"right, she's all yours. Tomorrow she back with me though"

"I only need a day. Can you get my boys for me today? I needa get my gear" I stood up and adjusted my pants before sitting back down

"Yeah I got chu, 1:50 right?" I nodded my head "Why you always on the porch anyways? I sit out on mine sometimes when I got company but never just by myself like you"

"The porch is like my TV screen. I get live action drama without havin to pay for cable. and when the kids come out to play a game of basketball, soccer, street hockey, football, baseball, that shit be my sports channel" I laughed some more

"Of course you do, let me guess you bring out beer n food huh?" He laughed a lil

"I bring out the mini fridge n stove. I just run the cords through that window and we good to go" I said as I pointed to the window behind me

"You're too much" He said in between laughs

"Oh I know, aye as much as I would love to sit here and watch the streets, I needa tame the lawn" I said annoyed "You know what, I'm just goin to get fake grass. I'm tired of this lawn"

"You're just hella lazy, but aight. I heard Aldo missed his flight so he still in town. Ima go head over there" He dapped me then started walking off my porch. "Marcus n Raphael are drivin by, by the way!"

"Fuck." I dropped to the ground, knocked the table down and placed it in front of me. I heard the sound of bullets fly all around me

"Aye Varo!" They both yelled

"Fuck all of y'all! Also B5!" I yelled back!

"Missed!" Marcus yelled with a laugh

"What!? That's such bullshit! It says hit on my phone!" I got up and jogged up to the car to show him my phone

"dammit" Marcus said under his breath

"Yeah don't think you're so slick punk ass. Y'all quit shootin, Shorty's girl called the cops last night and they was inspecting my house n shit"

"Aight, but now you're porch got that nice ghetto look like you're old house" Raphael laughed

"I love it, makes me feel like we back in the other hood with all the random shootings n shit. Thanks" I dapped em n they drove off. I looked at my porch and it looked like the perfect home to me.

~Chanelle P.O.V.~

we picked up Angelique and just now pulled up to the little donut shop

"Is he here already?" Lexis asked he turned off the car engine

"Yeah, he's right there" I pointed to the table outside with the one guy sitting there. I hopped out and pulled Angelique out of her car seat. She was fast asleep but slowly stirred around in my arms. I looked over at Lexis and looked like he really didn't want to be here...his fault. He said he wanted to meet him today. "Ready?" I smiled at him

"Yeah let's go" He grabbed my hand and together we walked on over to Malcolm

"Hey Malcolm" I smiled at him. He looked at me first then Lexis, then Angelique

"Hey Nelle, and this must be-"

"Lexis, what's up man?" They dapped each other then we all sat down

"You're her fiancé right?" Lexis nodded his head "nice to meet you. You probably know I'm Malcolm. We had P.E same period freshman year" He smiled at him

"Really? I was never there for P.E so I don't really remember" Lexis laughed

"I remember, you were there on the first day, finals and the last day" He laughed along with him
