Jasmin's POV
We're all seated at the dining room table for our first dinner together, eating the soul food Mama prepared. It's been hella awkward, everyone else trying to make small talk as I stay silent.
"Ms. Wilson, may I please have a word with you in private?" Do Chi says to my mama. "Sure, baby."
They both stand up, and Do Chi leads the way outside.
Do Chi's POV
"Does Jasmin not like me?" I say in a sorta sullen tone, my face showing pure sadness.
"It's not that she doesn't like you, but I'm gonna be honest with you, she isn't too peachy about having another child in the house, let alone a step sibling."
"What can I do to get her to like me? I don't like the tension." "To be honest, I don't even know myself. If I did, you two would be the best of friends right now. One thing you should know about Jasmin is that she's headstrong and stubborn. Once her mind is made up, there's not much you can do to change it. Makes sense, though. She is my child after all."
"Thanks for talking to me, Ms. Wilson." She smiles. "No problem, and call me Diana." "Yes ma'am."
.....
Jasmin's POV
That was the most awkward dinner ever, but I'm glad to be back in the presence of my room. It's not my old one, but at least I'm alone.
Suddenly, my door busts open, Do Chi swiftly coming through it. She immediately closes it and takes swift, confident strides to sit next to me.
"What the hell, Do Chi?! You can't just bust into my room like you own the place!" I say angrily. One thing about me is I'm a girl that likes my privacy, and she is the definition of a space invader right now. She should go shoot some aliens.
Despite my scolding, she doesn't say anything. She's just staring at me with those eyes....
I feel like she's looking into my soul and she has the ability to do whatever she wants with it.
"Are you gonna say anything or what?" I say, frowning. Her hand slowly snakes its way to my arm, her fingertips gently sliding down it as I watch her every sensual move.
"Do Chi, what are you-" I'm cut off by her hand moving up my neck and cupping my cheek, her fingers in my hair.
"I want you to like me." She says smoothly, her voice like butter. "I-I can't like you like this."
Her hand gently grips my neck and she leans her forehead against mine, leaving my mouth open, her eyes staring into mine.
Do Chi's POV
I don't know what came over me, but Jasmin is attractive. I'd be a fool not to notice her delicious curves. The girl is thicker than a Snickers. A face like hers can't go ignored, and those lips are so tempting.
Jasmin's POV
"I just want us to get along." No one knows I'm gay, and having a lesbian relationship around me isn't helping me to stay in the closet, and what Do Chi is doing DEFINITELY isn't helping.
"I....I gotta go." I rush to get up and leave the room.
