The next day my dad finally let me out of the house thanks to Moms 'Persuasive ways' and frankly I don't want to get into it.

I'm lounging by the pool at Leila's house my journal in my lap as I wrote. She wanted Olivia and I to hang out and catch up on old times.

"Staring in the mirror as I
Start to carefully contemplate
Just really how deep is this thing I have for you.
It's wearing on my heart
And from the start you know I tried, steadily denied.
Friendship turn to love
I know you probably think that I'm so strange stuttering
On every word when you look my way, why?
And maybe it's all in my mind
But when we hugged goodbye I had butterflies
I just died."

I glanced up at Leila when she called me.

"What about you Miss Independent?" She asked.

"What about me?" I asked as I placed my pen down.

"You and Jordan, what have you been up to?" She said.

"Well we're  Dating now if that's what you mean. But sometimes I can't stand that boy. He's always saying or doing stupid shit. But he's still my lovable bear." I admitted bringing my legs up to my chest.

"Sounds about Jordan. Trust me He likes you, a lot." Olivia said.

"Oh! What are you writing?" Leila asked as she peered over my shoulder her and Olivia tagged teamed and removed it from my hands.

"Whoa, Sev this is beautiful. Is this for Jordan?" Olivia asked I turned away.

"I don't know I just wrote it, I guess it's in honor of him I guess." I said Lelia took the book and read it.

"Seven my dad is a producer if you can sing thi-" I cut her off.

"No! I can't, its private." I said she nods.

"Understandable if you change your mind I'm a phone call away." She said I nodded.

My family are known for being talented weather in sports or the arts, and being the middle child I picked up on both, I learned how to sing through lessons and Jubliee and sports through Solomon.

"You know you should bring Spencer." Leila said I turned towards her.

"What? He went home already." Olivia said.

"Okay? Drag him back, he does the same thing you do." Leila said I took a sip of the lemonade eyeing the two.

"And besides I know you like him." She said with a smirk.

"No I don't!"Olivia said with a strained laugh.

"I've seen the way you look at him," Leila Started.

"Yeah, kinda like the way you look at him?" I chimed in with a teasing smile causing her to flick and ice cube at me.

"I'm with Asher, you guys know that." She said.

"Look I just want you to be happy again, I think this party will be a good place to start over." She said placing a hand on Olivias shoulder.

Clipping on my earrings listening to jhene Aiko as I got ready for the party
I sang along to her words my playlist paused causing me to groan as the apple ringtone sounded through my speakers.

"What Woman?!" I answered causing the boy across the line to frown in confusion.

"I'm sorry? A Woman?" He asked.

"Yes Jordan a woman. because you're nagging me," I started a small amusing smirk growing on my lips for teasing him.

"Wow, Okay." He stated I can tell that his feelings are slightly hurt I rolled my eyes.

"I'm joking Baby, what happened?" I asked moving over to my bed and sitting down.

"You up for a little investigation?" He asked

"Depends, what for?" I asked.

"Just get your cute butt down to my house." He said before hanging up.

Walking through the door of the Bakers Home I spotted Jordan hovering over his father's Surface pro.

"And what exactly are we doing hovering over your dads desk?" I asked walking up to him.

"Looking at bank statements." He sinply said while going through the mohogany desk.

I placed my hands on my hips.

"You called me over here just to look at bank statements?" I asked

"Yep. Not mine though, Crenshaws Bank statements." He said I gave a confused look.

"Crenshaw?" I asked taking a closer look.

"Yeah turns out My dad has been sending money to Crenshaw for 17 years now." He said

"And you think something is up? J maybe he's just doing an investments or donating to charity." I said sitting in the chair across from the desk crossing my legs.

"I thought that at first but For 17 years? Look, don't flip but I think Spencer is My brother." He said I let out a giggle.

"Dude. Spencer is not your brother." I said with a laugh.

"Sev, It's not funny I honestly think he is." Jordan said.

"J, I'm telling you there's no way Spencer is related to you." I said.

"Yeah? I was at My dads old Barbershop and they told me that my Dad and Spencer's mom used to date heavily." He said I gave him a look.

"J, you're being paranoid. That doesn't mean anything," I started I walked over behind him and placed hands his shoulders rubbing it.

"Please Dont stress yourself about it, everything will come out in Due Time, If your dad wants to let you in on his business, he would have told you. But right now this doesn't concern us." I said.

"Now let's go to the party and live while we're still young and Wrinkle free." I said kissing his temple causing him to smile.

"Okay, let's go." He said grabbing my hand and walking out the door.

——————————————

Walking inside Ashers house Jordan was Dead set on finding Olivia, I decided to help him anyway and I have strong feeling he's she's with Spencer and that Jordan is gonna embarrass the shit out of her.

"Leila hey." I greeted she smiles at me.

"Where's Olivia At?" Jordan asked.

"I believe she's in the jacuzzi." She said I gave Her a confused look while Jordan surveyed the party before walking off.

"Dare Chips?" I asked she nods looking down.

"Hop In Pretty girl!" JJ beams I glanced over to him.

"No thanks, I just bought these and I'm not willing to loose it." I said with a smile looking down and my Louis Vuitton heels before walking off with Jordan towards the back to go find Olivia yelling at jordan.

"Jordan!" I called him he turned around to me.

"She's naked, and you're embarrassing my friend I'll handle it." I said grabbing his arm.

"Fine, Olivia when you're done I'm outside." He said before walking away acting as if he was her dad.

I grabbed the towel and rushed over to Olivia.

"I'm so sorry, your brother is a dick head." I said she thanks me and grabs her towel from my hand wrapping it around her.

"Spence you should hop out now." I suggested Spencer does the same grabbing his shorts and shirt.

I walked out with Olivia shielding her from the embarrassment as people stared.

"If I see a single post about her, I will personally make all of your lives a living hell from your junior year all up Until the day you all perish from this earth."I Threatened Sending chills down spines before walking out the house.

I hopped into the car with Olivia and Jordan the ride was silent as they went to drop me off.

"Well that sucked." I started leaning on my hand.

Olivia didn't budge and Jordans eyes just remained on the road. Wow tough crowd.

"Why did you have to do that?" Olivia asked causing Jordan to roll his eyes.

"What me preventing you from making a big mistake?" He asked rhetorically.

"What are you talking about?" She asked.

"Spencer is our brother." Jordan said.

"You mean 'you think' he's your brother which he's not. I'm telling you now." I said pointedly.

"What?! That's crazy you runied my night over an assumption?!" She yelled they began to bicker causing my to roll my eyes.

"Alright!" I snapped causing them to glance at me.

"If I have to sit in this car for 10 minutes more, I'm going to barrel roll up out of here. It's a peaceful night. Jordan you're driving pay attention to the road, Olivia you can scream and beat the shit out of him at home, but first please drop me off." I said practically begging at the end I placed a hand to my temple it felt as if I was a mother.

They started to mumble causing me to become more irritated.

"Mumble One more thing see if I won't Grab that wheel, pull over and whoop both of your asses." I threatened causing them to shudder.

"You know you would be a scary ass mom right." Jordan started causing me to smirk a bit.

"No, I will simply use the right amount of enforcement, that would lead to cordially elated life." I stared while admiring my nails causing Olivia to let out a small laugh.

A/N: heyyyyyy... it's been a while. I wanted to thank everyone for their patience. I'm slowly starting to push out more chapters of different books. Recently I hit writers block, And I felt so unmotivated to do anything. I was semi depressed for a while after facing disappointment after disappointment. No senior prom, a half ass year book, and a ghetto graduation...my parents changed their minds about allowing me to go away for college, so I had to defer to the school I was committed to. Also I don't think we're going back to school in September. This goes for College and High school. Overall I'm back and I'm going to be posting more chapters from all my books. So look out for that!

Stay safe, stay cool.
