I woke up at around 11am cus I heard my moms yellin for me. Mama: "Boy youn hear me yellin for you??" Me: "Yea, I was boutta get up. Wassup?" Mama: "When did you get home last night?" Me: "I came home during the day. I'm surprised Kayla ain't tell you." Mama: "I thought you was stayin wit Laiya baby..." Me: "Yea we got into it... we good tho Ma." Mama: "Mhm yall betta be. She the only girl you been wit that I like. Come downstairs and getchu something to eat." I walked downstairs and everybody was standing in the kitchen getting something to eat. My granny was doin dishes, my granddad was pouring my lil brother a glass of juice, Kayla and Durk was eating and Ian know where my Dad was. Me: "Mama where's Pops?" Mama: "He left for work a lil while ago. If yo ass had gotten up earlier, you coulda talked to em before he left." I made my plate and went back upstairs into my room. I just locked my door so Kayla wouldn't come in. I was still tryna think on when to call Laiya cus ion be knowing what time she go to sleep unless I'm there with her. Me: "Mann maybe I should just leave a message..." My mind was all over the place. I called up Quan to see if he was free so we could hang out at his crib. Quan: "Fashoo come thru dawg. You kno I gotchu." I grabbed my keys and walked downstairs. Granddad: "You goin to see her?" Me: "Naw. Imma go see Quan for a lil bit then come back." Granddad: "Ight Grandson... Be careful."
I left and got to Quan's crib in 20 minutes. He opened the door as soon as I pulled up. Quan: "Wassup witchu?" Me: "Shidd ain nun goin round here mane." Quan: "It's weird seein you walk around without Lai Lai on yo side😂." Me: "Yea this shit don't even feel right. Imma prolly call her when I get back." Quan: "She came out wit me nd Mani the other day. She was all quiet nd shii. Had her headphones in and wasn't talking to nobody." Me: "Yeah that's how she was before me nd her started talkin." Quan: "She barely ate anything too." Me: "Depends on where you took her. She luv some chick-fil-a so if yall went there, she woulda ate." Quan: "Damn bro😭. I need more info on Mani not Laiya." Me: "Mann my mind been fucked ever since that arguement.." Quan: "Look like she hit you in yo face 🤣." Me: "She sholl did. That lil girl got hands no cap 🤣." We sat in his room and smoked for bout an hour. Quan: "Bro yall hurt each others feelings." Me: "Whatchu mean?" Quan: "Ion wanna say too much but she feel real bad. Like it's her fault." Me: "Mann..." Quan: "You better talk to her today. She don't know if she wanna call you or not." Me: "I know... Imma prolly call when I get home." Quan: "Aye bro, can you run me to the store real quick? I need sum more wraps nd sum to drink." Me: "Fasho." I grabbed my jacket and we walked outside. We got inna car and drove to the corner store that was a lil bit up the street. I was scared I was gon see Laiya there cus Ian kno where she be at. I hopped out and walked in the store. I grabbed some juice and waited on Quan. Quan: "Ayoo I need sum Russian Creams." I put my stuff on the counter and paid for it. Quan was acting a mfn fool innat damn store. Me: "Ight come on dawg I gotta go home." Quan: "Bro it's only 2pm." Me: "So?" Quan: "Nigga you act like you got a curfew. You can stay at my crib for a lil longer bro." Me: "I gotta make a phone call." Quan: "Ight you can make it downstairs or sum. Youn gotta go home for allat. I kno you stressed bout allat wit Lai but relax bro." Me: "Ight dawg.."
I took us back to his crib den he said "You can sit in the livin room and make the call if you want to." Me: "Ight I preciate it.." I sat down on the couch and dialed her number.
~Laiya's POV~
Momma came in my room at around 12 to wake me up because she said "Ion want you sleepin all day doin nothing. You gon get up and do something." I got up and got in the shower for about an hour then I got dressed and did my hair. I walked downstairs and made myself a bowl of cereal. I was sitting at the table scrolling thru Instagram then JoJo came over to me. JoJo: "Lai Lai. Lai Lai. Laiya. Laiya. Laiyaaaa!!" Me: "What JoJo?" JoJo: "Whatchu doin?" Me: "Eating." JoJo: "Whatchu eating?" Me: "Some cereal. Do you want some?" JoJo: "No. You got games on yo phone?" Me: "No." JoJo: "Why?" Me: "Cus ion want em." JoJo: "Where's yo boyfriend?" Me: "He's at his house. Why you askin all these questions?" JoJo: "What's wrong?" I got up and put my bowl in the sink and walked in the living room. Me: "Nique get him please. I'm not tryna get in trouble for yelling at him." Nique: "JoJo stop buggin folks!" Gramma: "Josiah bring yo ass here!" He walked over to Gramma and she sat him on the couch. Nique: "You good Lai?" Me: "Yeah. Do you know where Mani is?" Nique: "She still sleep." I walked upstairs and went in Mani's room. I picked up a pillow and hit her with it. Mani: "Chillll!" Me: "Get yo ass up🤣." Mani: "For what??" Me: "Cus if Momma told me to get up you gotta wake up too." Mani: "Uh no." She rolled over amd put the pillow over her head. Me: "Get uppp!!" Mani: "No." I walked out and went into Momma's room. Me: "Momma can you tell Mani to get up?" Momma: "That girl ain't up?" Me: "No." She got up and walked in Mani's room. Momma: "IMANI!" Mani: "Huh?" Momma: "Get yo ass up it's 1:30pm." Mani: "So?" Momma: "I'm not gon tell you again lil girl. Don't make me get yo momma." Mani: "Man I'm up." She walked out and shut the door. Mani: "You do too much." Me: "And? Get up." Mani: "I'm finna take a shower." Me: "Imma be in here when you get out so put yo clothes on in the bathroom" Mani got up and threw her pillow at me. Me: "Come on mane 😭." She left the room and I sat on her bed and got on my phone.
Mani got out the shower at around 2:30pm. Mani: "You got any plans today?" Me: " Nah. Wbu?" Mani: "Nope. Quan gotta work." Me: "What time he go to work?" Mani: "4pm I think." My phone started ringing. I picked it up and it was Von. Me: "Bitchh look." Mani: "pick it uppp!!" Me: "I'm scared." Mani: "Girl." Me: "I know, Ok hollon... Hello?" Von: "Hey baby."

I opened the door and Von was standing right there. Me: "Hiii." I let him in and gave him a big hug. Nique: "Ohhh that's why you was in a good mood." Me: "Be quiet." Von: "You was missin a nigga huh🤣." Me: "A little bit.." Von: "Well I missed you too." He put his hands around my waist and started kissing me. Nique: "Dawg take that shit upstairs."

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..."

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. Once she get comfortable enough witchu she gon be talking to you like that." Me: "Oh well😂. I'm used to it." Nique: "Dawg you can taste air." Me: "Huh?" Nique: "Like in cartoons they be smellin pie nd shii and then they taste the air or when you smell sum foul you can taste it in the air." Von: "Yeo you needa take a nap🤣." Mani came thru the front door and said "Hey yall." Me: "Heyy." Mani: "See Lai what I tell you?" Me: "Shut up😭." Nique: "What did you tell her tho?" Mani: "Is he high?" Von: "Baked." 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." Nique: "In other terms, they was planning on when to fuck because Mani really want ha back blown out." Me: "Dawg Nique goin inn😭" Mani: "Swear he kno everything 😒. 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?

Mani: "As she mfn should😌. Bout time somebody did." Nique: "Mane shut yo ugglass up." Mani: "How you gon call me ugly but you don't get nobody?" Nique: "Who?? Who don't get nobody?

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.
