Chapter 3

He hadn’t meant to walk her all the way home. What if she had ran inside and told her parents? He’d saw her father once when he had come to pick her up and let’s just say he had that don’t mess with face when he saw all of us skinhead in the front office waiting to be seen by the principle. Damn what was he thinking coming to her house? He stopped once they were in front of her house. Well this is where we part ways I guess. She had stayed quite the entire walk home. He wondered what she was thinking. He had a good idea of what but for some reason he wanted to hear her say it. She looked down at his hand and then she shocked the shit out of him. She intertwined her hand with his; come on I want you to meet my family. He tried to jerk his hand back but she clamped down tight. You asked me to trust you, now I am asking you to trust me. He wanted to strike out running, however the look in her eyes seemed very sincere. He looked around nodded his head and walked inside. Her family was in the kitchen when they walked in; they all turned around but didn’t stop what they were doing. Hey baby girl how was your day her dad said hugging her. She looked at Alton then back at her father who was now staring a hole straight through Alton. It was fine dad same old stuff, different day. Who is your friend? Her mom said as she washed out a pan and placed some chicken in it. Mom, this Alton Laurenitis he was my lab partner in the ninth grade. He walked me home today. Oh how nice will he be staying for dinner? Alton spoke up then umm… no ma’am I have to head home I have some homework to start on. Actually mom yes he will. He eyed her, then her father who was still staring a hole straight through him… He faked a smiled then said well I guess I could stay for a little while. Good her father said clapping his hands together. Let’s go have a little chat while the ladies finish making dinner her brother Rodney snickered and threw the towel to Yaz. Oh yea… this should be fun. Mr. Carmichael slapped Alton on the back and led him outside to their deck. Gwen turned around and smiled… it looks as if your dad is bringing another child into the fold! They all shook their heads and laughed. Poor Alton she thought, She just wanted to scare him just as much as he had scared her, at least he would not have to undress for her father. God he actually saw her small breast. The lord in that department did not bless her but what she lacked in breasts her booty more than made up for it, she had caught Alton on more than one occasion checking her out back there. She wondered if he would ever stop being a Nazi and learn to actually have fun with other people or races. Laughing, again she started peeling the potatoes and hummed a tune of a song to herself.

Alton was lead to the deck where he
“was boxed in” by Yaz’s tall six foot five dad and her brother, which in height matched his own. Shit he was in trouble! So Mr. Carmichael began… you’re a Nazi huh? Alton looked at him but didn’t bat an eyelash; that’s right. “And you hate or let me re-phrase my question” the Nazi’s hate blacks and other races non- white? Yaz’s brother Rodney scooted up in his seat so he could look him in the eyes before he gave them an answer. Alton cleared his throat; he was no fool. This was his first time… well actually second time being inside of black family’s house. Still he was not about disrespect Mr. Carmichael’s home. I know what you are trying to do; however, I will be honest with you since you asked me. I am no racist Mr. Carmichael, I was thrust into this life by my father at the age of ten, I had no say in whether or not I wanted to be a part of it or not. He thinned his lips but he’d kept this bottled up for so long and it felt kind of good letting it out, but why he chose to do this with a black man he had no idea why? He had feelings towards Yaz shocking as it was to him she had crept into his life and he hadn’t even realized it so he felt like he’d better get in good with her father and by the looks of it her brother too. My father is not a nice man. He wasn’t always like this; once he lost his job everything went downhill from there. This Nazi group came in to town and offered to help get my father back on his feet but in doing this he had join their brotherhood. My father jumped head long at the opportunity, packed us up and left greenbrier with the speed of lighting. The more meetings we attended the deeper my father was sucked in. Without going into two much detail he made his point quickly, I’m only going along with this until I am old enough to get a job and get me my mother away from my father. He closed his eyes. His mother, God love her she was a strong woman and a loving mother. Please do not share this information with anyone not even Yaz. You two are the only ones that know what my plans are now. Okay… and why did you feel the need to share that with us? Well until now, I never thought I would be sitting in a black family’s home getting ready to eat dinner; he looked down and took the plunge. I care about your daughter and your sister he looked at Rodney. However if she were to ever get involved with me we would most likely be hurt. I stated “we, because as you know it is forbidden for us to… he looked up real quick when her brother jumped up out of his seat. You’re not going to defile my sister understand? What? You heard me… I didn’t stutter! YOU HAD BETTER KEEP YOUR DICK IN YOUR PANTS AND AWAY FROM MY SISTER! Alton stood up I was not talking about sex! I meant for us to be seen together. He lied; He had meant sex and for a minute, he had forgot where he was and whom he was speaking too. It then dawned on him that Mr. Carmichael sat quietly enjoying the show between Rodney and I until he said in low voice to the both of us to sit down. As we did; Mr. Carmichael stood up “I can’t tell my daughter who to like and who she can’t like, I can only tell her what some guys may be about and for her to try and stay clear of them, I trust my daughter to make the right decisions where it concerns her wellbeing, however you have me scratching my head a little? I can normally peg a person well and trust me if I got a feeling that you had “other intentions right now” with my daughter you wouldn’t be sitting here on my deck right now. I am a military man, look at me son. Alton turned his eyes towards Mr. Carmichael”  I don’t fuck around when it comes to my wife and kids. I will kill anyone without hesitation for messing with my mine and trust me I have a slew of military brothers black, white, Mexican, Indian, Asian and every other colors of the rainbow that will have my back on that, because I’d have theirs if the table were turned. So what I’m saying to you son is that your Nazi brotherhood don’t mean shit to me. I will bring the wrath of God down on all of them if even one of them hurt my Yaz or anyone you’re going to sit here and eat with tonight. Alton could tell he wasn’t bull shitting around either. He just may be the ally he needed to help him with his plan maybe. Hey it’s time to eat Ms. Carmichael said from the window. Thanks babe we’re coming. Alton and Rodney stood up and Mr. Carmichael caught his arm; by the way Yaz has never bought a boy home to meet her family…ever, So you must mean a lot to her for her to have done that. Mr. Carmichael and Rodney walked ahead of him and left him behind. He noted the look Rodney gave him saying  that this conversation was not over. Yaz poked her head out and asked him if he was okay? He took her hand and gently pulled her outside. Why did you invite me in Yaz? God her name felt right on his tongue. She smiled and said everyone needs a place to come to for a little peace, I hope that my home could be that place for you. To show you that not all people are bad. He touched her face I never thought of you as being bad just addictive. She smiled sheepishly. Well that’s not such a bad thing is it? No…it’s not, but it may get us into trouble, and I cannot and will not allow you to be hurt because of me. You worry too much. Tonight I just want you to feel like you belong here with us. She had heard bits and pieces of what he had said, and her heart went out to him. Come on let’s eat. I hope you like roast and potatoes. He smiled, he was a carnivore,  however the taste he was craving wasn’t for roast it was for her.

After
dinner, Alton said his goodbyes and was escorted to the door by Yaz. Well thanks for dinner; you have a very nice family. It felt good to be around a dinner table again. It’s been a long time since I’ve done that with my own family. She wanted to reach out hug him but she was afraid he wouldn’t like that out in public. He was taking a risk as it was just being here. You’re more than welcome to join us anytime you want. She smiled and said my family likes you so I think it’s safe to say you can come back. He chuckled… I’ll keep that in mind. He reached up and moved a stray piece of her hair from her face, God she was beautiful. Well I’d better go; I’ll see you at school tomorrow, but Yaz please act like, “I know Alton she uttered out” nodding. As he turned to leave her father stepped out, Yaz go on in I need to say something to Alton. Dad, please be nice, she kissed her father on the cheek and went inside. Alton looked at him Sir, thank you for allowing me in your home I enjoyed it. Mr. Carmichael walked down towards him and quietly said “if you ever need a place go or someone to talk to come see me.” He patted him on the back, shook his hand, and walked back into the house. Alton was stunned and for a moment he legs wouldn’t move. Her dad had placed a piece of paper in his hand, he unfolded it to see what looked like a telephone number. He felt like unloading his entire pint up anger and problems right then, but he reined it in and started his walk home way on the other side of town. This was the happiest time he could remember happening to him in what seemed like forever. Acceptance… man it felt good!

Six months into the school year and i
t had been pure hell on him at school. She had walked around all nonchalant in jeans that hugged her ass and shirts that pushed her breast up. She knew what the hell she was doing. He was about to lose his freak’in mind! He had watched a lot of guys attempt to cozy up to her since freshman year but today was different, he was seeing RED! In four years, she had solidly notched a place in his heart. They had snuck off to places where they couldn’t be seen and spent some time with each other. Just laughing, talking, and really getting to know each other as friends. Oh… they had held hands and petted each other but nothing too heavy. Now that they were seniors, his hormones were really out of control. He had wanted her since freshman year. She knew it, and he knew it. They had just been playing cat and mouse for so long that neither one of them new how to come out and just say it. Even though he hadn’t out right said it he truly was in love with her. The bell rang and everyone scrambled to leave for the day. It was a scorching hot Friday afternoon and he had a brotherhood meeting to attend in few hours that he dreaded to attend. It was his turn to teach the new recruits…he almost felt sorry for them because they really had no clue what they were really joining into. Yaz and her two friends casually walked passed him and his boys as they stared her down she kept walking and never looked back. She said her goodbyes and walked back inside the school. What hell was she thinking, and why wasn’t she walking home with them? He didn’t want her walking alone. He took it as his cue. He told his boys that he was staying after school to help set up for a basketball game and he would meet up with them later. He turned and headed the opposite direction Yaz had gone so the children of the corn wouldn’t think anything of it. Once he was around the corner, he poked his head back around to make sure they didn’t go after Yaz. He prayed they didn’t because by all that is holy he would lay some serious whip ass on them if they touched her! After they had passed, he hauled ass back inside the school to find her. Finally, after what seemed like eternity he found her at her locker rummaging through it.  He looked around to make sure the hall was empty. He walked straight up to her and tugged her inside a small little alcove where the water fountains were. Alton, what are you doing she whispered? He leaned in to her needing to feel her, touch her, and hold her. You ignored me all day today he said wrapping his arms around her waist. You told me to remember? He had but damnit he couldn’t go another minute not being near her. Yes I remember and it’s driving me crazy! Did you enjoy being hit on today by half the boys in school and right in front of me? She giggled. It was three boys and it wasn’t in front of you, you obviously were keeping an eye on me to notice that, besides I’m not interested in those boys. Yea right? You walked around as if it’s not effecting you. Are you insane it was killing me not to talk to you she said reaching up to touch his face. He leaned further into her touch. God it felt so good to finally be wanted by someone other than the whores that groped him after every meeting. All they wanted was sex, but this…being here with Yaz was heaven. Alton we can’t stay like this here what if someone sees us? He knew that but he wasn’t leaving until he got what he came for. He leaned down, cupped her face, hesitated…this would be his first time ever kissing a black girl…ever kissing her…ahh fuck it! He gently pressed his lips hers. She stiffened momentarily then relaxed into his embrace. Open for me he whispered into her mouth. Slowly she began to open her mouth he could tell she was inexperienced but his brain had short-circuited and he delved into her mouth then suckled her tongue. Damn she tasted good. He knew he was a goner! He deepened the kiss and she began to moan, shit he liked the sound of that. His hand traveled down slowly to cup her cup her softly rounded bottom. He gently squeezed it and brought her up against his hardened cock. Damn he wanted her. He needed to slow down. Don’t be greedy he chided himself, this is to be savored. Sweetness… he moaned suckling her lips then moved down to kiss her neck, my beautiful sweetness. He had been so caught up in kissing her that he almost didn’t hear the kids running up the hall towards their direction. He tore his lips away and pushed her behind him blocking her from their view. After they past he let out a breath he hadn’t realized he had been holding. He turned back around and what he saw almost brought him to his knees. Her lips were plump and swollen from his kisses; her eyes had the look of passion in them. She called to him in a way he had never understood. Since that very day she walked into his class he had wanted her. Brotherhood be damned he would not stay away from her. He bent down for one last taste of her lips until next time, and there would be a next time very soon. When he straightened, she slowly licked her lips and he almost came right then and there. Oh yea…he was in serious trouble.
