Love, Powerful but Dangerous by Cici Bay (books successful people read txt) 📕

"So, what you wanna' do now?" Alexis asked, shiverring violently in the cold winter air.
"I don't know, how bout' you?" Shrugging in response, Alexis starts to stagger behind with Jennifer. "Wanna' go walk on Frankford Ave?" I asked. "Ard sure. We out!" I giggle at Alexis' response and start up the block towards the ave. Alexis and Jennifer seem to get used to the cold wheather and start to walk beside me like normal.
We pass a couple of old friends, but continue on our walk. As the three of us talked and joked about random things, we notice our friend Tamiya and a guy who I thought was maybe her brother or cousin. They looked just alike in my eyes.
"Hey!, what's up KiKi! Oh my God i miss you so much.Where ya'll goin'?" "What's up Miya! Missed you too girl! We just chillin' gonna' go walk around the block and stuff.Where yall goin'?" Looking up and down at the mysterious guy that stood next to Tamiya, he was looking at me too. I look away shyly,not sure in knowing what to say. "Hi" I said in my nice and sweet voice, "'Sup" he said with a small grin. I couldn't see his full face, becasue of the hood he had on his head. He looked the same skin tone as mine when we weren't in any type of bright light i guessed. "Well, wanna come with us?" I asked in an offering. "Ard cool!" Tamiya squealed with excitement. We walked for awhile around the neighborhood. It was pretty fun,though. He was mostly quiet the whole time walking the streets. So, being the nice person i am i started a little conversation with him.Just to find out about this mysterious person i happened to actually invite on a boring walk which seemed to go nowhere! I asked him, sweetly. "What's your name?" We happened to pass a street light and when he looked at me to answer i noticed that his skin tone was actually more like a honey complexion. He had a couple of scars on his face that i didn't mind really. His lips were small, he had a little faded mostache about his upperlip, which made me think that this guy is deffinitely not my age. "Michael, but call me Mike. What's yours?" "Kiara" With a little cute smile to make me seem innocent, it always worked for me some how. Still wondering about this guy's...well, Mike's age i just got the courage to ask him. I didnt understand why i felt so shy around him, i mean he's an average boy that I've probably already seen before,he can't be any different than the rest.Well, he hasn't treid to flirt with me yet anyways, which is a risk that a lot of boys have taken and some have succeeded.
"So, how old are you" "15, how about you?" "13" Surprised,and a bit shocked " Damn, really?!" I had expected that response though. People tell me i look older than my own age, all i know is that i deffenitely don't see it, and plus it's a good thing. I'm like the girl that boys want to have and show off, and I'm the main girl that all the girls don't like, even though I'm sweet as can be.
Giggling at his response i say, "Yupperz, but it's like every boy that i know is atleast 15 or 16.Everybody is basically older than me." Making my bottom lip poke out as if i was going to cry, i made him chuckle and smile.
We all make it up to Torresdale Ave, which Mike had mentioned to me that he lives around here. I nodded and told him that i live up the block where the Liberty gas station was. He seemed relieved to know that we lived so close, i did too of course but he was full of excitement. I laugh loudly. He laughed with me, he said that he had noticed that i laugh a lot. I acknowledged him that i do laugh a lot, but then again it's sometimes embarrassing becasue i laugh at random things. I'm bubbly like that, some how. He suprised me one moment when he mentioned that he thought my laugh was kind of cute... I looked away shly and said thank you politely while he gleefully said "Your welcome" with a sweet smile that i returned immediately.
I began to become more cold as i noticed how much the temperature had dropped, and that i only was wearing a hoody and skinny jeans that were actually rather thin. Mike noticed that i was shivering i guess and offered me his gloves. "It's alright, i'm okay like this. Keep your gloves though, i don't want you to get cold either." I said hesitating to take the gloves. " But, it hurts me to see you being cold like that." He had a sincere face on, that i some how couldn't stand but i still refused to take the gloves.I can be very stubborn at times. He responded as, "Alright, i'm just gonna' have to warm your hands up like this then." Unaware of wat was happening, he gently gripped my cold hand in his warm soft hand that was wearing a glove. I didn't want to hold his hand, not wanting to make the wrong impression, but i let it slide and I gripped his hand back looking embarrassed and shy. He then released my hand and removed the hood that hid his face. He was cute, even if he had a couple of scars on his face but they looked like they were made from getting hurt while playing sports but none the less it made him look a little hot though. I smiled as i stared him down wondering what he was doing. He had on a gray winter hat on, he took it off and reached it to me. Lost in my thoughts, i didn't even notice at first becasue i was surprised at his good-grade of hair. It was light brown and very curly.I just had the urge to want to run my fingers through his hair, i know that sounds kind of creepy but its the truth. I take the hat but then i remember that i had braids in my hair and i had it in a pony tail. It wouldn't look right if i wore it over my pony tail. He insisted that i wear his hat over my hair but then just put my hood over it so that it wouldn't feel that much uncomfortable of being seen with the hat on my head in that way. So, i took his idea and it turned out fine.
It was around maybe 6 o' clock and i had to be at home by nine. "What time you gotta' be home?" "I go home when i want to" With a serious look. "Stop lyin'" I laughed, and he joined in on the laughter and admitted that he really had to be home by 9 also. "We got a lot of time til' then" i said smiling. "AWWW..... look at you two." Tamiya joked. I laughed at her comment feeling embarrassed i start walking with Tamiya. She said that Alexis and Jennifer had to go. Now, it was just Mike, me, and Tamiya. Tamiya questioned me secretly out of the hearing of Mike, she asked did i kind of like him. I smiled at the question, " I don't know yet, really. He's cool and everything but i don't know yet if i actually like him." "Alrighty..." she responded. I shaked my head at her, for always trying to hook me up with one of her friends.
We bump into Tamiya's, im guessing ex-boyfriend or her boyfriend, Kevin.He claims that they never really went out but she claims that they do so i don't know whose telling the truth. Tamiya and Kevin start walking their own way, leaving Mike and I together, YIKES! I was too afraid to even stay in the same presence as him. Why was I so shy around him though, ? He grabbed my hand again and started walking down the block together. He hugged me from behind and i was kind of shocked, because i was being hugged by him, though. I never really had the thought of him liking me though.
As he put his hands around my stomach, i held onto his arms as we walked in silence. I guess that was his way of making the first move. I wanted to make the next one. So, i turned around quickly which made him jump in surprise and i faced him, with my eyes looking into his. I reached around and took both his arms and put them around my waist.He came closer towards me,letting our chests touch. "If you want to hold me, you have to hold me like this." I said with a smile. He grinned at me back, and tightend his grip around me. I unwrapped his arms from around me and put his hand into mine again. I kept thinking to myself saying "Kiara, you are irresistable, he deffinitely wants you".
It was almost time for us to get home so decided to walk me home. He said he knew a short cut by going through the drive way, and we did just that. Once we got in the dark drive way he came behind me hugging me, which made me get startled. I was deffinitely not expecting that of course, so i screamed. He kissed my cheek softly then let me go. I turned around quickly still confused of what had just happened. I broke out into a laugh when i noticed it was only Mike who was smiling but was biting his lip. I gave him a little sexy look. He made a bigger smile. Walked up to me and slapped my ass extra hard, and knowing it was cold it really hurt and stung my butt. "YOU BUM!" I yelled but still laughing.
After that, we made it to the corner of the Rite Aid. "Will i ever see you agian?" Mike asked with a concerned look in his face. "I'm sure you will." "You got a phone right?" pulling out his phone. "Yea, here's my number...267-593-8201" "I'll call you, okay." He looked with a disappointed face on, i wondered if it was because the day had to end. "Okay, want to chill some time tomorrow?" I asked,wanting to put his hopes up that i was willing to be with him again. "Ard, cool." He now was smiling. "Well, bye" I said waving my fingers at him, but before i left I gave him a warm hug and his gloves, and hat back. " Keep the gloves, i want you to remember me by them". I smiled at his strong words. I made him keep the hat becasue i knew that if my mom seen me wearing it she would flip out on me. He laughed, and we exchanged a hug then i hurried off home. Today was a good...no, Great day!
