A game of love, brea isomee [have you read this book txt] 📗

was glimmering off her skin . She was beautiful . The look on her face was like she knew something about me that i didn't . The look was actually more than that , it was like . . . . . . i can't quite explain .

" why you looking at me like that shorty?"

" because , i'm just looking . The way your jaw line twitches when your mad , it's , cute ."

I smirked " How you know i'm mad ?"

" I can tell . When i first walked up , your eyes were dark . And cold . They're back to normal now . Is that because of me ?"
I took a deep breath " if i said yeah , you wouldn't believe me . Hell , i wouldn't believe myself ."

She paused " sometimes , it's okay to take risks you know ? Sometimes it's okay to trust some one , give some one a chance . I can't explain it but i feel connected to you in some way and i'm not sure if i should explain it to you or just leave it be . It's crazy because , i still don't even know your name ."

I laughed and she did the same . Her smile was so bright . She changed my whole mood in a matter of minute and i didn't get it . What was so special about her that she could do that to me . I don't even know her . And like she said , she doesn't even know my name . Is it possible to love some one you don't know shit about ?

I was about to tell her my name but a car pulled up along side of us and the guy in the driver's seat called out her name . She looked shocked but told me she had to go . She walked back to the direction her car was in and the guy in the car eyed me rudely . His goal was to intimidate me but he missed his goal by a long shot . I gave him the same look he was giving me . And just like that i'd signed my death wish and didn't even know it .

*Armillio -

I don't know who the cat was that Deaisha was talking to but i pulled up and put a end to that shit . Can't have that . I watched as Deaisha walked back to the car i'd bought her and got in . Then i turned back to the guy and eyed him mysteriously . Who was this dude with his hands in his pockets watching me watch him ? One thing was for sure , the kid had heart but , i'm about to end that right now .

As i pulled off i pulled my phone from out my pocket and called Ceazar " yo ."

" ayy nigga , meet me at 4th and ferbout ave. right now . I got some business we need to handle , asap ."

I didn't wait for him to respond . I just hung up . He'd be here .

I parked on the corner and waited . 5 minutes went by and there he was . He parked behind me and came to sit in my passenger seat " wassup man . What was so urgent ."

" man , i just spotted some nigga walking with yo' sister . They was holding hands and shit . I sent her ass home . And this nigga looking at me like i made some fucked up decision . "

His face changed a little . I could tell he was thinking about his sister getting busy with some nigga he didn't know and that's exactly what i was thinking about . I wanted Deaisha getting busy with me not no other nigga . My feelings were really hurt . I been feeling Deaisha for at least a year or 2 now . It was hard not to say nothing to her but i watched her from a distance . She didn't know it but i checked everything she did . She acted like she liked me but , if that was the case why would she be out here with this nigga ?

Ceazar pulled his gun out his waist band " fuck it , lets go."


*Meisha -

I felt bad , i really did . I lied on Marco to save my own ass . My mother thought of me as her little innocent daughter who could do no wrong and i didn't want to ruin that . I couldn't help it . I loved Marco , always will but . . . I don't know . I can't explain my action and i can't justify them as right either .

My mother entered the apartment all by herself .

"where is Marco ?"

" i don't know . " she sat on the couch next to me " can you believe he tried to lie on you and say it was your fault and all this other bullshit . I was getting sick of all of the lies ."

I just shook my head and kept quiet . What was i supposed to say ? It was too late to back out the lie and i didn't want to lie more either .

BOW BOW BOW !

I ducked and so did my mother .

BOW BOW ! . . . . . BOW !

We layed on the floor , her stroking my hair and me silently crying . I wasn't crying because of the gun shots . I was crying because of who i was . I wasn't proud of myself at all . I'm supposed to be innocent , i'm supposed to be sweet . I questioned myself over and over why that wasn't me . If my mother found out about me , she'd be more than disappointed . She'd be heartbroken .

BOW !

15 minutes later we were still laying on the floor when the phone rang . I reached up to answered it " hello ?"

" may i speak to the mother of Demarco Jones ?"

My heart skipped a beat and my breathing picked up " why ? What's wrong ? Is my brother okay ? "

There was a pause " he's been shot."
*Marco -

"Aaarrghh !"

It felt like my fuckin' leg and arm both were on fire . It was like no feeling i'd ever felt . When i heard the first 3 shots being fired all i could do was run . But i realized i wasn't going anywhere and when i looked down and saw blood gushing from my leg that's when i felt it . I felt a pain rip threw my whole left leg . I was so in shock i barely heard the next 3 shots ring out . That one i felt right away . One of the bullets ripped through my shoulder .

The nurses cowded around me , one nurse said " the first bullet entered and exited his left calf . But the second bullet is lodged in his shoulder . "

Then another nurse spoke " let's get this man to surgery . "

I rolled my eyes " can i get a fuckin' pain killer ? "

And then i blacked out .

______________________

6 hours later i blinked my eyes rapidly . I felt tired as fuck . like , i could barely move my body really . And when i did i got a tingly sensation .

I found a remote on the side of me that controlled the bed . I made the top part of the bed lift up so i could look around the room .

Everybody was sleep . My mom , Meisha , Lisa , Deaisha , Lando , and even punk ass Sean was there with a bandage over his right eye and a busted lip . I laughed to myself , i'd fucked him up . And i was proud of that .

Meisha was the first one to wake up , she jumped out of her chair and rushed over to my bed side " are you okay ?"

I shook my head yeah . I didn't feel like talking to her at all but she was my little sister so i had to get over her lying . I almost blamed her for me getting shot but i stopped myself . It was no ones fault . " yeah , i'm good."

" um , Marco , i'm sorry ."

" sorry ? You sorry ? really ? "

" yes , i am ! I shouldn't have lied ! It was all my fault . If i didn't lie you would have been at home . If i wasn't doing what i was doing then , youwouldn't have even went to jail and -"

" please , just stop . Me getting shot was nobodies fault . And listen , the only way i'm accepting your apology if if you stop doing what you doing man . You going down the wrong path and don't even realize it . So , do me that one favor , De'Meisha."

She smiled " don't use my whole name , DeMarco !"

We laughed . It felt way better not to be mad at Meisha . When she smiled i felt like everything was all better . She was happy , i was happy and it was gonna be okay . At least for the time being .

Lisa and Deaisha woke up almost simultaneously . They both rushed to the right side of my bed .

Deaisha spoke first " baby , are you okay ?"

Lisa gave her a look like 'who-the-fuck-are-you' but she turned her attention back to me " yeah , i was worried about you ."

"i'm fine . Thank ya'll for being here ."

Deaisha kept giving me an apologetic look and i couldn't figure out why exactly . Did she know who . . . ? No , she couldn't know . What the heck am i thinking .

Lisa grabbed my hand " i'm glad you're okay Marco ."

" ooooohhh ," Deaisha smiled " at least i know your name now , finally . I'ts been about 3 weeks , and i've been making stuff up in my head ."

I smiled at her and kept quiet . Her and Lisa kept throwing each other mean looks and shit . I just found it funny . Lisa had never acted like she was acting . She was acting like she was my girl and Deaisha was tryna take her spot . But it wasn't even like that . As i thought about it , i did kind of have a feeling or 2 for Lisa but , i think i covered 'em up because . . . .

" Demarco ! " Lisa snapped me out my thoughts .

" what ?"

" is this your girl ?"

I laughed and looked at Deaisha " hopefully ."

Lisa stormed out the room like i'd said something wrong but all i did was tell her how i felt . I didn't know that it was a bad thing to have feelings for someone . I swung my legs off
