"Tia!" Mrs.Brooks exclaimed standing from the couch she was sitting on and coming towards me with her arm outstretched. I leaned into her, hugging her back but looking at Dymeire questioningly over her shoulder.
He shrugged his shoulders at me and rolled his eyes towards his dad, who was grinning at me. I let go of his mom and walked towards his dad who stood up to meet me. I then hugged him too and kissed his cheek.
"Well, ain't you just pretty, look at you. Aw, sooky sooky now!" I burst out laughing and so did my mom. Dymeire's mom just shook her head at him whilst taking her seat back on the couch.
Dymeire just looked embarrassed. "Dad, man, don't nobody say that no more. Nah, we never said no shit like that." He chuckled and I just stared appalled. Since when did we start cussing on front of our parents?
"Watch your mouth. You ain't to old to get popped." His mom cut in. Dymiere waved his hand at her in dismissal.
"Boy-" His dad started but my mom cut him off.
"Okay. Why don't I go start dinner then since you'll be staying." My mom walked out of the room and Mrs.Brooks hopped up following her.
"It's just us now." His dad rubbed his hands together and grinned at us.
"Nah it's just you. We going upstairs." Dymeire grabbed my arm and dragged me out of the living room. "Go in the kitchen!" He shouted back over his shoulder and I could hear his dad chuckling as we started up the stairs.
"Ite," He said slowing down and letting my arm go as we got to the upstairs hallway. "Show me your room, ma." Then he smiled at me and his dimples came out.
"Mmm," I said. Damn it was hot. Or maybe that was just me. I started walking in front of him leading him to my room and something just told me to look back, so I did. He quickly lifted his eyes from my backside.
"Do you mind? My eyes ain't back there." I snapped.
"Oh trust, I know." He licked his lips. His juicy, delicious, moist, pink...I snapped out of it as I caught myself actually staring at his lips. I heard a chuckle and focused back on Dymeire's face. He bit his bottom lip and his dark eyes twinkled at me.
"You like?" He asked with amusement in his voice. I just rolled my eyes and turned my back on him again. I could just feel his eyes going back to watching my ass. I would be lying if I said I wasn't hype that he was paying so much attention to me. I kept my cool though and led him to my room.
Once there, I opened the door and swept my hand out at him gesturing for him to go in first.
"Nah, ladies first." He smiled.
"Okay, well why you still standing here then? Go 'head."
"Oh ha ha, ma, you got jokes." He grabbed my arm and forcefully pushed me ahead of him into the room. He put his hand on the small of my back as we walked into my room. Shutting the door behind him, I felt him lean into me and his warm breath blew on my ear. I shivered which I knew he felt because he let out a husky laugh directly in my ear. It was low and sexy and boy I thought I was gonna have to change my underwear.
"Like I said, ladies first." He whispered and then kissed my neck before moving around me to explore my room. I almost slapped myself when I realized what I was doing. I was flirting up a storm when I knew I had a boyfriend. A cute ass boyfriend who did everything and more for me and here I was acting like I was a free agent.
I actually disgusted myself for a moment. I resolved that from that moment I would not let Dymeire do anything else like that. If I knew what was best I would get his ass out of my room, but I didn't. I just stood there and watched him as he took his time exploring my room.
I wandered over to my bed and flopped down on it. Was it possible for me to be friends with Dymeire? I had always had a little crush on him when we were kids because even then he was just sexy. I was careful to never let him know how I felt though because I didn't wanna mess up our friendship but now here he was acting like he was feeling me and I had a boyfriend.
It was too little too late for him.
I had Garren now and he was perfect for me.
"I like your room. It's real nice." I heard Dymeire say as he came and joined me on my bed next to me. He was a little closer than I would have liked and I tried to subtly scoot away from him. From the way his lips quirked up in the corners though I don't think I fooled him. He deliberately flicked his eyes down to the space I was slowly putting between us.
"Am I making you nervous?" He whispered and scooted closer to me, closing the small space I had succeeded in making. I looked at him annoyed. I didn't like the way he was making me feel and I didn't want him so close to me.
"No," I snapped defensively. "I just don't want you all up on me."
He laughed. "Ma, if I was all up on you, trust, you would know. And you would not be tryna get away from me."
"Uh, no," I threw my hand up in his face. "Take it down with all that."
He started laughing and scooted away from me some. Then he looked at through half lidded eyes. "Better?"
I nodded and quickly turned my head away from him. Damn he looked good. "So let's talk about something else." I said trying to steer the subject onto safer grounds before I got myself in trouble. Some trouble I wasn't so sure I would wanna get out of.
"Like what?" He asked lifting his hands behind his head and leaning back on my pillows.
"Like... how have you been since you've left?"
"I been good."
"Miss any friends?"
"Some but I never really had any friends, you know? They were more like associates because you can't trust anybody. The last real friend I had was you." He looked at me then, and I quickly looked away.
"Any girlfriends?" I asked quietly. I told myself I wasn't gonna ask him that. I had to though. He was just too good to be true and not have nobody snatch his ass up yet.
"A few." He answered vaguely. I snapped my head to look in his direction in disbelief. A few!
"Ma," He burst out laughing. "You should see your face right now. I'm just joking, you know I'm not like that." He chuckled lightly some more. "But nah, I ain't gotta girl," he sent a suggestive wink my way. "Yet."
"Anyway, did you love any of them?" Somebody needed to tape my damn mouth shut. I didn't know where all these questions were coming from and I was just embarrassing myself.
"What's with all the questions about my love life? What about yours? Do you love Garren?"
"I do," I said, whispering.
"Mmm." Is what came out of his mouth. I cocked my eyebrows at him.
"What you mean 'mmm'?"
"Nothing, Chill. Let's go back downstairs and see what they cooking." He hopped of my bed and was out of my room before I could answer.
I could see that this boy was gonna cause me a lot of problems.
