I was driving for what felt like hours due to how we had so much to talk about. After laughing the whole ride we finally pulled up to a lake front, once I turned the curve there was a house that looked as if it had been there for decades but it still looked beautiful and a huge piece of land that looks as if it just got cleaned off.

Y'all about to build over there?

"Yeah we just started working on it, we wanted to build it ourselves"

That's a lot of land, what do y'all plan on building?

"We're building a new house, as you can see our current home kind of went down after-

He put his head down and I could tell what he was going to say next was something sentimental so I changed the subject.

Make sure y'all build a court in the back, we gotta work on your game before the season start back

He laughed. "Nahh YOU need the practice not me but I'll agree for your sake only. Thank you for the ride though, I appreciate it."

You good, you missed the bus trying to make sure I was good anyways.

He got out of the car and told me thanks once again and I pulled off and turned my radio on max.

FFW:

I really had no intentions on going home straight after school today so I went to the gas station and bought a few snacks and got some gas.

"$40 on pump 3 please" I said to the clerk.

As I walked back to my car I heard someone call out to me

Aye ma hollon

When I turned around it was a tall, darkskin dude. He had a neck tattoo that led down to his chest tattoo of praying hands. He smiled wide and all I saw was golds, at this point I'm looking him up and down so he probably thinks I'm boujee as hell.

"Wassup?" I said placing my things in the car.

You might as well be single, yo boyfriend shouldn't be letting you pump the gas

"I don't have a boyfriend and if you wanted to know that you could've just asked"

Well you got one now, move back.

He opened the cap and began pumping my gas.

"Where he at? Oh he must be over there at that subway next door or some"

OHHHH so that's how you gone do me? See nahh it's cool. He said cheesing from cheek to cheek.
So I can't get your name?

"Myracle"

Ok ok cute and simple, I like it. My name Jay. So can I get your number or...

He handed me his phone and I typed in my number.

Ight I'm finna call you so lock me in.

He twisted the cap back on and we said our goodbyes.
