New York Hustle // Chapter Six

It’s been hours, we’ve talked about the most random stuff. At some point, Nero left to get us beer and he even brought a bottle of Jack and snacks. I really got to know him in the last two hours, his last name is Turner, he has been living in the city his whole life and that his father left when he was six. I bite into my twizzler and try to bring myself to stop laughing. “So you actually trying to tell me you have seven brothers.”, he stops for a moment to calm himself. “Your mom was pregnant eight times and had you when she just turned 30. Your parents need a hobby.”, He says still laughing when he takes a sip from his beer. “Well actually, she was pregnant seven times. I’ve got a twin.” “You got a twin?”, I nod at his question. “That’s dope.”, he freezes for a moment. “Yo hold on, can we talk about this seven boys one girl thing for a second.”, We start to laugh again. “Well that’s a question I can’t answer.”, I say and take another bite. “Although, I have more uncles than aunts so that probably is just something that carries in the Scofield family.” “Your last name is Scofield? That’s a cool ass name, I’m not gonna lie to you.”, Nero says with a chuckle. I laugh along. “I probably should head home.”, I say with sadness in my voice. I wish i could stay but Murphy is going to check on me before he leaves for work. “I will walk you home.”, Nero says and get up. “Oh, you don’t have to.”, I tell him. “I know I don’t have to but I want to.”, Nero says and holds out his hand for me. I smile at him and take his hand in mine. For some reason was the way back faster than getting there, which I hate since I want to spend more time with him. “That’s me.”, I say and nod to the building I live in. “And don’t laugh at me but I have to climb up the fire escape.”, Nero and I both laugh anyways. “Thank you for today I really needed that. And thanks again for paying everything, are you really sure you don’t want me to give you back at least a little.”, Nero smiles and shakes his head. “But you could give me your number instead.”, Nero says straight forward. “Smooth move Turner.”, I say while laughing and shaking my head. “But yeah sure, I can do that.”, Nero pulls out his phone and hands it over to me. I type my number into his phone and save the contact under Scofield. I give him back his phone and look up at him, not sure what to do next. So I stand up on my tiptoes and kiss him on the cheek. “Bye Nero.”, I say softly. “Bye Bella.”, I pull away and start to climb up the ladder. As I reach the third floor I pull open my window but look down again. Nero’s still standing there and watching me, when he sees that I look at him he pulls his hand out of his pocket and waves. I wave back then climb through my window. When my feet hit the ground after this long night I immediately realize how tired I am. I change into more comfortable clothes and lay down in my bed. Just when I cover myself up I hear a soft knock on my door. I purposely don’t answer it so my brother thinks I’ve been asleep the whole time. When I slightly open my eyes I can see that the door opens and how Murphy steps into my room. He comes closer to my bed, bends down, and gives me a kiss on the head, he turns around again in the same moment and leaves the room, and quietly closes the door behind him. Only a few seconds later the door opens again and Forrest steps in, he too comes closer to my bed but instead of bending down, he kneels next to it. Forrest lightly shakes my shoulder. “Bella, wake up.”, he says. I open my eyes to look at him. “I wanted to apologize, of course, I’m not just here because of your school problems.”, Forrest says genuinely. “How about I make us some breakfast and when I say breakfast I’m talking bacon, pancakes, and eggs type of shit.”, I laugh at his suggestion but nod at the same time. “Sounds good.”, I say and smile. I can’t be mad at him for too long, I know he meant well. “Okay great. But I do have to do my workout first and probably buy some stuff for the meal, so let’s make it eleven or twelve.”, he says and get up. “Yeah sure.”, I say and close my eyes. “See ya later.”, Forrest leaves my room. *** “Any plans for the day?”, Forrest asks while swallowing a piece of pancake. I shake my head. “Not really, maybe I’ll stop by at Hannahs later.”, I take a sip of my orange juice. “And of course watch the game later.” “I wish could watch it too, but I’ve got so much to do while I’m here.”, he says with an annoyed face. I just laugh at him and he answers with a kick against my shin. “Ouch!”, I yell out. “Then stop laughing at me.”, Forrest says with a laugh. “But I have to go now or else I will never get done.”, he says and gets up. He picks up his plate and a few other things. “Don’t worry, I’ll clean up.”, I say with a smile. I know how stressful it can be to get everything done and still spend time with the family. So the least I can do is the dishes. “You’re an angel.”, Forrest says relieved, and walks to the front door. “I’ll see you later.” “Bye.”, I say as he closes the door behind him.
