"Come on Amari! You have to be at the field by five and I gotta prep the wings." Brielle fussed as they walked through the warehouse of Fine Wine & Sprits.
It was finally Friday and they finished with their classes around twelve. Now they were out getting the stuff for after the game. They took the food back to the house and then came to the warehouse. Since Bri was only twenty, she dragged Cam along so she could use his ID. She would usually have liquor at home because her parents would buy it for her. But during the move all of what she had broke and she never restocked because she wasn't tripping.
"Girl don't rush me." He pushed the cart and grabbed two half gallons of Hennessy and a pint of green apple Crown Royal.
"Get two bottles of Don Julio." Bri said as she walked along the side of him.
"Which ones?" Cam looked down at her.
"One bottle of nineteen forty-two and Blanco."
Cameron reached up and grabbed both requested boxes of the brand. He pushed the cart along and they made made their way to front. Standing in line. Bri had managed to slide in front of Cam behind the buggy. That gave him the opportunity to brush up against her and whisper things into her ear. Cameron was bilingual so he said something in Spanish.
"Eres tan hermoso bebé puedo doblarte y saborearte?" Brielle eyes went wide and she looked up at him. He chuckled, because he thoughtshe didn't understand what he said, but in reality she did.
She turned around and smirked. "You want to taste me?"
"You understood what I said?" Shock was written all over Cameron's face.
Brielle laughed and nodded her head. "Yes, I speak two languages outside of English with Spanish being one of them."
"Since you understood what I said, you gonna let me do that?" Cameron licked his lips and tilted his head to the side.
"Maybe." Bri smirked and turned around.
"Next in line please!"
Brielle pushed the buggy forward and unloaded everything onto the counter.
"Did y'all find everything okay and ID please?" Cam pulled out his wallet and flashed his ID.
"Two hundred and fifty dollars and thirty-five cent is your total." Bri started to pull out her card but Cam popped her hand.
"Aht. Don't even think about it." He gave the cashier his card and Bri rolled her eyes picking up the boxes—holstering them in her arms. Cam retrieved his card and they walked out of the warehouse. Cameron opened the trunk to his Range and grabbed the boxes from Bri. She turned and opened the driver side door hopping in. She pushed the start button and pulled her seatbelt across her. Cam hopped in doing the same and she pulled out of the lot.
"I'm taking you home or to the field?"
"Field." Bri nodded her changing directions. Cameron sat back and connected his phone. Russian Cream x Key Glock came through the speakers.
Brielle instantly shook her head and looked over at him. "You just wanna get me started." She sat up in the seat and started rapping.
"I got big rocks jumpin' out my brand new Patek watch. Ice ice baby, uh-huh, I got a whole lot. Niggas you's a nobody, you ain't got no bodies. These niggas they know 'bout it, these niggas know 'bout me!" Do to the bass going through her, she increased her speed from the feeling.

"Aye! Yea get into it. Come on!" Cam leaned over the armrest hyping her up. She laughed and rapped the next part.
"Step up on the scene. Diamonds bling, these hoes scream. Checkerboard Louie V. I'm so fresh and so clean clean. Stuff them bands in my jeans. Slap them thirties in them things. Pull the trigger, let it sing. Then go smoke a Russian cream."
About thirty minutes later, Bri was pulling into the parking lot of the field house. She pulled around and parked. "You riding back with Jabari right? I'm leaving like at the last two minutes of the game."
Cam nodded his head and climbed out of the truck. He grabbed his duffle from the backseat and walked towards Bri side. She let the window and Cam leaned his head in—giving her a kiss. "You got enough gas?"
Bri looked at the gas hand and nodded her head. "Yes. I got enough to make it back to my house. I'll gas up on my way to the game."
Cam pulled out his wallet and pulled out a fifty. "Here." He held it up to Bri and she just stared at it.
"Girl if you don't take this money."
She shook her head. "No, I got it."
Cameron rolled his eyes and stuck the fifty in her shirt, making sure to cuff a titty in his hand. He brushed his fingers over her nipple and pulled his hand out. Bri blew out a breath and looked up at a smirking Cam.
"See you later beautiful." He kissed her again and walked off. Bri shook her head and pulled out of the lot. She stopped at a light and pulled out her phone. "Hey Siri, call Za'Keria with pink heart."
"Calling Za'Keria with pink heart." Bri sat the phone in her lap and pulled off. It rang about three times before she answered.
"Hello?"
"Where you at Keria?"
"About to pull in your driveway. Kai is like two hours behind me. She said she left as soon as she was done."
Nodding her head. "Okay. Pull your car in the garage and leave it open. Im driving Cam's truck and I need room for his and Kai's."
"Bitch stop playing! You driving the Range for real?"
Bri laughed. "Yes ma'am."
"Oop! Sced baby! So sced!"
"You a fool, but I'm like twenty minutes away. Take that big bag of wings out for me and put them in some water."
"Ok see you in a minute."
Brielle tapped the red icon and changed lanes. Exactly twenty minutes later she was pulling down her street. Stopping at the corner of her driveway she pulled opened her mail box retrieved what was inside and reversed down the long driveway. She parked and killed the engine before stepping out. Walking behind the truck popping the trunk open. She grabbed both boxes and entered the house through the garage door.
"Keria!" Bri yelled as she walked into the kitchen.
"Upstairs!"
Brielle sat the boxes on the counter and walked back outside. She grabbed her keys and bookbag along with her mail. She closed the garage and kicked her shoes off at the door picking them up walking in the house. With everything in her hand, she managed to make it upstairs. Throwing her mail on the dresser. Bri walked into her closet and hung up her bookbag. She tapped her apple watch.
"Okay it's four fifty. That means I got two and half hours to do what I gotta do." Bri stripped her sheets from her bed and threw them on floor. Walking out of her room, she went into the linen closet that was in the hallway and grabbed a fresh set of sheets. She made her bed and vacuumed her floor.

"Keria!" Bri walked into her bathroom and grabbed her plug-in refills from the cabinet and refilled each plug-in in her room.
"Yes?"
Bri looked up and saw Keria standing at the threshold. "Can you go make sure the guest room is straight?"
"Why? Who staying?"
"Cam's bestfriend, Jabari. We're drinking tonight so if he's too drunk to drive he's stay here."
Keria nodded her head and walked out. Bri finished cleaning her room and straighten up her bathroom. She added fresh towels and made sure the shower was cleaned. After making sure everything was situated upstairs, she made her way downstairs and swept the floor. Once doing so she straighten up the living room and made her way to the kitchen. She removed her apple watch along with her charm bracelet and washed her hands.
Bri cleaned and separated the chicken into a bowl before seasoning it. She placed a top on the bowl and placed it in the refrigerator. Hearing her alarm beep, she looked over her counter and saw Kai coming through the door. Bri looked up at the clock and shook her head. It was almost seven. I'll just shower when we get back I thought. She cleaned the counter off and placed each liquor bottle in the freezer.
"Wassup Bri?"
"Hey Kai, how was the shoot? What kind was it?" Bri looked up at her sister and clipped her charm bracelet back in her wrist along with her apple watch.
"It was a nice and it was a maternity shoot with this girl from campus."
Bri nodded her head. "That's good. You still doing hair on the side?"
"Yes. I'm either doing hair or taking pictures. No
in between and Cam must be here?"
Shaking her head no. "No, he's at the field."
"Wait— you're driving his truck?" Kailani drew her head back in shock.
"Yes ma'am."
Kailani shook her head. "Oh that nigga likes you fasho. Niggas don't let nobody drive their car. Where Keria?"
"Upstairs."
Kai grabbed her bags and headed for the stairs with Bri following suit. Once making it upstairs, Bri walked into her room and removed her shirt. She went into her closet and grabbed the jersey from the hanger and slid it over her head. When football season started, Cam was adamant about Bri wearing a jersey even if they were only friends at the time. Bri was skeptical because she didn't like unwanted attention but eventually she accepted it.
The jersey was white with blue and red accent. It had 'Hayes' stitched on the back with the number five on the front and back of the jersey. Since she had on black ripped jeans, she grabbed a black jean jacket to match and her retro ones top three.
"I know you fucking lying! This bitch got a jersey."
Brielle jumped and saw her sisters standing behind her. "What I tell y'all about sneaking up on me?"
"Girl forget all that." Kai waved her hand out.
"Let's get into this jersey. Let me find out I need to start planning a wedding." Za'Keria was stretched across Bri's bed with her face propped up on her hand.
Bri laughed and shook her head. "I'm not about to play with y'all."
"No, we're not about to play with you."
Bri shook her head and sat down in a chair she had in her room. She brought her left leg into her lap and pulled her shoe on. Grabbing the other shoe, she repeated the same step with the right leg. Standing up she walked into her bathroom. She washed her faced and brushed her teeth before walking out. Bri pulled the jean jacket on and sprayed some perfume on. Rubbing some lip gloss across her lips, she grabbed her phone and keys off the dresser being that her wristlet was already in the car.
"Y'all ready? Last one turn the light off please." Bri turned on her hell heel and walked downstairs with her sisters following behind.
Once making it downstairs, she turned on her alarm and made sure everything was off before going out of the front door. After making it outside she hit the key pad to unlock the truck and the trio slid in. With Keria in the passenger seat and Kai in the back behind Bri. Pulling the seatbelt across her, Bri pushed the start button and drove out of her driveway.
"How you connect to this?" Keria was leaning up messing with the radio.
Bri reached into the cup holder and passed Keria her phone. "Use my phone. It should already be connected."
"Girl all this nigga music." Keria frowned looking at over at Bri.
Kai leaned over the console. "I know you not surprised. This is Bri we talking about here."
"Both of y'all can kiss my ass."
"I'll leave that to Cameron." Kai turned her face up playfully and sat back in the seat. Keria snickered. Bri shook her head and pulled into a gas station. She pulled around to a free pump and parked. Killing the engine. She grabbed her wristlet and pulled out a Benjamin.
"One of y'all go pay for sixty dollars worth of gas." Bri held up the bill and Kailani grabbed it. Before she stepped out, she looked back at Bri.
"You want anything? And Keria come with me."
"You already know what I want and this pump five."
Bri popped the gas tank open and stepped out. She removed the top and grabbed some paper towel picking up the nozzle. Placing it inside. She looked around to observe her surroundings. She seen two hellcats full of niggas pull up. "Lord not today."
Looking up at the pump, she saw that it was almost finished which she was thankful for. Brielle looked at the door and saw her sisters walking out with cups in their hands. She heard the click and turned around removing the nozzle placing it back in the pump.
"Damn they fine."
"Aye, excuse me!"
"Nah. Look at the one at the pump. She thick as a muthafucka. Ayo ma!"
Bri shook her head and climbed into the drivers seat. She pushed the start button and pulled her seatbelt across her. Her sisters opened their doors and climbed in. Kai leaned up placed Bri's green apple slush in the cup holder.
"Gas station niggas just don't quit." Bri pulled out of the gas station getting back on the interstate. "When y'all homecoming?"
"Next week and we're booked and busy. I got a homecoming special going on." Keria opened her phone and scrolled through her appointments.
Kai leaned up. "Yup! That's why we decided to come this weekend because we knew we wouldn't be able to next week end. I'm requested to take pictures for like four parties."
Bri nodded her head and changed lanes. "That's understandable."
"When y'all homecoming?" Keria looked up from her phone and glanced at Bri.
"I think it's the week after y'all's." Bri got off her exit and took a left at the stop light.
"I think you right because this girl from here booked with me. So I'll back in two weeks."
Bri glanced at Keria. "I hope you're charging extra for a traveling fee."
"Oh yes ma'am. Gas is not cheap."
About five minutes later they were pulling into the parking lot of the school's stadium. The game hasn't even started yet and the parking was atrocious. Bri circled the parking lot twice looking for a park.
"Right there Bri!" Kai yelled pointed to a open too far from front gate. Bri quickly pulled up and reversed into the spot. She eased on back until the sensors beeped. She killed the engine and threw her seatbelt off. Grabbing her phone and keys, she made sure her student ID was in her wristlet before getting it out. She grabbed her slush and shut the door. She waited on her sister before walking towards the ticket booth.
"Don't worry about y'all tickets. I got it." Once making it to the booth, Bri showed her student ID and payed for her sisters.
"Girl hollon! These niggas fine." Keria was looking as they walked down the steps.
Kai frowned."Bitch not you being loud."
Bri shook her head as they bickered back and forth. They eventually found some seats. Bri was seating at the top wishlist K and K was siting in front of her on the bench below.
"Bri what time the game start?"
Bri looked down at her watch. "Kickoff is in like two minutes."
"Goodevening ladies and gentlemen! It's Friday night football and we're happy to have you all here tonight. We have our fellow bulldogs and our opponent Texas Southern Tigers. Y'all ready to play some ball? It's kickoff time!"
"Oh he's country as hell." Keria laughed and shook her head.
Kai turned and looked at her. "Bitch we do live in Texas."
Keria fanned at her. "Girl boo."
"And the kick is recovered!"
"Bri what that mean?"
Bri laughed and looked down at Kai. "That means a player from kicking team recovered after it traveled ten yards."
"You know this because?" Keria tilted her head to the side.
"Because football is her favorite sport."
With five minutes left in the second quarter, the bulldogs were down by five. They were getting ready to run a play. Jabari, who was the quarterback was in position. Squatting with his hands under his teammate.
"Set! Hut! Blue forty two! Blue forty two! Hike!"
The ball shot from under and Jabari caught it. He stepped back flexing his elbow faking a throw to the right, but instead he threw it to the left. Cameron was wide open in the left hand corner, he caught the ball and took off running. Juking players left and right. Bri jumped up and started yelling.
"Come Cameron! Let's go!"
"Touchdown! Number five, Cameron Hayes with the hundred yard dash!" And the crowd went wild. The bulldogs was set in place to kick the field goal. The punter or kicker ran forward and drew his leg out kicking the football. The ball went through and the referee raised his flag. The kick was good and that puts the score at 18-15. It was now halftime.
"Y'all want something from the concession stand?" Keria asked both of sisters as she stood up.
"Get me a water and some nachos." Bri reached to pull her wristlet open but she was stopped.
Keria shook her head. "I got it. Come on Kai."
"Ugh bitch why I gotta go?" She stood up and followed behind Keria.
Bri sipped what was left of her slush and sat the cup down. She felt eyes on her, so she looked around until her eyes landed on the culprit that was looking directly at her. She shook her head and looked away. Bri only had eyes for one person. I guess he thought that was a invitation for him to walk over. He stood up and made his way up the steps sitting beside Bri, leaving a gap. She scooted over causing him to chuckle.
"Wassup. What's yo name?"
"Sasha."
He licked his lips. "Well Sasha, I'm Javan. Can I get yo number?"
Bri well Sasha shook her head. "No. I'm not interested."
He drew his head back and laughed. "Damn. What you got a boyfriend?"
"In fact yes."
"I can respect that. See you." He stood up and walked away.
Bri shook her head. It's like people pull out a relationship radar and follow the beep. Bri didn't understand that, because you didn't approach me before so why wait until I'm in a relationship to do so. "Damn I'm only a week in."
"What you talking about? Why you talking to yourself?" Bri jumped and looked up at her sisters. Kai passed her water and nachos to her.
"This boy just asked for my number."
"For real? What you say?" Keria scooted back and sat between Bri's legs eating her candy.
"I said I wasn't interested and that I have a boyfriend."
"How he react?" Kai was looking down at the field watching both teams stretch and rehydrate.
"Respectful."
It was now the fourth quarter with ten minutes left and the bulldogs were up by eighteen. Setting the score at 28-10. Cameron has managed to score 8 touchdowns out of the score. "Personal foul, number five Cameron Hayes at the fifteen yard line."
Bri hopped up. "Come on Ref! That was a bad call and you know it!
"Girl left me find out you're about to be a football wife." Kai shook her head. Both Kai and Keria were in awe at how Brielle was showing her support. They thought it was cute and they enjoyed seeing her happy.
Laughing, Bri looked down. "Not all. Y'all ready?"
"Yea but why we leaving early?"
"I gotta cook and traffic is about to get bad so come on." Brielle stuffed her phone in her back pocket and made sure her wristlet was intact before grabbed her trash. She walked out of the bench she sitting on and jogged up the steps.
"Girl that booty big."
