blurred devotion. brent faiyaz.

. 《 36 》

aaliyah's sweet angelic voice escaped my phone's speaker & into the atmosphere.

i was quietly jamming & singing in my head while applying a rose colored blush high on my cheekbones.

"yo! you don't need to be putting that shit on, you damn beautiful without it."

brent said to me from across the room.

i rolled my eyes, "well it ain't for you, i enjoy putting on makeup. thank you very much."

he laughed to himself. i hit the makeup brush on the corner of the blush pallette & closed it back up, sealing my makeup bag.

"you almost done?" i asked watching brent slip on a black knitted sweater with the face of a clown on it. i stood back & looked at his outfit.

".. wtf be going thru ya head when you dress yaself?" i asked amused at myself.

he looked up at me & made a playfully shocked face. "oh what you tryna say im not fly or sum shit?"

"exactly what im saying!" i retorted jokingly.

brent's fashion was.. something different. ian understand half the shit he paired certain pieces with & when he wasn't dressing like a hood nigga he was looking .. questionable.

"iight i'm ready c'mon." he told me scooping up his car keys from his jet black dresser.

i grabbed my purse & followed after him.

it was hotttttt honey. hot. i never knew it could boil as much as it was in atl.

"after you girl. " he held the door open for me & i smiled real big jumping in the car.

i unlocked my phone & scrolled through my unread messages.

brent was in the back of the car fiddling with something in the trunk. i paid it no mind & went on my socials.

kaiA1 - 15 new messages.

i cringed at my phone looking at all these new pop ups from kai.

i ignored it & just went to my feed.

"soooo, i really hope you enjoy today. ik it's last minute, but i tried." brent said hopping in & clicking his seat belt on.

i smiled at him & put my phone in the cup holder.

"well then. let's go," i stated enthusiastically.
