Reece's POV
I walked across the landing after going to the corner shop to get some sweets and smiled remembering the events of today. Now don't get it twisted I'm still pissed that Bianca fucked up my trainers but if there was one thing I loved more than money was pissing Bianca off - she was so easy to wind up. I stopped walking and walked over to the balcony railing and leaned on it with my arms, looking out at the blue skies. I know this may sound a bit moist, but I've always liked looking out at the sky when it reaches Sunset. The changing colours of purple, orange and pink, illuminate the sky and make it seem more colourful...more alive. I think that's why I liked jamming with the Bryan family. They're different; and not just because they come from an Island in the midst of the Caribbean, that most don't even know exist. They just have that kinda vibe...it's welcoming. They were even more lively when Bubbles and here mum moved in - let me tell you how shook I was of Bianca. I had never seen someone who looked or spoke like her in my life! I remember when she use to cuss me, she would speak so fast it would sound like she's talking in tongues or some shit like that.
"So you can't say hello?" I turned my head to the left and behind me I saw Marcus. He was leaning on our front door watching me with his famous crooked smile. I smiled and walked up to him and we embraced and I won't lie, I had to try my hardest not to burst out crying like a chick. 7 long years without your brother is a madness.
"Wow you look different bruv" I said pulling away from him and opening up the front door. I heard him laugh as he walked through the door behind me. He had gotten bigger in the 7 years - not the in surprised, all my boys I knew that had gone pen all have come out built, but he had a goatee and had shaven his head till he was bald. Not gonna lie he was gonna get FEMALES!!!
"I could say the same about you, what you saying, sweet boy yeah?" He said as we walked into the kitchen. He laughed as I kissed my teeth and put my bag on the kitchen chair as we both sat around the table. I saw him look around, a if he were having flashbacks or something like that. His eyes had a glazed look as he looked around the kitchen. I'm not even gonna try and start lying, it felt weird him being in the kitchen, sitting opposite me. 7 years I'd sat here with Mum alone, staring at his empty seat, and now all of a sudden here he was, filling that same empty seat. It felt so surreal. We sat in silence as I let him adjust and get use to the feeling of freedom. After 5 more minutes he turned to me and leaned back in his chair with a smile on his face.
"So who's the lucky lady?" I started laughing and shaking my head.
"You're and idiot you know, your always thinking bout woman init" Marcus started laughing and shrugged his shoulders,
"When you've been locked up for 7 years surrounded by big ass men, woman would be on your mind 24 7 too"
We both sat there laughing when we heard a knock on our front door, quickly followed by keys opening the door.
"Bubbles, you don't have to knock when I have the keys"
"I know Auntie, but you've got Reece sitting on his big butt, he can help"
I kissed my teeth as I heard my mum laugh at Bianca's comment. I looked over at Marcus who raised his eyebrow.
"Bianca?" He mouthed to me. I smiled and nodded towards her as she walked in with my mum carrying shopping bags for her. My mum turned around and dropped her bags with a loud scream as he ran up to Marcus, who stood up and embraced her tightly. They stood there talking to each other quietly as my mum started crying uncontrollably. After my mum calmed herself down she excused herself and ran upstairs to call the relatives and amongst the mother and son reunion I almost forgot Bubbles who was standing there in grey track suit bottoms and a white vest top and trainers with her dance bag and hoodie strapped across her shoulder. She stood there day dreaming out the window, unaware that I was watching her. Her hair was out in a curly honey coloured afro, her hair touching the middle of her back in an Afro alone, her eyes danced across the sky as she watched the sun, patiently and politely waiting. I won't lie..,nah I can't lie - Bianca was looking mad beautiful.
I turned to see Marcus's eyes on me with his eyebrows raised and an accusing smile and look on his face. I kissed my teeth which made Bubbles look at us and shook my head smiling. I looked over at her as she smiled politely at Marcus.
"Hello" she said smiling. Marcus got up and walked over to her and hugged her tightly, catching her off guard. If anything I think she looked a little bit scared, I don't blame her though - Marcus has always looked menacing, so imagine how he looked now.
"Hey Bubbles, long time. Rah man, last time I saw you, you were this high" he said gesturing to his knee. Bubbles started laughing, making Marcus look at me with a smile. I looked away from him and looked down and smiled to myself. Everyone had the same reaction when they heard Bianca's laugh - it was so unique and pretty, that you just couldn't help but smile. The nickname Bubbles really did suit her.
"REECE"
I snapped my head up to see Bubbles standing that snapping her fingers.
"What man" I replied standing up
" Jade wants her CD back, you've had enough time to burn it" she said with her hand out I kissed my teeth and pushed past her, budging her hard on her right shoulder. I walked away slowly enough to wait for her reaction and smiled instantly when I felt her jump on my back.
"You PUNK!" She screamed as she slapped me on top of my head as she wrapped her legs around my waist and locked them together.
"OWWW!! Are you dumb Tiger-Lilly!"
"DON'T CALL ME THAT!" I quickly flipped her over so she was straddling me as I stood and dove into her neck and started biting. I wasn't sure but I'm sure I felt her inhale quickly as my mouth found her neck, which slyly turned me on (it would turn on any boy man, jam) but as soon as I started biting she started screaming again as I laughed at her, my face still in the crook of her neck.
"Wow should I just leave you two alone or something"
I turned around holding Bubbles by the waist and looked at Marcus. Damn I totally forgot he was there. I kissed my teeth as Bubbles unwrapped her legs from around me and set herself down on the floor. I glared at Marcus when I felt Bubbles give me the dirtiest punch ever known to man.
"OWWWWW!!! WTF MAN, BIANCA!!!" I shouted rubbing my arm where she had punched.
"I can feel your dog teeth on my neck!" She screeched screwing me as she traced her fingers over the bite marks I had left her. I felt Marcus come up behind me, looking over my shoulder at her neck and heard him chuckle.
"That looks like a love bite". Bubbles face dropped and she slapped me around my head before saying her goodbyes and shouting "PUNK" as she left. I turned around to face Marcus who was standing there with a grin on his face.
"What man?"
"You like her"
"No I don't" I said walking away from him and into the living room. Marcus kissed his teeth after me and shouted from the kitchen.
"You can't deny that shit!!! You like her mate!"
I sat on the sofa shaking me head. This is some any bullshit!
