My first class was social studies and then after that it was English, it was pretty boring today and I didn't learn much but then again when do I ever. I did notice that Weston wasn't here today, my guess is he's out brooding because he's the moodiest person I've ever met. But I was so excited when that lunch bell rang cause it meant that I get to see my man.
"Hi pooks"
"Eh?"
'I missed you"
"What'd you just call me"
"Hug me back", I say amused
Xavier eventually hugs me back with his free arm whilst frowning, "Lets not make that one happen again"
"Shut up I was just teasing", I climb over the shifter before sitting on his lap, being careful not to hurt his injured side
"How's your wound", I then ask
"It's alright"
"Did you clean it like I said"
"Don't worry doctor I cleaned it"
I don't notice any fresh cuts or bruises so that's a good sign, now I can at least breathe
"How are you though"
I sigh, "Missing my phone"
He snickers, "Oh yeah aunt Kota has it"
I roll my eyes as he laughs, "Excuse me it's actually not that funny"
"Don't worry I'm sure she's gonna give it to you soon, but on a real note I don't think you should be getting grounded cause of me-
"Shut up cause we've already established I'd do anything for you. Besides I'm gonna talk to my mom today"
He gives me an appreciative kiss, "And I love you for that, but getting in trouble should not be one of them. What are you gonna say to her?"
I lean back against him, holding onto to hand that he has around my waist, "I don't know I don't wanna think about it right now. Have you gone home yet?"
"Nah in the evening, I'll just make up some shit about my eye"
We were sat in the parking lot of my school so there's not much we could do, there were teens walking in and out the building. We're actually lucky enough to be able to leave the site when we want lunch, but it only applies to sophomores and up.
My thoughts are disrupted by Xavier giving me a neck kiss, "You still want me over on Saturday?"
"Yes you have to come"
"I'll be there"
"Good"
"Oh yeah I got you food by the way-
As soon as I heard that I sat up with intrigue
"Really? Where?" I look around the car before spotting a paper bag in the backseat with the McDonalds logo on the front
Food just excites me on a whole different level, and anyone that knows me knows that it can turn my whole mood around. Who doesn't love food? I'm even more glad that I've known Zay my whole life so eating in front of him is not a problem for me, he smiles as I take the bag excitedly. "Why didn't you say anything before"
"My bad I forgot"
My entire order is correct, five nuggets, double cheeseburger, fries and a sprite. He even threw in some mozzarella dippers, I thank God for fast metabolism because boy I can eat.
I shove a few fries into my mouth with relief, "I love you"
"Me or the food?"
"I don't wanna have to lie"
Xavier rolls his eyes playfully and I give him a kiss, "I love you too. Thanks babe"
"You're welcome"
I offer him some fries and he lets me feed him a few, "You saved me cause I was not trying to have the school quiche today"
"This place is still a dump", He says as we look out the window
"It's not that bad, they're improving" I defend
"You'd think that as a private school they'd be better than public school but it's the same. Too many white people in this area as well"
"Oh so you're saying I'm half the problem", I jokingly reply
My boyfriend deadpans me, "We've been over this. When I say white people you don't count, until you start watching those white girl shows"
I laugh because I know he's talking about Gossip Girl, I'm sorry but that show is just top tier and Xavier's gonna have to accept that. "Leave Gossip girl out of this, I'm gonna watch it regardless"
"I know you will"
As I was sipping on my sprite, Xavier's facial expression suddenly changed
"The fuck?"
"What", I reply before looking up
He's looking out the front window, specifically at the grass area with this screw face, I was so confused at first until I saw what, or should I say who he was looking at.
Indiah and Archie
He had his arm around her as they walked out of the building, Indiah is finally starting to stop pretending she doesn't like him, I think something changed for them when she went over to his. She told me they didn't do anything sexual, they just worked on their project and they talked for ages. I'm so happy for them.
"Who the fuck is that?"
"No it's fine that's only Archie", I assure him
Zay turns to me with furrowed brows, "You know him?"
"Yeah them two have been talking. Don't do that face, hes liked her for a really long time"
"Pfft ok and?"
"Xavier"
"What?"
"You gotta chill, she ain't little no more"
"She is"
"Ok so if she can't date then neither can I"
"Don't be silly"
"Don't you see how stupid your logic is-
Just when I thought he wasn't about to do anything, he honks the horn with disgust as they start to make out. The sound startles them.
I facepalm before sighing and he puts his window down whilst staring at his sister with a what the fuck are you doing look. Indiah screws him back from where she is and Archie looks over with confusion, she says something to him which causes him to freeze. "Look now you've scared him"
"Good"
"No not good, you embarrassed them"
Knowing my boyfriend, he couldn't care less
Indiah talks to Archie for a second before kissing his cheek and telling him she'll see him later, she soon makes her way over to the car with annoyance. "What's wrong with you"
"What's wrong with you", He returns with disapproval
"You don't get to be protective when you don't even know him"
"I tried to tell him"
"Please get him out of here, he's annoying"
"A blonde boy of all boys? I thought you was gay or some shit-
"Just because you've never seen me with a boy doesn't make me gay, get out of here with your stupid ass cause your lack of brain cells is draining us all"
"Wait I'm coming", I pack my stuff and Xavier scoffs
"Hell no, it's too early"
"You just embarrassed her"
Indiah folds her arms with a smile of satisfaction, "I like this, put him on time out more often"
He side eyes his sister "Shut up-... Ree stay for a bit"
I give him a peck on the lips, "I love you. FaceTime me tonight, I'll see you Saturday"
He frowns as I get out of the car which I found extremely adorable, I won't say that to him though cause he thinks he's too gangster for that. "Let's go" Indiah says
"Wait"
I look at Xavier expectantly, "Yes?"
"Give me another kiss before you go"
"I just gave you one"
"Wasn't enough"
"Ugh I can't watch this, I'll be waiting inside"
I lean through the window before kissing him softly and he prolongs it as he slips his tongue into my mouth and holds my chin, "I love you too"
"You're adorable", I say amused
"Ok bye now"
I giggle a little before starting to leave, "Bye"
I love him
**
"I saw Xavier", Neveah says as we walk to the car
"Did you say hi?"
"Yeah, oh and by the way he forgot to tell you this but aunt Latoya invited all of us over for lunch on Sunday so we're gonna be going there"
"Nice"
"Did you get to see him?" Trinity asks me
"Yeah I hung with him at lunch time, he bought me food"
"Lucky you, we had to have the quiche today. I feel sick" She complains
I laugh, "I don't know how they manage to make everything good but the quiche. Why didn't you buy something from the bakery?"
"Cause I forgot to ask mama for money this morning"
Once we reach the car dad unlocks the doors and we get in, "Hey"
"Hi daddy", The twins reply
I muttered my hello
He starts the car right away cause there's usually a long line of cars waiting to leave right after school ends, thankfully we were one of the first ones out. No joke, he'd usually text us 'I'm outside, don't take your time please'
"How was school"
I shrug
My father glances at me before looking back at the road as he drives, "Still got an attitude I see. What about you" He asks my sisters instead
"Boring, but Stephanie's mom said me and Veah could go over this Saturday, can we?" Trinity asks
"Sure, get your homework done first though"
"Alright"
Thank God that's sorted, now I don't have to force my sisters out of the house when Xavier comes over. Neveah is not cheap, she would've made me pay her.
"I almost got in trouble today", She then says
"Why", He asks with a suspicious frown
So then she starts to get into what happened in class, something about her being on her phone and giving sass and yadayada. It's nothing new with Neveah honestly.
I was staring out of the window with boredom for the most part but as we stopped at a traffic light something caught my eye. I saw this familiar face walking out of one of the houses down the street, he looked normal but also had this resting bitch face, also he looked quite violent. Anyway he was heading in the opposite direction of the way we were driving. I couldn't quite remember where I had seen this guys face and it was starting to annoy me, it wasn't until the traffic lights turned green and my dad started driving again that I sat up with widened eyes whilst watching through the window.
Holy shit
Treyvon...
~*~
Aside from the whole Treyvon thing, there's still something else that I need to sort out, and it's with mama. The silent treatments just been going on for too long, she's currently in her room with Aidan, he's lying against her whilst watching what she's doing on her phone.
It was actually hard for me to catch her alone because since we got home she was talking to dad, I sigh as I enter the room, "Mom"
"Yes", She replies without looking up
"Um...I'm ready to talk"
She gestures for me to sit down so I do
"But can you not tell dad?"
"Depends on what you've done", She then turns off her phone as she looks at me expectantly
I hear the shower but I'm not sure how long dads been in there so I probably only have a few minutes.
"Ok well I went to a party"
"On a school night", She says unconvinced
"Yeah and I ended up staying the night-
"Look I don't got time for lies today, if that were true you would've asked me from the get go. You always ask before you go to parties"
"No but this one was kind of last minute.....I went with Xavier"
She frowns, "Since when did you start going to parties with Xavier?"
I sort of just look at her and she's soon hit with realisation, "You like Zay?"
"Love, mama"
My mother raises her eyebrows, "Love? Since when? Are you dating? How long has it been?"
"Well we just got back together-
"Hold on just? Child you were together and broke up?" She scoffs
"It's a long story, we were complicated before but now he's my boyfriend and yes, we've loved each other for a long time"
Mom holds her heart, "Aw and I did't know?" She asks with a little disappointment
"I wanted to tell you but I wanted us to last a little before I did. Anyway I was with him that night and he was telling me to go home so don't think that he's a bad influence, I chose to stay with him"
"It don't matter if you guys have been together for three seconds, you're meant to tell me everything. Why did you break up?"
"He made a mistake", I reply vaguely
"The drug stuff", She says knowingly
"Yeah...I didn't talk to him for months but he would't leave it alone and he was really sorry so I forgave him in the end. I don't regret it"
Mom analyses me, "You really love him"
"I do", I reply in a soft tone
It feels so relieving now that I've told her, but I just couldn't mention the hotel because then she'd have a stroke and I'd have to dive into the Treyvon shit. As far as my parents are concerned, Xavier doesn't do any of that anymore.
"Was it really worth getting your phone taken Mari? You could've just told me you know I always try to sympathise with you"
"I know but you tell daddy everything and I don't want him to know I have a boyfriend"
"I don't tell him everything", Mom defends
I deadpan, "Yes you do"
"Ok well maybe I do but its not my fault, he knows when I'm keeping a secret"
"You gotta keep this one", I plead
"You never know, he might not mind since it's Xavier" She shrugs
"Yeah but then I'd never be able to sleep at his house cause dad would think I'm doing other things"
"Well are you planning to? Have you two had sex?", She asks suspiciously
I groan, "Ma"
"What, I would like to know"
"No we have not"
"Ok well have you thought about it-
"Mama", I complain with disgust
"I'm gonna talk to you about this stuff so get used to it, and I'd obviously prefer if you waited but if it comes down to it. Condom, always. Imma have a little talk with Xavi too-
"No don't be weird"
"Oh please thats my son, we talk. And I know he's gonna eventually wanna hit, in fact he probably already does so I'll be reminding him that you're still my baby"
"Speaking of babies, how's my brothers or sisters"
"Your siblings fine, I haven't felt pain in a while so that's good. But God I really hope it's a boy, there's too many girls in this house"
True
I look towards my brother, "You ok?"
He nods silently and mom kisses his head, "Hes been clingy these past few days so I'm gonna take him out for some ice cream tomorrow"
"I can tell"
She looks back at me, "I always thought you'd end up with a white boy"
"Why", I say amused
"You always wanted to be like me", She defends innocently
I laugh, "I am like you. Where'd you think my attitude comes from, and my body too actually"
"I mean I know about that one. You're welcome"
Except for the fast metabolism cause that one I got from dad. Anyway I eventually got my phone and car keys back, mom made me promise no more sneaking around before she gave it back. And thankfully she didn't tell dad, she just said I went to a party and left it that, me and dad are good now.
*
I knock on my sisters door
"Yeah", Trinity calls out
I lean against the door frame, "Wanna do something dangerous?"
She grins as she sits up on her bed, "Yes"
"Cool lets go"
Now don't get me wrong I love both of my sisters but Trinity complains less than Neveah and we listen to the same music so I don't gotta argue with her over the radio even though it's my car.
"Whose car?"
I swing my keys around my finger, "Mine. And I told mama we were doing a target run so come on"
Mom actually went and gave me a shopping list so now we actually have to go
"Kk.... but that's not the danger you were referencing right"
I laugh, "No. Ok so you know Treyvon right"
My sister nods
"Long story short but I saw him outside his house whilst dad was dropping us home and now I have this idea that we should go there and I should steal his mail, you're not getting involved by the way you're just there for company"
"So we're stalking a murderous drug lord gangster guy?"
"Well when you put it like that", I say deep in thought
Trinity pauses from getting up, "Wait why do you need his mail?"
"Too many questions, let's go"
I drag my sisters hand out of the room and lead her downstairs once her jackets on. Neveah turns back from eating with dad, "Where you guys going"
"Target", We reply
"Ha, sucks to be you"
Me and Trin just look at each other before leaving
What I'm about to do could either be really helpful, or it might just be the worst decision I've ever made in my entire life.
