i was trying to call Mari but he wasn't answering the phone.
i sighed realizing i was about to have to walk to the store even tho ian feel like it.
i was starting to realize he really had me spoiled as fuck cause before meeting him i'd walk around the whole city if i was bored enough now i barely be wanting to walk from here to my job
i sighed getting up and stretching before throwin on sum random sweats and stepping into my crocs. i already had on a random t shirt
i grabbed my keys and walking out my room and towards the living room to see my mom laid out watching tv
"when you get back we gotta watch our show" she turned to look at me
"ok, and you wanted cranberry juice and what else?" i asked
"sum chips i don't care what kind" she answered grabbing her phone
"ok i'll be back" i walked out the door making sure to lock it behind me. Me and my mom had a bitter sweet relationship. as long as she was on her meds she was fun to be around if she wasn't we would fight.
when i was younger we were really close, me, her and my dad; but after he died her mental went downhill.
we tried our best to work together but we still had ups and downs.
There was a walmart like 10 minutes from my house so it didn't take long to get to it.
i walked in and headed towards the juice and stuff to start getting the things she asked for.
"excus- oh hey" i sent a small smile to Jordan as he turned around
"hey ma, how you been?" he asked stepping over to the side so i could grab her juice
"im ok" i told em
we continued to make small talk as i walked through the store along with him. he ended up payin for everything and i walked out with him.
"you want a ride back home?" he asked and i nodded my head
"if you don't mind." i looked over at him.
i felt my phone vibrate in my pocket so i looked down reaching for it. i pulled it out seeing it was Mari.
I debated on answering but i knew if i didn't he'd keep calling or try to pull up on me so i ended up accepting it
"hello" i held the phone to my ear still following behind Jordan
"where you at?" he asked me. it sounded like he was talking loud although i could barely hear him from all the noise in the back.
"leaving walmart, where you at?" i asked him
"at my mama ndem house, all these fuckin kids running around." he sighed "you needa get in the house for it get too dark out there"
"im on the way there now" i told him sliding in Jordan's car and i watched him slip in beside me
"ight imma hit u up when i leave from here" he said hanging up.
"perfect time to make up our date" Jordan spoke switching lanes and hoppin on the freeway
"nahh, i gotta take that stuff to my mom" i told him
"nah ain no excuses tonight" Mari drove fast so i was used to dat but he was driving fast to the point it was scary.
"ain no excuse dats the tr-" he cut me off
"nah jus be quiet, u riding wit me tonight. it's final" he turned some music on killing the conversation.
i grabbed my phone texting Ally who i was with for a just in case. I'd been alone with him before but something seemed off tonight.
i put my phone back in my pocket and i put my attention on the window and felt myself zoning out.
i jumped slightly feeling him place his hand on my thigh since i wasn't paying attention to him.
"why you so tense?" he asked chuckling lowly "ian did nun to you yet"
"where are we going?" i asked seeing him get off the freeway
"to my house" he answered. i tried my best to keep up with the turns he was taking and stuff since i'd never been to his house before.
it took maybe ten more minutes to get to a gated community and he drove into it.
He pulled into a house and the very end of the street and i assumed this was his house
he killed the engine and got out the car. i watched him jog over to my side and he opened the door for me as well as helped me out the car.
he opened the front door and i followed him in. matching the outside, the inside of the house was nice as hell.
"they pay you this much workin at da community center?" i pressed my lips tightened looking around
"nah i do a few things on the side" he laughed lowly "dis could be yours if you'd stop dissing me" he added
"ion be dissing you, i be busy" i shrugged. he led me to his couch and we sat down beside each other
"wait you want something to drink?" he asked me
"nah im straight" i answered ian drinkin nun out this nigga house
"you sure?" he asked standing up and walking deeper into the house towards what i assume is the kitchen.
"im good for real" i reassured
"my phone started ringing again and i answered it.
"yes?" i assumed it was my mom
"where u at?" Mari asked
"at a friends house?" i questioned more to myself
"i thought i told u to go home" i heard the beeps letting me know he was tryna facetime.
"i was tryin" i declined it and kept talking.
"what you mean tryin?" he asked
"i'll text you" i hung up seeing Jordan walking back in with two cups in his hand.
"let's go upstairs" he gestured to me and i reluctantly followed behind.
