Jazmine's POV
The sweetest thing I've ever known
Was like a kiss on the collarbone
Soft caress of happiness
The way you walk, your style of dress
I turned my iPod off when I heard a knock on my bedroom door. I went to open the door to see that Huey was standing outside my bedroom. He was dressed in his typical attire, which consisted of a black T-shirt under an olive green jacket, black jeans, and black combat boots. He said, "Morning, Jazmine". "Morning, Huey", I replied with a smile. I was mentally relieved that I got dressed early, so he wouldn't see me in my pajamas. A smile crept upon my face as I thought of something.
"What do you want?", he asked.
"How did you know I want something", I asked him though it was stupid of me to ask when dealing with a clever person like Huey.
"You always smile like that when you want something", he said smirking. I rolled my eyes.
"Fine, can you go with me to the mall to help me do some last minute Christmas shopping", I asked giving him my best sad face.
"No, I only came here to drop off your dad's camera", he said already turning around to leave.
"Huey, come on. You don't have anything better to do. What's wrong with going to the mall hanging out with your best friend", I asked him.
"No Jazmine", he said again flatly.
When he opened the door, I ran as fast I could toward him. Just when he was about to turn around, it was too late. I tackled him into the snow.
"Jazmine!", I heard him yell, as I laughed. Soon, he was losing his balance and we fell over. I opened my eyes to see me on top of Huey with his arms around my waist. I stared deep into his red-brown eyes.
Huey's POV
It was hard as hell trying to control my hormones. I have the perfect opportunity to kiss Jazmine and I was being my same difficult self. My mind went blank just staring at her, so I said whatever came to mind.
"Um, ready to go", I asked, mentally slapping myself at the realization.
Immediately she jumped off me and dragged me to my car. We got in and I started driving. It was too quiet so I turned the radio on.
I wish I didn't get so weak
Ooh baby just to hear you speak
Makes me argue just to see
How much you're in love with me
See like a queen, a queen upon her throne
It was the sweet, sweetest thing I've known
Thank God her head was turned the other way and she had on headphones, not noticing the huge blush on my face. What the hell is wrong with me? Suddenly, my cell phone rang. I rolled my eyes seeing it was Riley.
"Yeah?", I said.
"Ay! Nigga where you at? We up in hur decorating the house.", Riley yelled in the phone.
"I'm going to the mall with Jazmine, helping her with shopping", I told Riley
"Oh, I see. A'ight, I'll leave you niggas alone. I'll just have Caesar and Cindy finish the decorating", he said laughing. "NIGGA DA FUCK?!", I heard Caesar and Cindy say simultaneously.
"Riley, will you stop saying that. I don't like her like that", I snapped.
"Boy, please you niggas been feeling each other since y'all was ten. Y'all need to hurry up, too. I gots money ridin on this shit.", Cindy said in the phone.
"Alright, niggas and niggetes back to work!", I heard Granddad say.
"Later, nigga. You better make a move soon", Riley said.
"Sure, Riley", I said sarcastically.
"Whatever, nigga", he said before hanging up. I gently moved Jazmine to wake her up, she had been sleeping peacefully,
"We're here", I said getting out the car. Seeing her not wanting to get out, I went over to the passenger seat and opened the door. I rolled my eyes and picked her up bridal style.
"Come on, Jazmine you have to walk", I said.
"Just until we get to the front", she mumbled, burying her head in my neck. I sighed but complied anyway.
Maybe just maybe…those idiots are right.
What do y'all think? Chapter 2 will be up soon, but lemme know what you Boondockers think. R&R please.
