^^ first date ^^

Brooklyn

I had no choice I had to take Ayo up on his offer. . . what? It's getting late and I have no means of transportation.
Just you wait Barry you're gonna get it from me this time.

"We're here baby boo," Ayo says.

"Oh, thanks for the ride, I owe you one," I say and open the door to his car to get out but he stopped me.

"You owe me one huh, okay how about you go watch a movie with me this Saturday?" he asks. Wait! Is he asking me out on a date?!

"Like a date?" I ask and he chuckles.

"Sure like a date," he says.

"Sure, why not," I say trying my best not to start smiling like an idiot.

"Bye sweet cheeks," he smirks.

"Don't call me that!" I say my face turning red.

"Oh but you like it."

"I don't!" I reply and hurriedly got out of the car before he had the chance to say anything in return.

"Hey momma, what's cooking? Dinner smells great," I walk into the kitchen and give her a small kiss on the cheek.

"Hey hon, why are you back so late today?" she asks stirring the pot of chicken soup in front of her.

"Momma, it's been one heck of a day today. Found out my twin is unreliable," I say with pout.

"Hon, don't say that. You know Barry loves you," momma says.

"Yeah, I love him too but. . . He's never there. . . Nevermind. Where is he?" I ask.

"Oh, he went for basketball practice."

"Just nice, I was ditched for basketball practice," I mutter to myself and left for my room.

It's Friday, I'm so giddy. I made sure my alarm went off this time, and early too.  Going late to school is super embarrassing, anyways I'm so tired of wearing skirts. I'm out of that phase.
I decided to go with a knee length baby pink dress and a little bit of makeup.

Picking up my backpack, I skip happily down the stairs feeling proud of myself for finishing on time and looking this good at the same time.

With a sheepish smile on my face I entered the kitchen with everyone in their usual spot. Mom making omelettes, dad sitting on a stool at the kitchen island with the morning newspaper in his hands and Barry sitting on the kitchen counter eating a bowl of fruit salad.

"Good morning guys," I greet.

"Morning Beeee!" Barry says, he looks at me, "are you wearing makeup?"

"Yeah so?" I pick a grape from his plate and plop it in my mouth.

"You never wear makeup, what are you trying to impress?" He raise a brow.

"Dad?!!"

"Barry leave your sister alone she can wear makeup if she wants to, you look gorgeous by the way darling.

"Thank you daddy." I say to him but I'm smiling at Barry. He mouths me 'whatever' and continues eating his fruit salad.

"How was your night hon," momma looks up from the table where she was setting the plate to briefly give me a smile before turning back.

"Breakfast is ready," momma announce and we all sat down round the table for breakfast which was bacon, eggs, bread and tea.

"Princess, how has school been?" dad asks.

"It's been good," I say with a smile.

"So do you have any friends yet?" momma asks.

"No, I find it quite hard to talk to people," I reply seriously, because honestly the only people I talk to are Barry and Ayo, hell I don't talk to Barry's friends. The little Q&A goes on until Barry and I are done with breakfast.

"Alright momma, dad we're out," I say and give momma and dad little pecks on their heads before heading out, Barry said goodbye with a wave.

Getting in his car I found his dirty gym socks on the car seat.

"Beeee, you don't ever keep your car clean," I say in mock sadness, he just laughed and shrugs.

"The car moves doesn't it?"

"Yeah. . .but-"

"No, shhhh that's all that matters," he says cutting  me short and I just roll my eyes at him.

As I walked through the school hallway I feel happy, happy that I woke up early, happy that I'm alive, happy I have a family and happy that I met Ayo. . .
I'm suddenly pulled into the Janitor's closet. I start to panic because it's dark and I don't know who it is, my next decision is to throw punches in which ever direction.

"Ouch, you're hurting me boo," it's Ayo!

"Ayo?! What do you think you're doing pulling me into the janitor's closet?"

"I'm sorry sweetie, I just wanted to get some alone time with you," I can feel his smile. So, I start to smile.

"Why'd you have to pull me in here? You could've just approached me in the hallway."

"Naaah, too common. I prefer all this excitement, I like the thrill of it."

"Turn the lights on Ayo."

"Oh the lights, yeah sorry," I hear him flip the ligh switch and the light comes on. A bulb dangling from the ceiling by a wire.

"You look really good today," he says with a soft smile.

"As do you my good man," I say grinning he laughs and all of a sudden his hands slowly slips around my waist.

"I like this, I feel comfortable like this," he says as he pulls me close and lays his chin on my shoulder.
There's this sensation that runs from my belly to my heart, there's this heat that bothers me, I still myself as though I'm entranced but honestly I'm just confused.

Random question: if you could meet someone dead or alive who would it be?
