He Fucked Who? | 001
"I don't know why you keep giving him chances, Destiny. He cheated, he's giving you community dick." Mariah snorted, as her best friend, Destiny, told her about the result of their latest argument.
"It's not that easy to just ditch him, Mari. He promised he'd do better. I believe him." Destiny said, kicking at the concrete sidewalk the two stood on.
The bus would be pulling up any minute, and here Destiny was gushing over a no good nigga.
"Des, fuck him. The nigga got you looking down bad. Be about your shit for real, or I will." Mariah hiked her bag up her shoulder.
Where Mariah came from, family was everything. Destiny and her family was all she got. She'd be damned if a little boy thought he could come run shit.
Destiny was independent, but when wannabe hood dudes was in play, she became insecure real quick. Quinten done got more chances than Mariah could count on hand, Destiny excused his behavior like it was nothing.
Destiny didn't say anything to Mariah. She couldn't cause she knew she was right. Mariah was really about her shit, she didn't play when it came to those she loved, Destiny knew that for sure.
The bus pulled up moments later and the two girls got on, finding an empty seat in the far back.
"Damn, Mari. You gotta boss up and get that car." Mariah cocked a brow at Destiny.
"You gonna pay the bills though, sis." Destiny rolled her eyes, waving Mariah off.
"You know good and well Momma gotchu." Mariah shook her head.
"I can't even let Auntie Jules do that, she already helps me pay bills at home. She lets me live Des, that's payment enough."
Destiny felt her mood soften, Mariah didn't have it easy growing up. And every now and again, that came back on her, even when she held hers with those behind supporting her.
"We're gonna make it out of here, Mariah. Count on it, Pooh." Mariah's face crinkled at the new nickname.
"Pooh? You gotta take a dump, Des?" Destiny's ears tinted pink as some of the other kids turned to give the two a look.
Mariah wasn't going for none of that and she quickly told them to mind their business. Seeing the embarrassment creeping onto Destiny's face was priceless, it's what she deserved for eating the last of her wings from the fridge.
