CHAPTER THREE
THE WEEKEND HAD come quickly then celeste expected or liked. she also found herself being around darrian more often than she thought she would. but she wasn't complaining.
she was currently in slumped up in her bed, the show jessie was playing in the background for sound purposes since it was quiet throughout the house. her dad had told her he'd come off in the morning and suggested she could stay at a friends house but she didn't wanna bother anyone.
she did wanna go over to darrian's house since he had asked her multiple times but she'd always made a excuse not to go. it was like on que because darrian just texted her.
yo leste, im comin
ova , send me the lo .
ok?
why tho
cause i wanna
be wit you tf ?
ok
leste 🖤🎧. started sharing her location.
celeste subconsciously smiled at the text and slowly made her way out of her king sized bed to make her room look a bit presentable.
she started with picking up random wrappers off the floor and shoving them in the garbage. celeste changed her led lights to white before she heard her knocks on her front door.
she walked quickly to the door and opened it to see darrian with a ski mask on. he was looking the other way then turned his head when he heard the door open.
his eyes were low and reddish meaning he was mostly high off one or two blunts.
"hi leste." darrian wrapped his arms around her waist while she did the same with his neck. "you smell good." he mumbled close to her neck making a funny feeling swell in her stomach, "thank youu." she spoke lowly not trying to make his ears hurt since he already looked tired.
darrian lingered on the hug for a couple more seconds before letting go. "you want something to eat? i have pizza rolls in the microwave." she suggested and he nodded in response.
darrian quickly looked over her appearance. her curly hair framing her face perfectly, nike pro shorts and a white oversized shirt. even though it was the simplest thing ever, he still found her pretty.
darrian trailed behind her and sat one of the stools that were next to the island. he pulled off his ski mask and played with stool that started spinning on leaving him shocked.
"this shi spins?" he said shocked making celeste laugh softly as she leaned on the island. "why'd you wanna come over?" she put her hands on both of her cheeks waiting for a response
darrian smacked his teeth in annoyance and made eye contact with celeste. "cause i wanna be with you celeste, stop askin dumb questions." his words were dragged but celeste could make out what he said.
she nodded forcing to keep the smile off her face. the alarm from the microwave went off and she turned around to take the plates she had placed in there.
she gently placed the glass plate in the island making her way around the island to sit next to darrian. the two started eating in complete silence. it wasn't always silence tho, darrian was high and too tired to talk and celeste was being her usual self.
darrian then remembered the plan that his friends had made for the next day, "your trying to come the carnival tomorrow?" his voice was raspy due to the fact he hadn't talked.
celeste thought for a second until nodding slowly. "who's gonna be there?" she asked lowly, "just dd and em." darrian replied beforing yawning. celeste turned her head to have view of his face perfectly. his curly hair was currently out and he was in a dark blue nike tech.
darrian felt her eyes poking at the side of his face so he turned around, trying very hard to keep the smirk off his face.
"what you lookin so hard fo?" this made celeste's cheeks heat up for about the sixth time this week. celeste brought her hands to cover he red cheeks.
darrien kissed his teeth and dusted his hands to pull her hands off. "you blush so fuckin easily." he laughed, still holding her hands. "no, i don't, you just──" she stopped her sentence not knowing how to end it. she looked away, knowing that would edge darrian on.
like she knew, darrian smacked his lips together and grabbed her chin, not roughly but firmly enough to force her to look at him. "like what celeste?" he said lowly.
celeste shook her head once again not realizing how hard her heart was beating. darrian looked at her for a couple of seconds then, letting it go, knowing she wouldn't tell him anything.
celeste stayed quiet until darrian finished the plate of pizza rolls and washed it.
darrian noticed that she hadn't talked this whole time and jumped to the conclusion that she was mad at him. "leste, you mad or sum? i ain't make you to feel bad." his voice went soft like it always went he was talking to her.
celeste frowned at the thought that he thought she was mad at him, "no, why?" she honestly replied now making eye contact with him. "ion know you wasn't talkin." he shrugged while fidgeting with the ski mask.
celeste hummed in response and decided she didn't want to stay in the kitchen anymore. "uh, you wanna go in my room?" she asked nervously not wanting to make him uncomfortable but he just nodded and got up from the stool.
the two walked in the white lighted up room and celeste fell back into her bed sliding off her black yeezy slides making herself comfortable in the floral print covers. darrian plopped next to her watching the scene of jessie that was playing on the tv.
celeste heard shifting on the side of darrian's side and she just thought he was getting comfortable. that was until she felt his head fall into her lap. she looked down to see darrian with his eyes closed and a calm look sat on his face.
celeste slowly brought her hands to his hair scratching it softly. darrian hummed in satisfaction, stuffing his face into her stomach.
"leste." he said barely above a whisper. "hm?" "you sure you not mad?" he asked again trying to hide the hint of worry in his voice but it didn't go unnoticed by celeste. "yes, d, your good." she laughed softly and she could feel darrian lips lift into a smile into her stomach.
"you wanna match for the carnival tomorrow?" when the words left his lips he instantly got embarrassed. "you don't got to──yes." she cut him off. "oh ight, i thought you was gonna dub a nigga." he chuckled slowly.
"never that. now let's look for some fits." she patted around the bed for her phone to find darrian looking at the polaroid picture of her and her dad in the phone case.
but mostly her.
"you look pretty." he said again before passing the phone to her, "thank you." the blood surged through her cheeks as she used her face id to unlock the phone. darrian took his head of her lap and stuffed it into her shoulder, his curly hair ticking her a bit.
the two scrolled on pintrest for a bit, pointing out the ones they liked as celeste saved them to a unorganized board.
the pair settled on an comfy red bape sweatsuit, easier for both of them since they already had it in their closet. "with the red thunder fours right?" she yawned while nodding at his question.
celeste clicked her phone off then planted her face on the soft pillow. darrian turned off the tv and changed the led color to a light blue. he switched his body to face celeste who was already knocked out, small snores leaving her mouth.
darrian didn't even realize the smile that had formed on his face and pulled her closer to his chest and wrapped his arms around her waist. he slowly fell asleep to the sound of her calm heartbeat.
that night was the best sleep he had in a while.
