Separate But Equal

I'm Sure Pt. 1

I'm actually happy that I made peace with Draya, she's good people. I convinced Robyn and Honey to ease up on her. Home is, well it's home I guess. Nothing new there really. Mervin's creepy ass still lurks around the house. I really wish I knee why my dad keeps him around because I don't trust his ass. Sitting in class with Chris, and the guys I pull Chris to me.

"He knows." I say.

"Who knows, who's he, and what does he know?" He questions seriously.

"Langston. He knows about us?" I said finally telling him. I really didn't want Chris to know because I didn't want him worrying, but it's eating me alive keeping this from me.

"What, how long?"

"Two weeks."

"How'd he find out?"

"I don't know, he had pictures of us on his phone, he said he wouldn't tell if we gave him one thing."

"What doss he want?"

"Me." He chuckled showing his pearly whites.

"Nope not happening."

"I set that straight already, we gotta be more careful." He nodded. His hand found mines interlocking our fingers.

"Hey we haven't spent any time together lately, you wanna meet up at our spot?"

"Yeah, you gonna get me tonight?" I missed sneaking out my window to his car. Even though I had my own car, and I could drive myself I like sneaking out.

'Well look at this, I done turned you into a bad girl.' I laughed at him speaking through I mind link.

'Don't act like you don't like it.' I looked at him smug. He bit his lip at my words.

'Nope, I love it. And you.' I was taken aback, not out of shock of him saying it, but out of shock that he admitted it first.

'I love you too.' I do I love this dude, he gets me. Enemies or not, he gets me. I felt a poke at my shoulder it Draya smiling behind me giving me the thumbs up.

'Are you sure it's a good idea for you to trust her?'

'I'm sure. She's not as bad as I thought she was.'

Chris said he'd get me an hour later so I'm gonna knock all my homework out, and catch up on some early class assignments. Nobody was home, just me so you can imagine my surprise when I saw Mervin at the front door of my house.

"My dad's not here, and neither is my brother."

"I know they told me get something your mom has." This must be big, my dad hardly ever involves my mom.

"Mom Mervin's here for you." I yelled knowing she was in the kitchen. I went back upstairs feeling Mervin's creepy eyes on me. I showered quickly changing. I told my mom I was going to Honey's house later so she wouldn't get suspicious. Chris told me he was outside so I hopped out my window. Running down the block I get to Chris' car, and we were gone. When he pulled up I saw that he set up a little picnic for us.

"Baby it's beautiful." I kissed his cheek sitting down.

"I wanted to something even if it is something simple."

"The simple things are always the best." After eating he got behind me wrapping me in his arms. I leaned back into his chest soaking in the moment.

"I remember holding you like this on our first date." I remembered that too, I felt so safe in his arms that night.

"You are safe." He spoke out loud hearing my thoughts.

"How did you feel that night?" I asked.

"I felt like you belonged there. Like you were meant to be in my arms." I turned to face him.

"I do belong in your arms, I've always belonged there." He leaned in to kiss me slowly pushing me on my back. His hand slid to my shirt rubbing the exposed skin of my belly. He inched it up a bit higher palming my breast through my bra.

"You wanna do this?" He asked sincerely? I nodded then told him yes mentally. He shook his head.

"No. Bae I need to physically hear you say it, are you sure this is what you want?" I looked at him wrapping my arms around his neck.

"I'm sure." I breathed.
