Days Later
"Jayceon need to come get his pet" Mali said as he mugged River. As usual, these two were bickering and fighting. "Zari need to come collect her white ass boyfriend" River responded with a smirk. "Luh girl ian white, witcho crooked ass, yellow ass teeth. Look like you been eating rocks yo whole life"
"Nigga you whatever color yo daddy is, therefore you French, which is white so yo ass need to stop saying nigga, nigga" River rolled her neck and made the ugliest facial expression ever. "Shut the fuck up frog. Go leap yo ass off a cliff" he responded mugging her.
Today was the perfect weather for a walk, so that's exactly what we were doing. It was still kind if early in the day, barely 12 o'clock.
I was temporarily living at Stephany's till the apartment is in the clear, and all the fumes are Air'ed out. We scheduled for me to go back today if everything turns out good.
"Yo MJ who's that" River questioned. I turned my attention to who she was talking about and seen a dude walking or way. "Ayo y'all go in that alley" he spoke in a rushed voice.
"no, what's going on," I said in confusion. It was still daylight, and this was actually gonna happen? This was a good neighborhood, crimes never really happened, so it caught us all by surprise. This proves the point you ain't really safe anywhere.
"Zarianna move" he shouted, as the dude reached in his pants. River grabbed my hand and dragged me to the alley.
"River we gotta go ba-"
"bitch are you crazy" she whispered
Gunshots fired, and automatically I thought the worst. I just wanted to know everything was fine, and to go home. Early on my mood was ruined.
Reasons like this I hated that Malachi's dad made him a target. Everybody who wanted his dad would come for Malachi if they couldn't get him. Sure, he taught him how to protect himself, but what if there's a case when there's 10 on 1? What would he do then?
"Zari stop crying, he's fine," River said rubbing my back.
"River move," I said warning her. Too many emotions, we're going through my head at once, and I didn't want to spazz on her. My head pounded, and a wave of nausea flooded through my body.
"calm down Ya breathing before yo ass have a asthma attack"
Twenty minutes had passed and we were still waiting. No sign of Malachi, and the streets we're silent, except for some occasional police sirens.
Soon we heard footsteps, and our body laid still. River grabbed my hand, and I laid my head on her shoulder. "aye its me" I looked up and seen Malachi, I huge grin inched on my face as I wrapped my arms around him.
"I know you wasn't crying"
"I wasn't," I said putting my hand on my hip.
"Man what I tell you"
"Crying is for Punks, and ian no punk" I mumbled.
"nah say it louder"
"Crying is for punks, and ian no punk" I said louder
"ight den"
"what took you so long" River Questioned
"Dont worry bout allat' Juss know im here"
No matter how Curious River and I got, We'd never receive an actual answer. He kept that part of him a secret, and it Intrigued us even more. He never talked about his dad, I was as clueless as everybody in the streets were. I couldn't blame him thought, he didn't really know about my mom either. We'd get into that one day- but that one day isn't today.
"I'm hungry"
"Bitch we almost died, and yo ass was just crying, and you talking bout sum you hungry" River said rolling her eyes.
"Bitch leave me alone I'm pregnant"
"You'll rob a bank, and ya' excuse will be I'm pregnant" she said making a dumb face, and mocking me. She wasn't wrong though, that was my excuse for everything. I could do that thought- cos I'm pregnant.
"We ain't even get to the stop sign before some shit happen" Malachi mumbled as we turned into his driveway. This time we were spending the night at his house. Us three were always together, and at each others houses literally every chance we got. We were line the Ying, Yang, and Yeng Triplets.
He unlocked the front door with his key, and slid his shoes under the couch. River and I follow him upstairs, and sat on the bed.
"I kinda want some grapes"
"you ate em' all this morning"
"are you tryna call me fat" I spoke mugging River.
"If the shoes fits then wear that bitch until it crease-then take that hoe off"
"Hm Jayceon still ain't text you back" I said with a smirk on my face.
"Fuck you"
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Later That Day.
" I'm not tryna get outta shape, and I can't loose my ability to dance" I explained grabbing my speaker. I searched the song on YouTube, while River and Malachi sat on the pavement. We were in his backyard where his basketball goal was located.
Pulled up in a drop top Benz
Hit the horn two times
And you walked outside
Mhm just keep huggin them thighs
And the only thing in my mind in Mhm
I want you, yes I do
If there's anything you suggest I do
Come tell me
"This dance is um-" River started to say before he cut her off.
"Damn"
" I ain't know you could do the splits while pregnant" River said laughin. "Y'all interrupted my dancing, now shut up"
Now we all in my crib, on the sofa
Girl I'm so glad you came over
I wanna tell you to come closer
But I don't know if you feel-
How I I feel
Tell me girl i
Don't it feel good when I touch up on it
Wouldn't it be nice if all night-
"Ight you still got the ability, you can't stop now" Malachi said turning off my speaker.
"I was just getting to the good part" I said snatching my speaker from his hand.
"You gone give this boy a case of the blue balls" River said laughing like it was the funniest thing in the world.
"Anyways I'm hungry"
"Bitch you just ate"
"Okay well I'm pregnant"
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Hours Later.
"No don't go to sleep, stay up" I told Malachi. It was around 2 in the morning, and everybody was sleep except for us. River's loud ass snores filled the room, and drool marks were all over her face.
"Nah go to sleep" he said wrapping his arm around around me.
"I'm not sleepy"
"Close ya eyes" he put his hands over my eyes, and forced them to close.
"I'm not sleepy" I repeated, moving his hand.
"Li'Asia go to sleep" I rolled my eyes at the fact he addressed me by my second middle name.
"No"
"Hard headed ass"
" If I got to sleep, you gone make me blue berry waffles" I questioned, laying my head on his chest. The sound of his heartbeat mad any eyes heavy.
"Yeh mama" he lifted up my shirt, and his hand rested on stomach.
"Wait I'm hungry" I said attempting to sit up.
"Go to sleep"
I smacked my lips, and laid back down.
