"Hey."I said to Jean as I walked up to the table her was sitting at.

"Good afternoon."he said while getting up and giving me a hug.

I hugged him back before sitting down.

He sat down and he did also.

"How you doing?"he asked me while sipping from the glass of water he had.

"I'm doing good, how about yourself?"

"I'm aight. I like them lil earrings you got on."

"Oh thank you."

"You be puttin' that shit on."he nodded while smirking.

"I do!?"

"Hell yeah maybe you can match my fly in the future."he said and I chuckled.

"What you know about matching fly!?"I asked him as I looked through the menu.

"What you know about being fly!? Who taught you that?"he asked me.

"I get it from my daddy."

"Oh word? Where he at?"

"He's incarcerated."

"Where mama at?"

"Hi I'm Sarah, your waitress for the day. What can I start you off to drink with?"

"I'll have a strawberry lemonade."I said.

"I'll have a sweet tea and you mind bringing another glass of water?"

"No I don't. Are we all ready to order food?"

"You ready?"he asked me and I nodded.

We both ordered our full before the waitress left.

"What were we talking about again?"I asked him.

"Where mama at?"

"She's incarcerated also."

"If you don't mind me asking, why are they both incarcerated?"

"Drug trafficking, they're doing time in the feds for it now."

"Ion mean to make you go into detail but what are their names?"

"Fir— hold up, are you some kind of detective? What do you do?"

"Nah I ain't no detective."he laughed and I just looked at him.

"Okay so what do you do!?"

"I own my own business."

"What kind of business!?"

"Money business, don't worry about that."

"Okay if you're gonna keep living in the dark, ima just go. It's no point in us edging this on if we're not getting anywhere."I said while grabbing my purse and getting up.

"Hold up hold up, I'm just playing with you girl! Sit back down."he said and mugged him before sitting back down.

"Calm down shawty, I told you I'm just fucking around with you."

"Who you talking to first of all!?"

"Chill out."he said while looking around.

"Don't tell me to chill out 'cause you pissing me off!"

"Aight my bad, I apologize."he said while touching my hand.

"Don't touch me either, rough ass hands."I said and he laughed.

"I told you, it's from counting so much paper."he said and I rolled my eyes.

He chuckled, "Aight I own my own strip club and do a lil some on the side."

"Why you couldn't say that from jump?"I asked him as I fanned myself.

He was making me hot with this damn long sleeve turtle neck on.

"'Cause most females ain't too comfortable talking to a nigga who owns a strip club, you might've thought I would ask you to work for me."

"Why would I do that and I have my own shit going on?"

"That don't mean shit, you still would've declined."

"Maybe I would've but don't be keeping shit like that from me and what's on the side that you do?"

"Some shit you ain't gotta worry about."

"Here you go."I said while watching the waitress as she sat our food down.

"I promise you what I'm doing on the side ain't none illegal but it ain't got nothing to do with you or anybody else."

"Okay ima take yo word on that but you better hope and pray that it ain't none that's gone get me in trouble or put in danger."

"It ain't, trust."he said and I nodded before we began eating.

"Baby!?"Shiesty called out to me as he walked into my room from the bathroom.

"Yea?"

"What's that nigga name who was at Kodi's lil get together?"

"Which one? You keep asking me that but you're not being specific!"

"The one that was wearing that beige cap."

"Mmcht. I don't know."I said and he looked at me like quit lying.

"I'm serious, ask her since you wanna know so bad."

"I'm asking you 'cause that's yo cousin and I feel like you should know!"

"Well I don't fucking know!"

"Let me see yo phone."

"No the fuck, you ain't gone find him up in here."

"You gotta know his name or some."

"I don't know anything, that's Kodi's friend not mines."

"Mmcht aight I'll be back."he said and I rolled my eyes while watching him walk out and close the door.

"Come open the fucking door!!!"I yelled.

I heard the front door close and I got up and ran to it.

"Don't fucking come back since you got a fucking attitude."I yelled out of the door before closing the door and locking it.

I went back to my room and fell asleep.
