Jah' Navi
At her house

Lunch with Cerie was fun, she took my mind off of the bullshit my cousin was talking. But as of now, I'm watching star vs the forces of evil. I hear my phone go off, it's Zuri callin.

   "hello ?"

   "aye say, you tryna go out for brunch with me and Aniyah?"

"Uh no, only because I would be the third wheel." I said shrugging like she could see me.

She goes silent, "You can bring the girl that picked you up for lunch the other day."

"mmm, ima ask if she wanna come"

"igh, its official"

"nigga shut yo corny ass up" I said laughing then hangin up.

   I scratch my neck thinkin about if I REALLY want to go out to eat with Zuri & Niyah.

   I sigh and call up Cerie..

   She answers, "hey mama"

   I smile a little bit while looking at my nails. I need to get em done

   "hey love"

"wassup?"

"Soo Zuri and Niyah had invited me to brunch. Buttt, I would be the third wheel, you feel me."

"mhmm"

"So with that being said, do you wanna come with me to brunch with them?"

"I would like to go, but am I invited? Ion wanna be nowhere I'm not invited to mama."

"You are, I had already told Zuri that Ian wanna go if I was gonna third wheel. She said I can bring you."

"ohh okay bet, what time?"

"thats a good question, Ima say 12. If thats not the time she wants us to go, Ima. just say it's 12 or nothing" I said shrugging.

She chuckles, "okay mama, lemme kno when you find out."

"Alright" I hang up and call Zuri.

"Wassam bit" Zuri said answering

"The fuck... anyways is 12 good?"

"I mean I was gon say one-"

"Um 12 is the only free time on my schedule"

She buss out laughing "Schedule? Nigga youn got no life" She said laughing again.

I side eye the wall, "You must forget I got a job and I attend college"

"Nerd. Anyways 12 coo though."

"bet." I hang up and text Cerie to be there by 12.

I put on some khaki cargo pants, a yellow & red hoodie, with my yellow dunks. Looking like a highlighter. I grab my AirPods, hooked them to my pants and left out the house.

While I'm listening to music at a red light, my phone start ringing. It's Zuri...again.

I answer, "wassup Z"

"Where you at li nigga"

I look at the backseats because who is she talkin to, " You talkin to me ?"

"Bruh yes, wea you at?"

"Down the street, im almost there fo" I hang up and call Cerie

She answers, "Hey mama"

"Hey love, you there already?"

"Yea, Ian get out cause Ian see yo car."

"Ohh okay okay, I'm pullin up now" I hang up and park. I get my phone and scroll on instagram. I look up when I hear knocking on my window, its Cerie.

   I unlock the door and she gets in.

   I smile and lean in to peck her lips, "Hey love"

   She mug me and grab my neck to give me a longer kiss. I moan into the kiss, she pulls back smiling, "Hey mama"

   I chuckle, "All that?"

   She shrug, "Yes cause what the hell was I gon do with that small ass kiss."

   I laugh, but it was cut short when I hear another knock on my window. I groan and unlock the door when I see Zuri.

   Zuri open my door, "You black as fuck for being late." She looks at Cerie then look back at me, "You also gay as fuck" She looks at Cerie, "Whats good mane"

   Cerie nods, "Whats up"

   "Mann not shi, not shi. Just waitin for this black ass girl to come into the muh fuckin restaurant." They both look at me, I smile and get out the car.

   "Cmon then nigga" They walk behind me.

   We go into the place and go to our table Zuri had already got. When we get there I see Niyah on her phone. Ian gon speak to her yet, she ain't talk to me since she came to my job talkin about being feminine.

   I sit down, Cerie sits beside me. I pick up my menu and start lookin for some food. I look over at Cerie and she lookin at cocktails.

   "Cerie"

   She looks over at me and hums.

   "Why you lookin at cocktails when you can't even order one"

   She shrugs, "They look pretty, Ion plan on drinking. I gotta drive back home."

   I hum, "How was you gon get a cocktail without being of age though?"

   "Fake id."

   I chuckle, "Imagine"

   "Hey Jah"

   I look over at my cousin and hum.

   "How you been?" The fuck?

   "I been pretty good, just a li busy."

Zuri bust out laughin, "Busy with what? yk yo ahh anti-social"

I poke my cheek with my tongue, "Nigga you must forget not only am I in school, I also work." Cerie puts her hand on my thigh, I look at it then her then back at it. I grab her hand and hold it.

"I understand. So yall dating or what" Niyah said peepin me and Cerie.

I look at Cerie she looks at me, "N- "

"Not yet" She said cuttin me off
