"And your a broke bitch! Crying and shit like a little ass girl-"

Jahseh tuned out Kelly and his dad who were arguing in the car. They finally pulled up to the house and the two kept going at it. They all got out the car, Apollo cursing at Kelly.

"Last time I check I brought your stupid ass here! You can fucking leave my house for all I care!" Apollo shouted, walking right behind Kelly up to the house.

Jahseh shook his head following behind his dad. Walking in the house, he shut the door behind him. He was let out the hospital and was now home. He had been doing some thinking about his grandfather offer and was thinking about taking it. He really needed to get out this house and be on his own. And even though he felt he was moving quite fast, it still needed to be done. At least to help with his mental health.

"Apollo, shut the fuck up with ya stupid ass! Your so damn dumb and I can't stand your ass. You wanna act all damn tough when in reality your really a pussy. Your ex ran all over your dumb ass!" Kelly shouted back, stomping up the stairs. Jahseh wanted to say something, but stopped himself.

This had nothing to do with him, but he didn't like Kelly mentioning his mom. Apollo shook his head, muttering under his breath as he walked in the kitchen. Jahseh walked in after him, finding the opportunity to talk to him. He just wanted one simple conversation.

"Dad-"

"I don't have time for your shit Jahseh." Apollo cut him off. He grabbed a beer out the fridge then popped it up with a bottle opener. Jahseh kept his mouth shut watching his dad take down the whole beer before tossing it in the trash. His dad use to be a drinker, so he seen he was getting back to his habits.

"I just want to talk about everything that's been going on. If you would give me five minutes." Jahseh spoke, Apollo ignored him grabbing another beer.

"Unless, we're talking about that hospital bill, I don't give a damn at all." Apollo told him, walking out. Jahseh clenched his jaw, lowering his head a little.

Why did he even try?

The front door opened making Jahseh turn around. He tuck in his lips seeing the tall, brown skin man standing in the doorway. Shane opened the door some more wanting a good look at the young man standing before him.

"Hi." Jahseh finally spoke, Shane cross his arms still looking him up and down.

Jahseh cleared his throat, "Right, I came here for Blu. If she's not here then I can go..." he trailed off keeping eye contact with the man. Shane look him up and down once more before stepping to the side.

"Come on." He told him, Jahseh nodded his head stepping into the house. Shutting the door, Shane walked to the living room and Jahseh followed behind him. He took a seat on the couch, Shane sitting on the sofa. Leaning back on the couch, Jahseh looked around trying not to be awkward.

This was for sure awkward for him and he didn't even know why.

"So, what's your name young man?" Shane finally asked his question, fixing his watch on his arm. He was on his way to meet a few friends, but this was more important to him. A boy he didn't know coming to the house asking for his daughter...yeah, he had time.

"Umm, it's Jahseh." Jahseh answered hesitantly. He shook his head a little at how he was acting all of a sudden. He was nervous, especially, since he was talking to Blu dad. The man that Blu looked up to, so he was positive she wanted a man like him. Or at least close to it.

Jahseh wondered if he was on point with her expectation or was at least close to it. But, he doubt he was for some reason.

"Jahseh?" Shane asked and he nodded his head.

"I mean, yes sir." Jahseh corrected himself.

Shane glance over at him, Jahseh keeping his fidgeting at a minimum. He didn't want it to look like he was nervous, even though he was.

"How old are you, Jahseh?"

"18."

"How do you know my daughter?"

"We go to school together, she's in my class and we're basically friends."

"Do you like my daughter?" Shane bluntly asked looking at Jahseh.

"Uhh..." Jahseh paused looking down at his hands. He took a deep breath and put his attention back on Shane. "Yeah." he finally answered.

"Yes, I like Blu, but I haven't told her. I don't want you to think I'm using her or anything either. I'm not too good at expressing myself, so yeah." He answered, fidgeting with his finger. He had just admit he liked Blu which caught him off guard.

He liked her, he knew he did. She was different, beautiful, made him smile often then anyone ever did. Not only that, but she didn't judge, not one bit. So, yeah, he did like her. Shane kept staring at him not saying anything. Before he could, Blu walked in.

"Thanks for telling me he was here dad." She sarcastically said once she seen Jahseh.

"I just wanted to talk to the kid." Shane answered getting up. She roll her eyes grabbing Jahseh hand and he got up at well.

"Right, well go hang out with your old friends who still use teen slang." She remarked walking off, Jahseh right behind her.

"You bogus." Shane said just to irritate her. Blu roll her eyes again walking up the stairs. They headed down the hall and walked in her room.

"Sorry for my dad." She apologized, shutting her room door.

"What was he talking to you about?" She asked walking to her bed and sitting on it.

"You good and he was just asking me questions." He answered keeping it simple. He sat down and took off his shoes.

"Mhm, what type of questions?" She asked.

"He asked my name, how old I was and how we meet. And..." he trailed off debating if he wanted to tell her.

"And..." she dragged after him.

"And he asked what I was trying to do with you. I just told him I wasn't going to use, so yeah." He answered, shrugging his shoulders. He was hesitant to tell her about him liking her. He had told her dad and that wasn't his intention either.

Blu nodded her head leaning back on her pillows.

"Well, I'm glad he didn't go overboard with you. Now, come here babe!" She put her hands out for him, smiling. He let out a small chuckle, laying in between her legs.

"I'm babe now?"

"Of course."

Jahseh stared at the picture he had took of Blu for a few minutes now. His mind when he first look at it was traveling like crazy. He had some unholy thoughts, things he didn't mind doing if she let him. But, the more he look at the picture, the less sexual thoughts he had. He was now just admiring her. She was extremely beautiful and everything about her was too. Her personality, skin, hair, eyes, body, everything! She look good and she made him feel good about himself. And that's exactly the type of girl Jason told him to get.

He remembered his brother telling him when he was younger to appreciate the girls that are hard to deal with with. The ones that'll make sure your alright because those are the same ones that'll be with you 'til the end. Not the type of girls that only want to have sex, or was only in it for the money. Blu was the type of girl his brother told him to keep around, to wife up before she's taken by someone else. Never take advantage of them because those girls are one in a million. You won't be able to come across them ever again in life.

And he knew for sure Blu was that one in a million. Now, all he had to do was ask her...if he got the courage to do so.

"You know if we weren't friends, I would think you was a creep." Blu said, laying next to him. He look over at her and she gave him a smile.

"I'm not a creep, I was just looking at it." He spoke nervously.

"It's fine, Jah, don't get scared. I don't mind you staring at a picture of me. We're you fantasizing about me?" She asked, playing with him.

"Not necessarily." He answered and she hummed. "I had thoughts at first, but after awhile I stopped having them."

"Oh, wow. So, I'm not sexy enough for you fo have sexual thoughts about me. My heart is broken." She joked, placing her hand on her heart and acting fake hurt. Jahseh shook his head, locking his phone.

"That's nowhere near what I was trying to say. Your beautiful and that's really what I was thinking about."

"I'm beautiful? I have a whole outie, how is that cute?" She asked, lifting up her shirt.

"What does that have to do with anything?" He asked and she shrugged her shoulders.

"It doesn't, I'm just saying anything right now."

Jahseh shook his head, smirking a little. It went quiet between them and it wasn't awkward. Blu started mumbling the lyrics to the song she had playing. It was an old song that Jahseh wasn't too familiar with, but he was starting to like it a little. As she sung, he thought about making a move; a little move though. He was hesitant to do it since he didn't want to look stupid if she said no.

But, then again he wouldn't know what her answer was if he didn't ask. He took a deep breath before speaking.

"Blu, can I ask you something?" He asked, breaking the silence between them.

"You okay?" She automatically asked sitting up. He sat up too, facing her.

"Yeah, I'm good, I just wanna ask you a question." He said and she nodded her head.

"Wassup?"

"Okay, umm, basically I wanted to ask...if you would want to you know..." he trailed off, Blu raising her brow.

"You know what?" She asked. "What you want to ask me?"

He took a deep breath, "I wanna see if you would like to go on a date with me. I mean...can I take you out on a date?" He finally asked her.

"Really?" Blu asked, excitedly and he nodded his head.

"Yeah, I wanna take you out. I'm not entirely sure where, I mean, if your into the whole fancy stuff then I can do that I guess. Not like fancy fancy, but some expensive restaurant or something. I don't really know, but I'm going to make sure it's special of course. You know..." he rambled, nervously.

Blu chuckled, "I would love to go on a date Jahseh and it doesn't have to be fancy. I'm not into any of that." She told him, Jahseh letting out a breath of relief.

"You sure?" He asked and she nodded her head.

"I'm sure, I don't need any of that. We're teenagers, the hell I need a fancy dinner for?" She asked sarcastically, leaning towards him.

She kiss his lips, "I'm fine with whatever."

"You sure?"

"I'm positive."

Im kinda tired of them just being friends so we're going to speed this up cause we're already far in the book so let's go
