Desiree
I had been dodging Danny all week, I got tired of avoiding her text messages and finally agreed to going out to get ice cream.
I dressed simple in some jeans, the hoodie Mani left at my house and Jordans. I put my hair in a messy bun and applied lipstick before grabbing my purse and going outside and driving to the ice cream shop.
I pulled up next to a black coupe, it had to be Mani's. What was she doing here? Is she on a date?
I opened the door to the place and saw Danny sitting there on her phone. She smiled at me as I slid in the booth across from her.
"Before we order, I jus wanna apologize for what happened the other day. I'm usually not like that, I can go the whole night, I swear I can," she said,
I laughed and placed my hands in front of me. "You'll have to show me tonight" I whispered.
She bit her lip, "Definitely," she said.
"Tell me about yourself," I said,
"Well uh, my name is Danielle, but I go by Danny. I been in the drug business since I was 15 and I don't plan on giving that up. I don't have any siblings. And I'm into sports and shit like that," she said,
"I like sports too," I smiled,
"You gotta be a Kevin Durant fan," she said,
Busta loves LeBron James and it kind of grew on me cause I'm a huge fan.
I shook my head, "LeBron got way better stats an he's a better player. Plus he got something Kevin Durant doesn't have," I said,
"Oh yeah? What's that?" she said,
"That's called a championship ring," I smirked,
"Man whatever, Kevin gon get his," she said.
"Hey Desiree," Ms. B smiled, "Hey," I smiled, "I haven't seen you in a while," she said,
"I never really have free time, but I'm here now," I said,
"You want your usual?" she asked,
"Yes ma'am," I say, smiling.
"And what would you like?" Ms. B asked Danny.
"Can I get a snicker flurry?" Danny said,
"Is that all for you two?" she asked,
"Yeah, thanks," Danny said,
Danny chuckled, "You come here often?"
"Busta used to bring me and my brother here all the time when we were younger," I said,
When I mentioned Busta it was almost as if a hint of anger was in her eyes. I didn't think anything of it though.
I ended up talking about my childhood and she sat there listening to everything.
The look in her eyes reminded me of Mani, how she would look at me.
"Why you looking at me like that?" I said, trying to hide the fact that I was blushing.
"I'm just trynna figure out where you been at all my life," she said,
Ms. B came back with our ice cream. We talked about everything. This date definitely made up for the other night. I was ready to go home and bust it open for her.
That is, until I heard Mani's voice. I could hear her but I couldn't see her.
"Are you good?" Danny asked me,
