Zara's POV
Now and days, my time is mainly consumed with skimming through emails, DM's, scheduling meetings, managing social media and more things to add my long laundry list of things. If you're having a hard time guessing, I am an assistant. But not just to anyone. I am the assistant to an innovator, founder, director, producer, songwriter, performer, rapper and many other things; Tyler, The Creator. But I passionately know him as; Shithead, Asshole, Gap-tooth, Bigearedfuck, T, oh and my best friend.
Today's shenanigans was just me in the kitchen. Why am I in the kitchen? Because this dork wants a peanut butter, jelly and bacon sandwich?? I swear on everything I love I HATE the way he eats. He manages to find joy in the most polarizing food combinations. It's honestly mind boggling.
Zara: (sets plate down on the counter) Here's your tragedy of a sandwich.
Tyler: (rolls his eyes) You haven't even bothered to try it. Just being all judgy and shit.
Zara: (scoffs) No human being puts anything other than a fruit spread and a nut spread together for this type of sandwich. Only you would add some shit like bacon.
Tyler: (holds out half of the sandwich) Just try it.
Zara: No.
Tyler: Why not? Stop being pussy!
Zara: I'm not I just don't want any parts of this!
Tyler: (gets up from his seat) Come on! Just try it!
At this point, we were basically dancing around the counter with me trying to dodge him and him trying to catch me. I somehow forgot I had socks on because I decided to try and make a dash for it but ended up sliding and landing straight on my ass.
Tyler: Ha! I got your ass.
He bent over me and tried to stick the sandwich in my mouth. I kept turning my head and attempting to squirm away from him until I grew tired.
Zara: Alright! Just back up, damn!
I snatched the half out of his hand and took a bite. I wasn't sure at first so I took another bite and nodded in appreciation.
Zara: This actually isn't bad. It's a sweet and savory flavor.
Tyler: (smirks) I told you, Ra. You need to stop being so closed minded and just try shit. The worst that can happen is that you don't like it.
Zara: Or get food poisoning messing around with you.
Tyler: (smacks his lips) It was one time! When are you gonna let that go?
Zara: Never.
I got up from the floor and dusted myself off.
Zara: Now hurry up and eat. We gotta go! You're not about to have Clancy on my ass again about us being late for yet another year overlook meeting.
Tyler: We wasn't even that late last year though...
Zara: T...we were half an hour late. Now come on.

The meeting lasted for about two and a half hours and now we were on our way to meet up with Lionel, Jasper and Travis for lunch.
Zara: So out of ALL the places we could've went to, you chose panda express??
Tyler: Because they're solid. The fuck. Always there for me and never failed me.
