"Nells, what you doin' here?" Damitri asked when he opened the door. Arnell could hear people chatting on the other side. It was most likely his annoying ass friends.

"I told you that I was comin' over." She told him.

"Damn, I left my phone upstairs." He said, still in the door way.

"Soo, you gonna let me in?" He looked as if he was contemplating whether or not he wanted to.

"Uh, yeah." He said moving to the side. Arnell slid passed him and entered the house.

Like she suspected, his house was filled with his dope friends that she couldn't stand. They were in the process of making and preparing drugs in his house like it was nothing.

"Hi, T-Bone." Arnell smiled. He was the only one there that she actually liked.

"Aye, wassup, Arnell?" T-Bone said. She was going to reply to him, when Damitri came up behind her and placed his hand on her back. "Can you go upstairs until I'm finished?" He whispered into her ear. Arnell nodded and made her way to the stairs.

"Aye, I seen you at the mall today." One of his friends smirked as she passed him.

Whoopty fuckin' doo. Wanna cookie? She thought.

"Okay?" She replied.

"Yeah, you was all in some lightskin nigga face in the Foot Locker." He replied. He was weighing and tying up bags.

No, this negro didn't. She thought.

He was making it seem like she was cheating on Damitri or something. Arnell hated when a nigga spoke on a situation that they didn't know shit about. It would definitely start something between her and Damitri because he was the jealous type.

"What the hell he talkin' about?" Damitri asked walking over to her.

Here we go. She rolled her eyes.

"Nothin." Arnell shot back.

"I'll deal with you later." Damitri said sounding angry.

"Nah, we can deal with this now, because nothin' happened."

His snitching ass friend began to snicker. Arnell shot her eyes at him. She wanted to know what the hell he was laughing at. "Damn, Meech. You gone let her talk to you like that?"

"Fuck you mean is he gone 'let me'?" Arnell asked while placing her hand on her hip. "Meech ain't lettin' me do shit. This my mouth that I'm in Control of." Damitri pushed Arnell into the direction of the stairs.

"Nells, take yo ass upstairs." He said with a warning tone. Arnell did just that, making her way to his room.

On her way there, she saw Blue coming out of the bathroom. She laughed when she passed Arnell. The girl looked high off her ass. She could barely walk straight. Arnell shook her head and kept walking to Damitri's room.

It was hours later and Arnell was sitting on the bed playing Maggie in pool. Damitri tried opening the door, but she had locked it.
