Fire and Ice

Chapter 3 ~ Quality Time

"Baby I want to come see you/Said I really want to come see you" -Aaliyah

I was waiting for Davon to call me, but he never did. He probably forgot about me as soon as I left. I hate getting my hopes on a guy and then being let down. I put my books into my locker. I jump when I see Davon standing there. He gives me a smile revealing his perfect set of teeth. "Hey." I say slowly. I'm not sure if I should even talk to him. "What's up lil mama?" Davon says, giving me a hug. That took me off guard. I breathe in his scent. He smells like Polo cologne. Jesus, he's perfect. "What you doing?" He asks. He acts like he really cares. "Getting ready for second period." Isn't it obvious? "Where's your friends?" He asks, looking around. "I don't know. I haven't seen them all day." I confess. Davon looks me up and down. "You look real sexy today, K." He says. I blush under his gaze. I push a strand of my hair behind my ear. I have on a Maxi skirt and a white blouse. I guess I did that. "So, what you doing after school?" He asks, stepping closer to me. I look up at him. "Uh, nothing." I sputter. "You wanna chill with me and my friends? You can bring your friends, too." He says. "Cool." I say, trying to hide my excitement. He wants to spend time with me? Bruh! The warning bell sounds for class. I snap out of my trance and get my other books. "I'll walk you." He tells me rather than offers. I bite my lip. Girls look at me sideways while we walk to my class. These b.tches can hate. Before I can enter the class, Davon turns me back to face him. "See you later K." He whispers in my ear. I feel him give me a peck on the cheek. He walks off like nothing happened, without so much as a backwards glance. A smile creeps across my face. I been peeped that he liked me, ya know?

School was boring as hell. I didn't see Davon for the rest of the day. My friends were stuck in their own worlds today. They snapped out of it when I told them that we were supposed to hang with Davon and his boys today. "For real!" Samaria almost shouted. I nod to answer her. Samaria likes Brian. He's a basketball player for Brookesville and he hangs with Davon. She's liked him longer than ive liked Davon. Niggas like them dont notice girls like us. They only recognize the sl.ts. Not girls who respect themselves.

We're standing outside in the student parking lot. My phone goes off. I answer it. "Where you at?" I hear Davons voice on the other end. I smile. I don't know why I was stressing earlier. I knew he was gonna call me. "I'm about to get into my car. " I sit down in the driver's seat. My friends lean in to hear our conversation. "It's down the street from Krogers." he tells me. He gives me the address and then hangs up. "He has your number?" Anasia asks. "Yeahh. Last night at Javion house, he was there and I gave it to him." I confess. Truth is, I lowkey can't wait to see him. I'm kind of nervous too. "You've had a crush on him for the longest." Samaria says. It really wasn't that long. Samaria likes to exaggerate. I pull up to his house. But I park on the opposite side of the street.

I take a deep breath as I knock on the door. Brian answers the door. He let's us in. I realize that we're not the only ones that were invited. There's two females on his couch, sipping on something. Theres a n.gga i aint never seen before. Then there's his usual clique here. I look at my friends uncomfortably. Anasia shrugs. Samaria is too busy making eyes at Brian. "Have a seat yall."Davon tells us. Me and my friends sit in his house for thirty minutes watching them talk and smoke. I was about to get up and leave when the two girls got up and left. But not before giving Davon and his friends hugs and pecks on the cheek. I roll my eyes. B.tches so simple these days.

It's about thirty minutes later and I decide to leave. Why invite over guests, if you don't plan on entertaining them? I get my keys and stand up again. "Where you going at?" Davon asks, looking up from his phone. "I'm bored so I'm going home." i say, dryly. "You wouldn't be bored if you came over here." Davon has a sly grin on his face. Everyone is looking at me. I bite my lip and saunter over to him. I sit down. Everyone goes back to their conversations. "You still bored?" Davon asks. I nod. All I did was sit down. The f.ck? "Come with me?" Davon says. He gets up and heads down the hall. I follow him. He takes me to a room with a bunch of chairs and sofas. "This is the den." He says, holding his hands up. He sits down on the tan sofa. I do the same. "Wassup with ya?" Davon asks. "Nothing much.What about you?" I ask. A weird look comes over his face. "Nothing." He answers. I don't believe him. Davon stares at me. I bite my lip. "Why do you do that?" He asks. "Do what?" I ask, like i just got caught stealing. "Bite your lip." He asks. "I don't know." I look down. "Am I making you nervous?" He asks. He scoots closer to me. Yes he's making me really nervous. "No." I lie. Suddenly, his phone rings. He answers. "Hello..Hey...You do?...Alright, alright...I'll get it. Bye." When he hangs up, he has a sad expression on his face. It's hard to explain. I don't like seeing people sad. I tickle him. He surprisingly laughs. A ticklish thug...hmmm. "Oh, so you wanna play?" He says, comically. He grabs me and starts tickling me back. I'm laughing so hard. When he stops, I realize that I'm on his lap. I try to get off, but he's holding on to my waist. I decide to stay on. Davon's pretty hazel eyes are staring into mine and guess what I do? I bite my lip. Then, I turn my head. Davon gently grabs my chin and turns my head back to face his. "Why are you so pretty?" He asks. I smile. He knows just what to say. I shrug. He leans in to kiss me. I back up and hop off his lap. "What's wrong?" He asks. "I can't do this." I say, frowning. Davon is a player and the last guy I was with was crazy and when I tried to leave him, he made my life a living hell. Davon looks down sadly. When he looks up, the expression on his face is cold. "Don't worry about it. It's time for you to leave." he says it just how he looks. Cold as ice. I sigh and leave the room. I grab my keys and tell my girls it's time to go. I zoom off.
