Part of the Puzzle

Chapter 7

"Lameeeeeeeeeeee! Plus, he already told me he ain't trust you so watch ya back, homie." I joked. "Nah, nah, just you wa--"

I stopped listening because my door had been forcifully opened. "What the...?!" And there stood the most annoying, most protective, most bestest big brother in the world. "What do you want Siah?" I questioned much like Kyla, a few moments ago.

"Drop the attitude, kid, I was asking was you hungry because I brought pizza, but since you wanna act like you gotta dick in ya ass, I'ma take my kindness back!" However, I didn't hear much after pizza, because I was already out of my room and halfway down the stairs.

"Siah tell Kyla, I'll call her back!" I screamed from downstairs. "We all know that ain't gon happen so I just told her you said bye." He stated while reaching the last step. "Eh, well whatever." I said with a mouth full of pizza.

"Bruh, we have guests can you please eat with class." I was offended but he was right, I was eating like an animal.

Oh wait...I completely forgot that he was here. I slowly turned my head to the right to see a amused Kaz, sitting next to an unaware Pedro. He was just too absorbed in his 5 slices of meat lovers pizza and his phone, that he hadn't recognized the previous minutes and conversation. Kaz on the other hand was fully involved.

"Let her live, man. We don't care how she eats." Kaz defended me, and I gave him a small, shy smile. "Awww, prince charming standing up for his princesa." Pedro teased despite being the first Latino that I knew who didn't speak fluent Spanish. Such a disadvantage. "Dro, callete." I sniped. "Yeah, shut up," Kaz added.

"What? I didn't say anything no one didn't know already. We all know, just stop playing." Pedro is the worst, I repeat, the worst. I quickly averted my eyes to Josiah, in a pleading way to not worsen the awkwardness of the whole conversation. "Well, nice talking to ya, boys. I'm going back in my room," I stated, as I grabbed a plate and 2 more slices of pizza. I hurriedly got a bottle of water from the refrigerator and ascended the stair before anyone else could add their opinion to the mix.

One eventful day I had. Hopefully, it'd be over soon. I don't know how much more foreshadowing and serious conversations I can take.

As soon as I got back to my room, I called Kyla back only because I told her I would, and to fill her in on the recent happenings then I told her I had things to do. We hung up.

I sat in my room listening to one of my favorite throwbacks, I Wanna Be Down by Brandy. I've been surfing on Instagram, and posting on Snapchat.

Just when I was about to return to a uneventful scroll on Instagram, there was a knock on my door. "Come in...," I stated wondering who was at my door.

And there he was. Black Adonis, himself. Heart eyes were popping like fireworks in my mind, but on my face was a small smile. Gotta play it cool.

"Hey." Kaz said shyly. "Hi..." I replied. I sat up in my bed and locked my phone. "So..."

"...I was wondering..." He put his hands in his pockets and looked down. What's going on? "Well, I was just wondering what you were doing on Friday...," he asked.

Oh.

"Oh...," I was way thrown off. "Um, I actually have nothing to do." I smiled a VERY small smile.

"Cool, cool. So do you," he looked down at my bedroom floor and put his hand on the back of his neck and rubbed, "wanna maybe hang out?" Oh my gosh, why was he so nervous. I've never seen him so nervous, not even before a game. He's so cute.

I'm gonna make this conversation normal again because him being weird is not working for me. "No." I simply stated. His face fell completely and I attempted to hold my laugh inside. I started giggling. He mumbled an alright before he was about to walk out of the door, I spoke up for obvious reasons.

"Kaz!" I shouted at him, and he turned around. "You know, I was just kidding, right? I was kidding. Of course, I'd love to hang out with you." I tried to convince him, but his face didn't brighten. His face just went blank and he started staring at me. And all of that was before he squinted his eyes, and slowing creeped closer to me.

"Uh, whatchudoin?" I crooked my neck. "Hey uh Kaz, you good? You heard me right? I was kidding..." And he continued to inch towards me until he was inches away. He towered over me, like I really felt...towered.

He slightly tilted his head to the side and before I could screw my face up and ask him what the hell he was doing for the second time, he lifted his...very nice arms and started tickling me. I instantly fell back onto my bed and Kaz followed me.

"STOOOOOPPPPP KAA....ZZZ!!!" I screamed slash laughed all while trying to breathe. "Say pleaseeeeee" he teased.

"Pleeeaa.....seee...HAHA...Kazzzzz...please," took my third breath, "stop." And he did. "You need to stop messing with me sir!" I poked him in his chest after we both stood up.

He cocked his eyebrows all wannabe seductive like and quietly stated, "You know you love it." 

"I do not." I answered, pouting because he tickled me. "I'll text you the details later," he said, still laughing a little.

"Alrighty, then. What are we doing though?"

"You'll see," Kaz smirked and then left the room.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After Ma came home, we talked a little and she went into her bedroom. Kaz and Pedro left about 10 minutes ago, after all of them came up here to tease me as a team. It's 10:38PM and I heard the front door opened. My dad, I guess. Just gonna pretend to be asleep.

I lay in the dark thinking about my life, well specifically today. Today was one crazy ass day and I'm done. I've been through like 3 months worth of events in less than 24 hours.

Anyway I heard my door open, and my dad stated in his father voice, "Jailyn?" I didn't answer. He walked over to me and kissed my forehead, and whispered, "Love you, sweetheart." My dad is so cute when he's being nice.

My dad isn't an abuser or anything along the lines, he just has a quirky way of showing his love. And everyone else thinks it's so weird but, that's just how it is. He soon exited my room and closed my door.

I popped my eyes open and was left alone with my thoughts once again.

Man, hopefully not every day this year is like today, because I definitely cannot handle this much excitement.
