The Love Triangle - Tati S (spanish books to read .txt) 📗

this is my sister Destiny and my brother Michael" he smiles at them "hey, you're cute" Destiny flirts batting her eyelashes he laughs "thank you, and you're a very beautiful young lady" she giggles and blushes I chuckle. "Y'all want something to drink?" Jake shakes his head but Shaq walks right over to the refrigerator taking out a soda "or help yourself" I look at Jake who winks at me and shakes his hair out of his face in this sexy way, I turn my head trying not to look at him. "Well guys I'm going to bed" Michael announces throwing up the peace sign and walking out I hop up "I'm going upstairs" I declare glancing at Destiny "I'm going to watch TV" she smiles one last time at Jake and walks out I shake my head. "So what have ya'll been up to?" I ask going up the curvy staircase "nothing really, went to Jake's house" Shaq says running up to my room ahead of Jake and I. "He knows this place pretty well doesn't he" Jake says walking beside me "yeah, him and Zia act like this is their second home" we finally make it to my room where Shaq already had his shoes off, remote in his hand, and lying on my bed.

I lay beside Shaq and Jake sits beside me, my bed is huge "let's watch The Game" I say taking the remote out of Shaq's hand and turning the TV "you like this show?"

"Love it" and he winks at me I chuckle looking back at the TV and Jake lies down beside me. "So Andrea, you got work tomorrow?" Shaq asks yawning "yep" I don't need a job but I've always thought it would be good for me, so I do, I work at a barbershop not too far from my house. I love working at the barbershop its soo much fun I also help out at the disability center on Thursdays and Fridays form 4:00-6:00 but I choose to. I worked at the barbershop on Mondays-Wednesdays we didn't have work today thank god, on game nights my boss Mitch made me come in on Saturday or Sunday which I had no problem with. "Where you work?" Jake asks moving closer to me "the barbershop downtown" he nods "that's cool"

"Yep"

"Her lunch break is 4:30" Shaq declares smiling I laugh shrugging "like he cares"

"It's very helpful" Jake replies hitting my shoulder with his, I do it back. "Well, Jake man you ready to roll out?" Shaq asks sitting up "yeah" he gets up "well Andy we out see you tomorrow I get up following them out the door and down the stairs. "Okay" at the door Shaq gives me a hug and kiss on the cheek after Shaq walks out the door Jake gives me a hug I smile in surprise. "See you tomorrow beautiful" he whispers in my ear, I nod dumbfounded watching him walk to Shaq's car.

"I think I like Jake," I tell my girls on our way to English class the next day Kelly gasps "but you can't, you already go out with Sean" I sigh knowing it was true. "Well as smart as you are I know you'll figure out something," Zia says putting an arm around my shoulders, Sean is writing on the board when we get into the class he smiles brightly seeing me I wink walking back to my seat. Sean and I have been going out since I was in the 10th grade "OK guys today we will be writing an essay on the most important person in your life and why they are the most important, be creative, give me details and it must be two pages, get started" I groan not really feeling the assignment. I take out my cell when he hands out the paper for us to get started I text Sean saying

u always have been bad giving assignments...baby u should do better

I send it putting my cell in my lap ready to start on my essay just at that moment my cell vibrates. A text from Sean saying

am I bad in the bed 2??

I laugh to myself trying to hold it in

Ohh no you're the best I've ever had

I send it. I had already decided that I was going to write about my dad, he's very important to me, I get a text

thought so...want to get my loving 2nite?

I make a pouting face

I would love to but I've got to work.

I start writing, bored out of my mind "pssst" I turn my head slightly looking at Zia she hands me a note smiling just a little it said

Andrea,
I was wondering if you would like to do something Saturday, excuse me if I'm being too forward
--Jake

I smile looking over at him then I write OK circling it multiple times "Zia pass it back" she narrows her eyes but passes it back and I get a text

Too bad. Now get bck to work before I whoop u

I smile in amusement but I slip it in my pocket and I glance over at Jake who was smiling just slightly.

I head to my car after school "Andrea, wait up" I turn to see Shaq running my way "Hello Shaquille what can I do for you?"

"My hair" I run my fingers through his baby hair "OK, but after I get off work tonight" he grins "can I bring homeboy along?" I sigh rolling my eyes "do whatever you want" I open the door to my car "goodbye Shaq, see you tonight" I drive off going to Dunkin Doughnuts. The thing the guys love most about me at the shop is I'm always bringing them something to eat, After I get 5 boxes of doughnuts I head to the shop, oh and another thing, the guys loved to flirt with me. Once at the shop I take out the doughnuts and my purse, then head inside "There goes my sexy mama right there" white boy Mark yells I smile rolling my eyes "hey guys"

"Hey Andy," they all say together I head to the back. Six dudes worked here Mark, Lawrence, Josh, Walker, K.C, and Mitch, I'm the only girl. I walk back out tightening my smop that I had to wear. "So what's up sexy?" Josh asks as I get to my station that's between his and Mark's "nothing much, chilling, being cool" he chuckles "looking good in that skirt" Mark declares looking at my butt I laugh "thank you, Mark"

"Anytime" I look at the customers and I notice this mixed little boy sitting all alone looking scared. "Hey little man, you want to go get a doughnut so then I can do your hair?" I ask he looks at me through his load of hair, he nods. I hold my hand out and he takes it "awww look at Andy being nice to the little boy"

"Shut up K.C" I look at the cute little boy "my name is Andy, what's yours?" He turns his green eyes on me "Jackson" he sounded so sweet "that's a cute name and how old are you?"

"Six" I hand him the doughnut and we walk back out to my station, he sits down in my chair "Andrea you coming on Sunday?" Mitch asks "if you need me to, I don't have any plans" I look down at Jackson "you want some braids?" He looks around thoughtfully "yes please" he had such good manners. "I wish you guys were as sweet as he is," I say pointing to Jackson "man I'm very sweet, wanna see if I'm sweet in the bed too Andy?" I laugh shaking my head "no thanks Lawrence" I put grease on his scalp beginning to braid "yo, check this out, his brother is white, and he's mixed, weird" Walker declares cutting another man's hair "it happens" Josh says as Mark moves to turn on the radio. The barbershop is big and it was a little packed, most of the guys only came to talk and gossip "maybe we should make Andy our person who brings in snacks K.C says coming from out of the backroom licking his lips, he probably just ate a doughnut. "I thought I already am" I joke as South Dallas Swag comes on, Jackson starts singing it, I was glad that I was already about done with his hair. All of a sudden Jackson jumps up and starts doing the dance I laugh and so does everyone else I mean he was a sight to see. When he's done everybody starts trying to talk to him "OK guys let me finish his hair so when his parents come to get him he'll be ready" Jackson comes to sit back down I give him a high five "nice little man" he just smiles like he's satisfied.

By the time I'm done with Jackson and four other people it's my lunch break "I'm going to lunch" I announce coming from the back with my purse and keys I walk over to Jackson who was on his third doughnut. "Who's coming to pick you up, sweetie?" He shrugs "my brother I think" I really didn't want to leave him here with all these men and he looked like he was starving. "Come on" I hold out my hand, he takes it while picking up his Coogi jacket as we're walking out I almost bump into a running Jake "hey Andy"

"Hey Jake" he looks down and smiles clearly amused "trying to kidnap my brother I see"

"I didn't even know he was your brother, I was just taking him to get something to eat, he's been here for a really long time" I could kind of see the resemblance between the two of them. "You know you shouldn't have left him alone" he shrugs "had things to do, plus it looks like Jack's grown onto you," he says pointing to Jackson who was hugging my leg. "He's my new favorite customer" Jake smiles with a twinkle in his eyes "well I was just going to take Jack to get something to eat, wanna tag along?" I make a face "I would hate to be a bother"

"You wouldn't, I would love to get to know you better and Jackson is attached to you" I chuckle "OK" he smiles that smile that made my insides roll "well let's go" and Jake grabs my other hand catching me completely off guard but I make no move to pull away. "Jakey you left me alone" Jackson mutters from beside me "sorry little man" we get to a gray jeep with Jake's name on the side "nice," I say approvingly " thank you" he goes around opening my door and Jackson's door "thanks"

"No problem, buckle up J Bug" he closes my door and walks to his side. "So where do ya'll want to eat at?"

"Burger King" Jackson yells from the back I laugh "What about you Apples?" I raise an eyebrow looking over at him "nice nickname, it doesn't matter Burger King's cool" we drive with Jackson the only person singing the songs. "Oh Jake your brother had us cracking up in the shop"

"What he do?"

"Man, he was in there dancing and singing to South Dallas Swag" Jake laughs "yeah he loves that song, I taught him how to do the dance so now every time it comes on he does the dance." I chuckle "do you have any other brothers or sisters?"

"Yeah an older brother named Derrick, a younger sister named Kelsey, and a deaf younger brother
