Jazmine laid on her bed deep within her thoughts last night seem so far, but her mind was still reeling from what happen. She kissed Huey Freeman her best friend from across the street and quite honestly, she didn't know how to feel about it.
Maybe it was the fact that she had been yelling for the longest that she and Huey were nothing but friends' best friends at that and here she was proving everybody wrong even Rayonna said herself that they were more than friends.
And even worst she didn't know how to approach Huey about the kiss, she hadn't text him or called him since it happen and he hadn't either which was normal for him the boy barely used his phone.
"Aye, that nigga hatch yet" Riley said, bursting into her room without a care.
"No" Jazmine said not even paying Riley any attention as she still lay on her bed. Still caught up with her thoughts "man that nigga taking forever and shit he might be dead to" Riley said looking at the egg. Jazmine sat up and sighed and walked to him and the egg. "He or she is not dead their just not ready to hatch yet" Jazmine said making sure the lamp was still on the egg providing heat.
"Why you look like you been making life decisions and shit you know that nigga just kissed and shit" Riley said, looking at Jazmine he could tell that she wasn't really interested in the egg on the minute and that her mind was elsewhere.
"I'm not and it was a best friend kiss" Jazmine said, trying to convince herself she was still kind of confused about last night the kiss felt right, but she just didn't know what was going to happen next and that worried her.
Riley just shook his head pitifully at the girl. "Jazzy sit down and let young reezy explain some things to you" the redhead said pushing her into a chair. Jazmine sighed and listened to what the boy had to say she sure it was probably going to be something stupid and ignorant she was sure of it.
"You and Huey like each other damn that why the hell y'all kissed you can keep yelling that damn best friend shit all you want but it's been obvious to a lot of people and including me, myself and normally I wouldn't care cause that some gay shit to think about but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to tell that you and Huey got something more going on. Riley said. Seriously.
" Riley don't be ridiculous what happen was I was standing under a tree that happen to be holding mistletoe and everyone knows that if you're standing under the mistletoe you have kissed" Jazmine said defensively.
"So if I see Hiro ass standing under a tree imma just kiss ass" Riley said raising his eyebrows. Jazmine rolled her eyes. "That's different really, it's not the same" Jazmine pointed out. "Yeah, but that nigga my best friend though and we all know I ain't going to kiss his cause that's gay no matter what a plant with a string of berries say" Riley said.
'Jazzy just admit you like that nigga already" Cindy said coming up behind them. With her notebook. "forreal cause you know Huey ain't going to admit to that shit" Riley said sitting on Jazmine's bed.
"I don't even know if I like Huey" Jazmine said, but unsure about it.
Both Riley and Cindy looked at each other and snorted. "You like that nigga" they both said at the same time.
"That's easy for the both of you to say, but me and Huey have been friends since we were 10 how could even approach him and just say, oh hey Huey, after years of friendship i decided i like you more than just a friend" Jazmine said throwing her hands up.
"Jazzy quit being scared and go tell that nigga cause that kiss is just the beginning" Cindy said, pulling her new pastel blue tinted hair into a messy bun. She was still going to salon Jazmine went to and now vowed to get a new color every two weeks.
"Wait, how did you know that Huey kissed me, I hadn't told you yet" Jazmine said looking confused.
Cindy smirked and pulled out her cell phone and showed Jazmine a nice clear picture of her and Huey kissing Jazmine blushed "where the hell did you get that" Jazmine said snatching the phone out the girl hands.
"Riley sent it to me" Cindy said, laughing as she and the boy shared a look and burst out laughing. Jazmine narrowed her eyes at the two was she missing something here. "When did you two become so damn Buddy, buddy" Jazmine said suspiciously. She had always joked that Riley and Cindy liked each other, but it was different seeing it in front of her the two were sitting next to each other like a couple
Cindy had her arm draped casually on Riley's lap while Riley rested his hand on her thigh. "Let's just say, unlike you and my gay ass brother, we have no problem admitting to each other that we feeling each other and shit" Riley said smirking while Cindy blushed and smiled.
"So you and Riley are you dating and you didn't tell me" Jazmine said, feeling a little left out looking at Cindy.
" i was planning on telling you when i got over here we just started dating like last night after Riley sent me the picture he texted me aye you wanna be my girl and it went from there" Cindy said apologetically.
"Oh well, congratulations I'm happy for you" Jazmine said smiling gently at them. "Thanks jazzy" Cindy said, smiling back.
"Now how about you take your ass over there and tell Huey how you feel and then you can be coupled up like us and shit you might be Huey's only chance left before he'll have to end up dating a man" Riley said.
Jazmine rolled her eyes and giggled she was going to do it, she was going to tell her best friend that she like him and that she wanted to be friends and it was crazy she thought. As she ignored Cindy and Riley's snickers at her as she check her hair and grabbed a jacket.
"I'll be back stay here" Jazmine said, walking downstairs, but just as she was making it to the front door. Her father stopped her "Jazmine honey could you come to the living room for a minute please" he said
Jazmine shrugged "ok" she replied, hoping he would make this quick. And followed him to the living room.
"There she is " Jazmine mother said, standing up once Jazmine and her father entered the living room, sitting on the couch was a nice looking couple between them was a very pretty girl about Jazmine's age. Jazmine felt she had the girl somewhere, but she couldn't put her finger on it though she seem familiar.
"Jazmine this is Judith my half sister and her husband Tevin and their daughter.. Her mother started.
But the girl jumped up and gave Jazmine a bone crushing hug. "It's so nice to meet you cousin your just as pretty as me, I'm Ashley by the way" the girl said her gray eyes staring at Jazmine kindly.
"Hi, I'm Jazmine" Jazmine said, catching her breath once the girl let her go taking in the girl's appearance well her new cousin that she didn't even know she had giving her parents a look.
Ashley was about her height, but an inch taller she was a nice creamy tan complexion and had dark brown curly hair and her look kind of Jazmine in fact, they could go for sisters if someone asked and that's when a light bulb went off in Jazmine's head. This was Rayonna's ex best friend and Jazmine's cousin.
jazmine thought as her eyes widen and mind said oh shit.
''Wow, this is so unexpected" Jazmine said her mind racing with the impending hell that would be released if rayonna found out her ex-best friend was in town. Jazmine thought nervously.
"We're so sorry to drop in all of you so suddenly you see I just found out about a week ago that Sarah was my sister and I have been trying to find the courage to see her and after this unexpected event that came up I had no choice but to come and see her" Judith said apologetically.
"Unexpected event" Jazmine said with wonder.
"Grandma is very sick and mommy and daddy have to go to London and stay with her and take care of her until she's better" Ashley said cutting in.
"Oh, I'm so sorry" Jazmine said, looking at her mother cause she was pretty sure she was about to hear something she didn't want to especially since Ashley parents said they were going to London and didn't seem to add Ashley into the equation.
"So Jazmine I decided since she's new to the family, we would keep Ashley with us until her grandmother got better" Jazmine mother said smiling.
"For how long" Jazmine mind screamed. "She would only be here until the summer Sarah I think you so much we already have her enrolled in the Woodcrest high school. "Wait, she's going to my school too" Jazmine mind thought alarmed.
'Isn't it great Jazmine you don't know how long I wanted to have a cousin or even a sister, I'm an only child so when i heard i had a cousin i was ecstatic" Ashley said excitedly jumping up and down.
"Um yeah it's great" Jazmine said unsure on what to say too much was just happening at once
"Um, mom I have to run to the freeman's for a minute I'll be back" Jazmine said turning around to leave. "Ok honey, why don't you take Ashley with you and introduce her, she going to be here for a while, might as well get it out the way" her mom said but with a firm tone in her voice.
"Right um Ashley just followed me" Jazmine said "ok" Ashley said, smiling as they both left out the house and walked to the freeman residence. "Jazmine knocked on the door.
"Well hello little baby and who this cutie pie" Mr. Freeman said answering the door. Ashley giggled. "Hello Mr. Freeman this is easily my… Cousin she's going to be staying with us for a while.. And since I came to see Huey I figure I'll introduce her" Jazmine said.
"Well, nice to meet you cutie pie" Mr. Freeman said shaking Ashley hand. "Nice to meet you too" Ashley said, smiling as the man moved back to let them in.
"Huey's upstairs little baby" Mr. Freeman said making his way back to his chair. "Thanks Mr. Freeman" Jazmine said "come on Ashley" she said leading the girl upstairs to Huey's room.
"First thing you should know if Huey acts like he could care less that you're here don't take it personally, he acts like that with everybody he just met" Jazmine said she figure better warned the girl. Ashley nodded.
"Huey" Jazmine said, opening the boy door. Not caring to know they had just kissed so figure she kind of had right she thought amused.
But she was struck speechless by what she saw Huey was leaning against his wall and rayonna was facing him attempting to kiss him, however Huey was scowling and didn't know whether to run or push the girl off him.
"Huey" Jazmine said coldly narrowing her eyes at them both. "Jazmine" he said, looking away from rayonna he looked slightly relieved, but surprise to see her.
"Dubois what are you doing here" rayonna said, smirking turning around, but her expression change quickly when she saw who was standing next to Jazmine.
"Ashley" she said with surprise. "Hey rayonna" Ashley said, amused and folding her arms. "What's that bitch doing here" rayonna said angrily, her eyes had sparks of fire in them.
"My cousin is here to stay with me for the summer" Jazmine said calmly. "Cousin.." rayonna said coldly, "is this some joke to get back at me Dubois" rayonna said hotly you could feel the waves of heat of anger coming off the girl.
"Rayonna please I have better things to do than to get back at you, but since you were up here trying to kiss up on my man I'm very happy for that your taking my cousin's presence very well" jazmine shot back.
"Omg do you go to school with her too, ugh she's just the same as we were back home" Ashley said very amused.
Rayonna's face turned bright red "forget this I need to leave before I bash both your faces in" the girl said grabbing her coat and pushing past both girls roughly. Ashley just laughed and Jazmine shook her head. Rayonna had some serious issues she knew seeing her ex-best friend was a big blow, but Jazmine was not at fault for her being here she was just getting used to the fact the girl was her freaking cousin but she would concern herself with that later.
There were other matters at hand. "What the hell was going on here freeman" Jazmine said closing his door. Ashley went and took a seat on Huey's bed and watched the scene amused.
"When did I become your man" Huey said, amused ignoring her question. "Freeman" Jazmine said, getting angry she had completely missed that she said Huey was her man.
Huey sighed. "Rayonna called saying she had an idea for a great march on Martin Luther King Day after the holidays and asked if she could come over. Next thing I know we're coming up with some great political strategies and then she trying to kiss saying that she liked me and since you kept yelling were best friends she didn't see a reason why me and her could be together" Huey said.
"You have feelings for me" Jazmine said softly. "Obviously Jazmine didn't you feel anything from that kiss" Huey said still scowling and blushing admitting his feelings was a tough moment for him right now.
"I think I'm going to go back over to the house now and give you two a moment nice meeting you Huey" Ashley said, smiling and leaving the room and closing the door behind him.
Huey nodded. "Cousin right, " he said once she was gone. "Yeah, and Rayonna's worst enemy" Jazmine said amused.
"I could tell she seemed thrilled to see Ashley" Huey said noting rayonna's behavior. Jazmine giggled. "You didn't just go and dig her up though" Huey said, looking at Jazmine questionably raising his eyebrows at her.
Jazmine snorted "of course not, I didn't even know Ashley was my cousin until a couple of minutes ago and Ashley showed up here" Jazmine said.
"Well, if rayonna didn't like you much before she's really going to hate you now" Huey said sitting down,
Jazmine shrugged. And set next to him "I'm modeling for her sister's store and she's getting married to Timmy's brother" Jazmine said smirking. Huey scowled, but didn't say anything.
They sat silently together for a few minutes. "So how long have you had feelings for me" Jazmine said gently breaking it.
"Awhile now but it's kind of hard to say anything or suggest since we're supposed to be best friends" Huey said plainly.
"Yeah, I has been yelling that a lot" Jazmine said. Huey shrugged. "So how do you feel about me" Huey asked, standing rubbing his hands on his pants he looked a little nervous asking that question.
"I like you a lot I want to be more than friends that kiss has kind of open my eyes right now" Jazmine said Huey nodded. "Me too" Huey said "you know I thought you would never feel the same" Huey said honestly.
"Why?" Jazmine said, raising her eyebrows. "Because we're best friend I figure once you lump us into that category that's all we be but I rather have that because I wanted to be close to you" Huey said. Rubbing his hair.
"Wow, all this time you liked me and you never said anything" Jazmine said surprise at Huey's openness. "I always wanted to say something, but I didn't know how to say it or go about it cause I didn't know if it would affect our friendship" Huey replied Jazmine could tell that admitting his feelings was something he wasn't used to.
"Well, we admitted it and do you think it will affect our friendship" Jazmine said softly. Huey shook his head "I don't know, but I don't think so" Huey said looking at her. "God, his eyes are so pretty" Jazmine thought.
Looking back at him. "So what's next" Jazmine asked. That was a good question what was next. She thought. "I don't know what do you want" Huey said honestly. "i don't' know" Jazmine said everything felt so weird and sudden right now.
"But I do know that I want to kiss you" Huey said suddenly. Blushing making Jazmine blushed as well. "Me too" Jazmine said softly.
As they both pressed their lips against each other. Maybe it was the fact that they were kissing and their arms were wrapped around each other and his hand was in her hair. As they both kissed hungrily she knew what she wanted right then and right in this moment.
"Huey, I want this" Jazmine whispered into his lips. "Me too, " he answered back.
