The Wrong Twin

Part Seven

Madison Pov

You were only suppose to love me?
What changed?
Were you going through changes?

My mind drifts off to Quincy walking away from me yet again.
I didn't stop it, I couldn't stop him.

"Shawn, Shawn" he looks at me stupidly.
Before he walks aways he says
"You know it was suppose to be you."

I stare at him dumbfounded.
Even now I can't own up to my feelings.
Even now I will not own up to my feelings.
The girl who wants more than she absolutely deserves.

Sighing I remove myself from my bed and do my morning routine.

"Why are you spaced out?" Shyla questions.
"I'm fine" I nervously giggle.

"You are lying to me lovely, but when you are ready I'm here to listen."
I respond by smiling.

"Now let me tell you about Raheem's ignorant ass. He still hasn't apologized . . WAIT BEST FRIEND IS YOUR BUTT GETTING FAT?"

"No don't get shy on me girl, 360 mamas!"
I throw my head back giggling while doing the 360.

Both of us live in the moment carefree on the sidewalk of our neighborhood.
The wind wipes my tears.
The sun brings me comfort.
My laughter brings me warmth.
In this very moment I'm whole.

Maybe I need to stop worrying about Quincy.
I will no longer wonder what we could have been.
I'm in the present.

'Come see me tonight' Shawn texts me.
My face heats up as I put my phone away.
My bestfriend and I continue walking to the corner store.

As we approach the store the usual guys stare at us with desire.
Shyla rolls her eyes in response.

"Aye chocolate drop, chocolate drop you don't hear me mama" this guy calls out to me.
"Bitches be too Hollywood" his other friend calls out.

"Bitch? Who's a bitch? Matter fact I got your bitch" Shyla responds for me.
"Raheem, yes, okay whatever baby.. Yeah this guy called me and my home girl a bitch."
Shyla turns to me with a smirk on her face.

"What candy you want? Let's go in the store now."
"What did you tell Raheem? I know that suspicious facial expression.. Is he on his way?" I nervously ask.

"Girl" she says, waving her hands dramatically dismissing me.
I hear noise outside the store and before my nosiness gets the best of me, Raheem casually walks in.

"Wassup baby, wassup Maddy. Y'all good?"
"Don't baby me, we are not together. Thank you for handling that. Bye bye now" Shyla cooly says.
Raheem grabs her waist, whispering in her ear.
Shyla blushes and pretends she's not feeding into his shenanigans.

I'm used to their on and off relationship.
Not bothering to comment on my friends relationship, I pay for my candy.

"Maddy I'm about to take your home girl out somewhere."
"I know the deal when it comes to both of y'all" I say waving them off.

Pulling out my phone I go to my recent text message
'Ok that'll be fine' I text back.

"I'm surprised you actually linked a nigga. You know your soft spoken ass always fronting" Shawn says.

"Don't make me regret it" I tease.
"Girl bye I see that wide smile on your face, you are enjoying yourself" his laugh fills up the room.

"I might be."
"Come here. Why are you so far? Relax."

"Nobody wants to be so close to you nigga" I mumble.
With an amused and playful facial expression he says "Look at little Maddy getting comfortable!"

I wave my hand and continue scrolling on Instagram.
"Your lips look real soft right now.. Deadass come here."
His hands rest on my chin as he stares into my boring brown orbs.
My lips slightly part as I intake a shaky breath.

I notice the way his skin glows into the moonlight, the way his eyes dilate as he observes me,
the way his wide yet perfectly structured nose inches closer to my face, but I especially notice
the way his perfectly defined pink lips excite me.

My hands find his face and my eyes close.
His pink plump lips capture mine.
I feel his free hand tighten on my waist.

"Baby the things I would do to you" he whispers.
"The things you won't be doing" I say, crazily looking at him.

Quincy Pov

I'm watching them from across the street and I am fuming.
My cousin told me he's taking her out and I surely did follow them.
Why did she kiss him?

Is she really falling for this guy?
He doesn't even know her..
At least not the way that I do.

This one kiss makes me question my sanity.
Why does this one kiss bother me?
He doesn't deserve her.

Her laugh makes you want to laugh.
Her smile makes you want to smile.
She's an awkward beauty.
You just have to be near her.
Her presence makes you feel whole.
Her presence makes me feel whole.

So again why is she kissing my cousin?
What does he have that I don't?
Is it her attention, perhaps her heart?

Niggas should know by now, I don't play about mine..
