I sent a quick text to Mike. Still thinking about the past, I had a feeling this was gonna be interesting. "Where are you?" I texted. "By the waterfalls." He shot back quickly." As I got out the car and started walking toward the waterfall I saw him staring down at his phone. He looked amazing. I stopped and decided if I wanted to do this. Hell, I really didn't but business is business. "Layla. Hey" he said spotting me. "Hey. Wassup?" I said looking around. "Damn you look good. How old are you now?" "21" i couldn't help but think of our history. I never thought I would be here. Facing the man that broke me down. "That's good. I hear you running things in my city now. Shid I'm tryna figure out why you not on my te--" he said and was interrupted by a phone call. "Hello? Yeah I was a little busy but wassup? Aight meet you in 5." He hung up and grabbed my hand. "If you're gonna be there in 5 minutes you better get going." I said snatching away from him. "You right ma. Ima text you" then I walked away. Once I reached my car I already had a text. "Sorry it didn't last longer. I missed you. Btw how is London?" I frowned and shot a text back. "Look ian got time for games. What is it that you want? And she is doing great. And she's nothing of your concern." "Baby just chill, I miss you guys. Just let me take you to your favorite restaurant." "And where is that?" I text back trying to figure out what he was up too. "Johnny Rickets" he sent back quickly. He really remembered. That was the restaurant I was eating at when I first met him. Ugh what should I do now? "Ok tomorrow at 12" "thanks girl. And again it was great seeing you!" I drove home in silence just thinking.

Malaysia's POV

"London!" I screamed. "What?" she walked out of the living room with a cup of red juice. I looked at her crazy and popped her in her mouth. "Why you do that for?" She said with tears in her eyes. "I told you not to go in there with that juice little girl! Anyway where have you and Jamel (Jay) been?" She looked hesitant before she said anything. "We went to the park." I looked at her and walked away. It was still early but I wasn't feeling well and had stuff to do. I spent the rest of my day reviewing houses and property.

*the next morning*

I heard my phone ringing and I ignored it. It rung again then I finally answered it. "Hello, this is Malaysia speaking." I said with sleep still in my voice. "Get up girl. It 11:00 mane!" "what Mike?" I said with an attitude. "You still coming?" "Yeah bruh" I said hanging up. I got up and got dressed and then woke London up. "Where are we going?" she said not wanting to move. "We going to Johnny Rockets!" She jumped up really fast. "Haha that's what I thought!" After she got dressed we took off to the restaurant.

Mike's POV

"Hello" I said walking to a booth. "Yeah bae I was saying that MJ is gonna stay here with you cause me and the girls were going to Texas with my dad for the weekend." "That's cool with me." "Ok what you doing?" she said "Handling some business." I said then hanging up. She was so nosy mane. Then I looked up and saw Malaysia walk in with some True Religion shorts on with a matching black and white True Religion shirt and some Space Jam 11's and a black MK purse and the little girl who I assumed was London was damn near matching her.

"Hey Mike " I said . he was looking at me like a thirsty dog. " He's cute" London whispered to me. We sat down and he handed her a big sunflower. I sighed. "Where did you get that?" "Chill Layla, it's June in Georgia, they grow almost everywhere." I rolled my eyes as London smiled and thanked him.

"Hey how can I help you?" Our waiter said eyeing me. "I'll have a Philly cheesesteak with onion rings and a raspberry lemonade and give her chicken tenders with fries and a chocolate milkshake." I looked at London who had given me a thumbs up. the waiter winked at me as he finished writing and I smiled and Mike coughed. "Oh my bad bruh, what can I get you?" "Shid let me get the same thing she got. And have somebody else to send us our food. We done with you my nigga." And with that the waiter turned around and walked off like he ain't give a damn about nothing Mike had just said.

"Why are you such an asshole Mike?" I said staring him down. "Cause you my mf girl and ion like when niggas be smiling all up in ya face like it's cool or whatever." "First off ian ya girl. Secondly he was just smiling. Nothing more." And with that Jamel called my phone.

"Hello?"

"Wassup wyd?"

"London and I are getting some to eat. Why wassup?"

"Who else with yall?"

"Nobody. Why?" I said looking around.

"No reason." and with that he hung up. I looked back at Mike to finish talking.

"What do you want Mike?" "You're a real estate agent and I need a house. " "It's others out here. Why me?" "I trust only you." "How many bedrooms?" I was think like 4." "it's only one you though." I said raising an eyebrow. "Nah I got my son, Mariah, and her 2 daughters." I looked at London who was smashing her shake. "So you gone call me yo mf girl but you got a girl. Man you ain't shi--" "Mel!" I heard London yell. I liked up and he was standing at our table with a crazy look in his eyes. "Jame-" "What tf is this?" "We were discussing business. Who are you?" Mike asked him. "Shit" I cursed under my breathe. "You know what, since yo ass acting clueless, you stay here with yo lien ass. Don't drag London in this." He said reaching for her. And with that he left.
