"You know my sister, my little sister, my only sister is my whole world right? I would do anything to protect her." I nodded and he went on. "Good cause now your taking her out of my protection. So I'm trusting you. Can I trust you Quin?"

"Y-yeah."

"I'm trusting you to protect my sister tonight. Do not hurt her and do not let out your sight. Got it?" I nodded vigorously scared to speak. He smiled and grabbed my shoulder. "Good because if anything happened to her I won't hesitate."

"H-hesitate t-to what?" I asked and he smiled and brung me inside.

"We're back." Marcus said once we entered the kitchen.

"Did we really have to make this a whole thing?" I asked. Me, Jaz, JB, Ray parents were here. Plus my dad friends, Marcus, and Zara's mom.

"I like how you didn't tell me y'all was going to the dance." My mom said eyebrow raised.

"I-I forgot." I said cause she scared me wit that look she was giving me.

"You told your father." She said matter-of-factly and I didn't really have a response.

"Ah she got you there." JB said and I glared at him.

"Here they come." Jania Jazmine mom said. We all stood in the foyer of the house and looked towards the stairs.

It was like they was moving and slow motion because they looked good. Jazmine was matching the boys with a dark blue dress and Zara was in a black dress.

"Damn." Me, JB, and Ray all said at the same time. We had our jaws dropped and they all laughed at us.

"Y'all gon catch flies." Derrick said and we closed our mouths and straightened up.

"Y'all look amazing." Ray said. Me and JB agreed.

"Y'all don't look to bad y'all selves." Jaz said.

"Pictures." My mom said and everybody got out they cameras. I looked at the time and it was 7:05. We allowed a few photos before we actually left.

They got in JB's car and me and Zara got in mine. I wasn't driving my pickup this time tho. I was driving my dads car. When we got there I opened Zara's door for her.

"You look stunning Z." I said and she smiled.

"You look pretty amazing too."

"Thanks. You ready?" I said and held out my arm. She looped her hand through and we walked inside with Jaz and them in front of us.

Once we get inside the actual gym. The music was blasting. Teachers was outside the gym so you saw them when you came in. People was everywhere taking pictures and videos.

"Aye we finna go meet Michael we'll be over there." JB said before they walked off.

"You want a drink?" I asked Zara.

"Sure." We walked over to the drinks and I poured us some.

"So how you like it?"

"I gotta say it's pretty nice in here. The decoration committee did a good job."

"Thanks." I said smiling and she looked shocked.

"Your on the committee?"

"Not usually but I was this time." I said and looked around. It looked nice in here. Mostly everyone had a date and I only noticed about 2 people in here who didn't go to our schools

"Let's dance." I said and took her hand.

I could tell she had fun. We talked, danced, and laughed all night. We took videos and pictures. It was hella fun and after the dance was over we made our way over to Michael's house for an after party.

Michael is hella rich and had a big ass swimming pool in his backyard. We swam and drank. It's was around 12am when we left the party and went to this diner that stayed open all night.

"So how was your first dance Zara?" Jazmine asked.

"It was fun honestly."

"Told you." I said and we ordered. After we ate and shit we went our separate ways.

Once I got to Zara house I walked her up to her door.

"So you were right. I'm glad I went." She said.

"I'm glad you came out. I don't think it would've been fun without you." She smiled after I said that.

"Right...well I'll call you later?"

"Yeah." I said and she was about to go in the house when I pulled her back. Fuck it. "Wait I gotta tell you something...but it would be better if I could show you." I said and she nodded slightly.

I leaned down and kissed her. I thought I made the wrong move at first but then she kissed me back and y'all don't understand how fucking happy I was. We pulled back after a minute and she slowly looked up at me.

"What about Jazmine?" She asked and I put hand on the back of my neck.

"Yeah I might've lied about that. I've always had a crush on you. When you asked me who my crush was I got nervous and Jazmine was the first person to pop into my head. I thought you wouldn't like me back so I never told you."

"Wow....Well I wish you would've told me cause I would've told you I like you too." She said smiling. I'm just glad I didn't pass out on the spot.

"Maybe I can make up for that and we can spend actual Valentine's day together?"

"I would love too."

I leaned and kissed her again. A thousand thoughts were swirling through my mind but I chose to focus on one.

I was kissing Zara fuckin Morgan

"Mmm Quin I know I said I liked you but not that much for you to be kissing on my sister." Marcus said after he cleared his throat to announce his presence. I pulled away and looked down shyly.

"R-right."

"Mac go in the house." Zara said. He left the into the front door but was still watching us. "I'll see you tomorrow."

"Yeah for sure."
