“See, this is crossing lines.” I huffed out feeling myself getting madder the more he refused to give me my phone back. Why the hell was Mylo making this so damn difficult? There was nothing wrong with what I was saying. Could I chill out on the attitude sure, that wasn’t a problem. However, I wasn’t backing down from us not being friends.
“Say that shit to me again. Cause I ain’t crossed no fuckin’ boundaries but I can show you what a crossed boundaries is,” Marlo said as he squared his shoulder and collapsed his hands together in front of himself. “Idareyou.” His eyes said he was challenging me. He really wanted me to repeat myself. “You been big and bad Solana. Gon’ head,” He taunted me as his eyes menacingly roamed my face.
Then his heated gaze slowly dropped down, taking my full body in. My thigh length brown, collard, short sleeved, button down dress, with a tie that wrapped around my waist into a bow. I went heelless today and wore gold strappy sandals and gold accessories to finish off my outfit. This dress was nothing special, I’ve had it for years. But the way Marlo was looking at me I felt like I was standing in front of him in a thong.
“Alright you win Marlo, I’ll be nice or whatever it is that you want me to be.” I wasn’t going to be the one to test the waters. I had no clue what Marlo was gonna do if I tried him.
“Nah, I don’t believe you.” He said, bringing his hand to stroke his bread as if he was thinking. “Give me a hug,” He said with a playful grin and stretching his arms out for me to hug.
“Can I have my phone back if I hug you?”
“Yeah,”
I pretended I didn’t want to hug him as I walked into his arms, wrapping my arms under his. Marlo engulfed me in his embrace, and I regretted hugging him because I didn’t want him to let me go. I felt safe in his arms and my body was reacting to being so close to a fine ass nigga like Marlo. I wasn’t ready, I clenched my legs as my pussy tingled the tighter he squeezed me. For a moment in time, I didn’t want him to let me go. He was holding me like he didn’t want to let me go.
Beep. Beep. Beep.
The sounds of the bus blowing the horn startled us making me pull back from him. Nervously I looked into his eyes and there was that look in his eyes again and it scared me.
“Uh, I gotta get Sunshyne. But is it okay if I leave early one more time? I promised Sunshyne we could have a girl’s day. Watch a bunch of movies and do other girly stuff together.”’
“Yeah, that’s cool.”
I didn’t have it in me to say bye to Marlo; I darted out the door to Sunshyne’s school bus. Still burning hot from that hug. If this wasn’t a sign I had to stay away from Marlo I don’t know what else would be. His fine ass was too much of a temptation for me. But damn if a girl can’t dream.

That Same Night.
“Hold on!” I yelled ambling towards the front of my skoolie to open the door for whoever insisted on interrupting our girls' night.
We were just about to make milkshakes with food coloring in them. Sunshyne loved to make milk shakes; she swore the colors made the vanilla ice cream taste different. After the milk shakes we were going to paint our nails and then binge watch princess movies until we fell asleep.
“Hiii Ms. Lana,” Mason and Mallory yelled at the same time when I opened the door to my skoolie. I was confused seeing their faces at first then I looked at Marlo behind them with a sneaky grin holding three pizza boxes.
“Daddy said you invited us for a girls’ night so we can play with Sunshyne.” Mason snitched on Marlo and I gave him a look of death.
“Heyyy girls, what a surprise,” I calmly said, stepping to the side to allow the girls to run past me. Blocking Marlo’s path, I squinted my eyes at him to show my annoyance with him.
“You aren’t slick.” I gritted out through clenched teeth.
I wasn’t even mad about them being here. I really didn’t mind. If I was honest, Sunshyne needed more friends around her age. I just wished Marlo would drop his girls off and leave. His presence was going to knock me off my square. My skoolie wasn’t big enough for both of us.
“Mooom! my fwends are here!” Sunshyne happily yelled from behind me. Mallory, Mason, and Sunshyne had gotten close over the last couple of months. Especially Mallory and Sunshyne since they were in the same class together. Mason wasmy little helper since she was a little older. Both girls were really well behaved, and I never minded when they were around.
Marlo had the biggest eat ass grin on his face as he asked. “So can I come in?”
Giving him one last dirty look, I turned on my heels ready to get this night over with.
“Alright girls,” I put a big smile on my face as I made my way over to the girls. “Who wants to make milkshakes!”
“Me!”
“Me!”
“Me!”
All three girls yelled excitedly as they jumped up and down as they waved their arms in the air.
