Trying Little Things

Chapter 2

Preston

"You got dreads now?"

"Yeah I did."

"I like it when it's a bit longer and curly."

"Well I need to keep the shit tamed."

"No baby, just me."

She slipped into my lap. She really liked wearing my shirts after we had sex. I didn't complain she looked good in them.

"Now what are you doing in my lap?"

"I can do a few things."

I looked over at the clock. I had a few hours until I need to leave. Plus she changes after twelve.

"How about we do things tonight?"

"Um sure."

"Are you coming to see Mica preform?"

"Oh shit. It's tonight isn't it? I have to help my little sister with her project."

"Too bad."

I closed the door to my bathroom and hopped in the shower. When I got out I didn't hear the tv that was blasting before I got in. She must have left. I dried off and put on my uniform.

I got into my Mustang and drove to the only thing I cared about. I think we are practicing inside today. I opened my locker and put my belongings inside before grabbing my mit. We had one more game until the season was over.

"You always find a way to be late."

"Sorry coach."

"You should come over tonight. Sarah misses you and I know you miss her cooking."

"Not to night. Mica is back in town and he is performing tonight. Some other time?"

"Yeah, you are always welcome in our home."

"Thanks coach."

He told me to work on my left arm more. It was pretty much all I did. I was the pitcher, well the best one. There were other people that were good but we all know they weren't on my level, and never will be.

"Hey Preston you going to the bar later on?"

My best friend Logan was the batter and a damn good one. Out of all our friends who played baseball him and I were the only ones passionate about it. Either that or he put on a really good front for his father.

"Yeah."

"I'm guessing my dad asked you to come over for dinner?"

"Yeah he did."

"One of these days you should. Katie and the boys miss you."

I smiled at the thought of Katie. I was there when she was born five years ago. Logan's dad was driving me to my apartment when he got the call from his wife. I was sorta relieved that I didn't have to go home and see my family, not that I didn't like them but because I liked his family. That night Logan and I slept on the floor next to Katie's crib. I remembered it like it was yesterday.

"Yeah of course."

"Great also my dad took me here, so I need a ride to the bar."

"Sometimes I think you do this shit just to ride in it."

"Aye she is sexy as hell. Not better than... but close enough."

I couldn't argue with him his car is better in every way.

We pulled up to my apartment. We wanted to shower before we got there. After I was done I heard my phone go off. Five miss calls from Page. What the hell does she want?

"Hey, you ready?"

"Yeah."

We left my apartment and headed to the bar. I wasn't going to call her. She probably just bored and want me to come over

Our tables were already half full of our friends. I headed to the bar to get the table more drinks. The bartender was always hesitant to give us drinks because we were too young, but he really hated doing anything for me. I would be too if someone fucked my mom and caused a devoice.

I smirked and waved at him. He really wanted to punch me but he couldn't because he would get fired and this job was the only thing keeping a roof over their heads. We didn't need to pay on special occasions because we knew the owner. I walked away with two hands fulls of beer. A pretty blonde helped with the rest of the beers.

"Hey what about her?"

"No, she looks like the type you can't get rid of."

"Aye isn't that Marilyn?"

"Yeah."

He announced to the table that she was here. Everyone was focused on her but I was focused on the girl she was with. Her drown skin matched perfectly with the red dress she had on

I wanted to hit on her but everyone told me to shut up and also that I had a girlfriend which wasn't true. It seemed like it didn't matter though. She still seemed like she still wanted to talk to me.

I walked up to the bar where I heard her ask for a soda. I smiled, I never knew people actually ask for nonalcoholic drinks.

"Three beers."

She looked back at me then turned around quickly. He gave her the soda and she took a small sip. He then gave me the three beers. I took the soda out of her hands and gave her the two beers.

I drunk some of mines before asking if she was still up for the offer.

"Let's see how the night goes."

What a fucking tease.

"Alright baby."

I asked for a stronger drink for both of us. It took longer for mine to be made. I didn't think much of it, I just thought he just doesn't like me so he is making me wait a little longer.

"Have you ever had one of these?"

"No."

She drunk hers quickly then made a funny face.

"God it burns."

"Here it gets better."

She took it and drunk it quicker than the last one. I asked for two more and when we got it we drunk it at the same time. It went down ruffer than I remembered.

"You shouldn't order something you can't handle." She smirked at me as we drunk a few more.

"I want to drink with you."

"You're already drinking with me."

I said that?

"I meant I want to dance with you."

"Are you sure? Because if you fall I will leave your ass there."

We laughed then I grabbed her hand. I was sure we had a few songs before Mica starts singing. She started dancing funny. I couldn't help but laugh at her. Then she pulled me close and rubbed her hands all over me. I was sure that the song didn't match the way we were dancing. People were staring but I didn't care.

She turned around and danced on me I moved to her hips. In a minute I'm going to start humping her if she doesn't come home with me now. She turned around to face me. I grabbed her fat ass.

"You need to come home with me now."

"You want me baby?"

"Fuck yea."

"Too bad."

She walked away from me. I didn't want her to but I kind of like it when she walked away. I had a full view of her ass. Tonight would be one to remember.
