Time had gone by, Ming and Caesar are now 18 and Christmas was getting closer as well as school being normal, the gang of friends had managed to stay out of trouble. It was Friday and the last day of school before the school closed for winter holiday, Jazmine was panicking because of the news she had just received and was trying to find Huey. For some reason today when she needed him the most, he has been the hardest to find.
After arriving home from school, she quickly put down her things before running over to the Freeman residence looking for her boyfriend. She knocked on the door in a rush and knocked, she needed to get to him quickly. The door finally opened and Jazmine was met with Royalty on the other side smiling at her.
"Hey sis, you ready for the sleepover tomorrow?" Royalty asked her. The girls decided that they needed to have a sleepover as they haven't had one since the school year started and so much has happened since then they felt as if they hadn't had much time together since they've mainly been with their boyfriends. They were staying at Cindy's for two nights before everyone go off with their families for Christmas.
"Yes and no. I still have to pack some things but I can just do that tomorrow morning. As of right now, I need to find Mr. Huey P Freeman." Jazmine told her as they both walked further into the house, they both walked up stairs, Royalty went into Riley's room and Jazmine walked into Huey's.
When she entered, he was sitting at his desk on his laptop doing work, at the sound of the door opening, he turned around and saw Jazmine standing there looking flustered. He got up to greet her by giving her a kiss which lasted longer than they thought it would. Jazmine would have continued it but remembered why she was in a hurry to get over there so she reluctantly pulled away from his soft lips.
"Wait, stop trying to distract me. I need you tonight. My parents are going to some fancy Christmas party and I need you there to be less boring, they're dragging me to go and I had to beg them to allow you to come with me. Be ready at 6 sharp." Jazmine quickly told him.
"So, what made you think I would agree to coming with you?" He questioned her.
"Because I am your girlfriend, what I say goes and because you love me." She jokingly said to him as she finally sat down next to him on the bed.
"You're right. You are my girlfriend and I do love you but no not all the time what you say goes." He casually told her as she looked shocked at what he said. It was not how they both pictured them to say those three words but it seemed like a very Huey way to say so and Jazmine didn't care.
"Aww, I love you too baby." Jazmine smiled at him and pulled him down into a loving kiss. They felt as if they have loved each other ever since they could remember but felt it was too early in their relationship to say it to each other. "That means you're coming with me today yaay. Its Christmas themed so try and put some colour into it, I'll be back later." She tried to leave until Huey pulled her back into his lap.
"Who said I agreed?" He asked her as he stared into her big emerald green eyes.
"You did. Bye." Jazmine pulled him into a quick kiss and left before he could hold her back and ran to her house leaving Huey shaking his head at his girlfriend's antics and forcing himself to now find an outfit to wear. The things he does for that girl.
It was coming up to six and Huey was getting ready to leave his house. He had on a black suit with a crimson red tie on, she had told him to wear something Christmas and even though he didn't care he still tried. He made his way downstairs to be greeted by Riley who just looked at him and laughed.
"Damn nigga. Where you off to in that tight ass suit?"
"It's not tight. I have to go to a stupid dinner party with Jazmine and her parents because she begged me to come." Huey told him as he fixed himself up in the hallway mirror.
"She got you whipped." Riley laughed at his older brother making Huey roll his eye.
"You're more whipped than mine nigga. You and Royalty have been together for a year and don't try and act like you didn't go all out for her anniversary." Huey committed which was true. They celebrated their year anniversary last weekend and Riley really spoiled her.
"Lies. I can get any bitch any time I want! Fuck you mean!"
"Your ass best not be thinking about it because you know I'll beat your motherfucking self-up, I ain't playing. Fuck around and you get fucked up. I know how to fuck a bitch and a nigga up; I dare you to try me!" Royalty shouted from the kitchen before Huey could even say anything. The look of Riley's face almost made Huey physically laugh.
"Yes Queen, sorry." He apologized to her as he walked to her to beg for forgiveness. Huey just shook his head, said his goodbyes and left to go to Jazmine's house, dreading for the night ahead. This was the last place he wanted to be today.
"Hey, Huey. You look amazing. Jazmine is trying a new look today I think you're going to love it! Thank you for agreeing to coming, it wasn't easy getting her to finally say yes." Sarah smiled at him as she let him into the house. Sarah was wearing a short off shoulder light blue dress and Tom was wearing a black and white tux.
"Now Huey, Jazmine probably hasn't told you but this is very important for our business so play along and try not on go on your rants of yours, you'll scare the people." Tom lectured him making Huey want to tell Tom a few words about himself.
"Jazmine! We're going to be late; you need to come down now!" Tom called. Huey could hear shuffling before his girlfriend made her way down the stairs and everything looked like it was in slow motion.
She had on gold open toe heels with painted toes and she was wearing a long, body hugging, silk, crimson dress with thin straps. Jazmine was looking like a beautiful Goddess with the matching lipsticks but then, something ruined everything. Her hair was straight. He was pissed. When he first met Jazmine that's all she wanted to do but with the influence of Huey, she managed to accept her hair for what it was and hasn't attempted to straighten it since. Her hair was long and reached the top of her round and plumped bum.
"Doesn't her she look beautiful Huey? And look, we finally got her hair to stay straight!" Her mother told him excitedly to which he never replied. Jazmine gave him a tight hug and he could see her fake smile that only he seemed to realize.
"We have no time for chit-chat, let's go." Tom rushed them out of the door and out to the family's expensive car and rode in silence to the event.
They arrived to the Christmas party where they were met with Sarah and Toms coworkers. They made their way inside and Huey was sick when he saw all the Christmas decorations. It was overkill. They got drinks and stood around observing for a while until the drinks were finished.
"We are going to mingle with other people, just try and be good." Sarah told them as if they were children but they nodded either way. Once they walked away Jazmine let out a breath she has been holding since she got there.
"Finally, they're gone. Do you see my hair? It took me nearly two hours to straighten my hair just so I wouldn't get in trouble with my parents and allow you to come. This will take so long to get back to the original way." She complained as she looked up at Huey.
"Don't worry, I understand, no matter how much I dislike it... Have I told you you're looking extra beautiful today despite having the straighter hair that I dislike very much but you make any look sexy?" He whispered the last bit in her ear making her shiver under his breath on her neck. He knew just how to make her feel better and it was working.
"Wow is that Jazmine?" The two heard from behind them. They turned to see one of her parent's coworker that has known Jazmine for around 5 years with her husband.
"Yeah, its me." Jazmine plastered on her fake smile on her face as she greeted the woman in a hug while Huey just politely nodded.
"Your hair is amazing! I wish mine was that long. So how is school? I hear you're working so hard. Top of your classes. Maybe you should be a lawyer like your parents." She one joked and Jazmine pulled the fakest laugh she could pull.
"I don't know. We'll see once I graduate. This is my boyfriend Huey. Huey this is Kimberly and her husband Alex." Jazmine introduced, ignoring the comment on her hair. She felt like people were going to say something about her hair multiple times tonight.
"How many times do I have to tell you Jazmine, call me Kim. It's nice to meet you young man loving the fro. Now as much as I wish to stay and chat to you young people I gotta talk to the grown up now." Kimberly gave Jazmine two air kisses on each side of her face before dragging her husband away, leaving the best friends alone.
"Fro?" Huey said humorously. Jazmine lightly smacked his arm before pulling him around the room to meet the rest of her parent's coworker.
The rest of the night consisted of fake laughs, smiles and Huey trying his best to hold his tongue. They were forced to take a lot of pictures as well for some strange reason but they did look amazing together. They even managed to find people their age they could at least stand for at least 20 minutes before moving off on their own again talking and joking in a way only they would understand. They even managed to sneak away around four times to have quick make out sessions before her parents dragged them to stay with them for the last hour and a half.
Jazmine looked over at her boyfriend. His face may have been straight but she felt as if she could always see general hints of a smile whenever she talked to him. She was glad to know that she was the only one that could have that effect on him and he knew it, she just didn't know if he would admit it. She watched him talk and just let out a happy sigh as she looked at the man she loved. Damn was she whipped.
Well that was a bit cute wasn't it? There is going to be much needed girl time in the next chapter just wait and see.
