CHAPTER II ^^THATS JERAMIAH^^

I quickly break the stare between us not really believing that she's actually there.

I look back up and she's gone.

I stupidly mumble to my self for thinking about somebody that I only met once so much.

I try to get my mind off of it by eating and talking to the cousins at the BBQ.

It works for a while and I'm actually having alot of fun even as I play poker with my drunk ass uncles.
That was just easy money right there that I couldn't resist and just when i was about to collect there money I see her again.

This time she's dancing with some girl as her chocolate skin glows under the sun. As I squint I realized it is my little cousin kaila that I hadn't seen in a minute . I was a little nervous about going up to them but the only way I was gonna know if it's really her is if I try.

As my cousin turns the girl in circles I get closer as I watch her wide hips whine left and right to the beat.

Inches away I verbally greet my little cousin and gesture for her to let me with dance this mystery girl.

Right as kaila agrees she turns around I attempt to gently grab her hand.

She says "hey there " nonchalantly but as I watch her face I see her true emotions as her big almond shaped eyes brighten up and she shows of her beautiful straight white teeth.

It's really her

"Your the clumsy girl from earlier" i say jokingly.

"And your the noisy guy that decided to catch me" she says with a smirk.

"Tushé" I respond and we both start laughing. when the slow dance came i could tell she was type shook because she started started looking around at everywhere but me.

"You wanna sit" I say breaking the akward silence.

"Uhh.....sure " she says with a hint of hesitancy.

She follows my lead as I purposely walk towards a bench that was  far from the others.

I notice breifly she studies me a bit as I grab her hand to help her sit down before actually accepting my hand.

"So i never got your name clumsy "

"It's ashanti and yours? "she giggles.

"Jeramiah but you can call me jay"

After a few seconds of silence I continue."Baby girl can I ask you a question?" I ask as my light eyes hits her brown ones.

"Shoot "
She says .

" why are you so nervous?"

" I don't really know I guess you could say I'm just surprised you came up to me."
She responds with a little hurt in her voice.

"Why wouldn't I beautiful"
I respond as I lick my lips resting my hand on her thigh.

She blushes and looks down.

"Boy you just had to come here and be weird dint you"she says playful slapping by my hand of her thigh.

"Get ya hand off "she giggles.

"Or what?!" I responds with a smirk.

"Or else..or else imma...."unable to respond with a come back she scoffs and folds her arms jokingly upset that she lost.

"Oh ight I thought I was gonna have to tear that ass up in all diffrent types of ways" I respond say I lick my lips.

Dumbfounded she opens her mouth to say something but then just starts nervously laughing.

Ashanti's POV.

--------// 1 HOUR LATER//-------

I finnaly glance at my lock screen realizing me and jay have been talking for almost an hour going on 2.
I learned a lot about him like how he's black on his fathers side and got a bi-racial mom and how full name is Jeramiah Daniel brown..

He also told me he just graduated college majoring as a entrepreneur and in education he explains how he is training to be a state school district supervisor.

I'm not gonna lie I was surprised as that is a big role especially for a college freshy. But hey the nigga's smart what can I say?

We had a really good conversation but when he started flirting things got interesting. Normally i would get really akward but for some reason today I was more I just more open to it...we just connected.

He even asked me to help him decorate his new apartment or condo I should say.

I think that was just an excuse for us to exchange numbers but I'm not complaning .

We made plans for Saturday.

So I guess I'm really doing this?!

----------/FRIDAY/-----------

"So I see you've been avoiding me raven"

"No grandma Majore........" I respond reassuringly.

" and please grandma that 'raven' thing scares me" I continue whispering the last part.

"But how can you not like its your symbol.......it's the living embodiment of you and what you will be.. Bold. Beautiful. and Royalty." She says as her green eyes lite up.

I smirk as I am taken in by her wide caramel colored arms. I push my head into her dashiki dress and take in the sent of sweet pea and lavender as we stay embracing each other for a while. God I love my grandmother.

"Now let me give you a reading" mrs. Majore gently say breaking the silence.

Dont get me wrong i trust my grandma but as she takes my hands I begin to get a dé ja vú feeling like she knows something i don't........

After all the low mumbles and hums from Majore I finally get a answer.

"Child now I know why you've been keeping away....there is so much going on my dear.let me first start of by saying their is young soul that you are not too fond of but they are even more unfond of you so check yourself...mmmmhhh yes there is someone watching you with a hungry eye waiting to devour your inoccence just around the coner but the think that caught me the most was that.... oh yes i see..I-I see you with somebody and joined hands with your father.....and oh my gosh......and that's when things cut off..."

"I tried to reconnect back inside but that's all Allah aloud me to see baby" she says with worried eyes.

"I-I don't know what to say grandma I say " as my eyes begging to burn.
Feeling uneasy I begin gathering my stuff.

"My raven dont go I will tell your father you going to be home late after all he is my son..he would understand please stay we have to talk about this.." She says attempting to follow me down the hall to the front door.

"Grandma you know I have never left our sessions but today...today was just too much I am really worried about what this could mean for me.."
I respond wiping my involuntary tear away.
"Ashanti stay-Grandma please I really wasnt ready for this...im sorry i promise next time..really"
I begin to panic.

I need to get out of here know!
I run out.

Maybe this is why I have been having that wierd dream....I just hope everything was a mistake but with grandma it never usually Is.
