We got home around 9:30. "Wassup, Ma?" I said to my mom as i walked into the kitchen. I kissed her on her forehead.
"Hey Son" she said. I asked her about work then went upstairs to my room and flopped on my queen sized bed.
I took my phone out my pocket and and texted Mani.
Me: Wassup.
I waited and then got up and started getting undressed. So now I only had on my swish basketball pants.
My phone started ringing. It was Mani. She was facetiming me. I pressed the answer button and layed my phone against the window, so it can stand up.
"Hey" Mani said, while chewing some gum. "Wassgud, shawty?" I said. Her mouth dropped open. "What's wrong?" I asked with a look of confusion.
She blew a bubble. "Ya abs" I laughed and said oh. "Nigga, you gotta a 12 pack" she said while covering her mouth. I grabbed a Air Jordan shirt from my dresser and threw it on.
I got my phone and sat on my bed. "So tell me 'bout ya self, shawty" I said. "Well," she popped her gum "You know my name, but I'm 17, my birthday March 18th. I'm the 2nd youngest child and I play basketball." She winked at me. I smiled.
"Tell me 'bout ya self" she said, mocking me. "My name NasMack with the fat ass gat" I laughed as her smile faded. "Chill Mani, I was playing".
"Oh ard." She said. "But my name Nasir, I'm 18, and my birthday December 13th. I got a lil sister that come before anything and I play basketball and football." I said. "Awee, that's cute. How old is ya little sister?" She said.
"She'll be 15 next month, August 14th." I said while rubbing my eyes. "You sleepy?" She said, with her head cocked to the side.
"Nah.. I'm chilling" i said. She said ok and then her mom called her and she said that she is going to call me tomorrow. I agreed and hung up. I went to sleep thinking about Mani, how pretty she is.
2 weeks later...
I woke up around 12:30. Like always, I checked my phone. I had some text messages from Mani.
Mani: You up? 9:32am
Mani: Nas! 9:45am
Mani: Call me.. 11:52am
I called her phone. "Wassup, you good?" I said. "Yeah, I just got alot on my mind" she said, while taking a deep breath.
"Wanna meet up and talk about it?" I said. "Yeah, meet me at the Foot Locker in the Gallery." "Ard". Then I hung up. I hopped in the shower for about 15 minutes.
Then got out and dried off my body. I threw on some sweat pants, a black muscle shirt, and some Puma's . I got my car keys and walked into Niya's room. "I'm boutta go to the gallery, you wanna go?"
I asked Niya, while pulling out her headphones "Yeah, let me get my boots". She walked to her closet and pulled out some pink Dr. Martens.
She put them on and we walked downstairs. My mom was sitting on the couch next to her boyfriend, Jamir. I don't like him, swear he my pops.
"Ma, we boutta go to the Gallery, ok?" I said to my mom. "I don't care" she replied. I grabbed my car keys and hopped in the car, we got there in no time.
I handed Niya some money and headed towards the Foot Locker. I stood outside and called Mani. "Hello?" She said. "Where are you?" I asked.
"Walking up the stairs". I said ok and disconnected the call. Mani walked towards me, she look even prettier than usual.
She had on a some ripped high waisted jeans, a plain white shirt with a blue baseball jacket, and her fresh Legend Blue Jordans. We hugged and walked into the store and started looking at some sneakers.
"So wassup, you ok?" I asked, starting a conversation. "Well, not excatly". "My boyfriend.."she stopped and dropped her head. "What he do?" I said, lifting her head with my pointer finger.
"He got some thot pregnant". I shaked my head. "Don't worry bout them, I gottchu". I said putting my arm around her shoulder. "You not gonna hurt him, are you?" She asked while picking up some all white Air Force 1's.
"Nah, clearly if he was dumb enough to cheat on you and put his seed in somebody, he don't deserve you". I said. I think I'm falling for this girl.
I looked her in her hazel eyes, but they seem darker than usual. We walked out the store and leaned on the wall. "I think I'm falling for you, shawty" i said, finally confessing.
"You don't even know me" she said with an attitude, I liked that."You think I don't."i said. "Prove it" she said rolling her eyes. "Come with me"I said putting my arm back around her.
We walked towards my car when I almost forgot about Niya. I called her and told her to catch the bus home.
Of course, she gave me an attitude, but she finally gave in. She quickly called back and said she going to Dana's house cause my moms not home.
"Where we going". Asked Mani, as she got into my car. "Chill, just relax".
