"You're so fucking lucky I spotted your shit in the damn glove compartment, nigga, you could've gotten arrested." Michael said to me as we got back in the car and the officer was walking away.

"You would've gotten arrested too!" I responded

"Okay, that doesn't make the situation any better." He responded.

I sucked my teeth and shook my head, "Whatever, Jar Jar. Let's go."

"Did you just call me Jar Jar?" He asked

"D-Did I-I S-S-Stutter?" I responded.

He playfully punched me and I laughed,

"I hate you." He said.

"I hate you more." I said.

I just got home from work when I got a call from Kimetrius. I wonder what that nigga wants.

"Hello?"

"Stokeley." He said.

"Yes, Kim?" I responded nonchalantly.

"We need to talk." Kim says, "You been acting real frickin stupid lately." He says.

"How the fuck have I been acting stupi-"

"Hey! Don't cuss, you piece of shit. Just come over and I'll tell you how you've been acting like a bitch, bitch." He says cutting me off then hanging up.

This man Kimetrius confuses me sometimes. Well, I thought today was going to be a relax but I have to be lectured by Kimetrius I guess.

I make my way over to Kim and go to knock on the door but it swings open before I can even touch the door,

"How you know I was about to knock on the door?" I asked walking inside.

"I don't know, I just had a feeling you was about to knock so I opened the door." He said shrugging, "But we ain't talking about that right now."

"What is it you want to talk about?" I asked.

"You know EXACTLY why you're here for, Stokeley. We need to talk about Jahseh." He says. When he aid his name I felt a sensation in my chest that made me shiver for some reason.

"Oh..um. What about him?" I asked.

"I know you want Jah." He says crossing his arms.

"No I don't.." I said scratching the back of my head.

"Yes you fucking do. I know you do." Kim says walking over to the couch and sitting down, patting beside him for me to come sit next to him. I go over and sit next to him.

"I don't like him, Kim." I lied.

"Swear on your life." Kim says.

"Okay you're taking it too far now." I say

"Only because you're lying to me." Kim responds.

"But I thought you and Jahseh had some... thing for each other." I said.

He looked at me for a minute and bursted out laughing, I looked at him weirdly.

"Stokeley, no. I just did that so you're dumbass would hurry up and say you like Jah. But you just HAD to tell him you didn't like him earlier, huh?"

"So..you and Jahseh don't have anything going on?" I asked.

He puts his hand on his chin, "I mean Jah and I did fuck one time.." he says.

My eyes widened, I slap his arm.

"Are you for real?" I basically yell

"I'm just fucking around with you." Kim says laughing once again, holding the spot I hit him. I rolled my eyes and sighed.

"Soooo.. you ready to tell the truth?" Kim says childishly. I sighed and said nothing.

"Look, you know Jahseh likes you." Kim says suddenly, I look up at him. "He often talks to me about how much he likes you and wishes he was bold enough to let you know. When you said that you didn't like him earlier you..kinda hurt him." He continued.

I was going to tell Jahseh I liked him. I really was. But when Kim was there and Michael was there and Michael asking to come on Jahseh's trip with him and Jahseh allowing it made me feel a certain way. And when I was about to tel him, I said something about his hair. And not to mention, I said that I didn't like him. And I really regret saying that.

"Yeah..I'm stupid for saying that." I admitted.

Kim patted me on the back, "Yeah. You are." He says.

"But, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt, Stokeley. You can still tell him." Kim suggests.

"How?"

"The fuck do you mean 'how?' When he comes back in a few weeks, I want you to tell him that you made a mistake saying that you didn't like him, and that you actually do." He says.

"Okay..but how do you know it will all go alright? I might fuck up." I said.

"Jahseh says I'm psychic, I don't believe him. I think it's just senseless guessing. But I know you won't." He says shrugging.

"You know Kim, I think you should get a job as a psychic." I said.

He rolls his eyes and groans, "Ugh, not you too."

"Are we there yet?" Michael asked for like the hundredth time.

"I told you, we are here." I said putting the car in park near a bunch of houses. "I just have to call Kentrell."

I pulled out my phone and facetimed him, he answered almost immediately.

"Y'all here?" He said

"Okay. Come to the white house." He said. I look up and see that all the houses are white.

"Nigga all the houses are white, be more specific." I said.

"Okay, smartass. Let me ask Nick, with yo gay ass." He said.

"At least my lips not burnin, bitch." I responded.

"I hate you, you fag." He responds.

"I love you too." I responded.

He hands the phone over to Nick, and I immediately see that big ass smile he has. "Hey Jahseh." He says. "The house number is 618. I'll be standing outside." I nodded and started the car.

"Jah, you said you was bringing Michael? Why haven't I seen a picture yet." Nick said. I looked over at Michael and handed the phone over to him.

"Nigga damn. You look like Satan in human form. Them dreads nice as fuck." Nick says.

"Thank you." Michael responded.

As their getting acquainted, I see Nick's little pencil stick ass standing beside the road. I pull up near him and he has that cheesy smile as usual. It great to see him again, I haven't seen them in so long. I roll down the window.

"What's up, fuckers!" He says peeking his head through.

I smile at him and unbuckle, "Why do you have my phone?"

"Fuck you, that's why." He responds.

"Nah, why do you have MY phone, ding dong." Kentrell suddenly come up and snatches his phone away.

"I'm just calling some pharmacies and seeing if they have any ointments for herpes, that's all. I'm jut looking out for you, cousin." Nick says.

"I'm really finna fuck you up." Kentrell says trying to grab Nick but he runs away in time. Resulting in Kentrell chasing Nick around like a cat and dog.

"Jahseh! Hey! Oh, you must be Michael." Cordae says coming up to the car. "Jahseh told us about you. You gonna marry him yet?" Cordae asks. I see Michael's face turn bright red as I get out of the car.

"No ones marrying anyone, Cordae." I said. I look over and see Nick trying to defend himself as Kentrell tries to beat him up in the grass.

"Whatever, Jah. But if you are getting married, I'm maid of honor." He says.

"I don't think it would still be 'maid' of honor, if you're a guy." Michael says.

"Yeah. It'd probably be groom of honor." I suggested.

"Well excuse me, I've never been married before." Cordae says chuckling.

I go to the back of the car and get all the things we brought and we head inside
