Age Is Just A Number

Age Is Just a Number 2

Desiree POV

"So I can tell that the past two weeks has been going good for you and Kaleem." I asked Jazmine as we watched tv in her room. She was sitting there on her phone probably texting him right now. "Jazzy!"

"Huh?" She looked up.

"I said something to you."

"What did you say?"

"Never mind." I sighed.

"Hey, at the end of summer my mom is having her party. In like three weeks."

"Really?" I asked with excitement. Jazzy's mom had the livest parties. She usually rents out a mansion to keep it in, she had a live dj, the best food, and the best part were the dances. I was amazing.

"Yup. And she asked me to ask you if you want to do a little dance for it."

"Hell yeah!!" I said.

"Alright! We gonna be the sexiest girls their! You know what we should do, that KES song. Ummm Precision Wine. Thats a hot song."

"I know. Im down for that." I said. Jazzy's phone started ring and she took the call in her walk in closet. I could hear her a little bit. I could tell that she was talking to Kaleem again. Man, that night was unexpected. The fact that I actually spoke to one of them. Trey. He was pretty hot. With his snapback, and his jawline. And the fact that he kissed my hand? Woah! Ive seen him quite a bit during the weeks Jazzy and Kaleem started hanging out. Trey and I soon became friends. But friends only. We texted but not that much. We did talk when we saw each other but nothing big. But the funny thing was that I was starting to have a little crush on him. It surprised me. Soon, Jazzy came out her closet.

"Kay, Im bored. Lets go out."

"Alright." I got up and got dressed since I was wearing just an oversized t-shirt. I got on my black cropped skinny jeans and my camouflage see thru flowy top. Of course I wore my black bandeau underneath. I got on my Camo Toms and quickly did my hair in a simple ponytail. Jazzy was finished. Dressed in her red and white romper with her red Toms. Soon we were ready to go. We applied a little lip gloss and mascara and headed out her room. We said bye to her dad who was watching the basketball game and headed to her car. We got in and she drove off. "So where are we going?"

"A carnival just opened up so we can head there."

"Yay! Alright!"Jazzy laughed too. About twenty minutes later, we arrived at the fair grounds. She parked the car and we got out. We walked up to the entrance and I stopped.

"Whats wrong?"

"Why are they here?" I asked. I saw Trey and Kaleem waiting by the entrance.

"Did I mention they were the ones who asked me to bring you here?" She asked.

"No! You didn't f*****g mention it! I wanna leave."

"Nope. Come on." She said dragging me. Soon we were in front of them. Jazzy kissed Kaleem's cheek. "Hey."

"Hey pretty lady." Kaleem said. "Hey Desiree." He said to me.

"Hi." I said addressing both Trey and Kaleem. Trey smiled at me.

"You gonna walk with me." Trey said moving beside me. I laughed and we all walked into the carnival. We played some games, and went on a couple rides then got something to eat. We found a place to sit. "So Desiree, tell me about yourself."

"Umm, Im seventeen, a senior in high school, planning on becoming a triple threat in the real world, ummm I like to have fun, I like parties, and Im Trinidadian"

"I knew you weren't from the city. You have an accent."

"I haven't lost it as yet." I said laughing.

"Its cute. I like it." He said. I smiled and looked away for a bit. "Why are you so shy?" He asked me. I shrugged my shoulders. "Come on. Talk to me."

"I just am."

"Are you shy around all guy? Or just me and my boys."

"You and your friends." I said. He looked over my shoulder and got up.

"Lets go talk somewhere else and leave these two alone." He said. I looked at him then looked behind me to see Jazzy and Kaleem making out. Trey held his hand out to me. I took it and we walked away. "So tell me, why are you so shy around me and my boys?"

"Cause, Im kinda scared of guys your type." I said. He laughed

"What's my type."

"The bad boy type. You know. Drugs, fights. That stuff." I said honestly. We stopped by an empty field. We sat down on the bench.

"Are you shy or scared of me?" He asked. I wasn't scared of him. I was just shy around him.

"Umm shy." I half whispered.

"You know, most girls who are shy around a guy, always have a crush on them." He said. I looked away. "Do you like me?" I didn't answer him. I just smiled cause I did like him. He came closer to me and placed his arm behind me on the bench. "Come on, tell me. Do you have a crush on me?" He said. I still didn't answer. "Rey." He whispered. No one but my aunt or Jazzy called me that. And when he said it, I swear it was the sexiest thing Ive ever heard. "Do you like me?"

"Yes." I whispered back. He turned me to face him. Boy, was he sexy. His smile was perfect, his eyes were just gorgeous. Everything about him was just f*****g perfect.

"You do huh? Well, you're in luck. Cause I like you." He said. What? He liked me? No. No way.

"Really?" I asked. I had to ask.

"Yup. So tell me about your love life."

"Don't have one."

"What do you mean."

"Never had anyone to have a love life with." I admitted. "Never had a boyfriend."

"You are lying to me. A girl as pretty as you, never had a boyfriend?" I shook my head. "Well then." I looked at him. He came close to my ear. "Why don't I be your first." I looked at him.

"What?"

"Let me the first."

"Are you asking me to be your-"

"Mmhmm. So what do you say?"

"I don't know. Ive never-"

"I know. So trust me. I wont ever hurt you. Ill always be there for you no matter what." Wow. He wanted me to be his girlfriend? Damn. Maybe I should go for it.

"Okay. I will."

"You will what ma?"

"Ill be your girlfriend." I said with a smile. He smiled and kissed my cheek.

"Promise, Ill be everything you ever wanted." He said. I didn't know what I want. I guess Ill just take what he gives me.

********

I cannot believe that Im actually enjoying this. Trey was the sweetest guy ever. We've been hanging out almost everyday now and Ive been less scared of his friends.

We were all sitting on the staircase in front my building. Devin was high as a kite making all of us laugh. I was enjoying myself.

"Hey, you guys wanna come to a party?" Jazzy asked. The boys all looked at each other. "There will be plenty of girls for you guys." She said. .

"Im in." Carter said.

"Cool with me." Junior said.

"Sexy girls?" Keon asked.

"Yup." I said.

"Im going." He said.

"Same here." Blaine said. Devin was too high to know what was going on. It was hilarious.

"Are you going to come?" I asked Trey.

"Tell me why I should come."

"Cause if you come, you'll get a surprise."

"What kind of surprise?"

"You'll see if you come."

"Alright. Ill come baby." I smiled and hugged him. "Come with me. I gotta get something from my apartment."

"Okay." We both got up and headed inside. We got into the elevator, went up to his floor. We walked down the hallway and to his door. He opened it and we walked inside. He grabbed my hand and walked me into his bedroom. He sat me on his bed and looked at me. "What?" He smiled and sat down beside me.

"How is my baby girl today?" He asked wrapping his arm around me. I laughed.

"Im good. And how are you?"

"Im good too." He said. "Imma take you out tomorrow night okay?"

"Really? Like on a date?" I heard of dates and Ive read about them too. But Ive never ever been on one.

"Yeah. And I want you to dress real nice okay? Eight o'clock."

"Okay. I will." I said. I swear I was blushing. He kissed my cheek and pulled me closer to him. I rested my head on his shoulders.

"Are you tired?" I nodded. "Sleep baby." I laid down on his bed. "Ill be right back." He said. I nodded and snuggled into the sheets. I was actually so tired. I slowly closed my eyes and drifted off to sleep.
