---->PIC OF LEVI LA'JAIH'S BROTHER
Amahli.
Bianca had woken up before me and said she'd be back, she had gone food shopping however I was still tired so I told her to go without me. I heard the front door open and slam shut with my instant reaction to jump up, I stood on the landing watching La'Jaih take off her heels slowly making her way up the stairs.
She looked up at me but said nothing which left me confused, from what I re-call we were cool so why the sudden change?
La'Jaih: Can you please excuse me?
She asked standing on the second to top stairs looking down, I didn't move I continued to look down on her.
La'Jaih: Amahli can you please excuse me? I'm not in the mood for your silly games, how old are you 26 or 11?
I lifted up her chin so that she was looking at me. I didn't understand how she still looked flawless after hours of clubbing.
Me: What's wrong?
She pushed me out the way catching me off guard then walked straight into her room, locking the door. I sighed running my fingers through my dreads, I had no idea what was wrong with her, why she was acting so off with me? I went back into B's room closing in the door.
La'Jaih.
I told Zaraah about the situation of Amahli being Bianca's boyfriend and she told me her honest opinion. She said he was full of sh*t and nothing but pure waste, how can he make a move to me in a club knowing he has a girlfriend? Well technically he didn't really make a move on me, he barely just flirted. However he did make a move here, right here in this room and the bathroom.
This made me think, no-way was I about to become some bodies side chick and if he wanted to really be with me he'd brake things off with Bianca. Once I was in my room I stripped wrapping my towel around myself then went into the bathroom to shower.
I felt so relaxed and calmed once I stepped out that shower, I wrapped the towel around me again then brushed my teeth. I heard someone rattling with the door and knew it was no other than Amahli, when I finished I exited the room to be greeted by him.
Amahli: Talk to me
Me: Excuse me please Amahli, you're in my way
I didn't want to have a conversation with him. Whatever we had was wrong and I was putting my foot down, I can't do this to Bianca.
Amahli: Yes and I know that, beh what's wrong tell me?
His hand rested on my cheek, as my arms remained folded I looked up into his warm green eyes.
Me: Excuse me
I removed his hands passing him and walking into my room, I made sure I locked the door so he couldn't come in. An hour later I heard Bianca shout from downstairs that I should help with the shopping but I refused to come out my room knowing Amahli was still here. My phone began to vibrate and the caller I.D flashed Indya, I picked up on the 4th ring.
Indya: Take your time why don't you?
I sighed then answered.
Me: Hey, Indie what's up?
Indya: You sound depressed, are you okay should I come round?
She asked all at once, to be honest I wouldn't mind a little company.
Me: Yes, please do
Indya: Sure, I'll get Jermaine to drop me
I locked off resuming to my previous doing, staring up at the ceiling once again. I don't know but it always managed to calm me down or take things off my mind. My bedroom door knocked, I knew it had to be either Bianca or Amahli so I ignored it. The person continued to knock until I opened my door peering through.
Me: Yes?
I asked him. He was fully dressed and smelt so fresh, I couldn't brace myself to look him in the face, because them eyes, them eyes always made me feel weak.
Amahli: We're ordering Pizza, what do you want?
Me: Nothing
I replied slamming the door shut in his face, I leaned against the door still sensing he was there, I hated doing this to him but I had to, it was the only way I'd get over whatever we had. He was with Bianca and the only person that could change that was him, if he wanted me he knew where I was. Keep in mind I was not about to stick around forever...
I opened the front door greeting Indya with a hug, but she stood there unable to move looking at the figure behind me.
Indya: Isn't that-
I nodded trying to shush her.
Indya: Are you two-
I dragged her in telling her to shhh.
Indya: What's going on?
Before I could reply Bianca took him by the hand walking into the living room, Indya stood there shocked.
Bianca: Hey Indya
Bianca spoke winking at her, I closed Indya's mouth and told her to come upstairs.
Indya: So you mean to tell me, Pretty eyes is with that troll?
She asked making herself comfortable in my bed, I nodded joining her.
Indya: But he likes you?
Me: Correct
Indya: And he keeps tryin' it?
Me: Correct
Indya: So what are you doing? He's fine, why not have a bit of excitement in your life. Your 18, an adult and your behaving like some secondary girl?
Me: Zaraah, told me to forget about him
Indya: And Zaraah don't know sh*t. I know it sounds wrong, messing around with your sisters man but didn't you get that thrill?
I nodded again covering my face with my hands.
Indya: And I know for a fact you like him, don't you?
Me: Yes, ever since I first saw him
Indya: So f*ck it! Play dirty!!!
She shouted, I laughed high fiving her. We laid in bed watching movie after movie after movie, until I remember that I hadn't eaten.
Me: Pizza, Chinese, Or Indian?
I asked on the verge of leaving my room.
Indya: Chinese
I left my room walking down the landing to get the house phone, I picked it up dialling the number waiting to place my order. His hands wrapped around my waist and he didn't waste no time in kissing, nibbling on my neck.
Amahli: Talk to me
He begged again, as low as a whisper. I gulped talking to the man telling him what I wanted, all throughout my phone call I could feel the love bites Amahli purposely made.
Me: Stop
I gently pushed him again, hanging up the phone.
Amahli: Talk to me, what's wrong
I shook my head no, meaning nothing but he wasn't haven't it.
Amahli: Seriously, La'Jaih. Talk to me
Me: Later!
I tapped his shoulder walking pass him and into my room. I could see the dumbfounded look on his face as I closed in the door.
Amahli.
She rubbed my hand and gave her a weak smile returning my focus onto the television.
Bianca: I've been looking for a place of my own
Me: Very nice
I replied keeping my eyes strictly on the TV.
Bianca: Tomorrow I'm going to view some and I'd love your company
Me: What time?
Bianca: 5, you could pick me up from work?
She half suggested, half told me.
Me: I'll try, if not I'll meet you there. Are you forgetting that I work?
She pouted her lips, looking at me.
Bianca: Mmmm... Okay
Truth be told, I didn't have work tomorrow but I needed time on my own. Breathing in my own space without B asking or tempting me for sex. I know I should lock the relationship off but that would brake her heart, although its been a two month relationship she loves me, I like her, care for her but I'm not sure about me falling in love with her.
I saw La'Jaih walk pass, opening the front door. I didn't even hear the bell ring.
Bianca: What's that you got?
Me: Chinese, want some?
Bianca shook her head no but I jumped up saying yes, only because I wanted to talk to her. I followed her into the kitchen closing in the door quietly, she began taking out plates from the cupboards placing them on the table.
Me: Can we talk now?
She nodded un-tying the plastic bag.
Me: What's wrong?
La'Jaih: Nothing
Me: Don't give me that La'Jaih, you've been giving me the cold shoulder all day
La'Jaih: I wasn't in the mood, that's all
Me: I don't believe you, your lying; talk to me
Her mouth told me a lie whilst her eyes told me something else, something was bothering her and I wanted to know.
La'Jaih: I was just a bit p*ssed off, you being with Bianca me liking you an all. Wondering if you really wanted to be with me and if so, why are you still with B?
I walked over to her, replying to what she just said with a kiss. Within giving her this kiss I released every ounce of passion I had deep inside, I explained how much I liked her, how much I wanted her, how much I was attracted to her during that ONE KISS. She pulled away and I opened my eyes, she looked lost and so was I, lost in her beauty trying to find a way out but failing.
Me: I like you La'Jaih, give me time yeah?
I needed time. I needed to lock things off with B, but how I didn't want to hurt her feelings? The door creaked and I moved far away from La'Jaih pretending to look in the fridge, her friend walked in smiling.
La'Jaih: Amahli this is Indya, Indya this is Amahli
Indya: I remember you, your that man we saw at the club
I nodded opening the can of coke, I took out of the fridge.
Me: Yeah, that's me
She gave La'Jaih this look, smirking then took up a plate telling her what she wanted.

Random"I want you so bad La'Jaih if only you knew how much" I fought the temptation removing his hands from off me, then putting my hoops in my ears. He sighed sitting on my bed, his face in the palm of his hands. I didn't even know him properly, the only...
