Lily POV
"So tell me again why you're the one driving?"
"Because I'm the careful driver Liyah. You drive like you got nine lives."
"You're too dramatic for me Lena. You drive mad slow anyway. We could've been at Danny's crib a while back if I drove."
"Yeah we would've probably gotten there in pieces too so hush. We ain't that far anyway."
*Incoming Call from Bruva 💙*
Hey Chris
Man where y'all at? I need my whip
We're almost at Danny
Y'all ain't even there yet? Damn who driving Granny?
Even worse, Arlena
Mann hurry it up, I got shit to do. I'll meet y'all at Lil East crib, Shooter gon give me a ride
Aight
*Call ended*
"You mad disrespctful bruh." Arlena said after hearing our call.
"And you love me still, so its whatever."
"I don't got a choice. It's a twin thing." She shrugged.
In about twenty minutes later we were pulling up to Danny's crib. Her mom opened the door and greeted us with a warm smile. We went into the living room and Danny came to us while we chatted for a few minutes.
"Took y'all long enough." Danny said soon as she saw us.
"Lily don't say anything." Arlena quickly said making me laugh because she already knew I was bout to throw her under the bus.
"Chris gotta come get his whip, so should we wait or-
"Sure we can, the worst that could happen is I starve to death."
"He already on his way with Shooter don't worry."
"Aight then let's go to my room shall we?"
After our lunch date with Danny, she drove to the Bronx and we got our nails done. By the time we were done we went to Queensbridge and been chilling here for the past half an hour.
"Lily you lame for real. I mean shit I would expect this from Arlena but you? How yo twin fuccin and you ain't?" Danny fussed again.
"My sister is actually in a serious relationship. That's the difference."
"Wait hold up, so your boyfriend is the guy you lost your v card to? How long y'all been together?" She questioned Lena.
"Six almost seven years. We started dating while I was in highschool, Yes I know I was a minor but that's small matters."
"Age is just a number right?" Danny smirked.
"You know it."
"Right now back to you Aaliyah because I ain't done with you just yet. You was in a serious relationship with that Keith guy so what was the excuse then?"
"I just wasn't in a rush to have sex and a good thing too because he turned out to be a dog ass nigga."
"Sooo Jordan's the lucky guy then?" Danny pushed.
"Oh lawd she just won't stop." Lena laughed.
"Twin 1, Twin 2 and ugly ass girl." East greeted jamming us while earning a glare from Danny.
"You tall as shit, what are you like 6'5?" Arlena questioned.
"6'6 but you was close wit it. What y'all got going on?"
"We're chilling as you can see brother, yunno having a ladies talk." Danny answered him. "So unless you a lady and I ain't never knew.." she added making us snicker at that little comment. East didn't take it for anything though just waved her off.
"He actually nice looking for a lightskin nigga." Arlena said after he left us.
"Oh don't tell him that, he's cocky enough."
"Aren't we all a bit cocky?" I teased.
"It's a Harlem thing, clearly." Danny noted.
"Yunno I can feel you looking at me East."
"I can't look now?"
"You making me mad uncomfortable bruh, fucc is you looking at me for anyway? If I got some on my face just say that." I said taking my eyes off my phone. Apparantly what I said was funny to him.
"Shit Lily, maybe a nigga just like what he see." He smiled at me. I opened my mouth to give a slick remark but nothing came out. My mouth was open and I was stuck on stupid. He used his finger to raise my chin and close my mouth making me flush with embarrassment. What is up with this man?
"It would do you well to not flirt with me." I said after clearing my throat. "And why is that, your nigga gone beat me up?" He chuckled. "Shit he just might and maybe your babymama gon beat yo ass too or maybe it'll be me she try to fight and not you." I said tilting my head to the side. "None of that gon ever happen. Whoever your little nigga is he won't get close to me and Millie not gon ever try to raise a hand on me—
"But she might raise it on me though." I cut him off. "Like I said, not gon happen shawdy." He chuckled. The doorbell rang interrupting our conversation so I got up to answer it leaving East sitting on the couch still waiting for my brother to come downstairs after a quick shower.
"Oop- I thought you weren't coming over till this afternoon." I said opening the door.
"Couldn't wait, I missed you." He said bending down as I tip toed to kiss him. I opened the door wider for him to come in as I locked it behind us. "Oh I got guests by the way!" I said as he entered the living room and noticed East.
"Jordan this is my brother's friend Dave, and Dave this my boyfriend Jordan." I introduced them.
"Shitten me." Dave laughed.
"Oh I know East babe." Jordan spoke in a weird tone. Ofcourse he did, everyone who be in Harlem know who East is.
"That's all I am ma, your brother's friend?" East teased. I just playfully rolled my eyes trying to hide the smile on my face.
"Why he in your crib Lily?" Jay questioned me. "Got a problem with me being here pretty boy?" What the hell?
"Woah chill out guys, tf. Babe, he waiting on Chris whose taking a shower upstairs so they can move out ain't shit else. We cool though" I explained to my irritated boyfriend. Then it hit me. They already met back when we were in Florida and Jay had a problem with East talking to me. How could my slow ass forget.
"Ayy whiteboy what's good bro?" Chris joked as he finally came down the stairs. He dapped Jordan up and they talked for a little minute. The whole time East had this mug on his face like someone stole his weed.
"Aight East, we out." Chris called out as he headed for the door. East stood at his full height from the chair towering me and Jordan too a little.
"I'll see you later ma." He said but his attention was behind me. Was he looking at Jordan? He took his leave and as soon as he did Jordan spoke.
"Ion want that nigga in here. He a whole criminal and you got him just sitting on your granma couch like he at home?"
"Woah wtf crawled up ya ass Jay? Didn't I say I'm cool with him. His sister is my friend and we got mutual friends."
"You don't got mutual friends. You hang around nigga that work FOR him. Them nigga not your friends Lily, don't be naive."
"You don't know my relationship with them or with Dave, so you can chill on that. Whatever got you pissed off you better throw it out the door and make your way out yourself. I'm not gon entertain this bs. You buggin out in my granny house to early in the morning."
"Imma leave before I really start buggin out cause you clearly not getting it.
"Aight then head on out then. Yunno where to find me when you feeling better." I said hading up the stairs I was halfway up when I heard the front door slam and a picture fell off the wall.
"AALIYAH FENTY WHAT ALL THE NOISE UP IN MY CRIB ABOUT AND WHO BREAKING SHIT LIKE THEY BOUGHT IT!?" My gran shouted from her room. I sighed continuing my way to my bedroom.
Dave
"AYO EASSSTTT!"
"THOOOTTTEERRR!"
"What's crackin cuh?" He asked lighting a blunt.
"Shit the drop went good, I'm chillin. Fenty went home to his woman."
"I just left mine blowing steam. She talking bout I'm never home." We laughed. Kiki ass crazy asf, but I'm glad my boy finally got a lady to go home to.
"Speaking of which, I was at Lily crib earlier and her nigga walked in muggin tf outta me."
"Who her nigga?"
"You not even gon believe this shit. One of em lightskin nigga we beat up in the club the other day. The taller one."
"The one you called pretty boy?" He asked and i nodded.
"Shittt East, small world. What Lily had to say bout that?"
"Ion think that nigga told her shit, cause she gave us an introduction and all on some kumbaya shit."
"Nigga gots to be ashamed of himself."
"I been met him once before. One of the first times I met Lily back in Florida she was with him. Nigga was still grilling me."
"Must think you a threat to his little relationship. You trynna snatch pretty boy woman, East?" He joked.
"Shit I just might. Lily a good soul with her head on straight and the looks can't be questioned."
"Nigga quit playing, she ain't even yo type." Shooter laughed. It was true though, I liked thick lightskin chicks but Lily was the complete opposite of that maybe that's what attracted me.
"Keepin it real witchu Shooter. I like her company for real. On some real shit I'm feeling her vibe."
"You trynna tell me you like Fenty's little sister cuz?" I only smirked with a shrug. I could be talking shit right now or maybe I know what I'm saying.
"Yunno Millie ain't all that sane in the head. I hope you know what you doing wit that crazy babymoms of yours."
"Millie be tripping for no reason on a regular man. I'm starting to see what Danny be complaining bout-
"She gon call you slow I'm sure because ain't no way you just realizing Millie the problem. You stay going bacc to her for Kairi sake."
"Yunno what it is man but that shit overrated. Millie and I be off and on, it's getting tiring for real."
"It would eventually but if you trynna grt at somebody else my foolish advice is to end whatever you got going with Millie first."
"Like you made Kiki do?" I joked. Of course I ain't just let Millie go for Lily. Ion even know if I like shawty for real or if I just fucc wit her on another level. Plus even if that were the case she ain't hit me as the type to leave pretty boy just cause I MIGHT like her. Nevertheless that nigga don't even know what he done got himself involved wit me. He better play it safe from now on.
