After doing my morning routine I start to cook my self some breakfast. As I though about the past couple months me and Dream been good. Ma finally moved down here after a month of us staying.

As I got ripped out of my thoughts by my phone ringing from a FaceTime call from Dream.

"Hey Nuni what you doing ?"

"Nothing making me some breakfast."

"Oh well when you gone talk to Sain? You know he been trynna get at you."

"Girl wtf and why would I do that?"

"Because you playing hard to get, knowing he wants you. He ask about you and ask why you don't come around. He haven't saw you in 4 months."

"Bitch stfu for one no he has hoes and where there's hoes there's drama. Dream I'm focused on my coins not a nigga who gone bring me problems."

"Bitch okay you ain't never lied on that one."

"Okay well I guess I can come when ever the next time y'all link."

"Well in that case get ready Hoe I'm on my way , & yes bitch I'll pick you up a frappe ."

"You know me so well love you muah."

FaceTime ended

As I finished cooking the rest of my breakfast then I grabbed a bowl with a lid to but my breakfast in. As I hurried off and got dressed I get a text message from Dream saying her crazy ass is outside.

As I lock up the house and get in our car I just looked at Dream and mugged her because she been trying to get me to hang with them just so Sain can bother me.

"Bitch don't even, just give me my drink thank you." As she drove off from our apartment.  "Girl bout time yo mean as coming over his house." Dream said as I rolled my eyes.

"Yeah Bitch whatever."

"Girl listen I'm not saying let your guard down all the way but at least talk to him Nuni."

"Bitch whatever." As we pulled up to his crib we get out and say the code to get in. Soon as we came in everybody just stared at me like it was something on my face.

"Wtf y'all staring at?"

"Girl sit your ass down." Lane said pulling me to the couch. "Hey Bestie what you been up to?" He said.

"Minding my business. But not frl just chillen really staying out the way." As I just looked on my phone texting ma."

"Damn ma so you finally came huh?" Sain said making me mug him.

"I can leave cause best believe there's no problem."

"Man get tf out then bitch." He said as I got up. "Gladly bitch." Walking towards the door he came up to me turning me around to face him.

"Bruh what up with you ." He said while choking me not hard but hard enough for me to stay. "Bruh get yo rat ass off me." As I made him let go of me as I started to walk outside getting a Uber.

"Bruh stop playing, what you doing." Sain said now yelling at me. "Bruh don't fucking yell at me, why can't you take a hint that I don't want you." As I tried to walk away from him but he just pulled me back.

"Ma stop Im not gone hurt you just give me a chance, you different." He said as I rolled my eyes. "I know you want me in a way I can't tell but you got a wall up." As he pulled me to his car and told me to get in the passenger side.

I got in just to see what he wanted, because I don't know if I can trust him. "Ma you gotta stop doing me like that and give me a chance."

"Why." As he just gave me a blank look.

"I'm out, bye." As I tried to get out but nope this bitch ass nigga grabbed me again.

"Let's chill tonight here at my place and I can prove it." I rolled my eyes and just stared at him. "Everybody can be here ofc, just so you can feel safe." I still stared at him. "I'm sorry for calling you a bitch ma, you was just making me mad. I didn't mean to scare you."

"Okay fine." As I just stayed quiet thinking to my self what if I let my guard down what if he look at me different and my bestfriend. But what it would hurt to try I thought to my self. "What you thinking about ma. I can tell you thinking deep." He said making me snap out of all my thoughts.

"I don't want to talk about it." As I looked away thinking about the worse thing that happen to me. That made me come here and be here at this moment.

"Okay i won't force you to but you can talk to me when ever, I'm here whenever your ready." He said almost making a tear drop fall out but I held it.

"Okay."

"Let's go in ma or are you hungry."

"Not hungry."

"Let your guard down a little bit." He said as I just rolled my eyes at him. As he speed off in the car making me put my seat built on.

"Where you going."

"To get food I'm hungry." He said making me just look at him. But he is fine tho I guess I can stop being so mean. I don't know though as I thought to my self.

Pulling up to braums I rolled my eyes because this my favorite place to eat and they quarter pounders so bomb.

As he ordered our food he asked me what I wanted and I told him and he paid for the food and we left.

20 mins later

"Where tf y'all been?" Some nigga said but me not worried about him and thinking about why my sister ain't worried about me.

"Nigga minding our business." Sain said as he took me hand and took me to a movie room. I sat on one of the seat as he sat beside me.

"You smoke ma?" He said looking at me but as I'm looking at him I can tell he really checking me out.

"Yeah." As he started rolling a blunt.

"Ight we can smoke two woods then we can go in there with gang nem. You coo with that?" He said taking a few puffs of one wood and passing it to me.

"Yeah that's okay."

"Well lay back ma just chill relax." He said leaning back.

"Okay but I'm not laying on you and don't touch me." As he chuckle a little showing his dimple.

"Ight ma I gotchu. Now what's your name?" He asked. "Naomi." I said looking away put he lifted my face to look at him.

"I go by Nuni tho." As he just looked at me."Damn that shit cute not gone lie but mines Zyaire but go my Sain."

As he played I will by rylo in the speakers, we started to vibe.

"Why you look away like that? You so cold to me and ion understand why so what's up with that?" As he passed me the blunt and I took a puff then a few more then I should have.

"Just don't trust people that's all and I refuse to get close to people. You the only person forcing me to talk but in a more smooth like comfortable way." As I passed him the blunt back and started eating in my food he bought me.

As we on our second blunt we talk a little more about basic stuff but not deep. He let me talk and he listened. I feel comfortable now as I just thought to myself. He easy to talk to but I can't let him know.

Not now and not in this way as I got snapped out of my thought by him saying "You thinking again I can tell ma." As I rolled my eyes.

Few more minutes passed we are done smoking both blunts smiling having good time. As I can say I'm enjoy my self and it feels good but I don't want to show it does.

"Let me get your number ma. Listen if you still don't trust me I will text you but you don't have to text back . I'll only text only once til you text back." As he handed me my phone.

Of course I was going to text him back but not a lot though. As I put my number in his phone I gave it back and we headed back to the living room.

"Ma you wanna stay here tonight or you want me to take you home." As he whispered In my ear. Making me blush "I guess me and my sister can stay."

"Bet." As he said he loud enough for me to hear.

"Hold tf on, she smiling, he smiling, damn did y'all fuck." As Corey said while me and Sain pulled out our straps.

"Stop playing with me I'm not safe to play with boy." As everybody else was shocked but Dream.

"Damn y'all act just alike y'all know that. & I was playing lower your weapons." As me and Sain lowered our shit.

Lane dumb as decides to pull his gun out making me and everyone else laugh. "Bitch don't play with my bestie like that hoe Ill blast yo big toe."

As we all laughed at his dumb as. For the rest of the day we all just chilled I didn't talk much only to Sain and Dream.

"Damn so she not gone talk." Corey said making me mug him.

"She not friendly." Dream and Sain said in unison.

"Damn. Well we coo so when you decided to talk little sis we here." Corey said

"Okay." As I started to yawn because I was getting sleepy.

"You sleepy ma?"

"Yeah." As I started to feel my self get drowsy.

"Aye Dream y'all staying here tonight pick any room to sleep in - as he got cut off by Corey "not my room mfa."

"Mfa you don't even live here yanno what nvm but yeah. Come on ma let's go." As I followed him to his room.

"Here some clothes of mines for you to take a shower." As I trapped the clothes and went in the shower.

30 mins later I'm out the shower and finally getting into bed with him not feeling him next to me. I lift up but I felt him but his on my side. "Hey ma I'm right behind you it's okay I'm here."

As I got closer to him and he wrapped me in his arms I started to fall asleep feeling safeness that I never felt before.

"Goodnight Zyaire."

"Girl hell nah don't do that. Goodnight ma." As I drifted off into a deep sleep.
