I pulled up to the corner store and turned my car and got out. I walked in and walked pass a group of guys that were leaning against the wall a having a conversation amongst themselves.
"Ayo ma what's yo name." one dude say calling after me and following me.
I just kept walking at started to head to the door. I started to open the door but he blocked me.
"Ma I know you heard me." He said looking down at me.
I rolled my eyes and felt an arm wrap around my shoulder.
"Yea she did but she don't want your ass." I heard a familiar voice say beside me.
"My bad Zeke I didn't know this was all you." He says holding his hands up.
"Yea this me back up nigga so we can go in." Zeke says mugging him.
"Yea my bad." He says walking away not looking at me.
I opened the door and went inside.
"Thank you so much he was making me so uncomfortable." I say grabbing a drink with Zeke behind me.
"Want me to kill him?" He says looking at me with all seriousness.
"What! No I don't want you to kill him." I say laughing
"Oh ok. What you doing on this side of town anyway?" He asks me.
"Well I live here." I say laughing.
"Oh ok u must stay on 25th?" He says looking at.
"Yea I do. What about you?" I respond.
"Oh I live on 21st but I like this corner store better than the one down there. It always be roaches crawling around." He says shaking.
"Yea i like this one too." I say smiling.
I took a minute to look at his features and he wasn't ugly. Matter of fact he was fine. He had a baby face which is what I like about him. He wasn't mean or disrespectful. At least not to me.
"Well thanks for saving me." I say walking towards the counter.
"No problem." He says smiling while putting his things on the counter.
"Put your stuff up here too Ill pay for it." He adds.
"Nah I couldn't have you do that. I brought enough." I say disagreeing.
"Girl go ahead and put it up there so I can pay for it." He says chuckling.
"Ok fine but only this once." I say putting my stuff up there.
"Whateva."
"Your total is 17.32" the lady says behind the desk.
"Ok here's a twenty keep the change." He said grabbing our things and walking out.
