Chapter two

Ken's POV

This is the 16th time, my phone's been ringing today.

My girlfriend Mary, just doesn't know when she's being avoided. Yeah, I'm actually in a relationship but since I saw laura yesterday, I so don't want anything to do with Mary no more. I was gonna break up with her, but not now, wanna be sure I've got Laura all to myself first.

The phone rings again, I picked up this time.

"What!!!?"

"Hey babe, what's up you ain't taking your calls?"She asked

"Why are you calling?"

"That's no way to talk to your girlfriend,"she replied.

"That doesn't answer my question, Speak up or I'll hang up?" I know I was being rude, but right now, they was only one person I wanted to talk to,,, and its definitely not my soon to be ex bitch Mary.

"I miss you baby, that's why I called." she said. Liar...

"Well if that's all, bye".... and I hung up.

It was already 9:am, past the usual time I wake up, but today i was just feeling lazy to get out of bed. I got up, brushed my teeth, had my bath and changed into simple house wear. Just blue jeans and a white tee.

Went over to the dining area, and my breakfast was all ready for me. Who's the best? MAMA!!!.... just love my Mum's food so much.

I was almost done with my food, when she came over.

"Good morning Mum"

"Good morning baby,"mum said.

"How was your night?"

"Was OK, yours? I asked"

"Very well, thank you."

Mum was now going through this morning magazine,,, I really want Laura's number, don't know if Mum's gonna have it.

"Mum"

"Yes dear"...."Do you have Laura's number?"

"Yes I do, why?" I now had her full attention, she was looking right into my soul.

"Do you mind giving it to me?"

"Of course I mind!!!," she said"if you want her number, be a man and go ask for it. And besides, she'll be here any moment from now, she could make do with your company, that's if you don't mind?"

Laura's gonna be here? OMG,,, I don't even look presentable

"Of course I don't mind, but just to know, why's Laura coming here?"

"Her parents are out, and her brothers have gone back to thier Jobs, she's gonna be lonely at home, and that's why her Mum said she should stay with us for today." Mum said

This is gonna be fun, I'll have her all to myself today, may probably show her how I feel about her, because I don't think she's really gonna understand if I tell her.

"Ok Mum, let me just go dress up." I got up, and headed towards my room and then came a knock on the door...

"Kenny, get the door" ... Oh nooooo

Laura's POV

My Elder Brothers, who are twins Jason and Troy, but I call them dumb &dumber. They left back for work today, they can be a pain in the ass sometimes, but I'll really miss them. My Parents, went to visits a colleague of my Dad, who met an accident, leaving me all alone which is the reason I'm standing on Aunt Jessie's property now.

I'll See him,, I'll see him, I feel so excited but also very nervous, gosh what are these feelings... Finally, I knocked on the door.

I waited for a minute, and was about knocking again, when Ken opened the door. he's so fine!!!..... Didn't know I was staring for too long till he chuckled,,, I looked at him, embarrassed I dropped my head.

He used a finger to raise my face, looking into my eyes, he said "there's nothing to be shy about, if I was you, I'll stare at me," he winked.

Uh huh? This man was arrogant

"You know, you should really let people compliment you first,,, you're so full of yourself ." I retorted.

He looked at me surprised, then said"I never knew you could really talk back, but we shouldn't argue known facts now, should we Laurie?"

"Ummm... Won't you let me in?"

"Oh my bad!, I was just carried away, please come in." He opened the door wider, for me to step in.

"Thank you Ken, for letting me stay here." I said. You don't get to thank me Laurie, feel at home.

Just in time, Aunt Jessie stepped out all dressed up.

"Hey Laurie my darling, how're you?"

"I'm very well, how are you ma'am?"

"I am fine, thank you." She said "I'll be stepping out for a while, Ken do take care of Laurie",,,,, "see you you kids when I'm back"and with that said, she left.

"Have a seat Laurie ",,, Ken said

"Thanks"..... I replied.

"So tell me about you."

"What you wanna know about me, " I enquired.

"I wanna know everything about you. " Ken said looking at me like I was the Moses's carved serpent and his life depended on me.

Lawd.... I was feeling so uncomfortable

"I'm Laura, 16yrs old, graduated highschool last month.... There's nothing really interesting about me, you'll get bored, let talk about you," I suggested, getting uncomfortable with talking about myself. He can't know I'm more weirder than he already thinks.

"No Cherie, we ain't done with you yet.

Do you have a boyfriend? "

"No I don't. " I said.

Good, he smiled... Oh, that dentition, and his teeth were so white.

"Why Good?" I asked, slightly confused. If I had a boyfriend or not, he wasn't supposed to judge my decisions,,, I so don't answer to him.

"Because I like you, and your boyfriend would have been a problem. "

"And what do you mean by that?" I asked, clearly confused. "Care to trow more light?"

Soon Cherie, soon... He said still giving me those creepy stares.

"So what about you?"

"What about me," he asked?

"Do you have a girlfriend?"

He was hesitant but said no. "I ain't got no girl in my life right now."

"Ok, tell me about you, your school, your Dad,..... Heard he's white? I never got to see him."

"Yeah,,,,, Dad and Mum divorced when I was five, Mum brought me back to Africa with her, then I went back to the states at seven years old till just 2months ago, I got back here again. My Dad remarried the bitch he cheated on my Mum with. I love my Dad, but he's an asshole... He said."

That was huge, I didn't even know what to say, so I kept quiet. Should we see a movie?" I asked.

"If that's what you want, then let's do that," he stood, grabbed my hand and lead me up the stairs.

We entered a bedroom, Blue was the Color of the Walls, to the Curtains and the bedsheets. He's favorite color should be blue, I thought.

I searched around for a seat, there was a lone sofa, at the far end of the room, I went over and sat.

Ken the Creep, just stood there watching my every move like a predator watches its prey.

This guy is weird

After few minutes of awkward staring, he came over and sat too close for my own comfort. I moved away a little, and the motherfucker shifted closer. this kept repeating itself for a minute. Feeling so frustrated, I asked harshly, "what?"

"Have you ever been kissed?" he asked

Really, where's he going with this?

"No, I haven't, why?"

"I want to kiss you..." and without waiting for my answer, he crashed his lips on mine. For seconds, I couldn't think, all I could feel, was the weirdness in my stomach, and the beating of my heart. Then I thought,

My first kiss

He stole my first kiss, I've dreamt about and this wasn't how I planned on getting my first kiss. But who cares, its happening, and I better enjoy it because it probably may be the last with him....

Pushing every thought aside, I kissed him back with equal fervor,,,,, I'll live to remember this day, with hopes not regret.
