I had already went in five stores, buying clothes and anything else I wanted. My dad got me a black card before we left Philly. It made me even more curious to ask what he did for a living, but I keep forgetting to ask.

"Marlo?"

"Yeah?"

"You know where my dad works?" I asked him. He rubbed the back of his neck and sighed.

"Yeah, but I can't tell you. You gone have to talk to him." He said and I nodded, wanting to dismiss the conversation. I saw Jarret and Xae walk over to some girls and start flirting with them.

"You done shopping? A nigga feet hurt." Darren said.

"I feel you, and I'm hungry." Marlo said.

"Well, we can go to the food court. Marlo, you always hungry, c'mon." I said as we began walking.

"Them hoes reminded me that I need to call Alexus." He said pulling out his phone to call her.

"You wanna eat something?" I asked Darren. He looked down at me and nodded.

"Yeah, what you want?"

I looked around and decided to eat Charley's and he had Chinese food. When we both paid and got out food, we sat down and started talking.

"Guess what?"

"Hm?"

"When I woke up, my dad was said he found me sleeping on your back, and I thought he was gone get mad, but he didn't."

He laughed.

"What he say?"

"That he was cool with me liking you, but if you hurt me you won't live to see another day." I said eating some of my cheesy bacon fries. He laughed and shook his head.

"I ain't gone hurt you. So, you tryna be with a nigga or what?" He asked. I looked and him and took in the way he was looking at me.

"Yea, but don't be on no bullshit with me. You're my first boyfriend." I said and he threw his head back and laughed. I guess I'm Kevin Hart or some shit.

"I gotchu." He said reaching across the table to hold my hand. I smiled and wished we could just stay like this, but the moment was ruined by Marlo and Jarret sitting down at the table with us.

Marlo looked a little upset, and I knew it had something to do with Alexus. Jarret looked annoyed. I decided to just speak to Marlo when we back at the hotel.

"What's wrong, Jarret?"

"That big headed bitch was rude as fuck." He said making us all laugh, even Marlo.

"What she say, fam?" Marlo asked.

"I was telling her she pretty and shit, and this hoe kept saying I know. Yea she cute, but she ain't that damn cute. Wifey, you look way better than her anyway." He said taking one of my fries, making me mug him.

"That ain't yo wifey, nigga." Darren spoke up.

"Aw, shit. I forgot y'all liked each other. Nigga, fuck you. She always gone be mine. I'm just letting you borrow her for a minute." He said playfully.

"You better sleep with one eye open tonight, nigga." I said calmly, making them laugh. Xae came and sat down, smiling. I guess he got some play from one of them.

He whispered something in Darren's ear, making him chuckle and dap him up. Darren told Jarret, then Jarret texted it to Marlo. They were all laughing as I mugged them all.

"Whatever." I said finishing my food. Darren looked at me and I rolled my eyes. I hated being left out.

When we got back to the hotel, my dad still wasn't here, so I texted him. I haven't seen him all day and it was going on seven o'clock, and I hate being away from here for too long. Self explanatory.

Where are you ?

Dad🌎❤️- handling business why what's wrong

nothing I just miss you & we haven't spent any time together

Dad🌎❤️- we will I promise, princess. I love you

I love you too.

"Who you textin'?" Darren asked as he swam up to me. We were all, except for Xae, at the pool area which was inside, and it was really relaxing.

"My dad." I said.

"You ain't gotta be all dry with me." He said holding on to my thighs to stay afloat. The touch of his hands that close to my sex made me tingle a bit. I guess he noticed because he laughed.

"I'm not being dry, I'm just bored." I said shrugged. He smacked his lips.

"Get in the pool, then."

"I can't swim." I said.

"I'll teach you." He said smirking and I hopped in hanging on to him, with my phone.

"Aye, you gone mess your phone up." Darren said looking at it. I shook my head no.

"My case is waterproof." I said and he nodded, moving us through the water.

"You better not drop me." I said.

"I gotchu." He said staring at my lips, then he licked his and looked into my eyes. My legs were wrapped around his stomach and he was using his hands to hold me up by my back, but I felt them get lower and lower.

I blushed.

"Be careful with my wife, nigga." Jarret said shaking his head.

"Shutup, nigga."
