"where are you trying to take me?" nari asked as quanny kept insisting she get dressed

"don't worry about all dat, just wear sum casual. i kno you like to do ya lil one .. two when it comes to this dressing shit" he laughed, but some truth residing in his joke

"you just mad i dress better than you" she teased

"yeah aight" is all he responded, "but foreal, get dressed" he instructed again. she was hard headed and he hated it.

"can we go some where out the city please, i don't want anybody seeing us" she revealed

"damn shorty, i'm yo side nigga?" he laughed, "whatchu not allowed to have friends?" he questioned. he heard her shuffling over the phone

"no" she said bleakly. you could see her grabbing stuff behind the camera and shuffling things around. "i'm about to shower, ima send my addy"  she said before sending a smile, he was happy she was finally giving into him

"just share yo location with me" he smirked

"boy please, text me when you're here" she said before he heard the three beeps signaling she had hung up. he got a notification from imessage that she started sharing her location with him. he was happy, after a few days of talking over the phone she was already getting more comfortable with him. he did enjoy her presence, enough to want to be around her.

he started his shower as well before picking out an outfit and getting ready to see the girl he's been looking for.

..........

nari finished up her outfit by wearing her gold, heart necklace. she sprayed some perfume before another text came through from quanny telling her that he was waiting for her. she turned to leave her room before she saw kayli creeping

"kayli, don't take anything while i'm gone" nari immediately warned

"i'm not, i'm here to ask where you're going dummy"

"out" is all she said before trying to slide past her sister who was standing in front of the door

"with who?" kayli stopped nari's body from pushing past her

"someone, now please he's outside" nari pleaded. kayli could see the look of desperation in her eyes, so she did what any big sister would do. she followed her outside.

the screen door slammed shut, and nari trudged over the benz that was parked in front of her house. "this isn't what i meant when i said please" nari complained

"girl is this who i think it is?" kayli asked as quanny got out the car to open the door for nari. nari looked back and smiled at her sister before disappearing into the car. she shut the door, only to the roll the window down to help assuage her sisters confusion

"girl since when???" kayli asked with a bunch of question marks on her face

"since never, we're just friends" she explained. kayli looked over at quanny who had a small smirk on his face

"what you want with my sister?" she asked

"i wanna be her friend" he said before they all busted out into a fit of laughter

"where you taking her?" kayli asked

"oh em gee, you're asking too many questions. come on, drive" she urged quanny to push on the pedal

"uh uh, you better answer ya sista" he said with a blunt in his hand he seemingly got from no where

"we're going to laser tag and out to eat" she admitted

"ouu bring me some food back" is all kayli said before she turned and started back toward their house. suppressing her squeal for the sake of her sister.

"what you like to eat?" quanny asked before putting the directions to a laser tag place out of town into his car.

"steak" is all she replied before checking her messages anxiously and looking back up at quanny

"i gotchu" is all he said before he spat something else out, "tell me about this boyfriend, why can't you have friends?"

"he's just protective is all, but he hasn't been spending time with me so i thought it would be dishonest to turn you away" she explained

"i like the way you talk. how old are you?" he asked

"18" she responded proudly

"you a youngin, i'm 26" he replied

"nigga you're old, can you buy me bottle though?" she raised her eyebrow

"shit, i gotchu" he replied gripping the steering wheel and stealing a look at her face. the rest of the drive there was smooth and quiet. they say in a comfortable silence as someone if his music lowly played in the back. kali knew he made music, but refused to look like a groupie so she decided not to mention it until he did. they soon arrived to their destination and again, he got our first to open the door for nari

"such a gentleman" she said

"depends, ion do that shit for my baby mama" he replied, earning a laugh out of nari

they entered the place and registered and waited their turn to be brought into the back of the laser tag place. they made small talk. talking about the weather and such. to kali, this very much felt like a date, and she was anxious that saint would somehow find out she was somewhere doing something she had no business doing.

once it was their turn to go back, quanny kept a steady hand on her back as they suited up and prepared to run around like big ass children. there game started, and it lasted all of 45 minutes before it ended. they had won, but not without quanny yelling at nari the whole time to "get right".

"i'll neva take ya ass on a drill with me" is all he said as they walked back to hand off their gear. she smiled and laughed before taking off the vest and handing it to the attendant

"i think i'm okay with that" is all she replied before she took everything else off. she waited for quanny to be done before they left the place. he opened her door and let her in the car before walking over to the drivers side and starting it up.

"i hope you had fun" he said vaguely

"i had a lot of fun, did you?" she asked, genuinely wondering how he was feeling

"i had fun, i ain't did nothing like that in some time so it was relaxing inna way" he explained the best of his abilities. they soon pulled into the parking lot of a del frisco's steakhouse.

"steakhouse where they white peoples live?" she questioned as he parked

"you said you liked steak" she smiled at his efforts to impress her and took them with grace. it had been a while since a man she was messing with had made her feel like he paid attention or actually cared. but, she wouldn't let herself get too attached to him. they were just friends and they weren't even supposed to be that.
