(Desire)
(1 Week Later)
"What type of movies you like?" Jacari asks me as I join him on his couch.
As soon as the week was up Jacari called and ask me if I wanted to hang with him at his house.
Within that week my mom disappeared again so I wasn't about to turn Jacari down.
Even if I have to suffer the consequences whenever I go back.
Plus school is out for Christmas and New Years Break.
I can't spend a whole 2 weeks there by myself with Dennis.
If Jacari wants me to I might spend the whole 2 weeks here with him.
"Umm Romances, Dramas, I pretty much like everything" I say.
"You see anything you wanna watch?"
I watch as he scrolls through the movies on Netflix.
Then I see my favorite movie in the whole wide world.
Titanic.
"Oooh Titanic. I wanna watch that" I say.
He keeps scrolling right past it.
"I'm not watching that" he says.
"Why not?" I ask.
I mean how could any one not love Titanic.
"That movie is 3 hours long and boring as hell." He says.
"Don't ask me if I see anything I want to watch if your not going to let me watch it. That's mean." I say.
He chuckles a little.
"Do you really want to watch it?" He asks.
"Well it is my favorite movie. " I say.
"Well alright then" he says as he goes back to Titanic.
"Don't think it's always gone be like this." He says.
"What?" I ask.
"This relationship. . You can't always get your way" he says.
Relationship?
"I didn't know I was in a relationship" I say.
"Well you are" he says.
I smile a little to myself.
I have a boyfriend.
But the feeling quickly fades.
I have a boyfriend but is getting r***d by my mom's boyfriend and he doesn't know about it.
I get knocked out of my thoughts by the sound of someone knocking on the front door.
"You expecting some company? " I ask Jacari.
"No i'm expecting some pizza" he says as he gets up off the couch.
He goes to the door then comes back with a pizza box.
"Since we in a relationship now. We gotta get to know each other." He says
laughing.
"We did things backwards" I say.
Really backwards.
I thought the getting to know each other part came first.
I guess we just fell for each other instantly.
"What's your favorite color?" He asks.
"Blue."
"Favorite thing to do?"
"Read"
"Favorite animal?"
"Puppies"
"Favorite Food? "
"Cheese Fries."
"What you doing for Christmas?"
"Nothing."
"Do you love me?"
"Yes."
"Are you a virgin?"
That question chokes me up.
I guess I'm not.
But every that's ever happened to me has never been consensual.
So I could be.
"Yes." I say.
"When is your birthday?"
"January 5, 1999"
"That's crazy" he says and starts smiling real hard.
"What?" I ask.
"That's my mama birthday too." he says.
That's basically how the night went.
Him just asking me a bunch of random questions.
Us just getting to know each other.
