*Later That Tuesday Morning*
"She okay?"
"I mean I guess she okay. She ain't bleedin' . . .
she breathin'."
"Well wewe didn't have to get smart."
"Roc, Jalila y'all need to stop flirtin' Now"
"It's cute and all that wewe care but she fine I promise. Now can we go home?"
"She's right I'm perfectly fine." I alisema sitting up quickly shading my eyes from the sun's glare.
"Then why wewe sittin' up slowly?" Asked Princeton
"Cause my back hurts." I replied icily
"So wewe ain't so fine after all."
"Whateve'. 'Lila we gonna go nyumbani au what?"
"Or what. We stayin' here for the rest of the afternoon they invited us to watch a movie with them. Jamal comin' too." She looked me up and down, "You the one who got us into this."
"Okay sure I'll get Jamal." And before anyone could protest I zipped straight out the door. It wasn't a very far walk to her house ,she live inayofuata door but I lived across the mitaani, mtaa from her, but it felt like forever. I took my time getting to her house. Pickin' maua, ua watching cars pass and when I got to the door I stood there just waiting thinkin'.
"What wewe expectin' the door to open itself?" Jamal teased
"Na . . . hujambo wewe sister what wewe to come jiunge us over the neighbor,s house ,they boys."
"And wewe let my sis alone . . .in a house . . . filled with boys . . .you gotta be kidding me." Not even looking at at me, he closed the door and stood there.
"What!"
"Where they house at ?!?!"
"Next door." I alisema trying not to sound stupid but failing anyway.
"Let's got then." Jamal snapped and turned and began to walk away.
"Dang what took y'all so long?" Jalila asked
"This chick." Jamal alisema pointing at me.
"Shut up and sit down." I commanded.
"On a happier not what movie wewe wanna watch?" Princeton asked then I began to fall asleep.
"Ummm tour Marafiki are getting ready ready to go nyumbani wewe wanna go nyumbani au are wewe okay with sleepin' on me" I sat up so quick wewe couldn't even measure my speed.
"Thanks for wakin' her up. It's amazing how she didn't wake up earlier. She a light sleeper wewe know."
"It's cool." Princeton mused.
"Let's go 'Lyah. wewe Mamma will have a fit if wewe come nyumbani later then 10 pm on a week night. Especially since we with boys let's go." Now I knew this was a doggone lie I could stay out 'till 11 pm and 12 am on the weekends. She just wanted to talk about them. Still a little bit embarrassed from laying on Princeton's arm I uttered,
" See wewe guys later." And followed 'Lila out the house.
"She okay?"
"I mean I guess she okay. She ain't bleedin' . . .
she breathin'."
"Well wewe didn't have to get smart."
