"Your little friend left these here for you." My momma said as I walked in the house coming from class.

I mugged the banquet of roses and the card that was with it.

"Ma the next time he come here, slam the door in his face." I told her cause why he so comfortable just pulling up here.

"Girl I don't know about that cause look." She swung this black YSL purse back and forth with a smile on her face.

"He got you that?"

"Yes! And he gave me some money."

"He's so weirdddd." I dragged my words opening the card that was with the roses.

'Get out yo feelings and get ready cause I'm picking you up at eight.'

There was a few hundred dollar bills in the card as well, but money don't move me. I been having that.

"You need to give that back to his stupid ass."

I don't even like him right now. He must of thought I forgot about what happened at that pool party, it may not be that deep— but if he sees I feel some type of way— he should've apologized.

"Just cause y'all into it don't got nothing to with me bookie!"

"You didn't even like him when you met him." I furrowed my eyebrows at her.

"But I like him now. Matter fact I'm off tomorrow, invite my new son in law over for dinner."

"Jd is your son in law."

"Jd who?"

"Ma stop playing." I frowned.

"That nappy headed nigga ain't my son in law." She said while walking off.

I threw the card and roses in the garbage— he must of thought that was gone change how i'm feeling about him at the moment.

But ima still be ready at eight

"Who helped you set this up?" I looked around at Milo's house that's was decorated very nicely— candles, more roses, and the table was set up with all these different types of food.

I just know his unromantic ass ain't do this on his own.

"Yo momma."

"No her bald headed ass didn't." I looked at him with a straight ass face. Not her working with the opps!

"Ask her."

"What she cooked all this food too?"

"She found a chef."

I pulled out my phone to send her a nice lil message. That lady tripping, plotting on me with my enemies and shit.

"Sit down. Yo ass just standing there." Milo said and i walked towards the table.

"Why'd you do this?" I asked him. This was very weird for him to do being that we just "friends." My man never even did this before.

"I felt like it."

"Usually people only do this for somebody they care about." I told him.

"Exactly."

I was lowkey smiling on the inside cause that meant he cared for me but he had a strange way of showing it.

I watched him the whole time he was making our plates, this man is literally soooo fine!

"You hear me?" He said making me snap out of the little daze I was in.

"Nah what you said?"

"Your food?" He said in more of a questioning tone, I looked down and seen my plate was fully loaded and sitting right in front me. "Thanks."

We started eating in a awkward silence. This was too weird for me, I just needed to speak.

"Wanna talk about something?"

"Not really."

"The energy you giving off is weird."

Nigga invited me here just to act uninterested.

"We eating? What you want me to do? Get up and dance?"

I stared at him for a while before just looking down at my food and continuing to eat.

Once I finished my food, I got up to put the plate in the sink and I went to sit down in the living room— not too long after that, he did the same.

He turned the tv on and started playing a game on his ps4 and that irritated the hell out of me.

I expected to come over here and get my assed kissed but this is the complete opposite.

I was literally so confused as to why he would set all this up, then when I get here— act as if I'm not even here.

Like why aren't we feeding each other chocolate covered strawberries or something.

After sitting there for almost thirty minutes and getting fed up, I got up and walked to his door.

"Where you going?" He stood up quickly, coming towards me.

"I'm going home." I opened the door and it was quickly slammed back shut.

"Why? What's wrong?"

"This—" I pointed back and forth between us, "Is the most attention I've gotten from you since I been here. Why did you bring me here and do all this just to ignore me!"

"You ain't say nothing so how am I ignoring you?"

"I asked you fifthteen minutes ago for a blanket cause I was cold."

"You did? Not uhn."

"Yes I did and this is my point. You supposed to me showing me attention. Then when I speak to you, you acting like you don't wanna speak."

"That's how I act to everybo—"

"I'm not everybody." I cut him off with the quickness. I hate when people include me in "everybody." My name is Jisele!

"I'm sorry."

"Sorry don't cut it for me. I've heard that too many times, it don't mean shit."

"So what do you want?"

"Some head will do."
