in-between them. I placed the tray onto the side table before going to the light switch and turning it onto dim. I then went to the DVD player and put in 'Love and Basketball' since it was her favourite movie. Tonight was about her and nothing else, no matter how much Brie is on my mind right now. I turned around to face her to find her still sat in the same position on the bed with her head in her arms.
"Cha'relle" I called out softly. She didn't respond nor did she move. I then crawled on the bed and pulled her onto my lap as I got myself into a more comfortable position. She still didn't look at me but put her head in her hands. I then decided to rub the small on the back in slowly, steady circles that I knew she loved so much.
"Cha'relle your favourite movie is in" I leaned down to whisper in her ear. I pulled my head back to watch her face but she still didn't look up or respond; damn she must be really upset.
Out of impulse I slid my hand under her top to touch the warmth of her flat stomach. Her muscles tighten from my touch. I felt something small, cold and slick on her belly button. I lifted up her top a little to see what it was and saw that it was a belly piercing; when did she get that done? I don't know why but I always thought belly piercing were fucking sexy and seeing it on Cha'relle was getting me-Wow were did that come from?
I let her top fall back down but didn't take my hand of her stomach. I leaned back down to whisper in her ears again because I knew she responded more easily when I done that.
"Cha'relle I know you don't wanna hear me say am sorry again but I really I'm" she still didn't respond but I could feel the muscles in her stomach relax so I knew she was coming around, so I continued "I was out of order and I shouldn't have put the stress that I was feeling onto you" I started to rubbed her belly slowly and pulled her closed into my frame. While my other hand was rubbing her belly my left hand was rubbing up and down her sides. That's when she looked up and looked into my eyes with tears clouding her beautiful honey brown eyes and tear stains on her cheek; I made her cry, what a prick I am. A tear rolled down her cheek and I kissed it away before it could land. She tried to hide her face away from me but I wasn't having it. I took her chin into my hands and turned her back to look at me.
"I'm sorry" I spoke softly, having this need to shower kisses all around her face; now that's a first. She sniffed and wipes away the last tear before speaking up.
"Da'vante you hurt me, a-lot, and I don't understand why you would be so angry at me. You've never shouted at me like that before, ever!" she sniffed. She was right, I had never shouted at her like that.
"Why you angry at me Da'vante?" she whispered barely.
"I anit angry with you, I'm so sorry I hurt you and made you feel like that. Brie's just been acting weird and I don't understand it, it's been messing with my mind for time" I explained. She let out a sign and shrugged her shoulders in surrender. A few silent minutes passed by us before she spoke up
"Hmm I forgive you but if you ever, and I mean EVER, yell at me like that again I swear I won't hesitate to hurt you or forgive you, understand" I nodded and smiled at her remark about hurting me; Cha'relle couldn't hurt a fly yet alone try hurting me.
