when I sit next to Angie I’m greeted with smiles and questions from Rosie

“Is Angie staying with us now?” she asks in a hopeful voice

“Yes Rosie”

“How long Dev?”

 “However long she wants to stay”

“Where will she sleep? She can share Anisa bed”

“She’s going to sleep in my room Rosie now eat your food”

“Are you guys dating?” Rosie ask Angie

“Married!!??”Squeals Anisa and all Angie and I can do is sit there and stare at the girls.

“No we’re just friends” Angie says in a soft voice she collects every ones finished plates and goes to the kitchen to wash them while I get the girls and myself ready for bed and school in the morning but I don’t think I’m going. When the girls are in bed I head t my room and make myself comfortable in my bed Angie strolls in and face plants onto the bed her small frame lightly bounces the t-shirt she’s wearing reveals another tattoo on her left shoulder.

               “How many tattoos do you have?” I ask her having the urge to trace every single one of her tattoos

               “5” she says her voice muffled from her head still in the mattress

               “Plan on getting anymore?”

               “Eventually” We fall back into a silence she stands up and goes through her bags and pulls out a giant shirt she takes off her shorts and shirt and tosses the shirt on over her head I have never watched someone as closely as I watched her she moved from her spot and climbed underneath the covers on her side of the bed dear Jesus please make sure my twin below doesn’t attack her having her this close with very little fabric is extremely tempting I start to relax but then I feel a small frame next to mine I look down at her and see those gorgeous brown eyes staring back at me intently I pull her closer so now we are chest to chest I play with a strand of her long hair I can feel her body relax and her arms close around me I feel like I was meant to protect this fragile and innocent girl but yet she’s so strong and independent and at this very moment I will make a promise to myself that I will protect her like I would one of my sisters.

               I wake up from the most peaceful sleep I have had In a while I feel around for the small warm body my body aches for but I am disappointed that’s when I jump up and look at the clock 10:45 Oh Shit the girls I throw on a pair of shorts and dash to go wake them up but I get the frightening sight that the girls are gone oh god and Angie I run to the living room where I see Angie walk through the front door and set down her bag and some coffee.

“Angie where are the girls!!” I almost scream in her face

“I took them to school.”

“WITHOUT TELLING ME OR WAKING ME UP”I Say way to close to her face she flinches away from me as if she’s preparing for a blow but she realizes it never comes and I feel terrible because now I’ve made her rehash the past

“I’m sorry” she whispers so soft I couldn’t even tell if she actually said them “I just didn’t want to wake you cause you were sleeping so I made breakfast and took them to school for you I left you a note on the counter but I guess you never noticed it” she says her voice barely above a whisper while picking up a small piece of paper and handing it to me she looks at the floor and heads to the room I hear the door softly click shut and I bang my head on the counter just fucking great Dev!

 

ANGIE P.O.V

 

I’ve been yelled at before but the way Dev did it struck a chord I didn’t want to ever be played again I have never felt so useless I should have woke him up before we left I grab all my clothes for the day since I didn’t shower earlier move quietly into the bathroom to shower as I climb in I let the warm water wash all the bad memories clogging my memory knowing that they will haunt me in my dreams for the next couple of days the water starts to get cold I quickly wash my hair and decide to let it air dry so it will fall into its natural curl I see Dev in the living room watching T.V he looks deep in thought so I put aside my cold feelings for him at the moment and slide onto his lap one thing about Dev he’s so warm and comfortable and when he holds you. You fit perfectly with his body like a complete puzzle so while I sat on his lap he sits back on the couch and we’re watching T.V I was starting to get interested when I heard a knock at the door so I lazily go to answer it I start to quicken my pace as the knocking became pounding I look through the pea hole and see a girl she looks kind of familiar I open the door and she bust through.

“THE FUCK YOU DOING HERE?” She says when she sees it was me who opened the door Dev starts toward the door but I’m already to swing if needed

“I live here who the fuck are you?”

“So you wanna act as if you don’t know who I am DEV tell her to get out of OUR house.” She has now stood by Dev and grabbed his hand which he quickly pulls away

“Tina what are you doing here?” Dev says and you can tell he’s pissed

 

DEV P.O.V

 

You know when you have that one pesky ex that just can’t seem to get the hint and move on I’ve had a couple in my past but Tina is a straight up stalker. The thing is she barely wanted me when we dated now she just crazy and the fact that she claims to live here is scary

“What do you mean what am I doing here I live here. Question is who this bitch is so you got extra hoes around huh?”

“Um excuse me crazy chick yea umm ima need you to leave” Angie said taking the attention from me to her bad move baby girl bad move

“EXSCUSE ME as you can see me and my man are having a conversation as a matter of fact bitch leave.” Trina says pointing to the door

“If I’m not mistaken you’re the one standing in the hallway” Angie replies and closes the door but Trina foot gets in the way.

“I don’t think so bitch that’s my man mine and I don’t appreciate your I’m so hood because I have weak ass tattoos and a fucked up hairline thinking you can show up and take my man so take yo wanna be Billy badass back to the group home” Trina says pushing the door open and standing so she was completely in Angie face I really don’t think that this is going to end well in any way
