"So I can't have a kiss?" Alois quirked his defined blonde brow and pouted.
Hannah glanced up from her acrylic nails. She was painting them matte burgundy.
"You'll have to take it." She giggled and looked back down at her nails. She dipped the heart shaped brush back into the skull shaped glass bottle and applied a second layer of burgundy on her middle finger.
Alois watched her as she painted her middle finger. As soon as she was done he reached over and gently urged her to look at him by taking her chin.
Then he leaned forward and pressed his lips to her dark lips.
Hannah smiled into the kiss and returned the romantic gesture. Alois pulled away to look at her beautiful face before kissing her again.
Royalty by Conor Maynard gently played in the background.
"God, your lips are so attractive." Alois sighed as he layed his head on the bed next to her.
Hannah let air out of her nose, chortling.
"There's nothing really special about them. I put on some cocoa butter lip balm this morning." She shrugged and began to blow on her nails.
Hannah's lips were darker than her actual skin tone; they were cocoa and always looked as if they had some type of gloss.
"Shit, I won't even discuss it with you 'cause you'll just say they aren't when they are." Alois said.
Hannah glanced at her cousin, quirking her defined lavender brow. "Oh so it's like that?" She said in a sassy tone.
"Yup." Alois popped the 'P'.
"So it's like if I say your eyes are beautiful and you don't believe me and you call my lips attractive and I don't belive you." Hannah shrugged. "Different views I guess."
Alois stared at Hannah for a second before saying: "Tell me a secret."
Hannah paused. "I'm sorry?"
Alois sat up, propping himself up on his arm. "Tell me a secret. I'll tell you one in turn."
Hannah gently ran her finger over her middle finger. It was dry.
"I like it when you get angry." She glanced at him. "I liked it when you got angry."
Alois pressed his lips together. "Okay." He said. "I wanted to be a girl once, before I met you- well got to know you."
Hannah paused and looked at her cousin. "Wear makeup and wigs? Or get the anatomy swap?" She questioned.
"Jesus no- I love my cock." Alois let out a sigh. "I just found those things interesting and the fact that I couldn't wear any of it made me want it more."
Hannah didn't know why, but she couldn't help but smile. "Aww my little Alois was going through puberty!" She cooed.
Alois rolled his eyes. "Yeah, yeah whatever."
Hannah reached out and pinched his cheek. "You are just too cute. I wouldn't have minded if you were a girl or boy either way. You're such a sweetheart."
Alois rolled his eyes and looked away. "Christ, you're annoying." He pressed his lips together to keep his smile at bay.
...
Show Off By Destra played loudly. Alois held his phone as if he was taking a selfie, sitting in his computer chair.
Hannah was in the background, acting out the lyrics.
She whipped her hair and shook her body in a gyrating manner. She rolled her hips and kicked her legs into the air, fell to the floor before getting back up and starting again.
Alois covered his mouth, letting out a chuckle.
'And look they're coming, And look they're coming, 2,4,6,8,10 man coming'
Hannah threw her hands in the air, counting on her fingers before flipping her hair and falling.
'I said they're coming, coming for the working, kill them with the work, kill them with the work'
Hannah got up and crawled onto his bed. She grabbed a pillow and began to dagger with the pillow, one hand on her back and the other on the pillow as she humped the pillow.
'SHOW OFF!'
"Show off!" Hannah cried as she threw herself backwards. There was a loud bang as she hit her hear on the bed post. Alois let out a loud cackle, falling forward.
...
"Onggh!" Hannah whined as she held a ice pack to her head.
"What were you doing?" Mina sighed as she mixed a concoction.
Salt and sugar water, it helped to ease the pain and disperse pressure.
Alois, who observed from the doorway of the kitchen, let out another dry cackle and covered his mouth.
Hannah pouted and glared at her cousin.
"I wasn't looking where I was going." Hannah sniffed.
"I told you, you need to cut your hair. It's blinding you." Mina sighed.
"Never. It took me years to grow it." Hannah announced. "I'm not bald headed like half of these girls out here."
Mina shook her head. She gave Hannah the cup of salt and sugar water.
Hannah thickly swallowed as she took the cup.
"I..I can't take advil?" Hannah asked softly\
"Hannah just drink it." Mina placed her hands on her hips and gave Hannah a stern look.
"Yeah, like you drank that thing this morning." Alois snickered.
Hannah glared at him, gritting her teeth. "I didn't know what it was!"
Alois gasped for air. "But you didn't swallow- you have to swallow this time!" He gasped and covered his face, doubling over.
"What is he talking about?" Mina questioned.
Hannah looked back at her mother. "Mouth wash." She answered quickly.
Alois had his nose buried in Hannah's book. He turned pages every 3 or so minutes. He let out a grunt of amusement every so often. Alois couldn't understand half of the words Alex Haley used, since half of them were not English. But Alois did learn something new- The Mandinka's called a penis a 'Foto.'
He was only on page 87 when Hannah came into his room. She looked good in her little booty shorts and one of his t-shirts. Hannah made a habit of taking his t-shirts for herself lately.
Hannah quirked her eyebrow and sat on the bed. "I didn't know you read at all." She said with a smirk on her face.
Alois glanced up at her. "Me either, but of course I just saw your book and had to read a few pages." Alois flicked the book's girth. "And now I find myself on page 87."
Hannah chortled and crawled to sit beside him. "Oh? Is my history so interesting?" She teased.
Alois shrugged. "Minus the part where I feel guilty about my history." He closed the book and handed it to her. "But it's very interesting- I think I have a new name for my cock."
Hannah took it, letting out a short laugh. "And what's that?"
Alois chuckled and shook his head. "A 'Foto'." He did air quotes on the last word. Hannah playfully shoved him. "Oh come on, that's all you learned?"
"I learned why Aunty Mina beats your ass when you fuck up." He snickered.
Hannah rolled her eyes and put the book on his night stand. She turned back to him. "So, you don't have any friends? How come I didn't meet any yet?" Hannah asked.
Alois glanced at his cousin. "Because you never asked, until now." Alois managed a soft smile.
Hannah looked at her blush pink acrylics. They were starting to chip. "So, can I meet your friends?"
"You're going to have to be more specific." Alois chuckled.
Hannah rolled her eyes and sighed. "I wanna meet your bro's."
"My bro's or bro's?" Alois asked.
Hannah groaned and covered her face. "I wanna meet your crew, your bro's."
"Just to be clear," Alois held up his finger and rose his eyebrows. "You said you wanted to meet them, I never forced you to."
"To be honest," Alois took eased himself onto the counter. "Fuck you." He said flatly once he was situated. Hannah looked up from the frying pan full of drumsticks. "Oh when?" She asked. She rolled her eyes when he didn't reply and grabbed her phone and then leaned on the counter, leaning on her elbows as she replied to a text from Mina.
'This is just depressing, I ain't got no body to text other than my mother.' Hannah didn't have anyone she called a 'friend' because she wasn't into that clique bullshit. Sure, she was pretty and she turned heads in the hallways as she walked to class, but those girls at her school liked drama and that 'he said, she said' crap. So Hannah kept to herself at school.
Hannah got the smart idea of texting her cousin instead of talking to him. So, she sent a quick 'Daddy?' with a crying face emoji. Hannah glanced at Alois, a small smile on her face. His phone went 'Ding!' and he quickly tapped the top of his screen with his thumb.
Alois let out a soft laugh and looked at Hannah. "Really?" He asked. Hannah giggled and covered her mouth with her rose gold Iphone. "Answer!" She urged. Alois chortled and rapidly replied, his thumbs dancing across his keyboard.
'What's the matter baby girl?' Along with a worried emoji.
Hannah giggled and bit her bottom lip, replying with a; 'Just feeling lonely…' with an upside-down face emoji.
'Ding!
'Or are you just being petty?'
'Ding!'
'I am though Daddyyyy Uwu'
'Ding!'
'Lml, you're wow petty baby girl I don't know why I put up with you.'
'Ding!'
"Cause you lovvveee me~ So what do you wanna do after this daddy?'
'Ding!'
"I'm down for whatever baby girl.'
'Ding!'
'So you're gonna eat my ass?'
"Can you please let that go?" Alois gently laughed as he ran a hand through his hair. Hannah smiled and said; "Nah, I'm holding you to that. You turned me out so this is what you get."
"If you say you didn't swing that way before I ate your ass, you'se a lie." Alois tucked his phone in his pocket and hopped off the counter. He walked around her and uncovered the frying pan, peering in.
"Oh my god, I didn't swing that way!" Hannah pouted. "Tis not my fault my ass taste good."
"Listen: I'm trying to eat here." Alois had a piping hot drumstick on a fork, hallway to his mouth. "And I never said that." He snorted.
Hannah rolled her eyes. "That's not what your tongue was hinting yesterday." She flipped her hair and smiled. "Throw the confetti, I'm wow petty." Hannah sang, being dramatic with the pitch and flow.
Alois rolled his eyes and bit into the drumstick. He didn't mind that it was hot, it tasted amazing. Hannah knew how to season chicken, whereas he just jumped it into the pan with oil and popped a lid on it.
"I wanna taste." Hannah said. Alois turned away, showing her his back. He clearly did not want to share.
"Sharing is caring." Hannah whined.
"Well I don't care." Alois said flatly.
"Please?" Hannah whined louder. Alois didn't answer. Hannah kept whining incoherent words behind him. She paused. Then whined louder, tossing her head back. Alois rolled his eyes and turned around, holding out the half-eaten drumstick on a fork to his cousin. "Since you wanna be a baby." He grunted.
Hannah smiled and took the fork from him. "See? I knew you cared!"
