A Lil Bit of Love

Harlem POV
📍Thembe's Crib
13:00pm

I nervously get out my car and head to the door. I open my boot and take out a few bags. I got some stuff for my girl, a few groceries and a few gifts for her parents. I hope they like Cartier, she said they like gold and meat so hopefully this will suffice. I asked Aries to grill me some meat to take to 'em. I trust Red so I know they'll like it.

My palms are all sweaty and shi, I'm nervous ah hell. I ain't never met a girl's folks. Shi feel weird bro. I haul the bags outta my car and walk towards the front door. I ring the number 78 and wait for a reply.

"Hey Baby!" I smile as I look upward recognising my baby voice. "Hola mami" She gets too blushing and hiding her face. She so cute for that. "I'm coming down!" She said peeking her head out and in. "aii baby" I look down and wait for her to come down.

I see her running down the stairs geeked. I smile at her lil cute self as she lets me in. "Hey baby" she giggles out, "Hey hermosa" I lean over to give her hug but she avoids it. "Uh what's this? You got like 10 bags in yo hands. Baeeee this is too much." She said giggling running around in a spot. I chuckle at her lil cute self.

She wraps her arms around my neck and pulls me in. "No it ain't. I wanna make a good impression" I whisper to her. She buries her face in my neck and we rock together for a lil while before she finally lets go. We share a quick kiss and she turns to lead me up the stairs. A few moments later, we arrive at the door and she turns to me.

"Don't be nervous. It's gon be ok and even if they don't like you we can just run away together." She says rubbing her hands all over me, I laugh a lil, she always do this when she nervous. "It's gon be alright baby. We'll be fine" I say tryna assure her. She gives me a lil smile and a quick kiss on the cheek " ok baby" she says slowly.

She takes a deep breathe and slowly opens the door announcing our presence. "Mama Papa, he's here!" We usher into the room and her parents are sitted on the couch staring at us. I felt my hands get all clammy again. Imma about to go non-verbal in a minute , this too much.

"Good afternoon. Welcome" Her Dad says. I flash a quick smile and put the bags down to shake his hand. I discreetly wipe my hands on my pants and hand my hand over to shake. We shake hands and I greet him "T——Thanks for having me sir" I manage to get out, ah shit. He smiles and releases my hand. Her mum gets up and comes round to give me a hug. " wowu,all these bags for us. Thank you my dear." I peep her accent, it's stronger that T's.

I was a bit surprised by the hug but kinda leaned into it. She lets go and shoots me kisses on either side of my cheek. I kinda stood there frozen, shi got me off guard. "Mama, not too much now" Thembe said tryna pull her ma off of me. "Nonsense. When you bring a man home who brings plenty gifts we must thank him" she said waving her off.

She shakes her head and reaches down to unpack. I stop her in her tracks "it's aii ba-Thembe I'll do it" I grab the bags and head over to the kitchen counter and lay the meat out then remove the Cartier bag to bring it over to the living room. "Ooo. This smell nice." Thembe called out. "Yh Re-Aries made it, should I serve y'all?" I asked.

Her mum stood up and rushed over "no no no my dear. Sit down" Thembe followed suit and interrupted "mama it's fine I'll do it." She started grabbing plates and serving whilst her mama dragged me to the living room. I hid the bag behind my back and brought it out when she sat me on the couch.

"U-uh Here you go ma'am. For you sir. T told me y'all like gold so I got a lil something for the both of you." "YESUUU! Cartier! Wowu!" I flinch at her mama's hyped reaction. T's father matched his wife's energy when I handed his box over to him. I smiled as they hyped over the box before opening it. It reminded me of how I was when I got my first real piece.
