𝐊-𝐈-𝐒𝐒-𝐈-𝐍-𝐆 - Chapter 2: Chapter 2

The following afternoon, Jazlyn decided to hang out with a few friends for lunch since she didn't really have anything planned until later that night with Marcus.
She got herself ready in a very simple but cute outfit, curling her hair and giving it a side part to finish off the look.
Her phone vibrated on the bathroom sink as she applied her lipgloss over her lips, receiving a text from her friend Crystal who was downstairs parked at the front waiting for her.
Jazlyn responded back, letting her know she'll be on her way down. She grabbed her purse and double checked if she forgot anything before leaving.
Once she arrived in the lobby, Jazlyn rushed out the front doors but immediately caught the attention of Marcus and his friends who were approaching the building.
"Ayo, is that Jazzy Jaz I see?!" Tyreke called out before Jazlyn could get into Crystal's car.
Jazlyn chuckled and held her finger up at Crystal, mouthing to give her one second. Jazlyn met the boys halfway and gave Tyreke a hug. "Happy birthday, Ty." She smiled, pulling away from him and glancing at the others. "Hey, what's up y'all?"
They responded with a bunch of 'chillings' and 'nothing much' but Marcus remained silent, trailing his eyes up and down Jazlyn's body with a sly smirk on his face. When his eyes finally met hers, all he did was wink causing her to playfully roll her eyes. He was really here trying to keep it cute in front of his friends.
"So Jaz.. baby, when you gonna stop playin' with my heart and be my lady?" Tyreke flirted as he leaned against Crystal's car.
"Uhn uhn- boy!" Crystal honked her horn, causing everyone to jump. "Better get up off my shit!" The windows were rolled up but she was very much still heard loud and clear.
Jazlyn snickered, bringing her attention back on Tyreke. "You're gonna have to knock out the competition for that title." She joked, looking over at Marcus.
Tyreke smacked his lips. "Man.. anything this fool can do for you, I can do bette—"
Marcus roughly shoved and pointed at him. "Aye I have no problem fucking you up on yo' birthday, kid." He warned.
Jazlyn just chuckled and opened up the car door. "I'll see y'all later." She shook her head and got inside.
The boys said their goodbyes and watched the car pull off. "Yo.. that's one shorty who I'd never treat like a hoe." Tyreke stated as they walked up to the bench in front of the apartment. "Stop cock blocking and hook me up." He stressed to Marcus.
"No." Marcus plopped down on the bench.
"And I say 'no' because one - you say you won't treat her like a hoe, but you will. We all know you."
The other guys chuckled as Tyreke smacked his lips and waved Marcus off.
"And two - because I finally got a date with her. We goin' out tonight." Marcus smirked to himself, looking down at his lap.
Tyreke shot him a look. "Now I know yo' desperate ass didn't make plans with her on my mothafuckin birthday! You serious?"
"Nigga calm down." Marcus mean mugged him. "You actin' like I'm not about to spend the whole fucking day at this cookout or whatever yo' moms is having for you. Matter of fact, let's hurry up and get this shit from my crib. Just sitting here wasting time..."
The boys all made their way upstairs to retrieve a few things Tyreke was missing for his party back at his house, such as extra paper plates and some more soft drinks.
They weren't expecting so many people to show up. Tyreke's mother definitely used this day more as a family and friends reunion for herself rather than a little birthday gathering for Tyreke. He didn't even know half the people there.
After making it back to Tyreke's house, the party continued on rather smoothly. That was until one of Tyreke's little play thangs, Jessica, and her homegirls pulled up.
The boys were all chillin' in their own secluded spot in the backyard away from the adults, when Jessica's crew came strutting towards them. "Hey, Reke." Jess smirked, sitting down on his lap.
Marcus could feel a set of eyes burning a hole through his face. He knew exactly where the gaze was coming from but he was trying very hard to avoid making eye contact with her.
"Oh so it's like that now?" She spoke up.
Marcus sighed and slowly looked over at her. "Whatchu want me to say, Lena? Huh?"
Lena was someone who Marcus had met through Jessica and Tyreke. They did have a thing going on for a minute, until Marcus found out she started fucking with her ex again.
One thing about Marcus is if he's giving you his all, he expects the same in return. Him and Lena weren't official but they were definitely getting there. She was the one who pursued Marcus, so he couldn't quite understand what her real motive was at the time. But he woke up eventually, realizing he was just a rebound until her ex decided to come back into her life.
Lena scoffed and rolled her eyes. "Nigga don't be coming at me like that. I been tryna stay cordial with you, the fuck's your problem? Your new girl don't allow you to have friends or sum'n?"
Marcus kissed his teeth. "Aye don't be worryin' about all that, aight? That shit ain't none of yo' business."
"Yeah, it ain't none of your business." Jazlyn's voice was suddenly heard from behind them.
Marcus turned around in his seat, seeing Jaz standing there mean mugging Lena with her arms folded.
"Who the fuck is this?" Lena eyed Jazlyn up and down, mirroring the same mean mug.
"Bitch, I'm the girl you seem to be so worried abou-"
"Woah ok, ok." Marcus quickly got up and pulled Jazlyn. He's never seen her mad before and he didn't want the first encounter to be over Lena's annoying ass.
"Calm down, ma." Marcus threw his arm around her shoulder as they walked away. "Whatchu doin' here anyways?"
"One of my girls actually knows Tyreke's family. I didn't know about this until today when we went out and she told us she was invited here. So we all just decided to pull up." Jazlyn explained.
"Small world." Marcus chuckled as Jazlyn agreed. "But aye, you ready to go on our date? 'Cause I have no problem leaving these niggas here right now if you wanna go."
Jazlyn giggled and shook her head. "No it's okay, we can stay for a while. The food on the grill smells good as hell anyways. I'll be back." She swiftly pushed his arm off her shoulder and rushed to the grill where her friends were harassing one of Tyreke's uncles to hurry up with the food.
Marcus snickered, shaking his head before going back over to his boys. Lena was still standing there looking stupid but she knew not to say shit else. She had no place to.
As the party went on, everyone was happily enjoying themselves. Dancing to all the latest songs that blasted through the speakers, eating good, playing games, and taking shots.
Marcus and Jazlyn actually ended up forgetting about their date and didn't realize until they both checked the time and seen that it was well past 9:30pm. They were having way too much fun and neither one of them were complaining as long as they were in each other's presence.
The party was wrapping up and everyone was just about ready to leave. Jazlyn said goodbye to her friends, hitching a ride with Marcus since they lived at the same place.
They joked about any and everything on their way home. Nothing but good energy between them like always. Marcus could listen to her laugh all day. He wanted to be the reason she smiled.
Jazlyn was not oblivious to the strong chemistry they between them. You would've thought they'd know each other for years with the way the got along so well. She always wanted a friend and a lover all in one. And maybe.. just maybe, she might've finally found that.
As they arrived back at home in front of Jazlyn's door, their laughter died down before Jazlyn searched for her house keys. "I'm really sorry we didn't get to go on our date." Marcus apologized.
Jazlyn scooped out her keys and glanced at him. "Oh don't even worry about it. I had so much fun tonight honestly. I still got to spend the day with you, so it's all good. We can always postpone."
Marcus nodded with a slight grin. "Yeah, I'm cool with that. I'm glad you enjoyed yourself."
"Same." Jazlyn shyly looked down, playing with her keys.
There was an awkward silence for a moment before Marcus decided to speak up again. "Well uh.. I guess I'll see you. I got yo' number so I'll call you and we can plan this whole date again." He chuckled.
"Alright." Jazlyn nodded and leaned in for a hug, wrapping her arms around his neck. "Thanks for a wonderful evening." She left a quick peck on his cheek and pulled away, catching Marcus off guard.
"Goodnight, Marcus." She spoke softly and turned around, unlocking her door and heading inside.
Marcus was shocked by her gesture, standing there dumbfounded as she shut the door. He slowly turned away and headed towards his apartment with a stupid smile on his face.
Jazlyn stripped out of her clothes, replacing them with an oversized t-shirt. She sat on her bed and began fighting with the thoughts that were running through her mind. She didn't really want the night to end, and neither did he.
Marcus was pacing back and forth in his house, wondering if he should go over to crib and ask if she wants to watch a movie or something.
"Nah she's probably tired." He said to himself, knowing damn well Jazlyn was a night owl.
"Just go over there, Jaz. It ain't like he's doing shit." Jazlyn also conversed with herself.
She sighed and got up, slipping on her Nike slides and grabbed her keys before heading for her door.
She locked up and walked to Marcus' door but before she could even knock, he already swung the door open.
"O-oh I uh.." Jazlyn stumbled over her words. "I-I was just coming over here to ask if you wanted to like... hang out a little longer?"
Marcus smirked and nodded. "I was about to come ask you the same thing." He stepped aside, allowing her to enter.
"I got some movies we can watc—" He began to speak as he turned around to face her after shutting his door, but was immediately met by a kiss on the lips.
Jaz pulled away and stared at him as he mirrored her expression. She had no idea what came over her in this moment, but she didn't regret it.
Marcus gently grabbed her by her waist and pulled her in, bending down so their lips could meet again. They moved in sync, as their tongues swirled around each other.
Marcus picked her up, with her arms and legs wrapped around him and broke their kiss. "You want me?" He questioned softly.
Jazlyn sinked her teeth into her bottom lip. The sound of the raspiness in his voice was always a huge turn on for her. She didn't know how she was able to contain herself every time he spoke.
She nodded, gazing into his hooded eyes. "Yes." She replied above a whisper.
That was all Marcus needed to hear before carrying her to his room. He laid her down on her back, hovering over her as he kissed her lips and trailed down to her neck.
He softly bit down into her skin, sucking and circling his tongue on it. "Mmm.." Jaz lightly moaned.
Marcus's hand found its way underneath her shirt, caressing her breasts and playing with her nipples. His mouth soon replaced his hand as he sucked on her nipple while he reached down into her panties, gliding his finger against her wet slit.
"Shit Marcus... ahh." She released an airy moan as he slipped his middle finger inside her pulsating walls.
Marcus lifted his head up, bringing his lips to hers and pulling away to watch the love faces she was making.
"You like that, baby girl?" Marcus bit his lip as he felt his dick getting hard as a rock.
"Yes mhmm.. don't stop." Jazlyn's eyes rolled back. She hadn't felt pleasure like this in a very long time and Marcus was definitely getting the job done tremendously.
Marcus slipped another finger in, earning a pleasurable gasp from Jazlyn. "Shit.. Jaz you so fuckin' wet. Damn."
Jazlyn rolled her hips in sync with his fingers as her hand travelled down his chest, slipping into his shorts and getting a hold of his manhood. She began stroking it as precum oozed from the tip.
"Fuck. You feel that baby? You did that shit to me. You so fucking beautiful." Marcus groaned as they both leaned in for a nasty, sloppier kiss.
Jaz could feel her release coming. Her legs began to shake while Marcus sped up the pace of his fingers. He slipped them out, using her juices to lubricate her clit as he rubbed it in circles before sliding them back in.
"Oh my god, Marcus!" She yelled in ecstasy.
"You better cum all over this shit, ma. Cum for me." He growled, thrusting himself in Jazlyn's hand at the same time.
The foreplay the were both giving each other was almost too much to handle. The sound of Jazlyn's moans mixed with sound of her juices, along with Marcus' soothing voice speaking all types of erotic things in her ear while his shaft throbbed in her hand had both of them ready to do some things they'd both been longing for since the day they met.
"Jaz, I'm 'bout to fucking nut baby." Marcus bucked his hips as Jazlyn stroked him faster.
"I'm cumming too daddy. Don't stop please... fuuuck!" Jazlyn finally creamed all over his fingers as her body shook.
"That's right baby girl, just like that. Fuck, Jaz!" Marcus followed right behind her, releasing all his seeds all over her hand.
Jazlyn moaned, feeling satisfied as she and Marcus shared a sensual kiss. They both took a minute to catch themselves before Marcus got up to get a wet towel to clean off the mess.
There was a comfortable silence while Marcus wiped Jazlyn's skin. However, Marcus started to feel some sort of guilt now that his mind was clear again. He didn't want Jaz to think he just wanted her for sex because he really didn't. He genuinely liked her but he didn't know if she knew actually knew that.
"You don't think we're moving too fast?" Marcus asked nervously, slowly looking at her.
Jazlyn gave him a soft grin and sat up. "I do. But I don't regret anything that just happened. If I didn't want it, I would've never kissed you or I simply would've said 'no' when you asked."
Marcus sighed and held on to her hand, bringing it to his lips and kissing the back of it. "I really like you, shorty. Forreal. I don't want you to think anything else. Whenever we reach the part where you ready to give me a chance to be ya man, I just want you to know that I don't plan on ever hurting you. You hear me?"
Jazlyn blushed, smiling widely before pecking his cheek then his lips. "I hear you, and I believe you."
Marcus smashed their lips together once again and for the rest of the night, they continued to explore each other's bodies, making endless love.
And best believe Marcus kept his word. It was the beginning of a beautiful love tale, the story of two people finding true love and never letting go of it. Jazlyn and Marcus got their happy ending with each other, as they both deserved.
"I don't think I would've experienced any love greater than this, if me and my neighbor never met..."
