"Here brudder." I heard Niya say from the backseat. I grabbed the drawing from her once I stopped at a red light.
"You drew this for me?" I said faking surprise. She laughed and nodded eagerly. "I like it...imma add it to the wall ok?" I told her and her face glowed.
After I get to my moms house I unbuckle Niya and get her out. My mom must've saw us from the inside cause she opened the door for us. I walk in and look around making sure everything was okay.
"Hey son." My mom said coming to hug me. I saw Niya run up to her room and my little brother come down from his. "Hey momma." I said accepting her hug.
"Hey Vonte."
"Hey Quin. Are you staying?" Now don't get me wrong nobody comes before my siblings nobody. But I already told Zara I would come over. "Not this time but maybe tomorrow we can get ice cream." I told him and he agreed then ran back upstairs.
"You spoil them." My mother said smiling and shaking her head. They get whatever they want whenever they want from me. "Tru but they deserve it. I gotta go imma call them later." I said giving her one more hug before leaving.
I made way over to Zara's house next. She must've moved because this wasn't the same house I've been to before. I swear I'm not being creepy I went there with our friend Shay one day to drop something off.
Anyway I went up to the door and knocked. After about a min or two a women opened the door. "You must be Quintez?" She stated yet questioned too.
"I am." I said politely. "I'm Zariah, Zara's mom." She said beckoning me into the house.
"Nice to meet you." I said once we were inside. We headed towards the kitchen and I saw Zara in here on her phone. When her mother announced our presence she finally looked up.
"Your here great." She said and stood up. I smiled and she led us out of the kitchen. "My rooms up here." She said and I got nervous cause I thought she said her bathroom was messed up.
"I-I thought you said your shower?" I said and she turned around flashing me her beautiful smile. "It is but my bathroom is in my room." Oh. Right that made sense. I nodded and we walked into her room then bathroom.
"Ok so you see how it's leaking...it's been doing that since we moved in. Firstly its annoying hearing this leak all night and second it runs up a bill so do you think you could fix it?"
"Let me get a look at it then I'll let you know. If push comes to shove and I can't then I'll call my dad." I told her and then started looking at the problem. After I was done I walked out the bathroom and saw Zara sitting on her bed.
"So umm I see the problem and Ik how to fix it but I don't know how to dissemble the faucet and then resemble it so I texted my dad we're gonna come back tomorrow with a new faucet cause the one you got is damaged and fix it. Is that cool with you?" I asked.
"Yeah that's fine thanks...lemme walk you out." She said and got up. I grabbed my tools from the bathroom and washed my hands before following her downstairs. Me and her mother exchanged goodbyes and we went outside.
"So yeah I'll be back tomorrow after I drop my sister off." I told her. "Ok...again thanks for this." She biting her lip and smiling.
"Y-yeah no-no problem." I said stuttering. She raised a eyebrow and was about to say something when a car door slammed. I turn around and see a older man coming towards us. He was shorter than me maybe 5'6 but had facial hair that made him look older maybe around 20.
"Sup Z who dis?" He looked at me strangely like he didn't know if he should be intimidating or welcoming. "Quintez the one I was telling you about." She answered and I had to suppress the smile that wanted to spread across my face. She talks about me.
"Oh right the one who lost. Nice to meet you bro." Ehh that's still a win for me. "So whatchu doing here? You not trying to get with my little sister are you?" He said but I couldn't tell if he was serious or joking.
"Marcus shutup." Zara said rolling her eyes. I didn't know what to say so I just kept my head down. "I'm just playing with the guy." He put his hand on my shoulder aggressively and I tensed but he was laughing.
"Naw but fr try anything with my sister and I'll kill you." He whispered near my ear so Zara wouldn't hear him. "O-ok" I stuttered out and he left to go inside.
"Naw I'm playing with you." He said smiling then disappeared inside. I was definitely stuck cause I didn't know whether to believe him or not he sorta gave me bipolar vibes.
"Don't mind my brother he's psycho." She told me and that didn't ease my worries. "So I'll see you tomorrow." She said and I pop back into reality.
"Right yeah I'll see you tomorrow." I said and hopped in my car leaving to go home. Knowing when I got there I would have to immediately call my friends and explain everything.
