MASHAWN POV
"You did a great job abucheo!" Nina squealed as I walked off the set.
"Thanks Nina" I say loosening my tie "You better come on before you miss your date with whats herface Angelo?"
"Nigga you know her name is Angie." she corrected me as she hit me in the shoulder with her clutch.
"I'm sorry Nina, but I still don't believe that you gay." I shrugged as we walked into my truck.
"What you mean you don't believe I'm gay?!"
"I mean you don't act like a dyke or nothing." I replied as I started the engine and began driving off the parking lot.
"And what are US dykes supposed to do? Kiss on other women all the time or have naked sleepovers?" she asked in her thick accent.
"Hmm that would be real nice." I said licking my lips and looked over at her.
"Whatever Shawn, and besides I'm bisexual." She explained.
"That's even worse, now you ain't got no type of excuse to not have me as your boyfriend." I said with a laugh and all she did was roll her eyes and had crossed her arms and was looking out the window, I guess shawty calling herself mad.
DON'T SAVE HER
SHE DON'T WANNA BE SAVED
DON'T SAVE HER
SHE DON'T WANNA BE SAVED
I looked over at my ringing phone and saw a picture of Marv pop up:
Mashawn: What's the word Marv?
Marvin: Aye what you doing tomorrow night?
Mashawn: Nothing that I know of why?
Marvin: Well I'm tryna surprise Mikayla by setting up for us to go to this jazz club in Brooklyn and I wanted to know if you wanted to bring somebody along so that you can come too?
Mashawn: Damn, I thought you'd never ask (Chuckles) but why you want me to come?
Marvin: Cause even though you don't think I should, I'm gone pop the question and I just wanted my best friend to be there.
Mashawn: Yeah, yeah I'll go just to be supportive.
Marvin: Alright thanks, and make sure you bring somebody with you.
Mashawn: Yeah man, no doubt but I'll hit you up tomorrow. (hangs up)
"Aye Nina what you doing tomorrow?" I asked looking back at her.
"Probably nothing, why?" she said with a roll of the eyes.
"Awe well Marvin gone propose to M-"
"No." she replied flatly.
"Wh-"
"No I don't wanna go to the damn thing!" she yelled.
"Alright. Alright, damn I just thought you'd want to support a friend." I reason.
"Neither of them any type of friend to me." she snapped. I decided to leave it at that cause I ain't feel like hearing her curse me out in spanish, so I started thinking bout who I was gone ask. Rose and was still in Cali, if I just invite some random then Marv gone start going in about how all I do is collect hoes or Mikayla was gone nag me about how I'm not shit but a thot and yada yada yada. So who was I gone invite?

KAILYN POV
I finally forced myself to roll out of bed despite my nagging hangover. Last night was kind of a blur, I just remember seeing Mashawn on tv and thinking about how good he looked, Mikayla came over, and then she was saying how she thought that Marvin was cheating on her and even now I'm shocked she even thinks that he would. They've been together forever and they just seemed so happy for a young couple. They supported each other, they had fun with each other, they always made time for each other, and every time you were around them they seemed to be like horny teenagers. But then again, looks can be deceiving, very very deceiving. I learned that my last year of college, but that's a story for a different time.
As I walked into the kitchen, the sound of loud rap music from my neighbors made my hangover even more painful. I saw the mess that was my living room consisting of at least 5 cups, empty wine bottles, and the decimated pizza box. I'm not gone lie, even if we were both drunk the bitch coulda at least helped me clean up, but I forced mysef to get up and clean up and then made myself some breakfast.
As I took spoonfuls of my cereal, I was trying to find something to do tonight. I couldn't stand to be couped up in this apartment anymore especially since for the first time in a really long time I got a little bit of money in my pocket. It's not like I gotta go to the grocery store, I paid all my bills for this month and the next, so what to do? Then the idea hit me, I haven't been shopping in damn near a year and a half, so I hopped off my couch, showered, and got on my way.
After a 15 minute drive, I was at the NYC PLAZA, and walked into the door that led you straight into Forever 21. Like every Saturday, the mall was packed and I had to force myself to not just say "Fuck it." and walk out, and made my way over the sweatshirts and sweaters. I walked around the store about 3 times and still couldn't find something, so I began to walk around the mall and felt my phone vibrating in my purse, but the caller's number was unfamiliar:
Kailyn: Umm Hello?
???: Umm hi is this Kailyn Deavens?
Kailyn: Yeah this is she.
???: Awe good, this Mashawn.
Kailyn: Ohh hey, your not calling to cancel your appointment for Monday are you?
Mashawn: No not at all. (chuckles) I was actually tryna see what you were doing tonight.
Kailyn: Well, I was thinking about going to a movie tonight.
Mashawn: With your boyfriend?
Kailyn: Ha very funny, I definitely don't have one of those, but I was really thinking bout going by myself.
Mashawn: Nahh that's not gone work cause I was tryna spend some time with you tonight.
I could feel a grin plastered on my face. He actually wanted to spend time with me
Kailyn: Is this some kind of sick joke?
Mashawn: Not at all sweetie. I actually got invited by Marvin to go to this double date and thought who better to invite then my favorite lady.
Kailyn: Now I know this is a joke.
Mashawn: I promise to you it's not so come on and say yes. You know you want to.
Kailyn: Awe what the hell, I'll go.
Mashawn: You just made me the happiest nigga alive! But here's the plan I'm gone pick you up at 7 and we gone go over to Marv house so we can all ride in the limo and I give you the time of your life.
Kailyn: Well that does sound like a lot of fun.
Mashawn: You absolutely right (Chuckles) now come on and tell me that sound more fun than going to a movie by yourself.
Kailyn: Yeah it does.
Mashawn: Right, but I'm gone let you go so that you can get ready and all that just text me your address.
Kailyn: Will do, I'll see you tonight.
Mashawn: Yes you will. Bye Kailyn.
Kailyn: Bye *hangs up*
I could have jumped up and down like an idiot I was so excited, but I knew that I would be escorted out of the mall and a bitch needed something to wear.
