Chapter 8

Sirayah didn't tell Huey or anyone else about her encounter with Jazmine. She made Cindy promise her not to say anything either. She couldn't explain why she hid it…probably because she didn't want to seem rude and running off to tell Huey what a 'big bad mean girl' Jazmine was. She felt like that was something a 16 year old would do. It wasn't like Jazmine hit her or said anything damning to her…so why bother to tell anyone? It was meaningless. Jazmine had her reasons, she was sure.

"Ahh, it's so hot." She muttered as she sat in her window, wearing her white yoga pants with the matching camisole that was covered in graffiti pattern. She was at home bored, Kase was supposed to her have her bachelorette party coming Saturday…good Lord, the shit she knows she will see. Getting up, she decided to go out, get some ice cream or something. She denied the offer, but Huey gave her some money. She was already thought to be a ho at school thanks to Riley, whom is her suspected pimp. She would stretch it out until his job gave her a call back. Slipping on her white ballerina shoes and tying her hair up in a messy bun, letting curl strings loose, she grabbed her clutch wallet, cell, and keys and walked out the door. She walked down the street to the Crème Shoppe. As she passed the Freeman house, Riley bustled out the door.

"Aye ho, get yo' ass in my car." He laughed before getting in.

"Shut up ass!" she screamed as he drove off, he was truly impossible! With time their… "relationship" improved, if 'improvement' was the right word for it. Shaking her head, she continued her trek to the Shoppe. Once there, she walked right on in, not paying attention to the girls who were sitting in the booth next to the window.

"Hi beautiful, how can I help you today?" the guy with wild sandy brown hair asked. He was obviously mixed and had the prettiest, green brown eyes ever.

"Let me get the Vanilla ice cream topped with berries please." She smiled. He returned the smile and rung her up. She slide to the side of the counter, awaiting her order.

"Hey, you." She turned to the familiar voice. Jazmine was sitting amongst those girls she didn't bother to notice.

"Oh…hi Jazmine."

"Come sit with us." Jazmine said, with a tone Sirayah couldn't exactly read. She got nervous. She was the quiet type in high school, especially around girls. Brooklyn girls are nothing to fuck with, they'd fucking slit your neck wide open if they even think you were sleeping with their men. That's why Sirayah was still a virgin and very weary of relationships if the ex was near. She never does well against exes. Not that she was guilty of anything, but she still felt uneasy being around Huey ever since meeting her. She could remember how one girl threatened her in the hall way, yelling at her, accusing Sirayah of sleeping with her boyfriend. She did like the guy and gave him her number, she didn't even try to tell her the honest truth, she didn't know about her and if she did…of course she would never steal anyone away. But…she wound up having to fight the girl away from her. People like Sirayah was rare, her step-mother told her that. Women don't trust other women, point blank. People don't respect boundaries anymore, and seeing she's the type that tries to do so, she'd always to try to plead her case, that's the most adult thing to do. Her mind was racing as she took her seat next to the girl, facing Jazmine. The girl to her left had long black hair with a blue bang resting over her eye, blue crop top and very short shorts. Her skin was as smooth Hershey complexion and the nails on her fingers as well toes were freshly done. The girl next to Jazmine was around Rihanna's shade…along with the red ass hair. Jazmine smiled dimly at her.

"So, how are you doing this hot ass day?" she asked her. "Oh, these are my friends. The one you're sitting next to is Chardonnay, and this bad bitch here is Sharrel."

"Hey." Both girls greeted, with no feeling what's so ever. This was a trap. She knew it.

'I'm waiting to be jumped on.' Sirayah thought. "Hey." She responded.

"Girls, why don't you guys wait out at the car, I wanna have a one on one with her." Sirayah stood to let Chardonnay out, whose brown eyes were locked on her the entire time she got up and left, same for Sharrel. She sat back down once she was out the way. Jazmine's emerald eyes pierced threw her gray orbs.

"You're dating Huey. Aren't you?"

"Yes…" she said. Damn, what was taking that ice cream so long to be made? She was long ready to go.

"Mmm, I know what you're thinking; I'm not here to bitch at you, rather, to warn you." Warn her? About what? Jazmine saw the puzzled expression on her face.

"Using people. That's all either Freeman brothers know how to do. Huey doesn't know how to love anyone but himself." Jazmine's words were cutting like a razor…but all Sirayah could do was sit there. She sighed and continued.

"You know…I was somewhat like you. Always optimistic, always upbeat, always looking for the good in things…there's nothing good about Huey. He enjoyed his emotional attacks on me…even as a kid." Sirayah frowned slightly.

"Back when were kids, it was sooo impossible for me to believe in the tooth fairy, but it was all right for him to think the FBI was after him, things only work for Huey when it's convenient for him, but I think you've had a dose of that…haven't you?"

She has. But…she made Huey sound so…off. She know Huey had his moments but…if he really didn't care, then he wouldn't have given her money with no strings attached, or helped her with school, or even gave his job a tip about her.

"He's incapable of loving anyone. I was in need of his help and he turned a blind eye to me! He tricked me! I thought he loved me! After I had sex with him, he tossed me aside and never looked back."

Sirayah didn't know if she could really believe that part. Huey wasn't like everyone else. He could be called a robot, but he wasn't an asshole.

"Why are you telling me all this?" She managed to speak.

"Because I don't want Huey to take your soul from you either, I don't want you to be half the woman you were before meeting him….like me."

"Huey is a beautiful doll…but you want to know something about dolls? You kiss them but they won't kiss back. You can love them…but it won't love you back."

Sirayah gasped.

'I don't think I can love you.'

She stared at the table. Her mind was yelling at her for even listening to this woman. Doubt and anxiety came back to her once more. What if Jazmine was really telling the truth? Then she'd could be in loveless place…and she didn't want that. She wanted to be in love…but she also didn't want to be the only one in love.

"You and Cindy need to learn how cold those brothers are." Wait…what? What the hell does Riley have to do with it?

"Why does Cindy need to learn?" She raised an eyebrow. Jazmine just shook her head and stood up.

"Welcome to the real world. They'll call you, use you, and then take all that's left of you. Huey doesn't want love, he wants someone to own, someone to control. He loves to toy with emotions because he doesn't have any of his own. I guess that's why he likes girls like us…we're easy to break." She left Sirayah sitting there.

"Hey! Your ice cream's ready!" the guy cried. Slowly standing up Sirayah walked to the door, head hanging.

"Don't want it." And she left.

o0o

"What the fuck?" Huey literally yelled at his cell phone. Riley was sitting on the floor, playing his Playstation over his house. For days now, Sirayah had been straight avoiding him like he had given her a STD or something! Her ass is always busy, too tired, too something. Huey could smell the bullshit radiating from the phone whenever they'd talk.

"What's up?" Riley said, looking back at him.

"Sirayah's been avoiding me and it's fuckin' pissing me off." He growled.

"Her ass is seeing someone else." Riley teased.

"She's avoiding me, she's not being stupid." He rolled his eyes. But then again, she was acting funny since she got her dress for the wedding done. Never wanting to make out, never wants him at the house anymore, she even started to take the bus to school. He wanted to know what the hell was up all this shit. Well she better bottoms up, because she was recently hired at Trios and she'll see his ass everyday.

"Mmmm….yeah I think it's someone else." He nodded. Huey stood up.

"I'm going over there, fuck that shit." He grabbed his keys and walked to the door.

"Don't fuck anything up while I'm gone." Huey told his younger brother.

"Hahaha-shut the hell up."

"C'mon! Tell me! What Huey do?" Kase asked Sirayah for the billionth time.

"Nothing…" she responded.

"Then why are you not talking to him?" Sirayah responded by sighing heavily.

"I need to think about some stuff."

"I won't lay off until you lay it to me straight!" Kase folded her arms. There was a knock downstairs door, then before long, Huey was in Sirayah's door way. Kase leaped off the bed without saying anything, he looked too pissed. She closed the door behind her.

"I give you rides to school, gave you a goddamn job, and this is how I'm repaid?" Huey directed his hands to his chest.

"It's not like that-"

"Then tell me why you've been fucking avoiding me! Oh Huey…I'm too busy, too tired. What the fuck did I do?"

"Nothing!" Sirayah yelled.

"BULLSHIT!"

"I just…I just need to think okay? I've been under a lot of stress lately!" Huey walked closer to the bed.

"What are you trying to hide from me? You've been acting suspect for the longest. " She shook her head.

"Why do you care so much? Quit acting like it bothers you."

"What the hell is that suppose to mean?" Huey frowned deepened. "Who's the bitch?"

"What?"

"It's that Cassis son of a bitch isn't it?" he spat.

"No! Huey…I just…" she sighed and looked at the window. She didn't want to tattle on Jazmine, but at the same time…that was why she was acting weird towards him. She was confused, she's never been in this type of situation that went so deep so fast…she couldn't handle it.

"You and I…may not be so compatible after all. I mean…I'm polar opposites of you Huey…I can't possibly be the one to teach you how to love I'm too-"

Huey jumped on top of her, kissing her madly. His hands traveled across her legs as he made out with her. Breaking the kiss, he put his face in her neck, taking in the coco butter and soy milk scent he grew to love.

"Look…I'm not perfect. I know I haven't been completely open, but don't shut me out like this. I need you. I love you." Sirayah looked at him in shock. He rolled off her, lying on her shoulder.

"Love is an unethical emotion. It makes you do and say the most illogical things. I'm trying to reform my people…this country…love would only distract me. That's how I'd think. But...once I met you…it seems like my most inner desires flared up again…and I couldn't…and wouldn't stop the fire." I gave her shoulder a peck and sighed.

"Jazmine and I were never stable. I tried to tell her that she shouldn't be as insecure as she was with her hair…and herself as a person. I tried to let her know she was okay…just the way she was. But…she met these girls…and Jazz was never the same after that. She started drinking, partying more…hell I could remember one night she came to my dorm high on…something. When I tried to help her, she just got mad at me and through a bottle at my head…knocking me out. After that…I left her."

She felt so stupid for actually listening to her or rather gave what she said some thought. Chardonnay and Sherrel must be the girls Huey was talking about. She was right on Huey being sadistic with emotions…but she knew that not even he could be that awful. Huey wasn't that bad of a person…when he wanted to be, he was a really sweet man who'd wouldn't mind by helping you.

"Huey I…I'm so…sorry." She turned her back to him. "I don't deserve you." She let tears escape her eyes. He rose up and turned her head to his.

"You deserve all of me." He put his head to hers. "I'm being open, why not tell me the real reason you were acting like that."

She blushed as he fixes her to where she was now on top of him, his hands squeezing her ass ever so lightly. She rested her head on his strong chest.

"Well…I met Jazmine. She talked to me." Knowing Huey, that was enough for him.

"Don't you ever listen to one side without hearing out the other."

"Well…you weren't a track star at telling me things…"

"…True. But still, you could have told me."

"Sorry." She smiled a small smile. "I guess I was scared that Jazmine could be right and yet…I wouldn't able to stop loving you too…" Huey was the first she said she loved. He would be the first everything. Perhaps her soul was already stolen, and it was too late.

"Hey Huey…I'll move in with you."
