They stood up and walked out the door Jarrell turned back to Druex, "Hey listen to the radio we need to talk."
"Yea." Dreux replied as Jarrell turned on the radio, and left Duex to his thoughts.
Druex sat there not moving not till he heard a Glenn Lewis song come on:
Beautiful Eyes
Something 'Bout The Way You Look At me
Making Me Feel Like This Is
A Love For All Time
Beautiful Eyes
Something In Your Eyes
Has Got Me Hypnotized That I
Wanna Stay In This Dream For Life
His mind went back to the first time he saw her smile that morning in the hall, but what he really couldn't shake out his mind was the way her eyes gleamed when she touched his hair for the first time that morning when they were talking. He knew what he wanted but he didn't know if he could change his ways. The song went on and Druex just became even more confused it was like Angel Fizz and Devil Fizz were sitting on his shoulder.
Brittney was something he used to dream about, she was a perfect imperfection, the kind of girl he used to want. Well, until he got to 7th Grade and he started to notice that getting some girls to do what he wanted, ans it wasn't hard at all. And that the girls like Brittney were better left off as friends, females to respect, like yo' mama and sisters and stuff.
Jarrell and Brittney were in the kitchen sitting at the bar listening to the music from the radio, when Jarrell looked up, "Bri you know he didn't mean what he said."
Brittney rolled her eyes, "He's just like Jerome, a playa forever and as long they don't hurt or get too attached everything is fine. They never worry how they words hurt other people, even if they don't mean it."
"So you like my boy huh?" He asked kind of like how he asked Druex earlier.
Brittney looked down at her manicured fingers, "I could have liked yo' boy Rell, but yo' boy ain't my type and I'm not his type."
Jarrell poked out his lips and raised his eyebrow, doing Brittney's attitude face, "Bri don't play, don't fake it."
Brittney laughed throwing a cloth napkin at his face, "The face only works with me!"
They were laughing and stuff when Jarrell sat next to her, "Bri, he feelin you, I promise he just weird."
"Jerome is weird too and I ain't doin it again and I know you heard me today, I know you did." Brittney replied looking at Jarrell, speaking truth.
Before Jarrell could reply Druex walked in the strangest look on his face, "Is this a private party or can I join?"
"Shoot sit down nigga." Jarrell replied tapping Brittney on the leg as Druex took a seat.
Druex looked around and his eyes caught Brittney's and her eyes were different, cold, upset, disappointed, nothin like they were earlier. He was about to say something when the phone rang, "Hello?"
Britt what this Xabo (Xavier) say about you & some punk ass nigga at da house?" Her big brother Jayson asked mad through the phone, maybe Jayson was caught up with the wrong people, maybe he wasn't a good guy but he loved his family specially his little sister. And the last thing he wanted was her laid up like some of the hoes he dealt with.
Brittney sighed and Turned back at Jarrell and Druex who making faces at each other, trying to talk without speaking, "Jay, Xa just lying he just a friend and Rell over here too, we ain't alone."
"Ma out of town that's what you call alone! Rell ain't no betta but I know his lil ass but I don't know that otha punk so I don't trust him wit you. And Xabo say he called you his girl, what happened to Jerome?" Jayson asked all up in her business as usual.
