Odell and Kenya have been best friends throughout college. As graduation approaches and both their lives are set to change, they evaluate whether they should be more than friends.

But he got tired after a couple of minutes and now we were just sitting in the water.
"I'm injured."
"Odell we cannot just sit in the middle of this water."
"Why? Ain't nobody else out here." He looked around. "Enjoy yourself and eat these sandwiches I made." He had brought a bag of sandwiches he made and some wine.
"This is such a ghetto date." I laughed as he poured wine into some paper cups.
"Have you a bag of chips and some of these cookies." He took out some salt and vinegar chips and chocolate chips left over from when we went to Covered Market.
I stale faced him.
"What?" He said his mouth full of chips.
"This Section 8 date." I laughed.
"Girl, you better eat and be merry." He said chomping on a sandwich.
"I cannot." I shook my head and took a picture of this mess of a ghetto date.
I posted to Instagram with the caption.
When your 3 says he's going to take you on a date in Oxford and it turns out to be a hot ghetto mess. Why do I love him tho? 🙄
I picked up a turkey sand which. It was dry as a desert, . " so you don't know what mayo is? Cheese? Lettuce? Tomato?" It was literally just bread and meat.
"I was in a hurry. I wanted to do it before y'all came." He said still eating. "Can I get an A for effort. Damn."
"No. You put zero effort into this ghetto ass date."
"I'll take my date back and leave yo ass in this water."
"Take it." I laughed.
"Ungrateful." He shook his head.
"love you anyway." I kissed him.
He wiped it off.
"You are so petty." I softly bopped his forehead.
"You know I was watching some clips of the combine. Jarvis at the top of everybody radar. Should've been me." He looked off to the side.
"No it shouldn't you're right where you supposed to be baby. God doesn't do things like this if he doesn't have something better. Look at me. Here I was only wanting to be a simple Rhodes Scholar, but God gave me something better in Dr. T I could never dream up. I think God knew we couldn't afford to be apart. At least not now. Our relationship was new. And I needed you especially after mama dying. And you needed me. It's making us stronger I think."
"I agree. It's just annoying having to wait a whole another year."
"I know."
"How was the campus?"
"Beautiful." I sat up excited. "Brandon keeps saying it looks like Hogwarts."
He laughed.
"It does sorta tho."
"That's cool. I'm just happy for you baby. I know how bad you want it. And want ever you need, I'm here."
"Aww Thank you baby, Love you." I kissed him. "And I can't wait until you get back on the field. I miss seeing you in your element. Cheering you on. Hearing Brandon cursing out thirsty hoes in the crowd."
O laughed.
"You'll get back there. I'm going to make sure of it. I'm still waiting to meet Cam Newton so I can leave you for him."
"Here you go talking about midget ears again."
"Don't do Cameron Jerrell Newton. Loser. I bet you he know how to make a proper sandwich."
"These sandwiches is fye." He said about to put it in his mouth, but a bird flew by and took it out his hand.
I bursted into laughter. This was a Section 8 date indeed, but I didn't care. I was with my 3 and that was all that mattered.
