" You don't know me, April Renee !"
" Girl, goodbye. Anyway, let me get ready to take Zo to the movies." I said.
" Ok, babes! I'll call you tomorrow. Oh and by the way Chubbs boys will be at the party. You can meet them but there's one that I think you might like." She smirk. I rolled my eyes.
" BYE!" I hung up. She's always trying to hook me up with someone.
" Ma!!" I heard from downstairs.
" Yes, Zo?"
"I'm ready!!!" He yelled.
" I'll be down."
In the car
" So who are the girls that will be around."
" Just Kaja and Jordynn, Ma." He shakes his head as we pulled into the movie theater. I reached into my purse and pulled out my phone and quickly sent him some money. He has a little job but momma always looks out.
" Sent you money, Now have fun you too!" I said to him and Cairo.
"Thanks, Ma."
" Thank you, Ms. April," They both got out.
" Text me," I said before the door closed and they were off. I pulled off and headed back home. I may as well pick out something to wear for this party tomorrow. I have a few brand-new outfits that came in the mail yesterday. I haven't opened them yet, maybe I'll wear one of those.
" Man, your ass needs to settle down!" Chubbs laughs while we're at the bar with a few of our boys.
" Settle down with what?" I took a sip of my drink. I was trying to chill on the drinks tonight because I had some games to go to tomorrow morning. I was scouting new players for my team next season. I didn't need to be hungover.
" Nigga you're crazy," Chubbs replies.
"I know I better see something I like tomorrow night at your girl's party."
" Oh, you will." He says. Of course, I'm the only single one out of our group of friends. Fuck it, I'm not into all that relationship type of bullshit.
" Man, I'm trying to leave with one." I laughed.
" Nigga, none of them are going to let you leave with them. Just get that out of your mind now." Chubbs took a pull from his blunt.
" Yea, Yea. I'll be back." I got up and walked over to the other side of the bar. I had been eying this woman over on the other side but as soon as I got closer a guy sits next to her. I watched as he kissed her cheek.
" Bitch.." I mumbled while turning around. Chubbs was laughing once in sat back down.
" Shut up, nigga!" I waved him off.
