I hoist Jahseh's arm over my petite shoulder and start carefully walking down the hallway. He leans a few times and hit his head on a light fixture mounted on the wall outside the bathroom door. We finally make it to his room and I yank his door open. I am instantly wafted with the smell of weed, african incense, sandalwood cologne, and booze.
I pull back his covers and lay him on the bed. I pull the fluffy cover over his body, turn on his fan, and go to close the door.
"I'm.... so sorry, Jasmine" I hear Jahseh mutter from under the covers.
"It's okay, go to sleep." I say before closing his door and sneaking to my room and piling my silky satin cover and egyptian cotton sheets over me.
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||Cleo comes in my room and tells me to come downstairs for breakfast. She locks my door and walks out. I sheepishly pull back my sheets and put on my slippers and robe. Today the house is a tad bit chilly so I think I'll have some coffee.
My feet softly tap against the plush carpet steps as I run down. I take my seat at the table and admire the delicious spread.
"Whoa." I turn to Cleo "You made all this?"
"No, I got breakfast ordered. We have some stuff to do so eat and be ready in about.... 25 minutes?" She says as she checks her watch
"Yeah sure, I will."
Cleo puts her plate in the sink and walks upstairs.
I pile pancakes and bacon with various fruits all on my plate and start to dig in. I indulge in the warm fluffy pancakes as I sip some smooth, frothy, vanilla coffee.
I rinse off my plate and put in the sink before running up stairs. I have to always pick a nice outfit no matter where I go. So I go through my drawers and put together a nice outfit.
As soon as I come down I bump right into Jahseh.
"I'm sorry" we both say at the same time
I've tried to remain normal after that night when Jahseh was intoxicated, He probably doesn't care and I don't wanna make things weirder.
"No problem" I say with hidden anxiety
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Jasmine is really here, talking to me like everything's fine. Did she forget that night? Or was she too tired that she does not know it even happened?
What is she thinking right now!? If a nigga could read minds bruh!..
I guess I'll just give her space and try to forget about it.
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||Mom walks in and calls us to get in the car. Jasmine glances at me one time before walking out to the car. Normally I would ride shotgun or sit next to Jasmine to pick with her, but I sit in the seats closest to the trunk.
I pull out my phone and start texting some random hoe.

Ouuu okayy😌 ima pack nowI turn on my music and shut my eyes
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||"Jahseh." I wake up to Aiden shaking my arm While Jasmine and mom get out of the car.
"We're at the mall, get up."
I get out of the car and walk beside mom.
"Mom, Stokeley's coming on the trip."
"Did his mama say he could?" She says with a annoyed expression
I shook my head and smiled
"Okay. Good, cause I don't need no trouble."
"Oh and one of our friends are coming"
She turns around again, except she looks even more annoyed than before.
"Jahseh this is a family trip! I get that Stokeley is coming but you can't just invite people!"
"Okay I understand but Ski already bought the tickets."
I'm not letting my mom ruin my plans. I just want things my way
"Fine but the next time you or Stokeley pull some stunts like this yall gonna feel this high heel red bottom on the back of yall necks!"
I laugh as I pick up Aiden and put him on my shoulders.
Once we're in the building, my mom stops and turns.
"Okay so I know your new to our family Jasmine but I want you to feel at home and welcome. Every once in a while we take a trip to have fun and look for new items for the shop. We have a flight to Brazil in a few hours so we need you to get a suitcase and all the stuff you think you'll need."
Jasmine looks up in shock and smiles brightly
"Oh my god! Brazil!? Oh my god are you serious?"
It's almost like she never even knew about the trip....
Her small brown eyes look overloaded in joy as she holds my mom. And her cheeks are rosy and her skin looks soft to the touch, almost as if it was silk.
She looks beautiful, they both look beautiful.
"What's wrong, Jahseh?" My mom says with a concerned tone
"Nothing."
"Are you sure?" She says
"Yeah, I'm sure. But thanks"
She turns to Jasmine and gives her a look but Jasmine just shrugs in confusion.
You know what's wrong with me! You are what's wrong with me. I can't stop thinking about that night. What do you think about that night? If only I could read your mind.
Jasmine continued to walk with the others as I stood still.
"I'm gonna hang back. Ming said he's downstairs in Tommy Hilfiger."
"Okay" my mom said as she handed me some money
"Here. Have a good time and meet us at primanti bros"
