teach me sum

"Come on Melo, you have to focus." I let out a frustrated sigh.

Maybe this was harder than I thought.

We only went through two questions so far.

We had just got home from Chick-fil-a and I was trying to help Melo with some of the first few exam english questions.

Except things didn't go as planned. We were originally downstairs at the dining room table until Melo started complaining that his dad was too loud while talking to the camera crew about their reality tv show.

Lavar was very happy that I became Melo's tutor and he said that he was going have a great time learning from me. Whatever that means.

We changed locations and were now in his bedroom. That's when Melo got a phone call from Ant asking if he wanted to hop online to play 2k but I made Melo decline the offer.

Although it was very tempting to stop what we were doing to play video games, I couldn't have that happen.

"Hold up, Maya." He says and pulls out his phone and taps a couple of buttons.

"Wassup instagram, we live." I know this nigga did not just go live!

"Melo! Turn that off. You have to study." I groan trying to reach for his phone.

"Who is that? That's Maya. She cute ain't she." He read off a question and turned his phone to me so everyone could see me.

"Hey guys. Tell Melo to get off live because he has to study for exams."

The comments rushed in telling Melo to get off live.

"No. I'm not finna get off live. I'm trynna say wassup to my people. You know what I'm sayin?" Melo says. Guess I gotta use force.

We were seated on his bed and he was on the opposite side of me.

He looked very confused as I got up from my spot from the bed and went behind him.

I covered his eyes with one of my hands and snatched the phone with the other.

"Ay shawty give it back!" He says.

"Nuh, uh. You gotta study. Sorry guys I'm finna end the live."

"If you end the live I'm gone.." I didn't let him finish before I turned off the live.

I already know there was gonna be so many clips of that live on instagram.

"Oh hell naw. You not finna disrespect me like that." He looked at me. I was frozen until he started walking over to me.

I squeal and I try to run the door but Melo blocks, and slams the door shut.

I turn around and try to run to the bathroom next. Melo reaches the bathroom before I do and creeps towards me.

Oh damn I'm finna die again. Part two.

My legs hit the side of the bed and before I could register Melo grabs me by waist and throws me on his bed. I can't move though he had me pinned down by my arms.

"Hm are you ticklish, Maya?"

Oh no.

I quickly shook my head no. I really hoped he believed me.

"I don't believe you." He said. Damn, it's a like he read my mind.

He starts tickling me.

"Ha ha! Stop! Melo quit! I swear imma kick you!" I couldn't stop laughing.

It's funny because we were supposed to be studying right now. I don't know how we got to this..

"No. Say sorry for ending the live." He says laughing too.

"I can't! You're tickling me! I can't breathe." I say still giggling. This was torture. But you know the good torture.

He stops tickling me but our position was.. interesting to say the least. Melo was now straddling me and his arms were on either side of me.

My heart was beating crazily not only from the tickling but from Melo himself. I couldn't let this go any further.

I kick one of his knees so I could gain control. Now I was on top of him. He went with it, though. His hands automatically on my waist.

Okay this was not really stopping it..

"You have to get ready for the exams. Do you want to fail?" I ask him, seriously. I genuinely cared for his education.

He shook his head no.

"Good." I sigh deeply.

The door rattled for a second and then opened. In came Gelo.

"Oh, shit. I knew yaw was getting it in!" He yells looking at our position and I quickly get off of Melo.

"It's not what it looks like!" I say trying to explain myself.

Melo sits his self up right and puts his hand over my mouth, "No, it's exactly what it looks like." he smirks. Oh my god now Gelo gone get the wrong idea.

"No it's not.." I face palm.

"Okay, I'm just gone shut the door now. Actually, I should probably keep it open cuz yaw kids being freaky up in here." Melo laughs beside me, and his smile was made me melt.

"Yeah leave it open, Gelo. It's probably for the best." I say and let out a deep breath. We had to get some work done.

Once Gelo leaves and I turn to Melo. He's already looking at me.

"Okay, get the book. Let's pick up where we started." Surprisingly, he does what I say the first time and things go smoothly.

It's been a couple of hours.

Melo and I were on his bed still, on our stomachs, and the text book was still open and we were finally finishing up the last question for the day.

I was very happy we were coming to the end of our tutoring session. I was so hungry and exhausted.

I just wanted to take a hot shower and long nap, after I ate of course.

"Okay so what would you say if I asked you what is the incongruity between what might be expected and what actually occurs. What's that?"

"Oh shit, that's Irony right?"

I nodded vigorously. We were making progress here!

"Yes! Good job Melo." I congratulate him.

"You already know I'm with the gang." He says biting his lip and doing gang signs. I laugh.

"Well that was the last question, you good for today. Imma be back tomorrow though." I explain.

Melo got up and start doing a little dance.

This nigga really can't dance.

A knock on the door interrupts our conversation.

"Hey lil Kuzma! Wanna stay for dinner? I made burgers!" Lavar enters the room loudly.

"Sure Lavar. I'd love to stay for dinner. I'm starving!" I was really hungry and I honestly wouldn't mind eating here. I was starting to get very comfortable with the the Ball family. Everyone was so inviting and Lavar and Tina gave me that second pair of parents vibe. It was great.

Lavar leaves the door way and I get up from the bed.

"I'll race you down the stairs." I challenge Melo.

"Bet. One, two, three, go!" As soon as he counted down to the one I was off.

I had the lead for a little while until we were at the stairs. Melo went down before me and he started skipping steps too.

He ended up winning and It was very upsetting.

"You cheated." I pout as we make our way to the dining room.

"I didn't. You just mad that I'm the shit." Melo said while laughing. I roll my eyes.

"No you did because you skipped steps.." I was cut off by a girl.

"Oh my gosh, hi Melo! Long time no see. How are you doing." A tan, Mexican looking brunette hugs Melo.

I didn't like the way she hugged him and from the looks of it he didn't want to be hugged either.

She looked like she was older than Melo so they couldn't be talking.

Right?

"Hi Denise." Melo was short with it. Something definitely had to be going on and I was confused as hell.

So, Denise was her name. She seemed very interesting. I'm not one to judge but Jesus take the wheel what the hell was she wearing? The girl had on a pink tube top that could barely fit her and some matching biker shorts.

"So who is this? Your new girl for the week?" She asks right in front of my face. I know this bitch didn't-

"Actually my name is Maya, and no we're not together." I smiled politely while saying this.

See, at this point I really don't have time for trifling hoes. I find my seat, and I mind my own business. She could be messy all she wanted. This Denise girl just wanted a reaction out of me and I was known for not giving people what they wanted.

"I mean to be honest, Ashley was way better than her." Denise whispers a little to loudly.

"Who the hell asked you? Honestly. Last time I checked your opinion isn't valid around here." Melo defends me. I could tell he was becoming frustrated. She shut her mouth right up.

I tried to stiffen my laugh.

Lavar walks into the dining room just before something could go down.

"Alright! Let's grub!" Lavar claps his hands together and he makes his way to his seat. A short few moments after, Tina comes in with her cane and I greet her. I also help her to her seat.

While we were seated, Melo was just kept staring at me, "Take a picture it'll last longer." I say to him and he whips out his phone and takes a picture of me while sitting at the dinner table.

"Yeah this fasho going on the snap." He nods his head quickly while talking.

Gelo and Jaden were next to come into the dining room. They laughing and giggling like something funny just had happened.

"Akekeke nothing never that funny." Melo says to them. Jaden glares and Gelo flips him off.

I dap Gelo up and Jaden and I hug and catch on each other's lives.

Zo finally makes an appearance and he's not by hisself. He's holding a cute little baby girl in his hand.

She was so adorable.

I cooed, "Aw, Zo you didn't tell you had a daughter!" I was honestly a little upset. I like children especially when their young and tiny.

"You never asked, M." He just shrugged his shoulders.

"Can I hold her?" I ask, politely.

"No, actually I wanted to hold my niece thank you very much." Melo says to me and finesses the child out of Lonzo's  arms.

"Watch her head!" Denise says worriedly, biting her nails. I could tell she was very nervous.

The pieces were slowly being put together..

Lonzo had a child with the girl named Denise, and although Zo was sitting next to Denise, you could tell there was a sense of tension. They were definitely not together anymore. But that was none of my business.

As Melo took a seat, Lavar said a little prayer of the food and we began eating.

I took the first bite of my burger and It was delicious. I was very surprised. I had no idea Lavar could cook.

After I took a couple more bites I got full, "Melo let me hold her." Zoey began to get a little fussy and Melo and his greedy ass just wanted to eat.

Since we were sitting next to each other, all he did was put her into my arms and I began to pat her bottom. Babies like to be lightly patted it calms them down.

"Damn, you really good with kids." Melo was so intrigued on how I calmed her down.

I give him a generous smile, "Thanks. I used to babysit my cousins back home. I guess you could say I had a little bit of practice."

"You sure you don't wanna have my kids?" Melo sounded like he was really being serious. The look on his face wasn't helping either.

I try to laugh it off, seeing as his whole freakin family was around.

Tina laughed and pointed at me, "Haha, Okay!"

Why wasTina encouraging this boy.____

We were finished with dinner and I was helping wash the dishes. I was glad that Lavar fed me so I only insisted in washing the dishes.

I was in the kitchen by myself until Denise came in to make a bottle for Zoey. I ignore her presence for the time being.

"He's gonna leave you."

"I'm sorry?" I think I needed a hearing aid.

"I said he's going to leave you. I know for a fact once he finished with you he's going straight back to my girl Ashley." Okay wow. Denise had me all the way messed up.

I turn off the running water.

"Let's get your facts straight. I am not dating LaMelo. Second, even if I was with him, our relationship wouldn't concern you or Ashley for that matter. And third, stay the hell away from me! I just met you and I feel like you're stalking me. I could care less about how you or Ashley felt! Honestly what is your problem?"

Denise just stays silent, looking at the floor. I was honestly disappointed. Wasn't she a mother? Zoey needed someone to look up too to and as of right now Denise was not being a good example.

I scoff and I make my way out of the kitchen.

Melo was on the couch with Gelo and Zo and I plop down beside him.

"What's wrong? You okay, shawty?" I guess he could tell I was a little flustered.

Today was a long day. I just wanted to get into the bed, "Yeah I'm fine I'm just ready to go home now."

"Aight lemme get my keys I'll drop you off." He gets up from the couch and Zo see's my expression.

"Did she say something?" He points back to the kitchen direction.

"She has said a lot of things tonight, Zo. Sometimes you gotta put people in their place." I smile and I give him a quick hug goodnight, same goes for Gelo.

They were good guys.

"Okay, I got my keys. Let's hop in the whip and vroom." I laugh at his choice of words.

Melo would always seem to cheer me up.

He really was a great.. friend.

Oh my- Yaw I can't believe Melo is 18 now.
