"I'm sorry, y'all what?" Cindy stopped what she was doing to look Jazmine straight in her face. "Y'all WHAT?"
Jazmine was regretting bringing up the kiss between her and Huey now. She had been sitting on what was supposed to be good news for days but Cindy just looked… disappointed. Out of all things. That was confusing. "We kissed?"
"And when did this happen?" Cindy put her phone down on the bed and folded her hands together.
"Pretty sure it was on Monday," Jazmine nodded.
"So you and Huey kissed and you're just telling me this now? What else!" Cindy rolled her eyes. "Are you crazy? He's my friend and all but you don't need him!"
"Just three weeks ago you wanted us to be together!" Jazmine shouted.
"Yeah, till I realized that boy is a clown. He thought he got a girl pregnant! Are you crazy!?" Cindy shook her head and pinched the bridge of her nose. It felt like if they didn't hang out for a while, Jazmine always went and did something stupid. Sure, she was all for Juey a while back but she wasn't going to steer her best friend the wrong way if she could help it. Huey was not the one for her! "What about Caesar? Y'all were vibing! And he don't play games either."
"Vibing? What? What are you talking about?" Jazmine scoffed. Where would Cindy even get that idea! Michael was her friend.
"Ohhhh my God. The day after my party. He took you out to eat. Are you dumb?" Cindy sucked her teeth and picked her phone back up. Jazmine didn't have no type of common sense.
"Are you dumb?! Bitch." Jazmine snapped.
"Don't bitch me, bitch!" Cindy snapped back.
"I think Huey likes me, that's all. You're making this more than it has to be!" Jazmine laid back on Cindy's bed. Thinking back to just a few days ago when they shared their first kiss. She had caught herself reminiscing on it randomly throughout the week. Just thinking about it gave her butterflies. They hadn't really had any time the past week, only seeing each other at lunch and that really wasn't the time to talk about it. She couldn't bring herself to text him about it, either. So she acted like it never happened.
"Nothing good is going to come out of this Jazmine. You think Huey, of all people, is going to what? Magically start dating? And it's summertime? Do you know of all the shit that him and the boys have been talking about doing over the summer?" Cindy sighed and took a deep breath. She loved Jazmine. It took some time but she finally pulled her head out of her ass to see that Huey was not the one for Jazmine. But, if Jazmine really was thinking about the possibility of them ending up together over a kiss, then she knew she'd just have to go pay the older Freeman brother a friendly visit.
That was the reason that Cindy found herself knocking on the Freeman's door a few hours later. She had left Jazmine's house and decided to do it now rather than later. With them living right across the street, who knew how fast things could get going once she left? She heard footsteps approaching the door and she could already tell it was Riley.
"Wassup," Riley opened the door, looking at her.
Cindy looked him dead in his face, trying to ignore the fact that he was standing in front of her shirtless. "Is Huey here?"
"What do you need to talk to him for?" Riley asked, leaning against the door frame.
"Last time I checked, you weren't Huey?" Cindy stepped closer, ready to push past him. "Well? Is he home?"
"You was probably chilling with Jaz, now you're gonna go talk to Huey. Just forgot about me, huh?" Riley shook his head, pretending to be extremely hurt. Cindy tried to keep the smile off her face but couldn't help herself. Riley was so annoying but he was cute as all hell.
"You play too much! It's important." Cindy smacked his arm. "We can chill tomorrow!"
"I'm not no last minute nigga. Tell me what it's about!"
Cindy rolled her eyes and lowered her voice, "Jazmine. They kissed! I just need to have a little conversation."
"Ohhhhhhh, you're gonna do that threatening shit that girls do. Why didn't you say that? He's upstairs in his room" Riley moved, letting Cindy walk past him. "That shit don't work by the way. It's funny as hell. 'Don't you hurt her' blah, blah, blah."
Cindy managed to slap him dead in the center of his back before bolting up the steps. She laughed when she heard Riley cursing. She walked to Huey's room and knocked on the wall before peeking her head in. He was at his desk on his laptop. "Hey Huey."
Huey turned to look at Cindy. She had heard him but he wasn't really sure why she was coming upstairs to greet him. Usually they didn't talk much unless someone else was there too, like a middle person. "What's up?"
Cindy walked in all the way and walked over to where Huey was sitting at his desk, leaning against it slightly. "Not much… I heard about you and Jazmine's little kiss."
"Oh?" Huey turned his attention back to the laptop. He had a feeling where this was going.
"Yeah, oh. I know that you think that you're hot shit, pulling chicks left and right. But Jazmine is not one of those dumb thots that you seem to like fucking with so much. I don't know what you got going on in your head or what you have planned but don't play Jazmine. She's really fucking feeling you and I don't want you using her just to pass the time till the next girl. Just cause we're friends don't mean I won't slap the got damn shit out of you for Jazmine." Cindy ranted, trying to get her point clearly across.
"Alright," Huey felt like shrugging but he knew that Cindy would slap him. "Thanks for letting me know?"
Cindy scoffed, an incredulous look on her face. "That's all you have to say?"
"It's not your business." Huey sighed, looking at her. He shook his head, stopping her before she could go off on him, "I don't want Jazmine to get her hopes up but I want to try things out with her."
"Try things out? Try things out?" Cindy snorted, more annoyed than she thought she would be. "You don't understand how much that girl feels for you. Either appreciate her all the way or not at all. Don't do none of this dumb 'try things out' bullshit."
"If you say so," Huey just nodded.
Cindy's face was turning red. Oh, she wanted so bad to smack the shit out of Huey's face. He had such a way of looking like her didn't care about anything, his face a blank slate. "You don't even remotely deserve Jazmine. On me. Bye."
"Bye," Huey waved half heartedly before ignoring Cindy and turning all his focus back onto his laptop. It wasn't any of her business and he didn't have to explain anything to her. He wasn't an idiot. She walked away in a huff, obviously angry. Whatever. Riley would be the one to deal with that, not him. Once he knew Cindy was gone, he texted Jazmine, asking if she could come over today.
He wasn't new to the whole best friend threatening him ordeal, it happened a lot. He didn't know why he thought Jazmine wouldn't tell Cindy in the first place, but it was still kind of annoying that she did. He wasn't too sure what was to come after that. Kissing her felt good, felt different. But he wasn't too sure what was going to happen. He knew that if he got with Jazmine he wouldn't want to hurt her, they'd have to be exclusive. She deserved that much, at the least. The question was if he really wanted that. What if she decided she didn't want to be with him after he dropped everybody and then he was alone with nobody?
What then?
He hadn't even been in a relationship for such a long time and he knew it would be different than it was in middle school. He didn't even know how to be in a relationship. Huey shook his head and laughed at himself. It was kinda sad, when he really thought about it. What would she expect from him?
Jazmine texted him back, saying she'd walk over in a few minutes.
Huey checked himself over. He sniffed under his arms, making sure he smelled okay. He had showered last night so it wasn't like he was expecting he would stink but… just in case. After kissing Jazmine earlier that week, he was so unexpectedly sweaty. He grabbed his deodorant and put some more on. He got up and straightened out his already made bed.
"It's just Jazmine, Huey. Relax," he scolded himself. Making himself sit back down at his desk. He couldn't really focus on the article that he was supposed to be reading but he tried. The doorbell rang and he started bouncing his foot, waiting for her to pop up in his doorway. It was just Jazmine. Why was he nervous in the first place? There was no reason to be nervous.
He heard her footsteps in the hallway, "Hey, is everything okay?" She walked in, sitting on the edge of the bed closest to him. She was dressed down but still looked so good. It made him want to bite his lip.
"Yeah. You told Cindy?" Huey asked, making a conscious effort not to bounce his leg.
"Yeah, today. Guess it wasn't really a good idea. I'm sorry if she said said anything bad to you." Jazmine made a face. She couldn't have expected that Cindy would react so badly. "But, since we're talking about that kiss…"
She felt so childish asking the "what are we" question after a kiss. It made her feel like she was in middle school all over again. But there was more to that kiss than just kissing. She knew that and she hoped that Huey did, too. She could tell by the way he looked at her that day that there was more to it.
Huey sighed. Articulating his feelings wasn't his thing, "I-I know that you want something more. I don't know if I can give that to you right now. I know that kissing you felt right. But I also know that I don't know what I can do for you as your boyfriend? We've been friends for so long, my best friend. I can't lose something that could be lifelong for something that will end eventually."
That was his best way of saying that he didn't know what he was doing and that he didn't want to lose her.
Jazmine nodded her head slowly, the curls on top of her head swaying in tune. "She had heard enough to understand what he was trying to say: He was scared. She was an empath and she could tell that he was confused and unsure.
"I don't need or want you to do anything for me. I just want to spend the time with you. If you feel like it's not something you want to do then we can just drop it. Regardless of what happens you'll always have a friend in me. I just think that if we're both feeling something then why not see where it could go?" Jazmine spoke slowly, trying to choose her words carefully. Who knew that Huey was so seemingly sensitive? She hadn't ever taken a minute to consider the fact that he was even thinking about all of what he just said.
"I don't think that I'm good for you," Huey mumbled. He couldn't understand why Jazmine would want him, of all people. She was a great person all around, she could have her pick of plenty of guys. Yet she wanted him? Just a few days ago he thought he was going to be a baby daddy to some girl he barely knew. He didn't even have enough sense to get tested, ever.
"I think you're overthinking everything?" Jazmine sighed and situated herself so she was sitting cross-legged on the bed. "Can you come here? It feels like you're trying to not be close to me."
"You're the one that sat on the bed," Huey muttered. He got up to move and sat down right next to Jazmine.
"Can we just try? I know that it's a little scary…" Jazmine started, only to get interrupted.
"Who said I was scared?" Huey gave her a "the fuck" look.
She felt like rolling her eyes at him. He was definitely scared. His false bravado couldn't fool her. "Okay, not scared. Nervous? Worried? It doesn't matter."
"Okay, so was does that mean? What's is this?" Huey asked, his dark brown eyes staring at Jazmine intently.
She shrugged, "We don't have to put a name to anything if you don't want to. But I don't want to do any of this if you can't stop talking to other girls."
He nodded slowly. No talking to other girls. He could do that for Jazmine. "Okay."
()()()()()()
"Okay." Jazmine repeated, smiling to herself. It was surprisingly easy? It felt too easy, if she was being honest. She wasn't going to give up anything to early, if it got that far, but she was going to have plenty of fun with Huey. "Is your granddad here?"
"Huh? No, why?" Huey asked, pulling out his phone and scrolling through Instagram.
"Just Riley?" Jazmine asked, standing up and walking over to the door to close it and lock it.
"What are you doing?" Huey felt the nervousness creeping back. He definitely knew the gist of what she was doing. Not to say that his mind hadn't wandered a few times, but it was weird to see Jazmine in such a blatant, sexual way.
"I've been thinking about us kissing all week. And how we got interrupted by my dad. You owe me, for that by the way. He ranted for almost two hours!" Jazmine laughed and wrapped her arms around Huey's shoulders as she stood in front of him.
Huey looked straight ahead at her boobs, which were right in his face, then up at her. He slowly wrapped his arms around her waist, the nervousness slowly fading away. It may have been Jazmine but he knew what he was doing. "How can I make it up to you?"
"We can get back to where we left off," Jazmine shrugged, pulling her leg up on the bed and then the other so she could straddle Huey's lap. She started kissing him, not forcefully, but enough to be the one taking control. Huey was surprised that she was the one who was leading but it didn't bother him one bit. He let her push him back on the bed, let her trail kisses up and down his neck and all over his throat.
Jazmine was so overwhelmed with feelings that she wasn't even sure what she wanted to do. It was almost as if years of pent up feelings for someone made people act crazy once they finally got the chance to let it out. The way that Huey was roaming his hands all over her body didn't help much either. Before she knew it, she was grinding up against Huey. His soft groans that coincided with a hard squeeze wherever his hands were only encouraged her even more. She knew that she wasn't going to have sex with him but the idea of it was more than appealing.
The fact that she could feel how hard he was underneath his basketball shorts didn't help. Only a few layers of clothes were between them, the only thing stopping them.
"Fuck. Jazmine," Huey groaned louder than he had wanted to. That only seemed to encourage her more. He swore he could hear how wet she was with every rock of her hips. Then he remembered that he was part of the reason why she was so wet. "You're so wet."
He felt like slapping himself for stating the obvious.
Jazmine stopped kissing his neck and climbed off of him so abruptly that he thought he had said something wrong. Then he realized she was laying on her back, shrugging off her shorts. He caught a glimpse of the wet spot on her underwear. She was looking at him so expectantly that it made his heart speed up even more. He adjusted himself before situation himself next to her. She grabbed his hand and led their hands down her underwear together.
"Tell me how you like it," Huey mumbled in her ear before he started kissing her neck. He listened to her intently as she told him exactly what to do. How many fingers, how fast, how slow. Whatever she wanted. It wasn't long before she was breathing heavy and whimpering out in pleasure.
Once she started repeating that she was close, Huey started kissing her to keep her from yelling out too loud and kept the same pace that he was going at. He had a feeling that she was extremely loud when she finished. He could feel her insides flexing around his two fingers quickly and he kept fingering her and rubbing his clit with his thumb until she was pushing his hand away.
He kissed her again before giving her some space. "Can I eat you out?"
"Are you crazy?" Jazmine scoffed. She situated herself and grabbed her pants to put them back on. "I'll be right back I'm going to the bathroom."
Huey waited until she got back, before asking her the same question.
"Don't you want to finish?" Jazmine asked, realizing that he was still obviously hard. "I mean we can't… I can give you a handjob?"
"Huh? Oh the tests. I got an email, I'm good. You wanna see it?" Huey asked, reaching over to the nightstand to grab his phone. Jazmine nodded her head, waiting for him to show her the email. Not that she thought he would lie to her, but it'd be nice to see with her own two eyes. He was clean.
"Can we take a break? Watch some tv?" She sighed. She wasn't one for back to back anything, especially sex.
"Yeah, whatever you want." Huey grabbed the remote control and climbed back to the top of the bed next to Jazmine. They watched tv for hours that night.
But Huey did get to eat her out before she went back home.
