Von Washington (V) 📍 da crib " fly shi only . " -----------------------------
I sat laid back on the couch, smoking my blunt. Shit hit the fan recently, my mama was diagnosed with some brain-eating cancer shi. Ian even knew why I felt upset. I was left ha years ago and the news made its way to me last night. My mindset has always been fuck ha for years. She used me, got me locked up, beaten, and targeted by gangs. I ran away when I turned 16, living by myself ever since. I've only tried leaving allat behind.
Soon Jas came down. "C'mon V, time for bed." She instructed. I sucked my teeth and nudged her away. "Mane ion wanna go. Just leave me here." I replied, whining but she wasn't having it. She lifted me and pushed me up the stairs. "Ion know if you not used to being taken care of but you need to get your life together and stop sulking." She said. She talked just like my mamma. I stared at her well-put-together face, her strong tone. "As if you got yo shit together," I said and she sucked her teeth and me making me laugh.
We made it to my room after all that fussing I created. I laid back on the bed blunt still in hand. I puffed it towards her face and she slapped my leg while sucking her teeth. I laughed for a good minute after too. I put it out and left it on my bedside table, she walked out of the room while I got back up to get ready myself.

I wrapped my towel around my waist, drying my dreads with a T-shirt. I stepped into my closet and grabbed some boxers, a black tee, and some black sweatpants. It didn't take long for me to change and lay back down. My lights were dimmed and my PC was flashing some photos of my favorite rappers. I remembered a rap that was stuck in my head earlier and started rapping it out loud.
"Baby wyd? Baby I've been missing you." I sang along to the song in my head. Jasmine knocked at my door before creaking it open. I had bought some Doordash if you want some." She offered with a black plate in her hand. I nodded and climbed off the bed. She handed me a plate of sweat and spicy wings from Popeyes. "Thanks," I said and she nodded. She watched me bite into one of the wings. "DAMNNN NIGGA! You didn't eat dinner?!" She yelled while laughing.
I admired her pearly white teeth. You do this shit all the time. Stop falling into love bruh. I said to myself and dropped my smile. I sat at my desk and she left the room.
I munched on the wings and wiped my fingers with a paper towel. Once I was finished, I stood up from the chair and strolled out of my room. I held the sauce-filled plate in my hand as I walked down the stairs toward the kitchen. The kitchen lights were dimmed as I set it inside the sink and ran the water over it. I couldn't stop thinking of my momma and my stomach was starting to do flips.
I headed towards my room and once I got in, I shut the door and turned off the lights. I laid back down and grabbed my LED light remote. I turned the color to a dark blue and put my Airpods back into my ears. I started listening to 'Shame' by Summer Walker. Yes, I'm a nigga who listens to Summer Walker, get you a nigga like me.
Eventually. I fell asleep with my AirPods only to be woken up hours later.
"Von. Von. Wake up." Jasmine shook me awake. I groaned, opening my eyes slowly to Jasmine in my face. "Bru what," I said slowly. "Do you got pills..?" Jasmine asked before pulling me to sit up. I wiped my eyes and sat silently waiting for my mind to adjust. "Mhm, top drawer in da bathroom. You on yo shit?" I asked and she nodded. She turned on the bathroom light and walked in before coming back out two minutes later.
"I had a dream 'bout lil dude from school. I can't get him out ma mind bruh. And yo room is warmer, you mind if I lay witchu..? Nothing like that. Guarantee." She softly spoke and I agreed out of nothing. I wasn't thinking right and I couldn't care less, I just wanted to go back to sleep. She left the room and came back by the time I was half asleep. She climbed onto the bed and adjusted herself on the left side of the bed.
She covered herself with the blanket and finally settled down. We slept quietly for a while.
NO ONE POV: 6:23 AM .
Von's body got closer to Jasmine's as he swung his arm around her. He was fast asleep and so was she but their bodies absorbed each other's body heat. Von got closer to the point where his head rested in the crook of her neck.
They lay for a moment, quiet and settled. Their bodies were close and warm. The sun crept up and shined through Von's thin white curtains. It lit up the room. A few hours passed before Jasmine woke up. She sat staring at the wall until her mind was completely made up. She looked around the unfamiliar room before feeling the heavy arm around her waist. It clung to her thighs.
She looked over her shoulder to see Von sleeping. She laid back down and grabbed her phone from under the covers. Today was Saturday and it was already 10 AM. She decided to just take in the moment but before she did she made sure she had no plans.
Jasmine inched closer to Von, suddenly startled by the print that could be felt through his pants. She shook Von awake softly.
JASMINES POV:
Von yawned and opened his eyes to see me right next to him. He laid back down and pulled the covers over his head. Okay, someone is clearly not a morning person. I sat up and slowly crept out of the room and into my own bedroom. It's been some time so I've just been saying MY room. Anyway, I stepped into the bathroom and began running the hot water. I quickly stripped and got into the shower.
The water ran over my head as I bent down to grab the shampoo. I was going to do a curly hairstyle in the meantime until my lace front arrived at the AirBnb for my upcoming birthday. I scrubbed my scalp and rinsed out my hair shortly after.
