DD OSAMA
harlem, new york
[5;34 p.m ]

dd interlocks his hands with the darkskin girl who jus lets him. the two have met up upon the park and decided to walk around just like they planned.

on the outside dd was acting nonchalant, like this wasn't a big deal fo him but this kinda was. he had never been on a date it taken any of the girls he had talked before on dates. but it was just something with shayla that made him wanna do everything with the girl.

she was peaceful to him. she never talked when he didn't and didn't try anything with him. all the other girls throws themselves at him but shayla was calm and collected.

even though he was the opposite of the girl. he liked to speak his mind while shayla just decided to suck it up since she couldn't be bothered by anyone. it wasn't like the girl was scared or shy, she wasn't. she was just the type to never put herself in drama.

"oo dd look at that. that's such a cute dog smh." she coos, bringing up the hand that was interlocked with both of their fingers and pointing at it.

dd wasn't even paying attention to the dog, just how nicely their fingers wended together so effortlessly.

"i want a dog." shayla blurts out randomly causing dd to look at her. well her side profile which was godly but he was still listening. "what dog ya?" dd laughs.

shayla shrugs. "ion know just a dog. they so cute tho."

dd nods. he was now itching for a blunt randomly, he didn't know if shayla had smoked so he didn't know if it would bother her or anything like that. the lightskin boy automatically scrunched his face up, he never thought of anyone if they were bothered by him smoking he just smokes.

but now he's thinking if shayla's okay with it? oh he has it bad.

"aight this getting boring now." shayla says in all honesty. she thought walking in the park would be fun but it was just scary cause of the dark lights that settled pretty early in new york.

dd frowns at her jokingly causing her to retract her words. "no— not you you ain't boring dee. it's jus this thing not fun as i thought. you know what i mean?" she said feeling bad.

the boy's frown turns upside down as he lets out a laugh. "yes ma i know what you sayin. i mean shi walkin in a park not that fun either. you wanna smoke?"

shayla blinks, "i ain't gonna lie. i never smoked before."

the lightskin boy looks at her with wide eyes. "you 16 and you neva got faded mami?"

the darkskin girl shakes her head, she felt a lil embarrassed now. with the way that she was held up in her household to be a perfect daughter she never got the chance to be free like that. she was always either in the salon doing someone's hair or at home doing homework.

and even worse. taking care of what her so called mother can't take care of. she has to take care of caro, caro. shayla had completely forgotten about the younger girl. she had her mind set on calling her on her ipad a couple days ago.

but she never did. but can you blame her? the girl really never gets time to herself so she doesn't get the opportunity to think of other people when they weren't with her.

it was a bad habit of hers, when the person wasn't with her or around her for a while she would just act like she doesn't even know they exist. she never called or texted first. she knows that's just straight up selfish but she doesn't care.

shayla never even hears from the person then.

but her sister? caro? or that lil girl was gonna text her every moment of her whole entire life. yes they haven't called yet but they've stayed in touch.

and the worse part about this was that her mom didn't even know this. she didn't know that shayla had given caro her old ipad. but if she ever did find that out shayla just knew she would get the screaming of her life.

and sometimes, it's not even just screaming.

"well ease up ma. yo perfect ass gonna get some dd factor in a minute just waittt," dd exaggerates as he begins to walk themselves towards his house.

shayla kept a blank expression on her face. yeah she wanted to smoke but in the back of her mind the thought of her mom knowing she was smoking was bothering her. and the thing with shayla is that you could tell when she was bothered.

she always tries to keep a smile on her face even when she was not in the best mood but it would always come off as forced and anybody with eyes could tell.

and it seemed like dd, he was one of them .

"yaya youn gotta smoke if you don't want to baby. i ain't forcing you." dd says in the softest voice she has heard but she's she has herd it cause he only ever talks soft to her.

shayla almost melts on the spot but she gotta get it together. "no i wanna smoke wit you. like i do. it's just.." she drags her words out as she looks away. dd smacks his lips at that. "it's just what?" he grabs her chin as they come to a halt in front of his house.

shayla wanted tot tell him. he wanted to tell someone how she felt emotionally about everything in her life. she literally wanted to pour out her whole soul to him. now she's beginning to sound like dd.

"it's nothing i promise." she lies with a slight smile in her face. dd groans. "don't lie to me shayyy. why don't you wanna tell me? you don't trust me or sumn?" he asks in a certain voice that made shayla want to give him her all.

"i trust you dee. and if you trust me you gon believe it's nothing." she looked him in the eyes. "aight but tell me if sum bother you fr shay." dd frowns at her while she just sends him a warm smile.

"i will."

the two walk into the house and shayla could already tell it was a household filled with love, unlike hers. "oou look who's back from his walk." notti laughed teasingly at his brother as he shoves the hot fries down his mouth.

shayla felt her insides doing flips at the thought of dd talking about her to his family members. "omg is this 'your heart, your love, your wife, your everything?" notti mesmerized the saved name dd has saved for shayla which caused the lightskin boy's cheeks to heat up.

ddot and notti were just cackling at notti's joke while shayla just stood there confused. "smh." dd mumbled as he takes her hand and drags her up to his room.

"i don't even get to say hi?" notti yelled in between his laughters as both of the teens made it up to dd's room. dd mad sure to lock his doors, letting out a sigh at how much he had gotten embarrassing in the matter of 5 seconds.

shayla took in the room she was in. it had led lights wrapped around it and it was pretty simple but it was clean. and shayla was clean maniac so she was glad for that.

"i'm sorry for him. that nigga be buggin, deadass." dd mumbled as he picked up his tray from his nightstand, sitting on his bed.

shayla walks over to him — just standing since she didn't know if she was allowed to sit on the bed yet. it was something that always stuck with her, when she would go to her moms room to do her hair she always had to ask if she could sit.

and if she didn't? she would get screamed at for messing up her bed then forced to scream the whole room.

"c'mon ma sit, ion like how you standin like that." dd pulls her arm to sit next to her. shayla decides to kick off her crocs she had on before. she makes herself comfortable since it wasn't really hard to, it was a comfortable ass bed.

the darkskin girl starts playing with her hair. she looked at the mirror that was directly across from the bed and saw her reflection and she couldn't lie, her hair was bomb as fuck.

"okay mami, look at me." dd told the girl who did just that.

"hm?"

dd smirks at that for some reason because just the littlest things that shayla does. it turns him on for some reason. "imma teach you how to smoke so scoot ova." he instructs her.

dd then furthers on to teach her how to inhale, exhale allat. he was pretty clear with his instructions and he didn't rush her which shayla liked.

she had gotten the hang of it but she wasn't amazing. but the way dd kept goshting the blunt was so cool to her she wanted to learn how to do it. "how you do that?" she asks, gesturing to him ghosting the blunt.

the lightskin boy smiles smugly. "you want me to teach you?" shayla nods. "aight just pay attention to me. just me."

and that's what she did.

shayla payed attention to every little move he was doing with his lips along with the blunt. after dd proceeds to ghost it she thought she knew how to do it now.

"you wanna try now?" he raises the blunt at her and she nods almost immediately. she puts the blunt in between her lips, completely missing the part when dd pulled out the phone to record her.  

she ended up doing it smoothly for the first time without chokin on her own breath but it made her feel dazed, which she didn't like.

she passed the blunt back to the boy who just out his phone down. "not gon lie that was sexy ma." he laughed as he put the blunt down in the tray.

shayla rolls her eyes as she lays down on his pillow. even his pillow was comfortable. the girl had completely tune out dd who was talking about something and fell asleep.

dd had watched her fallen asleep and payed no mind to it. him, himself was gonna take a small nap too but before he got himself comfortable he jumped up from his position in the bed.

he searched his drawers for the bonnet shayla had given her earlier today. he knew one thing about shayla was that she hated her hair being ruined.

dd had found it successfully as he went back to his bed. now was the hardest part was how to put it in her head without waking her up. he attempted to lift her head up on to his lap but shayla groaned and he automatically knew she had woken up again. he felt back because she had just fell asleep.

"what dee?" she mumbles tiredly as she begins to sit up but dd stops her by putting a hand on her back to stop her. "just put this in. i know you don't like ya hair bein messed up. plus it look real good."

shayla almost found it impossible to not smile at the boy who had so much care for her it scared the living shit outta her. "thank you dee."

"anything fo you my heart."

❤︎

"ma she sleepin i ain't gonna wake ha up." the curly head boy shook his head at the question. his mom was trying to get dd to get shayla to eat with them, as in dd, ddot, notti, her and melz.

dd doesn't wanna make her uncomfortable as the two haven't known each other for a long time to be already eating dinner with the family.

"why you so worried david? you never like this with the other girls you bring home." his mom points out. she was right because every single girl he had brung home, they leave right after 2 hours.

not even sometimes.

now half of the family knows shayla before they'd even met. notti snickers as he swallowed down his rice, "it cause he obsessed with her. that's his wife, his love his everything—" "aight imma get ha! imma go get her."

dd mugs notti who just continued on laughing while melz watched as dd bring his feet up to the stairs. even to her it was weird.

"shay is you awake?" dd knocked on the door but realized what he was doing. knocking his own door?

the boy shook his head to himself before opening it to see shayla still sleeping with her mouth wide open, drool coming out of her mouth. dd made sure to hide that away from her because if he didn't she would star apologizing so fast it'd make him feel bad.

"yaya get ya ass up." dd mumbled as he shook her up. shayla groans as she sixties awake.

she brings her hands to scratch the crust out of her eyes cause those always in her eyes. she touches around her face but before dd could pull her hand away she feels the drool.

dd watches as her face expression falls. "dee did i droll on your pillow what the fuck?" she mumbles, turning around to check but dd catches her just in time. "na you jus imagining things. but wash ya face to me real quick? my ma wanna meet you."

shayla's face doesn't even change it just falls once again. "dd." she smacks him the chest. "you didn't tell me this. i look like a bum." she groans as she sits up from the bed.

dd mugs her at that, grabbing her by the throat. "don't piss me off shayla. you beautiful you kno that. and from now on imma say it everyday to you, aight pretty?"

shayla smiles at how the boy was so aggressive but at the same time sweet with her. "yes i get it dee. now lemme jus go watch my face at least." dd let's go of her neck and nods. "imma see you there."

shayla nods and watches dd leave the room as she gets up to go to his connected bathroom. the girl washes her face with the bar of soap that were on one of the shelf's around the sink.

she now had a clean bare face with no makeup at all. sometimes shayla hated how her natural face looks but sometimes it looked okay. and today was one of the days it looked okay.

the darkskin girl stopped looking at herself since she knew the more she looked the uglier the reflection got.

shayla looks over her appearance, she didn't know when she had put the bonnet in her hair or where it even appeared from but she had a feeling it was dd which made her so grateful of the boy.

her braids were still neat and in contact.

shayla was only in a pair of jean shorts and a pink hoodie. she didn't know if it was appropriate to wear to the dinner since where she had been raised she wasn't allowed to wear outside clothes to eat.

well that was before she started making the dinner.

the girl walked out the room, not forgetting to slip on her crocs before walking out of dd's room also. she made her way down the stairs to where she heard dd talking.

the girl took her braids and touched them around a little even thought there was nothing wrong with them. shayla eventually came out of the corner she standing in and walked into the living room.

"omg dd's heart, dd's—" ddot started but dd threw a empty water bottle at him. ever since notti and him had seen the contact name they used it every single time he heard the name of shayla.

dd's mom saw the darkskin girl come into view and she smiled warmly at the girl. shayla could automatically see the resemblance between dd and his mom, they literally shared the same mouth.

"omg mija you so pretty." she squeals as she walked over to her and cascades her into a hug. she squeezes shayla so tight she was sure she was gonna choke her do death but melz pepper that, "okay ma you gon choke her."

"oh— i'm sorry my love. come eat! you like rice?" she offers the girl who smiles.

shayla sits next to dd whom was sweating for god knows reason. "wassup ma." notti pulls out his hand to dab shayla up who does it and sends her a bright smile.

she smiles back and leans back at her chair. she waves at the other lightskin boy who nodded his head to her as a greeting.

the dinner didn't go as back as shayla thought it would. dd's whole family was so welcoming and it made her feel like she was apart of it. and maybe you don't need to be blood to be family. you just need to be loved in your home.

was it too early for shayla to call this home?

when the dinner finishes shayla, as a reflex gets up and walks over to the sink — turning on the water to get ready to wash it. "girl what you doin?" the redhead girl laughs as she rolls up her sleeves.

shayla smiles at her awkwardly. "i was gonna watch my dish?"

melz laughed. "girl put that down. it's dd's turn to wash em tonight. dd! go be a husband to your wife and wash her fucking dish!"

dd perked up at the slight mention of shayla and immediately got up. melz purposely bumps into him, "oh wash mine while you at it." she places the glass plate in his hands.

the lightskin boy rolls his eyes. "oh and wash mine while you at it, dumb ass nigga." she mocked his sister while shayla just kisses her teeth. "don't talk bout ya sister like that dee."

dd's mug the forms into a smile. "aight jus for you."
