Akiyae POV

Pulling out the parking lot, I could feel him staring at me.

"You hungry?" I asked him.

He shrugged " Yea I could eat" I nodded.

"So let's talk about when you start calling my mom titi" he hollered.

I laughed "When your dad would call me, we would talk so I just started calling her titi."

"So how was the college life?" I asked him.

Before he could answer his phone rung. A big smile plastered across his face. I mind my business but I can't say that I wasn't tryna look.

Peeking at the phone through the corner of my eye still driving, I saw a nigga on the screen.
"Wow you wasn't even gone tell us you landed." he said on the phone.

"The fuck up, I was gone call you when I get to the crib." Mere said.

"Where you at?" Somebody else asked.

"Blu just picked me up from the airport." he said looking over at me.

He telling people about me.

I looked at the phone to see what was going to be said next.

"Ohhhh Aight call us when you get some free time" he said.

"Bye nigga" Mere said before hanging up quickly.
Pulling up to Mr. Mammas, I seen Mere look up from his phone.

"Ohhhhh shit no you didn't bring me here" he said chuckling.

"You remember?" I asked.

He looked at my stupid "How could I forget Blu."

I laughed "Aight come on."

We hopped out the car and walked towards the diner. Walking in, I asked if we could be seated in the far back. We got our seats and she asked us what we wanted to drink.

"Sprite light ice" he said.

"And I will have a cranberry juice, I also already know what I want."

"Okay,what would you like?" She asked.

"I would like a plain chicken tender and waffles"
She looked at Mere like she was tryna flirt. Now what if that was my man. I would've snatch that ponytail right off her head, then I would've been wrong.

"And what would you like" She asked batting her eyes.

"Lemme get what my lady getting but change that chicken tender to a burger and that waffle to a fry"
She then walked away with a attitude.

I bust out laughing "Now why would you do that and you changed the whole order."

"She was tying to hard and she got bad manners." He said making a ew face. "Let's talk about you doe"

"What about me?"

"What you was doing while I was gone?"

I thought about telling him about what I really been doing but I don't think it's the time right now.

"Running my shops and shit really nothing much" I said shrugging.

"Shopsssss" he looked at me shocked.

I laughed "Yea I have a barber shop named Kingz. A hair/nail salon named Queens. And I also have a little corner store named Pooks."

"Damn Blu you did all that in 4 years?"

"Yea" I chuckled "So what you been up too lately?"

"While I went to DePaul University, I really just stayed to myself"

"So who was that when we were in the car?" I asked.

"Oh those was my homies I met down there."

"Oh so we making new friends" I said acting hurt.

He laughed "I bet you got you some new friends"

"Nope still hang with them niggas Money and Turtle"

"Foreal? You don't got no female friends"

I looked at him crazy "You know me and females don't get along too well."

"It's cause you rough as hell"

I lifted my hand and he flinched. I laughed, " I am not rough, these hoes soft."

The food finally came out. "Here" she said rudely, then she walked away. I started to say something but I stopped myself. I didn't want to make it hot.

I started stacking my chicken tender on my waffles and poured syrup over it. "This bouta be good" I rubbed my hands together like bird man.

"You still be doing that shit bruh, you nasty" Mere said looking at my plate.

"You always say that but when I ask do you want a piece you always eating it" I laughed.

"That's because I can do that. Lemme get a piece doe"

Cutting a piece and waffle and chicken, I pushed the fork in his face so he could take it off. He put his whole mouth on my fork.

"Now Mere why would you do that? I don't know where yo mouth been." I scrunched my face.

"I only kissed you so" he shrugged .

"Mhm" I just continued to eat but I felt him staring.

After we got done eating, I payed after putting up a fight with Kaymere. I even left that rude bitch a tip.
Walking to the car, I through my keys to Mere.

"You still know how to drive?" I asked.

"I've been taking the car since 15, I think I know how to drive" he said smartly.

"Well excuse me sir" I laughed.

We hopped in the car and I decided to play some music.

"So where we going" He asked me.

I put the location in the gps and I told him to follow that.

I just wanted to stare at him while he drive.
