Gabby Has a Boyfriend (Gabby)
I was doing my edges with my Style Factory Booster when the doorbell rang. Hoping it was Daniel, I rush through the house and flung the door open. Instead, I see my grandpa standing there looking at my grandmother lovingly. "Gabby", mema squealed embracing me in a tight hug. My grandpa shakes his head and smiles. "How are you sweetheart", he says as I hug them both. " I'm doing good papa just getting ready for school", I say checking the time. "Where is your car?", my papa asks. " I had a flat tire last night, dad is getting it this evening", I semi scream as I run back through the house to unplug my wand and grab my bag and phone. I see Daniel text me as I swipe my Calm Chaos lipgloss across my lips. "Do you need a ride baby, we don't mind", my grandma says as I tied my shoe. "Oh no mema my friend Daniel is coming to scoop me up", I said smiling because I was hella excited to see him. Like really really really fucking excited. I needed to chill the fuck out, like immediately. Running my hands down my clothes I look back at my mema when the doorbell rang. "Go ahead and gather your things I'll get the door", she says with a knowing smile. I look around because I have everything, clearly, she sees me with everything, she was trying to give me a minute to get my shit together. Thanks, Grandma! "Hello ma'am , my name is Daniel I'm here to pick up Gabriella", I hear him say respectfully. I smile to myself because I fuck with him so hard. He is sexy, smart, funny, respectful, did I mention he was sexy! As I silently lost my shit I hear my grandpa say, "Gabby your friend is here. Ernest Boon nice to meet you". I swing my bag over my shoulder and turn the corner to see my grandpa and Daniel shaking hands. I didn't miss him sizing Daniel up either. Rolling my eyes I walk over to Daniel and kiss his cheek. "Hey boo", I said looking him over. Daniel laughs and pulls me in for a hug. " Ok papa I'm off to school, see you and mema later", I say. " OK sweetheart you have a great day at school and young man… nice car", my grandpa says smiling while looking at Daniel and me holding hands. Once we're at the car Daniel takes my bag from me and takes a step back and just stares. "I'm snatched I know", I say posing by the car fucking around. Daniel chuckles. " See something you like", I said looking down at the black leggings and Lilo and stitch crop top with matching chucks that I was wearing. "I do", he says opening the door for me. I slipped into the car and open the mirror to check my face for the hundredth time before Daniel closed his door and started it. Daniel looked well-rested and relaxed in his Nike sweats and v neck white tee. Instead of boots he also opted for chucks. " So were your people big mad when you got home last night?" I asked, still trying to pinpoint what kind of cologne he used. Daniel shakes his head. "No one was even awake when I got there", He says resting his free hand on mine. "Good because I don't want you in trouble because of me", I say relieved he was in the clear. I watched him as we crossed the Aurora Bridge. Sometimes he got quiet almost pensive and that was becoming my favorite time to observe him. He was calm and together but just underneath all that was a little danger and I was wanted to know why.
When we pulled into the student parking lot we immediately take out our schedules. "Well looks like I have calculus', '' Daniel says. Well Damn! " I have gym, yay!", I say sarcastically. Daniel laughs at me. "That shit ain't funny. I hate gym and first thing in the morning too", I said pouting. " I'm here all day today", he said smoothly cupping my face. "Ight", I say upset. I slip out of the car and wait for Daniel to pop the trunk so I can get my bag. Daniel gets out and pulls me into a hug. I wrap my arms around his midsection and buried my face in his chest. Daniel places a kiss, on the top of my head, pops the trunk. When we look towards the school we see Stacie headed our way. " Damn that was fast", Stacie says when she is in hand reach of us. Daniel and I look at one another. "What are you talking about Stace?", I ask. " Umm, there's a rumor going around that somebody saw you at Homegrown together now you show up to school holding hands", she said motioning to our hands like she Watson and fucking crack the code. "What", I said like WTF! " So yall with each other or naw cuz yall was over here looking like you was bout to start fucking", Stacie says examining her nails. Daniel laughs at this while I shake my head at my friend. " We just friends Stace damn", I say casting her a wtf look. " Umm-hmm that's why he was just looking at your booty", she says pointing at Daniel. I turned and faux clutched my pearls and punch him in the arm." Ow", Daniel yelps holding his arm smirking at me. Stacie laughs. You two are adorable don't yall just date?", Stacie asks. Ignoring my nosy ass friend I walk to my locker Daniel in tow. "Ok sweets I have to hit the gym. I'll see you in history next period", I say and just to give these nosy bitches something to talk about I kiss his lips not giving a fuck who saw. As soon as my lips touched his, Daniels's hands tighten around my waist drawing me in. Stacie groans somewhere behind me. "Now tell me where he your friend at cuz I know friends sis and that ain't it. He looks like he wants to eat you. Give me all the deets chica", Stacie giggles as we walk into the gym. D.J. and a couple of other football players walk out of the locker room, including Chris Stacie's crush. "Whats good Gabby, Stacie", Ty says as he throws his arm over Stacie's shoulder making her roll her eyes. " Hey Ty", taking in my surroundings. "What yall doing", Stacie asks pitching the corner of Ty's sleeve to remove his arm. " Oh, you know just getting ready for our scrimmage Friday and then Kayla's party Saturday", he says trying to finesse his way back on Stacie but she sent him the "I'll fuck you up" look and he stopped. Ty was D.J.'s best friend and just as fucking creepy. " So what's up with you and that chink", DJ asks smirking at Ty. Did this bitch just call my bae a chink? I tolerate a lot of shit but not that racist shit. " I heard in the streets that he met you, people, the other night, yall going on dates and shit", he continues. See that's what the fuck I'm talking about! How this bitch know anything about my whereabouts outside of school? That shit is just creepy as fuck like I'll catch him peeping through my windows and shit. I turn and look at DJ with as much disgust as I could muster. " I'm assuming you're talking about Daniel. He's my friend that's what's going on you fucking idiot. The next time you want to call somebody a racist ass name at least know what race they are asshole! He is Japanese not Chinese motherfucker so miss us with that bullshit", I spat fuming. " Oh and by the way DJ I don't like you, never like you, and have never understood your attraction to me when I pay you no mind. Don't hate on Daniel because I like him. He has nothing to do with my dislike of you, that's all you", I say leaving his dusty ass in the middle of the gym. "He needs to check his pants to see if he just kibbles and bits now after that ass-chewing", Stacie says snickering. The other girls in the locker room laughed as we changed into our gym uniforms. "Can you believe that shit though in 2022? I mean for him to call him that would be like if someone called me a nigger. I will never let any of them disrespect Daniel like that!", I say snatching my gym shorts up my leg. " I don't know why he would say it though", Stacy says as we walk out of the locker room. " Hey, Gabby I'm sorry for that shit DJ pulled. I think he let jealousy get the best of him", he says pleadingly. " That's no excuse for that shit and he can keep his opinions to himself because who I fuck with ain't his business anyway", I say more pissed off. "I just hope he leaves that shit at home at Kayla's Saturday. Yall coming to the party?'', Ty continues. " Hell yeah we coming Saturday", Stacie says casting me the "bitch you going right?" look. I figured this was the best time as any to let her know. "Daniel and I will be there I asked him yesterday and he was down", I say determined to have a good time regardless of anyone's bullshit. " This is going to be so lit", Stacies smiles full throttle. I shake my head as I walk toward the track to run the mile.
I was about to walk into Mr. Wilkes's history class when I felt a chest press against my back. " I missed you", Daniel whispered into my ear doing all kinds of things to me while hugging me. I watch as people pass me and the class fills up all the while Daniels's hand was doing its perusal under my shirt. When his hand came into contact with my bare stomach was when I stepped out of his reach damn near panting. "You can't just roll up on me like that. I almost tossed your ass", I said fanning myself to cool down. " What are you doing after school?", Daniel says pulling me back into him while quietly laughing at my outburst. I run my nails down his neck and watch him close his eyes and breath in. " I have cheer practice today", I say a whole lot more breathy than I meant to. "Can I watch?", he asks making my mind go straight into the gutter. "Anytime", I say winking as I watch Daniel Cheshire grin. I walked into class just as the bell rang. I see Daniel adjust himself in the hall and make his way in sitting right behind me.
"OK class today we will be working on mock elections", Mr.Wilkes says. The rest of the class went well and at the end of the day Daniel met me at my locker." I don't know how I feel about these shorts", Daniels says pulling at the hem of them. I had changed into a shirt and black softee shorts. " You didn't seem to mind them last night", I said rolling my eyes. " I like the sound of that", Daniel smirks. "Boy come on", I said shaking my head all the way to the gym. When Daniel walks in with me I see all the girls staring with a level of thirst you wouldn't believe. "Gab, we can't have boyfriends at practice remember", Julie the captain says batting her fake ass lashes at Daniel who smirked and winked at her. WTF! Jealousy swelled in my chest and I squeeze Daniel's hand to suppress it. " He's not my boyfriend", I said and as soon as the words left my mouth I regretted them. Julie's smile grew three times as big, you know, kind like the grinch's heart. " Oh ok well then that's ok then", Julie says checking Daniel out shamelessly now. I looked at Daniel and said with my eyes "wtf was that". Daniel walks over to the bleachers while I get into formation. We went through a few routines for Friday night's game and after about an hour someone turned on the radio. Pep Rally by Missy Elliot comes on and I start dancing. I feel Daniel come up behind me moving with the beat when out of nowhere Julie is beside him trying to grind on him. At this point, I have seen enough and walk over to the radio and snatch out the cord. "Practice is over", I yell throwing the cord down dragging a laughing Daniel by his hand out of the gym. Daniel looks at me out the corner of his eye as we walk to his camero. " You were jealous. You never have to be", he says. I turn and wrap my arms around his neck and kiss him hard and in the back of my mind, I think I'm trying to claim him. "No shit", I said as I slipped into the car knowing I failed miserably to hide my feelings.
