"Are you guys talking?" He asks putting his phone away.
"Uhm.. I don't know depends on what you call talking."
"Did he send you a good morning text this morning or yesterday morning?" He asks making me laugh, "Yeah you're talking!" He laughs hysterically, "I'm glad you found somebody different. Like completely different. Anthony sucks. Like he's not even family fucking oriented and when he comes around me and Tjay and Fivio he don't say shit. Mad pussy. Mad wocky," He shakes his head.
"I still date Ant. Bashar is just a friend that's it. It's nothing more to it."
"You gotta break up with that nigga then Ci. I'm telling you, ever since the first time he came around me it's been weird energy."
"I thought you liked him? I thought everybody liked him?" I laugh as I turn up a different street.
"Nahh we just keep it cool cause he ya boyfriend or whatever. Keep it at a dap and that's it. If you ask T and Fivio.. they gonna say the same shit. He's wocky."
All this talk about Anthony was just putting more thoughts in my head to break it off. I mentally already left the relationship a long time ago after we were together for three months going on four. But that's a different and long story.
After getting our food we went straight to the Y.
"I hope the bros got money for all this food they made me fucking buy!" I laugh getting out the car with a drink tray full of drinks and two bags of food.
"Lemme carry that," Cam takes the drinks out my hands.
"Finally you fucking do something," I laugh making him laugh.
"Byeeee," He laughs more before opening the door for me. We walk straight passed the front 'desk' and to the gym.
"Yurrrr!" Cam shouts getting his friends' attention.
There were about 30 guys in the gym. Playing basketball. Recording eachother. Sitting on the floor watching. Warming up. Ect.
"Thank youuuu C!" One of his friends, Damien, hugs me and says.
"Thank you C! This why we love you!" Chris says making me laugh.
"Thank you Ci," Jahlil says, "T said call him too."
All freshmen. Damien and Chris are Tae's little brothers. Fraternal twins which is how they're in the same grade.
"You know your boy here right?" Damien says looking at Cam then down at me.
"Cappin,"Cam laughs before me and him both start looking around to then see Pop playing ball with his friends.
"Here here take yah food," I scurry to get to the other side of the court.
As I walk up to him some people were starting to stare at me. Mostly because I was the only female in the gym.
"There go ya girl!" Mike says noticing me before Pop turns around.
"Who's the stalker now!" He laughs, "C'mere!" He says before hugging me whole.
"I was just dropping my little brother off, and checking up on my three kids," I laugh pointing them out.
Because me and Diontae are mad close. I consider his two little brothers as mine. And Jahlil is just family off the rip.
"Word? He good? Tell em c'mere we can all play real quick," He says.
"Papi!" I shout, "Ven aquí!"
"Oooohhhhh speak to me in españolll," He laughs making me laugh.
"Shuttt uppppp!" I laugh more before Cam comes running over.
"Woo back, wassup lil bro," Pop says to him.
"Wass good," He daps him up making both of them smile.
"What's the word like wassup you wanna play a game or what?" He asks.
"Ya guys against mines?" Cam asks.
"It could be whatever," Pop laughs.
"Bet," Cam says before turning around, "YO!" He shouts to the boys.
"Alright I gotta g-."
"Why not stay?" Pop looks down at me.
"Can't I have a nail appointment and lash appointment in a hour and I have to check in early but ima be back to get him," I explain.
"Pick me up regular time," Cam says to me.
"Yup. Be safe, stay in here till I get here," I say hugging him.
"I willllll," He groans rolling his eyes, "Later, I love you."
"Love you papi, see you later and call me if anything," I grab his head and kiss his cheek.
"Ciela! Your lip gloss!" He groans making Pop laugh as he wipes off the lipgloss, "Mad annoying yo!" He laughs.
"You three too! Stay in this gym.." I say hugging all three of them.
"We will," They all groan before I kiss their cheeks.
"Chilllll," Jahlil laughs.
"Bro just go," Damien laughs.
"Mad lip gloss for what? Like what was the reason?" Chris asks making Pop crack up as they all walk away.
"You got them all tight as hell over there," Pop laughs more making me laugh, "How old is he?" Pop asks me putting the ball under his arm.
"He's fifteen," I say, "Freshman."
"He play ball?" He asks, "Like for the school?"
"Mmhm, VARSITY!" I whisper loudly making his eyes widen.
"Freshman on varsity oh he valid then!" He laughs.
"My brother already got major college offers, he's going to the nba for sure," I say as we both look over at him, "Okay but I gotta go, watch over him for me..." I ask.
"You wouldn't even have to ask C," He says putting his arm around me.
We stared at eachother for a moment before I snapped back.
"Okay, be safe.. everybody be safe.." I look past Pop and at the boys as they nod to me, "Call me literally if anything."
"Ci...go.. we're fine.. stop worrying."
"Thank you," I take a big sigh before walking away.
Pop's POV
"Does she always be so.." I trail off.
"Overprotective?" Damien says.
"Annoying?" Says Chris.
"Invade your personal space?" Jahlil says making me and Mike laugh.
"I mean the list goes on," Cam laughs.
"I was just gonna say clingy," I laugh, "But aight."
"Yeah I mean, she's really like our second mom," Cam says.
"Facts," Jahlil nods.
"Like Ci's always been looking out for us like she was the one that gave birth to us. That's how close she is to us," Damien explains.
"She's deadass a mom,"Chris says, "Like she checks up on all of us more than our actual parents!" He says making us laugh, "Brings us to our games. Waits for us right after. Supports everything we do. Keeps us out of trouble. You know just stays down for us."
"We've known her our whole lives because our older brother Tae.. they're best friends and he's gay. So you know how that goes," Damien laughs.
"Gay best friend.. nothing wrong with that.." I laughs.
"Every girl got one," Damien laughs, "Like every girl."
"But ever since my brother passed last year she's been moving super careful with all of us as you can see," Cam says.
"Sorry for ya loss bro, I do understand where she's coming from though. She just don't want yah to have the same story ending. Yah good though. Don't end up like these other lil kids out here. Heard you a freshman on varsity. You got a golden ticket out kid," I look at Cam.
"Nah, me AND sis got the golden ticket out. Once I get big and get money.. i'm definitely buying her a house and everything. She deserves it. She's my entire life. I love my sister to death nobody understands the bond we got," He chuckles.
Damn..now that's love. You don't come across that type of sibling love everyday.
"I feel you, I do bro. You so mentally mature at ya age you remind me of me!" I laugh making him smile, "Know what school you wanna go to?"
"Uhm UCLA. Of course. From there," He sits, "Nba," He looks at the boys making them hype eachother up.
"Dream big kid," Mike says.
"Facts," Fetty says, "Long as you keep ya mind focused on that, you good.. you gonna be there brodie."
"Yo.. so do Ci gotta boyfriend?" I ask making everybody laugh, "What?" I chuckle, "Shit I wanna know!"
"She would've told you by now if not then she single," Mike says.
"She's in a relationship yeah sorry bro," He says.
"Damn really thought shorty was single.. since she ain't never mention no boyfriend to me," I look at Mike and Fetty.
"She's breaking up with him though. They don't even seem like a couple no more. And nobody fuck with him so go figure that," Damien says.
"What yah mean?" I laugh.
"Heard her and Tae talking on the phone this morning about her and dude relationship not it no more," He explains more, "So keep those hopes up!" He laughs making me laugh.
"Goofies!" Mike laughs, "Lets play some ball yo!" He laughs.
