Her face appeared back on the screen "Okay Dom, I'll see you in a bit."

"Please be ready when I get there."

She smiled before hanging up as my phone took me back to Snapchat. I closed all my apps locking my phone. I got off of my bed walking out of my room, down the hall to Dominque's room. The door was opened revealing her sprawled out on the bed with her iPad in her hands with a pissed off face.

"Yo, Nique."

"What?" She answered not looking at me

"Get dressed, I'm taking you next door."

"Why?" She set her iPad down looking at me

"Cus I'm going somewhere and mommy doesn't like you alone in the house. Tyler's mom willing to watch you."

"Man whatever, get out."

I chuckled walking out of my room and into mine, looking for something to wear in my closet.

"You good?" I asked her as she started putting on her seat belt

She looked over at me and smiled, nodding slowly. I did the same, putting the car in drive heading down the block. There was a tranquil silence amongst us both but I felt a vibe coming from her. I peered at her through my peripheral and saw her tapping through a bunch of random people Snapchat stories. The most familiar faces I saw were Kylie Jenner, Kae, myself and Trinity but she swiped out of her story completely. Her body got tense as she clenched her jaw.

"What do you want to eat?" I asked keeping my eyes on the road glancing at her for a second

She locked her phone and shrugged looking ahead "I dunno."

"Don't say you don't know and when I pull up to a place you don't lik-"

"Olive garden." She said quickly cutting me off

I chuckled shaking my head "Your wish is my command."

'''

"You're lying!" I said in disbelief laughing

"I'm so dead ass Dominic! Yo I put that on everything, I slipped and fell on my neck and I swore I saw the light until my mother slapped my ass back to consciousness."

I threw my head back and erupted in laughter, not caring if I'm too loud or not. The Olive Garden was pretty empty and surprisingly, there weren't that many white folks giving us a tight screw since we're far away from the hood, so I'm chillin'.

"She was like 'get yo' ass up 'for I give you sum to cry about'. I was so scared I thought she was gonna knock my ass out herself and make me see the light again!"

"I'm dead," I said I said taking a sip of my pink lemonade

She smiled and started ripping pieces off of the breadstick "Are you doing anything for new years?"

"Nah, why?" I asked as the waiter came over with our food

"Because I think Khalil throwing a party for New Years. It's a small get together in a studio apartment in Times Square that overlooks where the ball would be dropping."

"Oh shit, that sounds lit. I never knew Khalil was throwing a party."

"Enjoy your meal."

"Thank you." We said simultaneously

"He just brought it to my attention yesterday. Don't ask how he managed to afford that shit cus I would like to know myself."

I was about to tear this shrimp alfredo up, no funny shit. "I'm with it, you want me to be your date there?"

"If you don't mind." She said twirling her pasta around her fork

I shrugged "I don't mind, sounds lit."

"So what we doin' today?"Jasmine asked

I wanted to know what we were gonna do today myself. Jasmine and I have been in this living room doing nothing for like three hours straight. I would ask China to hang but it is the day after Christmas and she's most likely spending time with her family.

"I don't know, what are you up to?"

"Man, it's too fuckin' cold out hea to be doing anything." She kissed her teeth and got up heading towards the kitchen "And it's not like we got a whip so we can go anywhere we want. We gotta take a stink ass bus or train." She continued

"Jasmine I don't know what to tell you. Everybody is doing their own thing and it's too much of a hassle to be going outside taking public transportation."

"Is your father home? Maybe he can give us the keys to his car." She yelled from the kitchen

"I don't think so, I'm gonna go check," I replied back getting up from the pillow fort Jasmine and I made out of boredom

As soon as I started walking over to the window that has a view of the driveway, Jasmine followed right behind me with a pack of fruit snacks. She and I pushed the blinds out of the way simultaneously.

"What the hell?" She said

We both looked at each other in confusion "Who's car is parked in my driveway?" I asked aloud mostly to myself

She shrugged as I started staring at the car. It was my dream car actually, and I started getting really skeptical about this whole situation. I walked away from the window and over to the front door, sliding on my Ugg boots.

"What are you doing?" Jasmine asked watching my every move intently

"I'm gonna check who's car is in my driveway," I said simply opening the door

"Girl quit playing 'for you catch pneumonia!" I heard her yell at me as I continued walking out the door

Let me find out my father brought someone home and left their car in the driveway. Just rude.

I walked to the other side of my house because the driveway gate was locked. I walked through my backyard and then up the driveway where the car was parked. It looked brand new and there wasn't a spec of snow on the surface at all. I started circling around the car genuinely confused.

This car couldn't have been here yesterday because it snowed.

"Ooh look, there's a note inside sitting on the dashboard!"Jasmine exclaimed pressing her face against the glass "The keys are in the barbecue grill." She read aloud

She looked up at me as I looked right back at her. We both raced down the driveway into my backyard over to the brand new grill that hasn't been used yet. I lift opened the top and saw car keys just sitting there, with a black puff ball on it. I picked them up, slowly closing the grill lid.

"Oh shit, it's fucking lit!" Jasmine yelled looking up in the sky "Thank you for answering my calls lawd!"

I kept staring at it, overwhelmed "I'm scared. I feel like someone parked a bait car in my damn driveway!"

"Bitch, go open the car and see what the note say," Jasmine said with her mouth tightened

I kissed my teeth and walked passed her going back up the driveway to the car. I pressed the unlock button as the car chirped and the lights flashed. We both ran over to the car and got in swiftly. I picked the note from off of the dashboard, unfolding it.

"That looks like your father's handwriting."

"Why in the world you know how my father's handwriting look like?" I asked looking over at her

She made a face "Stop acting like you don't remember when I skillfully forged his signature when you forget to get your permission slip signed in sixth grade."

"True." Was all I said "Merry Christmas baby girl! I hope this was the one you wanted. You deserve it, love daddy." I said reading the note aloud

"Which daddy are we talkin' bout now?" She asked smirking

"Shut up," I said chuckling

"It's so lit." She said resting her head on the head rest looking at me "Well, we gonna take this for a spin or what?"

"Yeah we about to get something to eat," I said getting out of the car

She did the same as I locked the car doors. We both headed down the driveway, through the backyard, entering the house from the backdoor with the spare key.

"I'm feeling for some Italian," Jasmine said kicking off her boots by the door as I did the same

"Olive Garden it is. I'm gonna take a quick shower so be ready to jump in right after me."

"Yeah okay, I just can't wait for them breadsticks." She said rubbing her hands together exiting out of the kitchen
