New Beginnings

Chapter 5

"Yeah I was just telling Lauren how you made me fall in love with you." He kissed her neck.

I gave him a look.

"Aww baby that's so sweet."

"No he wasn't. He was telling me how much you put him through-"

"Just to get..to..you." He sung the last part making up a different story. He looked at me over his shoulder and gave me the Stevie J rat face daring me to say another word. Than after all that he mouth the words Snitch to me.

"Andre how come you are so sweet to me after all these years?" She wrapped her arms around his neck.

"Well baby I had to say if it wasn't for the good food you would be soon cooking in that kitchen and that good candy I be having you throw back at me every night, I wouldn't even be here."

She hit him lightly and laughed at his joking manner ,which I found to be disgusting.

"Stop it and just for you I'm about to go cook right now." She winked at him, turned around on her heels, and switched her hips to the kitchen.

"Woo woo woo woo." He copied Martin from the show.

"Lord knows I'm bout to be up in that." He rubbed his hands togethe following her into the kitchen.

I shook my head picking up my book and going to my room. I flopped down on the bed face forward and started to read from there. I looked over at my phone and seen an unknown number had text me.

"Hey."

I squinted my eyes at the number as if it would help me remember but yet nothing.

"Hey, do I know you?"

"Oh my bad. This is Devin."

I smiled reading his name. I got up and close my door just so I wouldn't be disturbed.

"Oh yeah sorry, you didn't give me your number remember."

"Yeah its fine. But anyways, how was your day?"

"It was good. Nothing interesting but it was okay. Wbu?"

"Kinda tired, just came from football practice. Ran more than I had to also."

"Aww why don't you go lay down and get some rest?"

"Nah I'm okay, plus I wanna talk to you anyways."

My cheeks rose after reading what he said.

"Well usually when guys want to talk to a girl they call them but you only text me. I was expecting a phone call."

"Aww babygirl you wanted me to call you?"

"I guessed." I texted him back shyly as if he could see me.

"Well I would if I could but I can't right now."

"Why."

Waiting for him to reply quickly like he usually did he didn't. Five minutes passed and yet still nothing. Getting impatient I threw my phone back on the dresser and return to my book.

Minutes passed by of reading and my phone lit up with the notification of a text.

" Sorry I can't right now. I'm at the movie with a friend."

"I thought you just got out of practice?"

"I did but one of my homies ask me to come with him to see some movie. So now I'm here."
