Before I pulled out of Derrick driveway I opened my glove compartment and grabbed my wood. Riya looked at me and then out the window.
She was so pretty. Everything about her made her pretty to me. Her eyes. They made me forget about anyone else in the room. How her lipgloss makes her lips shiny and plump. How she think she be checking sum shit with her lil ass attitude. Her smile. It lights up the whole room.
I lit the wood and hit it a couple times. I put the car in reverse and made my way out the neighborhood. I turned the music up and made my way to the drop off.
*ding ding*
Ariya phone done went off again. This was the third time it went off in the last 5 minutes. I liked Riya a lil bit. She was cool. I had my eye on her for a minute, but to her we just met tonight. I used to do drops with her dad and shit before my older brother went to jail.
Ariya dad helped my brother get some charges dropped but he couldn't do all of them. I appreciated him for that and I still keep in contact.
*ding ding*
I looked at Riya and she was staring out the window. I pulled from my wood again before putting it out. I snatched her phone from off her lap and held it up to her face. She couldn't even react before i started reading the notifications.
"Bru wdf? Get out my phone my niggas dont play dat." She said snatching her phone back.
"Yea you ain't fucking stupid." I said laughing her off.
"Don't ever snatch my phone from off my lap like that again. I'll beat yo ass." She said getting on her phone.
"Yea ok." I said back pulling up to the drop off location. I pulled up and put my car in park. I looked down at my phone to let em know I was here.
"Grab that bag out the back for me mama." I said to Riya still looking at my phone.

I hearted the message and closed my phone. Riya grabbed the bag from the back and handed it to me.
"Can you take me to get something to eat?" She asked lowly looking at me. I opened the door and grabbed the bag from her.
"Yea i gotchu." I said getting out the car. I walked up and handled business. I got my money and went on bout my day. I stay out the way. Yea I sell weed and shit but I'm just with getting money. If shit gets like that then that'll be that.
My dad was well known in the streets. He ended up dying behind that shit. And because he was so well known everybody automatically knew me and my brother. We had a lil sister too. Her spoiled ass.
When my brother went to jail, I shut everybody out. He wasn't getting out no soon and it made me look at life differently. My dad's death played a big role in that too.
Fuck that nigga though, he chose the streets over his family. I can't forgive him for the pain he put my momma through. My brother started doing dumb ass shit behind it too. I hope him dying was worth his family.
I walked back to the car making sure I had the right amount of money. I opened the door and got in the car. Riya was staring at me with her pretty ass. I just smirked and finished counting the money. I closed the door and put the car in reverse.
"What you want to eat?" I asked her reversing and leaving out the neighborhood.
"Umm. Zaxbys." She said looking at me.
"I gotchu." I said back. She smiled and looked out the window. I made my way to Zaxby's while she scrolled on her phone. She was real quiet. Didn't really say much, she mostly just observed her surroundings or stayed on her phone. She minded her business and I loved that.
"What you want?" I asked her pulling up to the drive-thru.
"Loaded fries." She said looking at the menu.
"Hello, welcome to Zaxby's. What can I get for you?" A girl said over the speaker.
"Yea, can I get an order of loaded fries." I told the girl.
"What drink can I get for you?" She asked.
I looked at Riya and she looked at me. She thought for a minute and whispered "sweet tea". I scrunched my face up and turned back to the window to get her nasty ass drink.
"A sweet tea." I said to the girl.
"Ok, your total is $12.07. You can pull up to the first window." She replied.
I pulled up to the first window and looked at Riya. She had her card in her hand and I looked down at it.
"Get out my face Riya." I told her as I grabbed a $20 bill out of the money I just got from the drop off.
"No Malik here." She said trying to pass her card to me still.
"Ok Riya." I said grabbing her card.
"Your total is $12.07" The girl at the cash register said through the window.
"Here." I said passing her the $20 bill.
"You can keep the change." I told her as I passed Riya her card back.
"Bru Malik I told you to use my card. Why would you do that?" She questioned me.
"Stop being so stubborn. Just say thank you and gon bout yo day." I said grabbing the food from the girl. I passed it to Riya and her whole face lit up when she seen the food.
"Omggggg I'm so damn hungry." She said basically snatching the food out my hands.
"Damn lil mama hold on." I said laughing at her. I pulled off from the window and made my way back to Derrick's house. I looked over at Riya to see her fucking them loaded fries up. I laughed to myself and focused back on the road.
