Hey hey hey! What's happenin'?
Yeah, I'm corny. But hello again lovely people!
Trust and believe I have a good reason as to why it took me so long to update, but first,
SHOUTOUTS!
To Miss Ace Thank You (lol, girl, the food was gone the day it was made. sorry), MissG2020, jayjai107, Youngkong313 (Lmao!), Bloody Kirai (Idk why your name didn't show up the last time, :/), & Shellie B! (hey, well the computer wasn't being very nice lol)
The comments had me rollin' lol. Ya'll are truly the best. No BS.
Now, my dad's in school, and since he's about to get his Master's degree and he's in the Honors program, he has a crapload of work to do! So all this long time I've been trying to continue with my story, he always had to get on the computer and by the time he was done, I WAS SLEEP! Ugh! Could they just give him a break? He's about to graduate for goodness sake!
Anyways, that's my excuse. :/ So I'm terribly sorry for keeping you guys waiting. But here it is!
Oh and this chapter is long as hell, so be prepared to do some readin'! :D
DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN THE BOONDOCKS FOR CRYIN' OUT LOUD! I'M NO THIEF!
Oh yeah, I almost forgot...
NOSAMA NOSAMA NOSAMA!
I mean, I'm not one to get excited over someone's death, but I really could care less. He was responsible for killing all those people, you think I care if he's dead? Psshh! Shoot, I even knew people whose families died in that plane crash. So as far as we know, justice is served.
Watch out for his niggas though. :/
Anywho, the story!
CHAPTER 14: CROSSING THE LINE
"Great party!" "Yo, this shit was live as hell mane!" "Man, when ya'll throwin' another one? I'm down!" "See ya'll at school!" "Ya'll are the best!"
People shouted compliments left and right about the party as they were heading out the door. According to them, this party was the most live party of the year. And the thing was, it was at the Freeman's house. Hmm, who knew?
Mingled in with the crowd was that oh so familiar petite Asian psycho, trying to make her way out before any one of the crew spotted her. Luckily for her, she was able to escape with no problem at all.
As soon as the crazy teen stepped out of the house, she ran as fast as she could in her mysterious gear and disappeared into the darkness.
Inside the house were the crew, Hiro, Kayla, Marcus, Lamaar and Camille.
Huey, Riley and Jazmine explained to Lamaar and Marcus about the entire Briana situation approximately two hours ago and after a minor freak out from Marcus, everyone decided to keep their minds off of it for the rest of the night. They barely had a good time and the party was hype as hell, well…Jazmine and Huey barely had fun. So after talking to Hiro, he agreed to stay there a little longer and play a few songs after everyone left. Huey offered to pay him, but Hiro kindly declined the offer. He loved music and helping people out, so this was like a win-win situation for everyone.
Kayla, however, couldn't hang. By the look of her droopy eyes it was evident that she needed to catch up on some sleep, pronto.
Groggily, she walked over to Cindy, who sat on the living room couch nodding her head to All I Want Is You by Miguel. She placed her small hand on her big cousin's lap as her cousin looked down at her.
"Cindy? I'm tired." She half-informed and half-pleaded in a small voice. "Can we go?"
Cindy looked into the little girl's eyes and noticed that she was worn out. Cindy sort of felt bad for not asking her if she wanted to leave earlier. Instead of showing her sympathy for the girl, she smiled sweetly.
"Sure, Kay." She agreed. "But don't you wanna say bye to everyone?" She asked, but regretted asking that as the little girl groaned. Cindy giggled.
"It's okay, you don't got to do th-"
"BYE EVERYONE!" Kayla yelled as everyone stopped what they were doing to look at the sleepy little girl. Before she did that, Riley and Stacia were dancing (no, not grinding or twerking…Kayla was there) while Riley playfully lip synced the song as Stacia laughed. Huey stood against the living room wall nodding his head to the beat, even though he didn't necessarily care for the song. Jazmine and Caesar were having a little dance contest (of course Jazmine was winning…she's on the dance team for cryin' out loud!). Lamaar, Marcus and Camille were the judges.
"Bye Kayla!" They responded before resuming to what they were just doing. Cindy playfully pouted.
"Dang, okay! I guess I gets no love!" She yelled as everyone eyed her, some of them smirked and shook their heads.
"Girl, this whole party was a celebration for you." Stacia responded as she continued to dance with Riley. Cindy smiled and shrugged.
Riley had his eyes transfixed on his girl, so it took him a minute to register that Cindy was going home.
Wait. Cindy's leavin'? He suddenly stopped dancing altogether, and in doing so, Stacia gave him a perplexed look.
"What?" She questioned slowly. He looked at her for a second before leaning into her to whisper in her ear, just in case Kayla, Camille or Hiro heard.
"Baby, don't you think she gon' need someone to walk with her after all of this?" He asked. Backing away, he saw the expression on her face. It looked like…disappointment. But why? "What's wrong?"
"Nothing, it's just…" She started, a blush reaching her cheeks. Very unfamiliar. "…I just want you all to myself right now." She responded sincerely, smiling at her boyfriend, boring into those wine-colored orbs as he did the same to her grey ones. Riley smiled back and kissed her forehead.
"Aw, Stacia I hear you, but Cindy's in danger, along with the rest of us." He explained as he looked at her sympathetically. Stacia sighed in defeat.
"I know, I know." She began to hold her head down, but Riley lifted it up with an index finger.
"But…if it's really that important to you, I'll stay." He genuinely compromised with yet another smile. Stacia beamed and kissed him twice quickly on the lips.
"Y'know," She started. "I hate feeling like I'm so clingy, but I can't help it. I love you too much and sometimes, I get like that." She tried to explain, but Riley shushed her.
"Baby, it's aiight. I don't think you too clingy." He reassured, "And I love you too."
"Ya'll niggas might as well get a room, cause we all know what this gon' lead to." Cindy loudly remarked as she walked over to the couple, Kayla nowhere in sight. Stacia blushed and rolled her eyes as Riley did the same.
"Be quiet." Stacia playfully warned. As she looked past Cindy, she noticed a certain five year old wasn't with Cindy anymore. "So, gangsta princess, where's Kayla?"
Cindy waved a hand in the air uncaringly. "Oh, she went upstairs real quick. She left her hoodie up there." She answered as Stacia responded with an 'Oh.'
As Cindy looked up at Riley, she saw him look at her with all seriousness. "What?" she inquired bewilderedly.
"Cindy, don't get mad," He said as Cindy drew her eyebrows together, anticipating the words that were about to follow. "But I think you gon' need someone to take you home. 'Cause after what happened last time…we, just don't need another one of those moments." Riley honestly informed his best friend as she sighed, a little irritated. "See, I knew you was gon' get mad."
"Naw, I ain't mad." She responded rather quickly and sighed again. "I just…I feel like I'ma have to depend on people from now on. Shit don't sit well with me." She said as Stacia sympathetically nodded. Riley nodded as well, but not in sympathy. He was not about to feel bad for protecting his friend. Hell no.
"Yeah, but as soon as this shit blow over, you won't have to worry 'bout that." He stated as she nodded. "But as of now, you gon' need someone to assist yo' ass." He said, pointing to her.
"True." She replied in a low voice. "Aiight then, c'mon nigga." She was about to walk off, completely forgetting about Kayla for a second.
"Yeeah, about that…" Riley trailed off. Cindy sighed heavily as she turned back around to face him.
"Nigga, what now?"
"…I'm not gon' be the one walkin' you home." He notified her apologetically. Cindy just rolled her eyes.
"Fine." She said, sighing.
Okay, so maybe it was a good thing to not have Riley walk with her. She still couldn't help but feel some type of way about him, and if they walked together, she probably would say, or do, something either embarrassing or regretful. Neither one of those choices sounded too good.
But he did save her life and with that knowledge, her crush for him grew and transitioned into love. Lord, she really needed to get over him. He was not going to love her. He was in love with his girlfriend, and she loved him back. It'd be rather foolish of Cindy to impose on such a rare, yet beautiful relationship.
Turning on her heel, she sighed as that realization hit her. Riley would never be hers, and she'd have to deal with that fact. She had to. What other choice did she have?
Cindy decided to throw those thoughts to the back of her head, trying to ignore her feelings for her best friend, and walked over to Caesar and Jazmine. She did not have time for drama in her life.
"Jazzy, you killin' 'em!" Camille shouted, cheering on her good friend. Jazmine just giggled as she smoothly glided her way around Caesar, playfully taunting him. Caesar put on a false angry expression and threw up some unknown gang sign to indicate his gangsterness.
Yeah right.
"Hey." Cindy blurted out, abruptly causing her friends to stop. "Can someone please walk me home?" As she looked at everyone's amused faces she groaned. "It's Riley's idea! Can someone do it?" She pleaded in annoyance. Camille was confused as to why she couldn't just walk home by herself. She was seventeen for Heaven's sake!
But she didn't know why though. Everyone else, on the other hand, did.
Jazmine looked to Caesar, expecting him to say something as she arched her eyebrow. Caesar got the message and nodded. "I'll go." He gave in and walked over to Cindy. "Where's Kayla?" he inquired as he looked around, spotting teenagers all over.
"She-" Cindy began to say, but a very familiar somebody cut her off.
"Right here!" Kayla piped, despite her desperate need of rest.
Caesar, Cindy, Camille, Jazmine and Lamaar all smiled as Marcus, not paying attention, started to dance to the music.
"Okay, c'mon ya'll." Cindy announced.
"Wait." Caesar said. "Huey, yo can I use your car?" he asked as Huey chocked his eyebrow.
"Uh, no?"
Caesar rolled his eyes. "C'mon man, I ain't gon' mess it up again, I promise." He pleaded, but realized there was no use. Once someone messed up something of Huey's, they'd never use it again.
"I said no." He defiantly argued and left it at that. Stacia rolled her eyes as she noticed Huey being an ass to his friend and handed Caesar her keys.
"Here" She said. "Now don't damage my ride." She seriously warned. Caesar nodded and thanked her before backing away.
As the three headed towards the door, they said their goodbyes to their friends and were gone.
But a second later…
"Jazmine! I'm comin' back!" Caesar playfully warned as he stuck his head in the door. Jazmine rolled her eyes and laughed loudly before shouting back.
"Yeah, okay!"
Then, the door closed.
Since Riley and Stacia was in their own world, smiling at each other as they danced, Camille and the two best friends outside the crew were talking about something Jazmine couldn't hear, and Huey was by himself, Jazmine decided to walk over to him slyly.
He caught her inching closer and closer to him and put on a small smirk. She smirked as well as she stood to the right of him on the wall. Huey's eyes diverted from her to the space in front of him, occupied by Riley and Stacia all of a sudden giggling and laughing.
Jazmine giggled a little as she noticed Huey playfully trying to ignore her, but she did the same as he did, the smile never leaving. Huey looked at her from the corner of his eye and his smirk grew. They were so goofy.
"Nice party, Freeman." Jazmine playfully stated with amusement all in her voice as she tried hard not to laugh, still making no eye contact. Huey shook his head, but played along.
"Thanks, and might I ask who you are?"
"Well, certainly." She continued. "I'm Jazmine Dubois, professional dancer." She stated, turning to her boyfriend before sticking her delicate hand out for him to shake. Huey eventually took it.
"That's nice. I'm Huey Freeman, Revolutionary." He said as Jazmine's cheeks puffed up. She was on the brink of laughter.
"That's cool." She started in a low voice before giggling. Huey snorted and rolled his eyes playfully.
"You, ma'am, are goofy." He declared as he pointed to her. Jazmine grinned.
"Yeah, whatever." She jokingly retorted before kissing his right cheek, his cheeks flaring up. She giggled once again as she took notice. It was amazing to see Huey react to something as small as a kiss on the cheek. Huey just smiled a little and looked ahead of him again.
Just then, Hiro switched the track to something else.
As the beat commenced, Huey's eyes nearly bulged out of his head. He looked up to see Riley looking at him with the same wide eyes and a smirk.
"Damn." He muttered in disbelief. Jazmine eyed him, puzzled completely, all silliness disappearing.
"What?" She asked. Huey looked in her direction and shook his head.
"Nothin', I just haven't heard this song in a long time." He explained.
In other words, that was his song!
Riley's too.
Jazmine knowingly smirked. "What, do you like it or something?" Huey raised his eyebrow as he looked down at her again.
"That's an understatement." He responded, earning a small chuckle from his girlfriend. "Mint Condition? Do you know how hard it is to find their songs?" He added causing her to chuckle again.
Man, Mint Condition. Honestly, they were one of the few musical groups that both Huey and Riley truly admired. They were so versatile and smooth and every song they came out with were, well…amazing! Beautiful, even.
When they were little, they had the Mint Condition CDs on repeat and they'd often sing together, imitating the group. Most of the time Riley would lead, but sometimes Huey had those moments where he wanted to be the one to do so as well.
But who the hell were they to tell anyone about this? Any of this?
The only time they felt comfortable singing was when they were around each other, and for so long, they tried to tell people they weren't talented, but neither of them were really good liars.
And besides, Granddad had a big ass mouth.
But as the years went by, the Mint Condition CDs vanished somehow and neither of them could get into LimeWire because of that damn scanner that always popped up and prevented LimeWire from downloading music. So they hadn't heard from Mint Condition for a long time.
"Wow," Jazmine started off. "Huey Freeman has a soft side for love songs." She playfully taunted Huey as she lightly pushed his shoulder. He rolled his eyes.
"Jazmine, do you know how talented these people are? And how underrated they are?" He began his lecturing, but decided against it since he wanted to hear the song. "Nevermind." He said, averting his gaze up ahead as Jazmine just shrugged and did the same.
I never thought I'd really find
Someone so beautiful and kind
Oh, what you've done to me
With just the little things you do
You've got me crazy over you
And it's getting stronger.
Unknowingly, Huey softly sang along with the song, only Jazmine being able to hear it. She cocked her head to the side, looking up at him and noticed that he didn't even realize what he was doing. She smiled and shook her head.
If Stacia was over here right now…She thought as her boyfriend continued to sing along with the song.
When I'm with you, I fall deeper in love, swingin'
This feeling is the one thing my heart is sure of
So I…
On the other side of the room, Riley couldn't help it. He stopped and pulled away from his girl a little bit and sang rather loudly.
Not in his good singing voice though. Not at all.
I WAIT FOR THE DAAYYY
SO WE CAN GO SWAANNNG
WON'T YOU LOOK RIGHT…MY…WAAYY
"Riley! Don't ruin it!" Huey yelled as he grew a little agitated. Riley just rolled his eyes and continued as his brother did the same.
OH YOU SEND ME SWANGIN'
YOU SEND ME SWAANNGIN'
OH YOU SEND ME SWANGGGIN'
It was right then that Huey realized he'd just stopped singing.
Wait…When the hell did I start singing? He internally asked himself.
Then, he froze.
He turned to his left to see a smirking Jazmine looking back at him.
Amusement present all in her face.
His cheeks collected so much heat, one would've thought he was about to swoon from a heat stroke.
Jazmine grinned sweetly. "Aww! Why'd you stooopp?" she playfully whined. Huey rolled his eyes once again.
"Jazmine," he said, his way of pleading her to stop. Jazmine loved to hear Huey sing. He sounded amazing, and sort of resembled the lead singer in this group. No wonder he liked this song so much.
Jazmine rolled her eyes and his plea and smirked, walking in front of him. Since Huey wasn't about to do it, she was.
Swaying left to right along with the song, she mimicked Stokley's voice, singing along with him.
Just thinkin' 'bout you
And all the things that we could do
Together as one, baby
After successfully doing so, she grabbed Huey's hands, forcing him to sway with her.
Which of course, he didn't, but his hands did.
If only you could see
How sweet your love is to me
So Heavenly
Huey was actually rather surprised that Jazmine knew this song word for word. He was pretty sure she's heard it before, since she had that LimeWire thing going on at home and the song played on the radio once every nine months, but he didn't think she really knew the song. He underestimated her yet again.
Great job, Huey.
Huey smirked as he trained his eyes on Jazmine. The way she moved her hips so casually and bobbed her head left to right was beyond cute.
Holding her hands, he felt the sudden urge to pull her closer and slow dance with her…
But he decided against it. Instead, he continued to sing the song with her, whether it was intentional or unintentional.
Knowing the way to say just how I feel for you
Swingin'
Then, Riley came back in with Stacia: the both of them shouting rather obnoxiously.
SEE EVERY DAY THAT PASSES
MY HEART SWINGS CLOSER TO YOOOOOUUUU HO HAaaAAaaAaaAA!
Jazmine giggled at her friends' singing as her and Huey continued. Huey did the ad libs while Jazmine just sang the chorus.
I wait for the day (sweet gentle swing)
So we can go swing
Won't you swing right...my…way (yeah yeah, yeah yeah)
Oh you send me swingin'
You send me swingin'(you send me)
Oh you send me swingin'
As Hiro continued to DJ, he noticed everyone moving or singing along with the song (especially Riley and Stacia). He couldn't really hear Huey or Jazmine, but he thought it was cute to see them smiling at each other while they mouthed the words to the song. He looked to the middle of the floor where Lamaar, Marcus and Camille were. Lamaar and Camille were clapping and rooting for Marcus as he danced his ass off.
He pleasantly sighed. Another successful party indeed. Another pleased crowd. It was beautiful.
Still shouting the lyrics to the song, Stacia finally took her eyes off of Riley and looked to her left, spotting Jazmine and Huey singing and swaying…well, Jazmine swayed. She grinned broadly and stopped singing.
"Baby, you see what I see?" She told Riley in a hushed tone. Riley looked at her and made a face. He didn't like people interrupting one of his favorite songs. Even if it was Stacia.
"What?" he asked, irritably. Stacia jerked her neck back and sucked her teeth.
"Nigga, don't get smart." She scolded. She then pointed to the couple. "Look. Jazmine and Huey are singin' together. Huey, your brother, is actually singing!" she silently exclaimed as Riley smirked and rolled his eyes.
"You don't know that. He probably just lip syncin'." Riley said waving his hand in the air, but shoot, he wasn't stupid. He knew his brother was sang along with this song. It was impossible not to.
Stacia just snorted.
"So what? I've never seen him do that before. He's always so damn grave, I didn't even expect him to do anything , let alone sing." She told her boyfriend as he, in turn, snorted as well.
"Baby, you doin' too much." He half-joked as she rolled her eyes.
"Whatever." She began. "I think it's cute." She added. Riley rolled his eyes in disinterest. "Don't do that!" Stacia scolded once again, causing Riley to snicker.
"Calm down, baby." He replied in a sweet voice, then looked down at his girl with a nice smile. She smiled back, but once his grin began to look a little more sinister, she stopped. "And since you really interested in them, lemme tell you what this nigga said." Riley started, ending in another snicker.
"What?" Stacia asked in a hushed excited tone. Riley's sneaky smile was still plastered on his visage as he leant in her ear and whispered something.
Stacia's eyes grew as big as saucers. When he pulled away, he looked at his girl and couldn't help but crack up at her expression.
"No…" She responded in disbelief which made Riley laugh a little harder. "He said that?" Riley nodded his head as his braids swung around his neck. At first Stacia stared at him with a blank expression, but the next minute…
She was done! She was so weak that her legs nearly gave out. Riley couldn't help but laugh with her. The situation was funny, but her laughter was so daggone contagious that he had to laugh at that too.
Their laughter caused everyone to look at them to see what was going on.
"Hey, what's goin' on?"
Told you.
Riley and Stacia had enough strength to look at the person who'd said that, and once they did, they fell out again.
Huey and Jazmine raised their eyebrows and shook their heads. Lamaar, Marcus and Camille just shrugged.
Speaking of Camille, she had things to do in the morning and it was getting rather late. Shoot, it was already past 12:30.
"Hey guys!" she yelled, getting everyone's attention. "I'm leaving." She announced as everyone nodded. Marcus tried to protest, but when Camille was ready to go, it was final. It always was.
"No babe, don't go yet." He pleaded. Camille shook her head and sighed.
"Marcus, I got things to do tomorrow and if I don't wake up when my alarm goes off, I'm blaming you." She half-joked.
"What the hell does that have to do with me?"
Apparently Marcus didn't take those very well. Camille just rolled her eyes. She didn't feel like getting into this again.
"Marcus, I'm leavin'. You comin' or not?" She asked in a no-nonsense tone. Marcus seemed to contemplate for a minute, but eventually sighed heavily and nodded as Lamaar snickered with Riley.
"Nigga, you whipped." Lamaar joked as Marcus scoffed.
"Yellow nigga, shut up." He told his best friend. "You comin'?"
At first Lamaar was going to say no, but he was feeling a little tired himself, so what was the use in staying?
He shrugged. "I guess."
Before leaving, all three of them waved goodbye to the crew minus Caesar and Cindy and left out the door.
Now, left in the house was Huey, Jazmine, Riley, Stacia and Hiro.
Wondering where Granddad is, huh?
Shoot, after his little talk with Hiro about some big party at his house, he hauled ass out of that place and got him a room at a hotel for the night. He won't about to be around no obnoxious teenagers. Nuh uh.
So with the house all to themselves, everyone was fine. Better than fine. Shoot, they were ecstatic. This was a rare occasion, so they were about to savor this.
After Mint Condition's U Send Me Swingin' was over, Hiro decided to play around and put on Soulja Boy's 'Donk'.
Oh hell naw.
If it was one artist in particular Huey couldn't stand, it had to be Soulja Boy. That nigga just fucked up hip-hop for everybody. And can you believe it? Riley doesn't even like the nigga either, but he could care less when it was a party.
Shit was hype.
"Aww yeah!" Hiro yelled in the microphone, amusement in his voice as Huey slightly glared at him for choosing that song. He ignored it though. "Now I know ya'll ladies want to dance!"
And he was right.
Both girls backed away from their boyfriends a little to have some room to dance. As the beat started both of them clapped all in their boyfriends' faces as Huey rolled his eyes and Riley smirked.
She got a donk
As Soulja Boy repeated that line about three-eleven times, Jazmine popped her back with her hands on her hips in a playful manner. She didn't really give it her all because…well, it was Huey.
And it was kind of embarrassing.
Huey smirked at her dancing as she tried hard not to giggle.
Riley and Stacia on the other hand were gettin' it in.
Stacia had backed Riley into one of the four walls and did some hot dance moves in front of him that turned him on increasingly. Then she did the unthinkable, just to toy with him.
She turned around and bent over, leaning her backside against his front side.
Oh shit.
At that, Riley's eye's damn near bulged out of his head and a satisfied smirk etched his features. Stacia almost giggled as she could picture Riley's face right then. It was so funny to play with his emotions.
She began to move up and down against him rapidly (yes you guys, she's twerking), and Riley found himself reacting to her movements. Luckily for him, no one could hear the little hiss that passed through his lips. This was all too much.
Especially since they've done it plenty of times. Shoot, this was just the teaser.
Hiro noticed the frisky teens and snickered before putting the mic against his mouth once again. "Okay, Stacia! I see you! Go 'head and work it girl!" He encouraged as Stacia finally let out that little bit of laughter she was holding in. Huey and Jazmine didn't even notice what the couple was doing until Hiro said something and once they saw the display, both of them blushed.
Harshly.
Not because of the fact that Riley and Stacia did it without a care in the world. They could care less about that.
But they both thought of how it would be if that were them dancing together like that. And Huey could see Riley's overly satisfied reaction on his face. If Jazmine were to do something like that, he wouldn't know what to do with himself.
So yeah…that moment was definitely an awkward one.
But Hiro wanted to be an ass and add something else.
"I know ya'll wanna do it too!" The Asian bellowed in the mic as the couple slightly glared at him with red cheeks. He just continued to smile at them. "Aw, c'mon. It's just dancing! No harm done, right?" He tried to assure the couple, ignoring their flushed cheeks.
Riley and Stacia heard him, but they didn't care. They were too busy doing their own thing.
In all honesty, Jazmine did want to do it. She thought it'd be comical and entertaining to dance with Huey like that, but she didn't think Huey would even follow through with it.
Oh well, she was not about to sit there and wonder. All she had to do was ask.
She gave Huey a look over and her blush deepened.
"She lookin' at you." Hiro quickly informed Huey, laughing as Jazmine sent him a death-like glare. "Sorry." He apologized unconvincingly.
Huey looked at her anyways and as he saw the look on her face, he already knew what was up and his eyes grew.
"Jazmine!" he silently exclaimed, his blush deepening as well. At any other time, Jazmine would've turned her head shyly or apologized, but his reaction was just too funny.
So she giggled incessantly, bending over a little.
Sippin' on some that match my shirt
I like her, her, her, her, and her
I want them to do that over her! (over her!)
She got a donk
"Ssss." Riley hissed through his teeth in pleasure as Stacia continued her indecent grinding against him, but this time, she heard him. She looked over her shoulder, still moving, and shot him a smile.
"Aww, my baby can't handle it?" She teased. Riley ignored it and hissed again.
"Damn." He muttered as Stacia laughed and continued, alternating between slow grinds and fast ones.
Shake some wit it (Shake some wit it)
Shake some wit it (Shake some wit it)
Shake some wit it (Shake some wit it)
Shake some wit it (Shake some wit it)
Shake some wit it (Wow, wow)
Shake some wit it (Wow, wow)
Shake some wit it (Wow, wow)
Shake some wit it (Wow, wow)
"Aw, c'mon Huey. I was just playing!" Jazmine half-lied, "And even if I wanted to do that, it's not like we'd be having sex or anything." That last statement alone made the two of them blush even more than they did before. Huey rolled his eyes.
"Mm hmm." He didn't really know what to say. Shoot, he'd be a damn lie if he said he didn't want her to dance on him, but he knew he'd get a little too excited. He may've had self control, but he was still a hormonal teenager.
Of course, he blamed it on his nigga instincts.
Jazmine girlishly giggled as she saw Huey's cheeks reddening. She knew what he was thinking. How could she not? She's known that boy for years and she knew what bothered him, what excited him, what upset him, what interested him…all of that. And since now they were a couple, she seemed to know him even more.
Huey also knew that Jazmine knew what he was thinking, so he decided to avoid her giggling and focused his attention to his brother and his girl.
"Yeah, so Coach was trippin' hella hard last week, right? Talkin' 'bout some 'I-may-not-be-ya-Coach-but-you-will-respect-me-young-lady! I-ain't-ya-Daddy-I-ain't-ya-Mama-I ain't-ya' blah, blah, blah. I got bored real quick. That nigga was talkin' all fast and shit and I was 'bout to ask him if he carried breath mints on the regular cause Lord knows that nigga needed 'em." Cindy told Caesar as he just laughed at her story. They were still in the car, in the front seats while Kayla was sprawled all on the back seat, sleeping.
Cindy was talking about that one day in gym when some girls on her basketball team, along with her, decided to play Horseshoe. It was Cindy's turn and she was about to make a perfect shot, but that tall, dark skinned dude Tony (the one from her chemistry class, yes) distracted her. He was damn fine. Of course Cindy knew this and normally she wouldn't have been fazed by his appearance…
But this guy was shirtless and his muscles were sculpted almost perfectly. His six packs looked more like a four pack, but still, he was fine!
Uncaringly, she shot the ball wherever she thought the hoop might've been.
Aha! Wrong.
All at once, as the Coach turned around for no apparent reason, after scolding some girl for not holding the jump rope in her hand the right way, the orange Spalding collided with his face and the entire gym grew silent, except for a sudden 'Damn' outburst from Riley on the far side of the gym.
It wasn't as if they were scared of the Coach or anything, they just couldn't believe someone would even do something like that…it was like they were begging for a lecture of some kind.
So you basically get the idea. The Coach fussed Cindy out without giving her a chance to apologize or anything.
"So after that, the nigga said he was gon' give me detention if I ever thought about doin' somethin' like that again. Pssh, nigga don't own me. I do what I please, ya heard me?" She went on as Caesar almost crashed because he was so weak. Cindy was so serious, but she wasn't angry and that's what made it so funny. She looked so cute to him when she was feisty like that.
And the story itself was hilarious too. He would've done anything to see the look on the Coach's face.
"Oh shit." He silently let out, calming down. "Damn. See, I told you that nigga be trippin'. You lucky you got Coach Salem." Cindy rolled her eyes as he mentioned that name.
"Please. She get on my nerves too."
"Yeah, but she don't be all up in your face, breathin' your air now does she?" Caesar knowingly questioned with a smirk, keeping his eyes on the road. Cindy looked at him and smirked as well.
"Whateva , nigga." Code for, "Yeah, you right, but I don't want you to be'.
Caesar just snorted and pulled into Cindy's driveway and noticed something.
Her parents' car was missing.
Oh, excuse me, her parents' cars were missing. Rich asses.
"Hey, your mom and dad here?" he asked. Cindy waited for him to park before answering.
"No, but it's Saturday night. They always busy during the week and they barely have time for each other, so recently they said they was gon' start goin' out every weekend." Cindy stated and just shrugged, trying to hide the sadness in her voice, but it didn't fully work out. Caesar knew better. He knew something about this bothered her, but he also knew not to pry. It wasn't his place. They were best friends but everyone still had their right to privacy. It was one of those unwritten laws.
And no, not like the one where you get a yacht, a mansion and two white women just for being called a nigga.
"You can come in if you want." She politely offered her friend. She didn't feel like being alone in the house with a sleeping kid. It made her feel uneasy now to know that she'd basically be alone in the house and if something did happen to her, no one would know. Kayla would be sleeping peacefully in the guestroom and wouldn't hear a sound. Not in that soundproof room.
God, her parents always had to upgrade everything. They cool people, but damn. We get it, you're rich!
Anyways…
Caesar's exterior was on chill mode, but his interior was full of excitement, with a hint of nervousness. He was about to be alone (almost) in his female best friend's house. It's not like they'd do anything anyways. She didn't like him like that and he respected her decision. No matter how much he wanted to change her mind, he just couldn't.
"Yeah, I could chill here for a little." He smoothly let out and finally turned the car off. Cindy smiled happily as she knew she didn't have to worry about anything right that second.
"Okay."
The both of them hopped out the front and opened both sides of the doors.
"I got her." Caesar sweetly offered and carefully lifted the little girl up and out the car. Cindy smiled and thanked him before slowly walking to the door while reaching in her pocket for her house keys. As she finally found them in her left back pocket, she put the key threw the door and opened it up…
To a trashed living room.
Cindy's eyes grew and immediate frustration practically radiated from her body. She was still frozen on the spot when Caesar suddenly walked behind her with the child in his arms and looked at the sight in front of him. He nearly dropped the girl.
"What…the fuck." Cindy said in a low, dangerous tone. She sure hoped this had nothing to do with that Briana thing because she did not have the energy nor the patience for that. All she wanted to do was sit back in the living room, drink a few Pepsi's, watch Menace II Society (for the billionth time) and order pizza. Was that too much to ask?
And now, she couldn't do a damn thing. She either had to get Caesar to walk with her to find the culprit who did such a thing, or she could leave and go to Kayla's parents' house instead. The only problem with that is that they lived forty five minutes away, so uh…hell no.
Caesar shook his head. He was growing rather tired of these little senseless pranks and games that girl Brianna was playing. He had a good mind to respond to the text on his phone that he knew who she was and if she didn't stop he'd do the unthinkable, but he decided against it. It was late. This problem needed to be handled in the morning. But first,
"Cindy, I'ma look around to see if someone's here. You take Kayla upstairs." He ordered. Cindy shook her head violently.
"No."
"Cindy."
"I said no, Ceez!" She started, in a nervous voice. Caesar was taken aback by her reaction. Was she really that scared? "I'm goin' with you." She declared, but Caesar protested.
"The hell you are." Cindy glared at him. "Look, just do what I say. I promise nothing's gonna happen." He promised her. Cindy just scoffed and laughed nervously.
"Nigga, please. I don't get scared. You ain't gotta make no promises." She replied. Caesar looked at her for a second, studying her facial features. He's known the girl long enough to tell when she was lying or not. She couldn't hide from him. He could read her like a book. She was just being so damn stubborn.
Caesar just sighed before handing Kayla to her big cousin cautiously. "Just do what I say, okay? It's for your own good." He guaranteed in a soothing voice, piercing his deep brown eyes into her ocean blue ones.
And for once in her 17 years of living, Cindy McPhearson actually felt intimidated; yet, calm looking into her dread-locked best friend's eyes. What? She asked herself in thought. She was confused. Why was she feeling like this around Caesar?
The way he cared for her in that sweet gentle voice was enough to make her smile shyly and turn her head away.
And she did.
"Okay." She muttered in a small, rare voice.
It was then that Caesar realized he'd been staring into her pools for too long and he awkwardly stumbled back a bit and hit the door. Cindy's eyes grew as his coordination was a bit off and she chuckled a bit.
"Damn, since when have you been the clumsy type?" she playfully asked, resorting back to her old self. Caesar just smirked and shrugged before finally closing the front door.
"Aiight, I'll go upstairs now." Cindy slowly let out as Caesar nodded awkwardly, the odd silence now present.
With Kayla in her arms, Cindy turned on her heels and grudgingly trotted up the stairs as Caesar smirked amusedly from behind. Once she was out of sight, Caesar let out a breath of relief. Man, if he stared at her any longer, he'd probably…well he didn't know what he'd do, but since Cindy wasn't feeling him, he knew he'd do something that'd upset her and possibly ruin their friendship.
But he could've sworn he'd seen her react to his gaze too. That timid response, that soft 'okay' she gave him was an indication that, well just maybe he wasn't imagining things.
Maybe Cindy did feel something.
And for once, it had nothing to do with Riley.
Caesar just shrugged and began to search the house. If he was really worried about Cindy's safety, he was not about to stand around and ponder all night.
It's been an hour since Hiro left and none of the four teens could sleep. They sat in the living room on the floor with Riley sitting to the right of Stacia, Stacia sitting to the right Jazmine, and Jazmine sitting to the right of Huey. They all faced the television which was on some music video channel.
Not that anyone was really paying attention to it. They were engrossed in a conversation.
One that didn't focus on Briana the psycho Blasian for once.
"Yo, when Granddad comin'?" Riley asked his older brother, earning a shrug from him.
"I don't know, maybe tomorrow." Huey responded nonchalantly. He didn't really care. He knew his Granddad was fine.
Riley then turned his gaze from his older brother and smirked wickedly at his chocolate colored girlfriend. Her eyes were glued to that piece of crap phone she now possessed, all because her idiot of a boyfriend liked it 'rough'.
Riley slightly winced as he recalled that moment. Damn, he really messed up. They were just about to get it on and because her stupid ass iPhone couldn't keep itself off the floor, he ruined it with his size eleven ACG Boots. Now his girl had to go through life with a rinky dink Tracfone.
Un-bee-lievable.
"Baby," Riley began, ignoring his recollection.
"Huh?" She lightly responded, turning her neck in his direction, but continuing to look down at her phone.
"Y'know what that means, right?" He asked delightfully, that is until he noticed her demeanor not change one bit.
"Yeah, yeah. That's good."
Okay, so she wasn't paying attention to him now?
Jazmine and Huey looked at the display uncaringly and shook their heads. They noticed Riley beginning to fume and Stacia paying more attention to the phone than her loving boyfriend.
A pointless argument was about to erupt.
"Damnit Stacia!" Riley half-yelled, partly because it was too damn late for all that and partly because he didn't like to yell at his girl.
Stacia turned her head to his direction and glared at him. "Nigga, I ain't deaf. What?"
"Oh, you ain't deaf?" Riley started as his irritation grew. "You ain't even hear what I just said!"
"Yes I did!" her irritation went up as well.
"Really? Then what did I say?"
"You said, 'Damnit Stacia'! What the hell do you want?"
Riley sighed heavily and slumped his back against the front of the couch. "Forget it, I'm not even in the mood anymore." His irritation was still there but his voice wasn't as harsh. Stacia rolled her eyes at his immature pouting and scooted closer to him.
"Hey." She softly spoke to her boyfriend as if he were a child. "Baby, don't be like that." Riley didn't say anything. He was just irritated and he wanted to watch this new lame ass Thugnificent video called 'Still I Rise'. Okay, not really…he was just mad at Stacia so he didn't feel like talking to her right then.
Inwardly, Riley slightly winced as he watched the sad attempt of a video. Him and Thug went way back. Shoot, that was his homie right there, but just like Snoop, he needed to stop making music. He just wasn't cut out for it anymore.
"This shit sad." He said, completely ignoring the way Stacia leant on his shoulder. So now she wanna be all up on me. He bitterly thought, but his mean attitude faltered as he felt her rub loving circles on his chest. Damn, she always doin' this to me. I can't ever stay mad at her ass.
Hey, well that's love ain't it?
Jazmine's boredom decreased as she saw what Stacia did to Riley. It was so adorable and sweet. To calm Riley down was a challenge and it merely took his girlfriend twenty seconds. The way she lovingly leaned on him and smiled warmly was enough to make Jazmine go, "Aww…"
No one even looked in her direction. Huey just rolled his eyes as the other couple sat there in comfortable silence.
Jazmine turned to him and noticed his irritated expression and rolled her eyes. "Huey, stop looking so upset all the time. Cheer up." She sweetly tried to pump him up, but to no avail. He didn't even look in her direction as he raised that stupid eyebrow. Well, it was stupid to Jazmine at the moment.
"Yeah, whatever. All I know is Caesar better come back here with my car." Huey bluntly responded, training his eyes on that stupid video. Jazmine rolled her eyes.
"Huey, he didn't even drive your car. He drove Stacia's remember?" She reminded him, causing him to freeze automatically and think back. Jazmine just shook her head. "Wow, off all people I'd think you'd actually remember that." She went on, irritating Huey a bit. Huey scoffed and rolled his eyes again.
"Jazmine, it's late. It happens." He replied, not really feeling like getting into this with her.
Stacia all of a sudden stopped her loving gestures on her boyfriend and jerked her head up.
"Wait, that nigga still got my car!" She yelled in realization, abruptly standing up. Everyone just looked at her in shock due to her sudden outburst.
"Told you." Huey began. "That's why I never let him use my car."
Stacia ignored him and pulled out her cell phone. But instead of calling Caesar right away, she got a message from Caesar.
"Oh, so now he wanna text me." She said aloud as everyone uncaringly looked at her.
She hit that raggedy ass button her phone that read 'OK' and opened up the message.
But as she did so, and read it, she definitely knew the message didn't come from Caesar.
Yeah, I did it.
-Unknown-
Briana blew out an exhausting breath of air. This shit was old. Briana we know it's you, damn. But what the hell did she do? And if she did something to Caesar, she was gonna through all rationale out the window. No more diplomacy. This was gonna end real soon.
"What did he do this time?" Huey replied not really giving a damn. Jazmine and Riley just looked at her, waiting for a response.
"Well," She started, her tone hard as stone. "The message definitely came from his phone, but it sho' won't him." Everyone then turned to look at her, Huey included, and lifted their eyebrows. "That bitch Briana did something, but I don't know what it is. All she said was 'Yeah, I did it.' What the hell does that mean?" She questioned as if the rest of them knew. They just shrugged and rolled their eyes.
"Yo, this shit is old and tirin'." Riley responded, resting the back of his head on the couch. "You might as well text that hoe back and tell her ass we know it's her. Shit, I'm tired of waitin'." He closed his eyes as he spoke in a raspy voice; a sign that rest would soon accompany him. Stacia sighed and sat back down next to Riley. She couldn't go anywhere without her car and everyone was beginning to look like they were about to pass out.
"Baby, you're just tired." She half-joked about the entire situation and leant her head against his chest. "But anyways, I hear you. And we will get to the bottom of this, but right now I need some sleep." She ended and closed her eyes right along with her boyfriend, but at that statement he cracked one eye open and looked down at her.
"Baby…don't you think your parents gon' trip if you not home?" He asked worriedly. Once he said that, Stacia opened her eyes halfway and looked at him with a mixture of sadness, hurt, and anger in her eyes. Riley didn't respond. He just waited on her answer.
"Don't." she warned him. "You know they don't care anyways." She added, her voice softening. Riley sighed.
"Baby, c'mon now-"
"I said. Don't." She demanded in a firm voice, shutting him up immediately. Jazmine and Huey just looked at the girl with worry. "Please, don't ruin this night for me." She begged, her tone softening once again.
Riley blinked back at her for a bit and finally nodded. He didn't feel like getting into with her right now anyways. "Thank you." She thanked him sweetly, laid back on his chest, and closed her eyes again.
Riley just looked down at her for quite some time before kissing her forehead sweetly. "Baby." He whispered, "C'mon. My bed's more comfortable than this." He offered. When she opened her eyes and raised her eyebrow, he shook his head. "Not like that." He smirked and lifted the both of them up off the ground.
"Shit, my ass hurt like a bitch." He exclaimed rubbing his backside as Huey shook his head and Jazmine smiled in amusement. Stacia just gave him a deadpanned look.
"Goodnight guys." Jazmine softly said earning a nod out of Riley and a wave from Stacia.
"Night." She responded, almost walking off, until,
BOOM!
A loud ass noise reverberated from upstairs causing all four teens to jolt and look at each other with worried looks.
"What the hell/heck!" Everyone shouted in unison. Who said 'heck'?
Take a wild guess.
Everyone ran as fast as they could to the stairs, nearly tripping over the steps, and themselves. Huey was the first one to reach the highest step with Riley in tow, than Jazmine and Stacia at the same time. Huey wasted no time in throwing his door open and once he did, he halted right on the spot, just as the rest of them did.
As they stared ahead, they couldn't even say anything.
The area right where the computer and the desk once was, was completely obliterated. No computer or desk was in sight. Some burnt remains were sprawled on the floor and on both of the brothers' beds, along with some bricks, but that was about it.
Both Riley and Huey clenched their teeth in rage and fury. Okay, someone was goin' down tonight!
Jazmine and Stacia narrowed their eyes evilly to the empty area that was now met with the outside world. They were both angry too. Briana took things a little too far. This chick just tried to kill the Freemans! What is her deal?
And if she was supposedly after Huey, then why was she trying to kill him?
"Y'know what," Riley finally spoke aloud in a 'don't fuck with me' voice. "On second thought, I'ma skip sleep tonight." And just like that, he walked over to his closet, silently thanked God that the explosion was minor, and opened it.
Huey knew exactly what his little brother was up to, and for once, he didn't try to stop him. Hell, he didn't want to stop him.
Jazmine and Stacia were still silently glaring at the area and unknowingly clenched their hands into fists so tight that blood could've been drawn and they wouldn't have even known it. That's what anger did to a person.
"I." Jazmine started in a low octave through clenched teeth, causing the very upset others to look her way. "Am going, to kick. Her. Ass."
And the other three, despite their anger, dropped their jaws in shock. Riley's head was still buried in the closet, but his expression was just the same as the others.
What the hell?
Did…did Jazmine, Jazmine Dubois, just…curse?
"And I dare anybody to stand in my way." She, dared…as the other three were on mute. She was pretty damn intimidating right now, so it'd be smart not to mess with her. Huey just wrapped a protective arm around her shoulders, wincing at the look she shot him. She wasn't necessarily glaring at him, but her anger wasn't going anywhere. Not until this problem was resolved. And she wasn't going to sleep neither. Nope.
"Jazmine, normally I would disagree with the way your mind is processing right now," He began, ignoring the death-like glare from his girlfriend, "But, right now, I just don't care. Briana went way too far. Hell, she went too far when she had someone nearly do away with Cindy and I'll be damned if I let that crazy girl do that again; to any of us." He continued as her glare softened, but still remained. "So like Stacia said before, there's no time to be diplomatic."
Stacia blinked back at him in surprise. She never thought Huey would ever resort to anything other than a diplomatic approach.
Riley finally pulled his head out of the closet, along with a silver case and grinned wickedly. The other three looked at each other and shrugged as they walked over to where Riley was, Huey's arm falling off of Jazmine's shoulder.
Riley set the case down on his bed, brushing away the debris and fully opened it, revealing half a dozen arsenal weapons.
Now, If it were any regular old day, the girls would've squealed in shock, but as you can see, it's not a normal day.
So there were no normal reactions.
Without thinking, Jazmine quickly picked up the two matching 9MM handguns and prepared to place them in her back pocket, but Huey grabbed her wrist.
"Aye, now." He started, retracting the dangerous weapons out of her hands and placing them back in the case. "Slow down. We may not be diplomatic, but we still can't walk around actin' like a damn fool whippin' weapons around in the air." He informed her as the three of them just looked at him uncaringly.
Jazmine sighed annoyingly and rolled her eyes. "Huey, this girl just crossed the line! She just tried to kill you! Kill you!" She emphasized, getting loud as all hell. "So if you could please just hand over the guns-"
"No. Not yet."
"Huey!"
"No, Jazmine! Damn!" He suddenly yelled, his patience nearly gone. "We still gotta think! The four of us," he said, pointing his finger to all of them, "Are not gonna win against that girl! I'm pretty sure she's not dumb enough to do this on her own, and since Riley and Marcus said the person they saw was a big ass super nigga lookin' dude then we know she's not alone." Huey went on as Jazmine still stared at him, but seemed to calm down a bit. "Now calm it down. We got all night to use those."
"Hell yeah," Riley interjected. "But right now, we gon' need to hit up everybody else. Then we gon' have to go to Ed and Rummy's." Everyone nodded in agreement, but then Jazmine's eyes widened. She knew she forgot something important.
"Oh my God!" She exclaimed. "We gotta make sure Caesar's okay!" She yelled again and everyone widened their eyes in realization and made a quick dash out the room (Riley made sure to bring the case with him) and down the stairway, almost tripping once again.
As they reached the bottom, Huey quickly ordered everyone to wait outside and they all obliged. He sprinted to the kitchen area to retrieve his keys from the table and as he passed the bathroom, he heard a low hissing sound.
Oh hell naw. This was not happening.
Not even trying to witness the mass destruction that was to come, he hurried over to his keys and ran out the door, locking it surprisingly fast.
He unlocked the car door, nearly pushed everyone inside, as if they were moving too slow, and hopped into the driver's side.
Man, if Briana thought she'd get away with her little stunts, she had another thing coming.
Shit was about get real.
Mm, mm, mmm! *shakes head*
What Briana's doin' is just...it's unacceptable! *sighs like that dramatic white dude who looked at Riley's graffiti and thought it was 'beautiful, yet gangsta'*
Can't wait to hear from you guys! Please review! :)
