Cherished

"What did you want me over here for?" I asked Mikey who was sitting on the couch across from me.

"I just wanted to see you,"

"Oh,"

"Why you sitting so far away?" He asks.

"I'm not, I'm just right here,"

"C'mere," he holds his arm out.

I shake my head no causing him to smack his lips.

"Come on, come sit by me," he pleads.

I sigh as I get up and head over onto the other couch.

I plop down next to him and grab his wrist as his hand starts making its way towards my thigh.

"Uhuh you wanted to talk, don't touch me,"

"Man whatever, but I want you to come somewhere with me,"

"Umm okay. Where?"

"On my next road trip. It's only 2 games but we'll be gone three or four days,"

"Umm I'm in school,"

"Damn I forgot you was a kid," he chuckles.

He stops laughing once he notices the nonchalant expression on my face.

"Get over it, but one of my teammates is coming over. Just saying,"

"Is he nice?"

"When he wants to be," he shrugs.

An awkward silence suddenly washes over us.

"Sooooo," he says.

"So?"

"Your date?"

"What about him?"

"What was all that about?" He sits back against the couch as he watches me.

"I told you that we were just getting to know each other,"

"Y'all looked like y'all already knew each other to me,"

"Damn you watched me the whole night?" I laughed at his sudden jealousy.

"Well shit with the way you was looking..." he licks his lips as he eyes my body.
