4:12 P.M."Can I ask you something?"
"Go ahead ma" She said as I laid on her chest.
"What's your name?" I asked.
"Drogo"
I mugged her.
"Ghost" She smirked
"Drogo stop playing" I pouted.
"Nah fr it's Kiara but you can call me Kiare"
"Your name is pretty" I smiled.
"Preciate it"
"I knew what it was, I just wanted to see if you would lie"
She chuckled.
"Yea, Ghost is my nickname out in the streets"
"Streets? As in you gang bang?"
"Yea" She replied.
"That's where I got this scar from" She replied.
"I got ambushed by folks who I thought was cool with me" She said.
I gently caressed her face.
"A shawty I was talking to got me set up. Ever since then I really don't be quick to hop into relationships"
I listened.
"You're different though. I felt drawn to you and felt something more genuine being with you"
"I promise I'm not going to hurt you Drogo" I said quietly.
"I know" She said kissing me.
"You're so strong" I replied.
"Gotta be, street life ain easy"
"I remember when I first got into this street shit and got my first body. Shook me up. Still does til this day. But i've gotten used to it now" She said.
"Omggg she kill people? We're meant to be 😩" Sariyah replied.
Sariyah hush.
"You've been killing lately?" I asked.
"Nah, I try not to kill unless it's absolutely necessary. Sometimes I have to. Kill or be killed is the rule of the streets" She said.
I frowned.
"What's wrong ma?" She asked noticing my face.
"I don't want to lose you Drogo" I said as my eyes watered.
"Chill out ma, I'm not going to go anywhere. I promise"
"Don't cry ma, ain nothing to cry over fr" She said wiping my tears.
