She liked the message and I went down to my living room to wait for her.

20 minutes later someone rang on my doorbell and I stood up to open the door. Onika was standing there in a plain white t-shirt and sweatpants with a toolbox in her hand.

"Hey." She licked her lips and looked at me up and down.

I gave her a weird look and let her in. "Hi, you can get started whenever you're ready."

I sat on the couch to watch her. She sells drugs do she's a criminal and I just got this apartment, I can't afford to be robbed.

"How old are you?" I asked after she started, I wanted to know because she had to be really young.

"What, you not into statutory?" She said with her back still turned to me.

"Excuse you?"

She coughed and cleared her throat, "I said I just turned 18."

"Mhmm."

"How old are you? You can't be more than 10 years older than me." She started drilling the thing in my wall, I don't know shit about TV's.

"Excuse me?" She's not that far off. "I'm 8 years older than you actually."

I took some years off from high school to college to make sure my funds were in order which is why I'm still in law school.

"So basically 10 years. Cool."

"Don't try to add some tears to me age, I'm not that old."

"It's okay, I like them a little old."

"What?"

"I asked if you just moved here. What did you think I said?" I just met this little girl and she's talking to me like this.

"Don't you have some homework you should be doing?"

"You want you TV to be on the floor?" Good point.

"Do you want something to drink?" Let me be nice before I have to set my TV up on one of these moving boxes.

"You got Hennessy?"

"I meant like water or lemonade, you're a child I'm not giving you any alcohol." The fuck did she think this was.

"Grandma." I could hear her mumble under her breath.

I ignored her and went into my kitchen to get her a bottle of water and handed it to her. "Here youngin."

"Stop playing with me. Thank you though." She took the water bottle and drank almost the whole thing.

"Damn, they didn't give you any water at recess?"

"No being in the same room as you made me hot and thirsty. Old fine ass. Emphasis on the old."

"You need to respect your elders. Watch your mouth little girl. Emphasis on the little." She was probably two feet tall on a good day.

"I'm not that short. Let me see your remote so I can see that nothing is messed up." I handed her the remote and she turned the tv and it actually worked.
