He back in Atlanta nd that's where he gon stay. I blocked him and everything." Von: "Word? Lemme read the messages." I handed him my phone and he read all the messages. He gave me it back and kissed my neck. I sat down on my bed and he crawled on top of me. He laid his head down on his chest and I was playing with his hair. Mani walked in and said "Girl you know- Oh hey... Ian kno he was comin over." Me: "Yea." Mani: "Yall something else. Anyways Imma be headin out soon.." Me: "Where?" Von: "Prolly wit Quan."

I cut on my TV and got on Netflix. Von scooted up and gave me a kiss. Me: "You ain't never gave me dis many kisses." Von: "Well lemme give you sum now." I laughed at him and grabbed his chin to get another kiss. Momma busted in my room while we was kissing and said "Laiya I told you... Oh hi Von...Girl start puttin a sock on the door when he here or sum. I'm tired of walkin in on yall bein nasty." Me: "Momma it's just a kiss." Momma: "Mhm and everybody knows that kisses always turn into something else." Me: "Whatchu mean?" Momma: "Don't act like you don't know. Anyways, Gramma and Auntie Shirley goin back to Atlanta tomorrow." Me: "What about Nique?" Momma: "He stayin til after New Year's." Me: "Okay.." Momma: "Next time tell somebody when Von is over." Me: "Mani knows." Momma: "Tell somebody responsible." She walked out and Von kissed my neck. Me: "Whatchu tryna do?" Von: "Ian tryna do nothing 😂." Me: "Mhm..."

Nique walked in and was buying all types of chips and sweets. Me: "Hope you kno you finna share 🤣." Nique: "Hell nawl. Getcho own shit." I seen the door open and heard a bunch of loud girls laughing and squealing. I looked over and it was Daijah and some of her friends. I rolled my eyes and stood near Nique. Von came over to me and gave me a kiss. He bent down and whispered "There go yo bestiee." Me: "That's most definitely yo girlfriend sweetie." Von: "Stop cappin." Nique: "Ya know dem?" Me: "Yeah that's Von's girlfriend." Nique: "Oh shiii." Von: "Lai jus shut up. Dats sum hoe I used to go wit." Me: "Don't tell me what to do😂."

Me: "Boy be quiet. Yea dis my cousin. He be pimpin da hoes tho." Nique: "Fashoo you kno me. Waitt Lai dats the gurl Nazir was-" Me: "Anyways! Whatchu need Daijah?"

Watch out for dat. He jus another dog ass nigga." I stepped near her and Nique grabbed my arm. Nique: "Let's go cuzzo." Me: "Don't get ya ass whooped Daijah. Again." Von took my hand and pulled me near the register. Daijah and her friend group got reallll quiet right before we left. Me and Nique went outside and he got in the car and started eating. I leaned up against the car waiting for Von. Daijah and her group walked out and stood on the corner laughin. Von came out with a few wrap packs and said "Ight let's go." Me: "Why was you takin forever in there?" Von: "Cus them fat bitches had a lot of food." Me: "Mhm." Von: "Don't start this." Me: "Ian startin nothin." Von opened the car door and threw the bag in the back. He walked to the passenger side and stood in front of me. Von: "You fr gon do dis?" Me: "I'm not doing nothing." Von: "You actin out over that." Me: "I'm fr not doin nothin 😭." Von rolled his eyes and put his hand around my throat. He leaned in and stuck his tongue all down my throat. One of Daijah's friends was pointing and whispering. We stood there for 2 minutes kissing until Nique started blowing the horn. He rolled down the window and said "Ewww. Yall get inna car and come onnn." Me: "You nd Niyah gon be doin it 🤣." Nique: "Tuh." Von gave me one more kiss and a smack on the butt nd said "Get inna car." We got inna car nd went home. Nique: "Lai Lai, ain't dat the girl who Nazir called fine? Nd you showed me the video of her gettin beat up." Me: "Yeah das her🤣." Nique: "Ayo she look worse in person." Von: "Cus she ain't got all dem damn filters and shit on." Me: "She be gettin on my damn nerves man." Nique: "Ouuu Laiya jealoussss😂." Me: "Who? Ian jealous of nobody especially not that bull dog built ass bitch." Nique: "Uh huh she jealous." I hit him in his chest and opened the front door. Daddy: "Where yall been at?" Nique: "Da sto." Daddy: "I'm glad you went wit em Nique. They be takin 2 hours to get 3 things out the store." Nique: "Cus Lai be getting dug out." Daddy: "Huh?" Me: "Daddy he high. He speakin nonsense." Daddy: "Imma start payin somebody to translate yalls slang to me cus I be confused." Nique: "How much you tryna pay?" Daddy: "Boy go sit down."

I went and sat in the living room wit Von and Nique. Von's phone started blowin up and he said "Awe sheit..." Me: "What?" Von: "I didn't tell my mama I was gon be over here. I said I was goin to Quan's house for an lil bit..." Me: "I can pick it up and tell her you sleep." Von: "Ight.." I picked up his phone and answered it. The first thing she said was "BOY WHERE TF ARE YOU AT? I JUS CALLED QUAN'S MOMMA AND SHE SAID YOU LEFT. DAYVON TODAY IS NOT THE MFN DAY TO BE FUCKIN WIMME." Me: "Um... Hi Ms. Yvette..." Yvette: "Oh Laiya! I'm sorry baby girl. Can you put my son on the phone for me sweetheart?" Me: "I would but he fell asleep..." Ms. Yvette: "Really? Well I'm sorry you had to hear all that. Whenever he wakes up tell him that his Mama said that he needs to start telling her where he's at please." Me: "Yes ma'am.." Ms. Yvette: "Okay baby thank you. Bye Bye now." I hung up and started laughing at him. Von: "You see how nice she be to you?" Me: "She be yelling at you like that cus you her kid😭." Von: "Naww she yell at everybody like that.

Mani: "See Nique you always doin shit without me😟" Nique: "You was out gettin sum dick." Mani: "I was not gettin dick. I was engaging in a conversation with my friend Quan."

Ian finna say too much but we wasn't plannin on fuckin fr. It was more of getting to kno each other more as a person." Nique: "Dem niggas was playin 21 questions 🤣." Me: "Nique shut up 💀." Gramma came around the corner and said "Eventually yall gon shut da hell up and get out dis damn limm room cus Imma take myself a shower and go to bed." Mani: "Gramma it's only 7pm.." Gramma: "And?

Von: "Ain nun to be embarassed bout. They yo cuzzins, Mani ik for a fact be on sum nasty shit and if Nique really pimpin hoes like he claim he do then he be on sum too."

Von: "I wanted you nd I kno when I want something, imma get it." He kissed my forehead and went to the bathroom. I got on my phone and started looking thru my pictures in my camera roll. I seen a video from the day I first met Von. It seemed like it was so much longer ago than it really was. Von: "Whatchu lookin at?" Me: "An old video..." Von: "I remember that. Yo ass would be too shy to even get close to me, now look at you. You be all over dis😏" I laid down and this time he got on my chest. He ended up going to sleep about an hour after so I was just laying there on my phone. Daddy came in my room and said "Don't be up all night. You gon help us get Gramma and them ready for they flight back." Me: "Okay." He stared at me for a few seconds. Me: "Hi??" Daddy: "Grown ass man." Me: "Can you just shut my door?" He shook his head and walked out. I put my phone on my stand next to my bed and rubbed Von's head. "Big ole baby.." I turned off my TV and went to sleep.
