B3 POV
Miami, Florida.
Thursday April 20th, 2022.
I haven't heard from Diamontè all day, and honestly I didn't want to text her cause I felt like that was a little too clingy.
I don't want to get left again better if we remain friends and keep it at a cool distance.
We been spending too much time together that's how this whole thing started the sleeping over, the games I just don't want to play it anymore I need a clear understanding.
"What's popping champ." Ace said walking in the living room.
"What's going." I said.
"Why you always looking sad all the time man? Cheer up." He said.
"I'm not sad." I said.
"Your little girlfriend not over here tonight aw." He said.
"We might as well go out and do something." Ace said.
"What you got in mind?" I asked.
"Everybody down the beach, I could slide to the beach again." He said.
"All the rappers in town you know rolling loud tomorrow." He added.
"Finna hit Roddy for some tickets." I said.
"Nah for real." He said.
"Ight get ready we ain't staying in, I refuse to look at your ugly sad face." He said.
"Ight man." I said getting up from the couch.

"Stamped and approved." He replied.
"Oh and when you was planning on telling me this?" I asked.
"Mind your business." He said.
"Yeah ight." I said.
"You must be talking about Ari, she got a boyfriend." He said causing Treezy to look at him.
"What that mean?" He asked.
I laughed.
"I don't care." He added.
"He probably cheating anyways see I wouldn't do that but I mean I know the game I am a man." He said.
"Think about it your girl all the way in Miami and you somewhere else you gone suspect her of cheating and that's gone cause you to cheat whole time she won't even cheating." He said.
"Facts." I said.

"How you doing, let me get uh Jerk chicken." I said.
"White or dark meat?" She asked.
"Dark." I said.
"And for my two sides can I have Mac and cheese and collard greens." I said.
"Yes, will that be all?" She asked.
"No, for my drink can I have a sprite please?" I asked.
"Yes, your total will be eighteen dollars and seventeen cents." The lady said.
Whew inflation ain't no joke.
"Here you go." I said handing her a twenty.
"Thank you, your change One eighty three." The lady said.
"You can put that in the tip bucket." I said.
"Thank you." She said flashing a smile.
"Your food will be out shortly." She added.
I sat down at the benches.
It's too many people out here for my liking.
"Hey." A random girl said sitting next to me.

"Who you?" I asked.
"My name is Kayla." She said.
"What about you?" She asked.
"Not interested." I said causing her to chuckle.
"Your name is not interested." She said.
"That's a very interesting name." She added.
"Mhm, so freak out the spot." I said.
"You must have a girlfriend or something." She said.
"Eh I wouldn't say that but if somebody saw me talking to you right now I would be in a world of trouble so I'ma just excuse myself cause I see you can't take a hint." I said standing up.
Tuh, won't get me again I don't know what she thought.

"So, I see how you get down." Tae said.
"I don't know that girl she just walked up on me cuhs for real." I said.
"You seen me get up for a reason." I added.
"Don't trip, he shut me down with the quickness you got a good one girl." The girl said before walking away.
"Told you." I said.
"I don't know why you care anyways, you don't care about me you ain't talk to me all day." I said.
"Breon I felt like you was tired of me by now." She said.
"Can't nothing make me tired if you I knew what I was signing myself up for to begin with." I said.
"Them words Breon, you smooth talking." She said.
"I'm real about that." I said.

"Stop whining, you not two what I told you about that." I said.

"C'mere." I said patting the chair for her to sit on.
She sat in my lap instead.
"Go get your own fork." I said as she grabbed mines.
"Boy no." She said.

"Thank God for this food, amen." She said.
"Amen." I said.
"Mm, breon this Mac and cheese hit." She said.
"Try some." She said feeding it to me.

"I'm just playing." She said.
"You get half of the chicken I get half, we split the Mac and cheese, and we split the collard greens." She added.
"That sounds better." I said.
"Why didn't you try to talk to that girl?" She asked.
"Cause I didn't want to be crying confessing my love to you just for you to never speak to me again until three years later on a family trip." I said causing her to laugh.
"You tender bout me huh?" She asked.
"You tender bout me too." I said.

"Sound like a plan." I said.
"Your hair cut, you done got dressed up." She said.
"Who you trying to look good for?" She asked.

"We in public, chill." I said.
"Don't touch me." She said.
"Chill out." I said.
"Shut up." She said.

"Gave you my all I gave you everything, thinking about buying you a wedding ring." She said singing along to yungeen ace song.
"This life ahead of me wants you to be apart." She said.
"Breon this our song." She said.
"Come be my Queen Jasmine I'll be your Aladdin come ride the magic rug goodness life you can have it." I sung along.
"It's a lot I got express where can I start, baby you my tinka bear you my star you my one in a billion you worth more than some millions baby I'm ready to start a family where our children." I said holding her rocking her side to side.
"I just wanna travel the world with you and every time that I'm lost I find my way back to you." We said in union.
"Everytime that I'm with you it just feel so different and every moment we spend together make me feel so special." We said in union.
"Baby girl I'm like a pirate girl you my treasure, you the only one that mean something to me without you girl I'll be lost don't know where I'll be." I said.
"And I'm like twinkle twinkle little star, how I wonder where you are." We said in union as she recorded.
