One.

Simone

Simone stepped out of the shower and wrapped one of her plush pink towels around her body. She was getting ready to go out with her cousin Kali and her best friend Zaynah. After moisturizing her deep chocolate skin, she walked across her room and opened the closet doors. "What do I want to wear?" She frowned as she walked into her large closet. A pair of white Vans caught her eyes, and she paired it with and oversized light jean button up. Simone then headed to her vanity to pick out her jewelry for the day. Her phone started to ring and she left her jewelry box to answer it. "Hello?" she answered before hearing laughing over the phone. "Mone come open the door." Kali said and hung up quickly.  She walked over to the door and opened up to hugs and smiles.

Her cousin Kali was about an inch taller than her, and they were about the same. She seemed meaner, however she was actually nicer. Simone was a couple months older and they carried themselves as sisters rather than cousins. Zaynah on the other hand was Simone's friend since middle school, her partner in crime. She was considered to be family even though they didn't share the same blood. "I'm almost ready guys, just let me take my hair out of this wrap." She said taking off her silk scarf and walking into the room. Quickly, Simone brushed her hair down and parted it to her liking before heading back out her crossbody purse and phone in hand.

"Zayn where are we going?" She muttered as they drove away from her condo. "We're going to see Jamie." She said cheesing from ear to ear. "Oh God. You should've told me so I could've worn something super casual." Mone huffed sitting back in the seat. "Ah hush. Plus he's having a kickback tonight and there's going to be somebody you might like there." Zayn added which built on her frustration. "Y'all keep trying to set me up with somebody. I keep saying that a man will come in due time. I'm not in a rush to have one anyway." She pouted. "Okay whatever cat lady." Kali added. "Bitch, I don't even like cats." She muttered, earning laughs from Zayn and Kali.

They arrived at Jamie's place and Simone noticed his friends outside. She immediately rolled her eyes as she got out of Zayn's car and prepared herself to be talked to as if she was a piece of meat. She's twenty-two, 5'4", and hair is shoulder length. Her dark skin looked as if it had gold embedded within it.

"Wassup Zayn." They all said as she walked to the steps. "Kali, come here!" Ama're called to her as she blushed. She walked over to him and he stood up to greet her. "Wassup Mone?" He said as he pulled her into a friendly side hug. Ama're was the only male out here I could deal with beside Jamie. "Girl you can't be out here in the heat. Yo fine chocolate ass gone melt!" Another said to her and she turned to look at him in disgust. "I don't mind right about now." She said walking inside.

"MONEY MONE!" Jamie yelled at Simone. "Wassup Juicy Jamie!" She laughed as he pulled her into a hug. Zayn stood there shaking her head at their foolishness. Jamie was like a brother to Simone, and he had been Zayn's boyfriend for about two years now. "You coming to my kickback?" He asked raising his eyebrow. "Yes. I will. How should I dress?" She asked looking between him and Zayn. "I'll handle that later." Zayn said as she went and grabbed Jamie's hand. "Alright I guess." She laughed. They went off to be together somewhere and Kali was with Ama're doing the same. Simone just wanted to be eating somewhere, like her girls told her she would be. So, she just sat on the couch and buried her face into her phone.
