Chapter 6

November 16

I was paranoid about the dream I had all last night. I didn't sleep til 3. I woke up and it was 9:38. I had a text from Braxton.

"Good Morning Princess 💕👑. I'm getting ready now just call me when you ready." Fuck I had forgotten that we were going out for breakfast. "Sorry baby , I just woke up getting ready now."

I got in the shower and brushed my teeth. I need my hair done. I'll probably take my braids out later. I got this Chanel sweater to wear with some light blue jeans and my brown uggs. I left my braids down and just put on a little make up and lip gloss. I had these Chanel earrings and bracelet set to match that i put on.

I texted Braxton "I'm ready." "Ard I'm omw." he texted me. Marquis was still sleep so I took him in Ms.Erica's room and layed him down. "I'm going out to eat with Braxton ." I told her she nodded and grabbed Marquis. Braxton called me. "I'm outside shorrdy." I grabbed my phone and purse and went out.

"Good morning gorgeous ." he said making me blush. Good morning. I said while he kissed my cheek. "Ihop?" "Yeah." We starting driving.I was texting India and telling her where she can find a dress for homecoming which reminded me. "After breakfast can we go to the mall I gotta get a dress for homecoming." Sure baby he said.

We walked into ihop and it wasn't crowded at all thank God. "Just the two of you ?" the waitress said "Yes ma'am." Braxton told her and we sat down. I was nervous as poop. I sat there and just stared at my menu trying not to make this awkward. "Hi I'm Claire I'll be serving you guys today can I start of with drinks?" "I'll take an apple juice." I told her "make that two." Braxton said. "Okay I'll get that right out to you guys." "Thank you." I told her.

"Your so cute." I told him. It kinda slipped I spoke my mind. "I ain't mean to say that out loud but I'm not saying I didn't want to but I just thought that..." he cut me off. "Thanks shorrdy but your cuter." "Aww."

"Here you guys go to apple juices." Claire said siting them in front of us. "You two need some more time to order?" "No we're ready now." he said. "you can start with my princess first." I smiled "I'll take a short stack with a side of turkey bacon." I told her . "and I'll take French toast with scrambled eggs and cheese. "Okay I'll take your menus and place this in it should be out in about 10 minutes."

"I need my hair done." I told him looking at myself in my phone camera. "I gotchu for homecoming." He told me. "Thanks ugly." I told him.

••Braxton's P.O.V••

Man I got me a cute ass girl. I love this girl with everything in me. "You think about what college you going to?" I asked her. I applied to frostburg and Morgan I told her. "Oh fr? I applied to frostburg too." "I hope we both get in." I said. "true . We gonna be the cutest couple there." she said I smiled at her and winked. Before I could start another conversation , the waitress came back. Damn that was fast. I said as she placed my French toast down and Deja's pancakes.

"Thank you." I told the waitress. It was kinda awkward cause neither one of us was talking, but we were both watching the news so it was cool. Claire came back with the check. I grabbed it from her "Thanks." I told her and pulled out my card. The bill was only $16.23. I handed my card to Clair and waited til she came back. "Where we going baby." "Let's go to Coopertowne mall." she aid and Claire came back , I gave her a $5 tips "Thanks you." Me and Deja said together. "No thank you." she said.

We got to the mall and we went to Charlotte Rouse and Deb to find a dress for Deja. "You like this one?" She asked me . She looked fine as hell in that short black dress but it was a lor too tight and I ain't tryna have these niggas staring at my girl. "it's cute but it's a lor too tight." I told her. "Ya ass too phat for allat." I said making her laugh. "I got this one." She said holding it up. "I like that one better , try it on." I told her . She came back out and I was speechless. "Damn you beautiful." I told her "Aww baby." she said giving me a kiss on the cheek. "I think imma get this one." "Okay, you wanna look for shoes in this store or go to a different one ?" I asked her. "I got these heels and they free with the dress." she told me. Hell yeah my wallet love her.

We went to the buy the dress and she pulled her wallet out her purse. "I got it baby." I told her and payed for the dress and shoes. "You wanna necklace or something ?" I asked her. "I have plenty of jewelry. thanks though." She told me winking. I handed her the bag. "Thank you so much boo. Now we gotta get you something." She said. "Nah I got something home I'm cool." I told her. " "I'll see if i like it later and if I approve." She said walking. I put my arm around her and pulled her close and whispered. "Your so beautiful..." I started singing empire she laughed. "I love you prince charming." She said kissing my cheek. You too princess I told her.

I dropped Deja off and went to my crib. "Where have you been ?" My mom said peeling some potatoes. "I was out with Deja." I told her. "And what did yall do?" She said. "We went out for breakfast and I got her a homecoming dress and some heels." she looked at me and gave me a kiss. "Aw I raised my baby well." she said. I smiled and went up in my room. I texted Deja. ; miss you already baby girl 😩. I said she texted back. ; I miss you more 😩😘. ; baby I'm bout to go to hoop with the bros. I told her. ; Okay baby love you and don't get your ankles broke😂☺️. ;I'll try not too 😂😁. I told her and changed my clothes and went to the court with my bros.

"Ayo wassup?" Dae'Quan said. Me and him were the only ones there. "Nothing. I took Deja out for a little bit earlier but other than that I'm chilling." I grabbed the ball from him and went up for a layup "Cory, Tae, and Chris went to get some Popeyes. We was up here since 11 and they left around 3. " He told me. "Oh ard." I said and we started playing 50 til I heard Serena call me.

"Come here Daddy B." she said but I ignored her. I only wanted Deja and she was everything I could ask for. "Leave my manz alone, he got a whole girl." Dae'Quan told her tryna help me out. "I don't know if she a whole girl she said but." she said . I cut her off. "Don't come for my girl tf." "You wasn't saying that last week when you was eating this..oh nvm." she laughed walking away. "I walked over to her "Bitch nobody was eating ya fucking fishy ass pussy and I don't want ya ugly ass I got mine." I told her. She spit at me "whatever don't play." I charged at her. "chill yo." Dae'Quan said pulling me back. "lets just get out of here man." "better get out of here. Go back to your 32 a bra size girlfriend. I tried to go to her again but Dae'Quan pulled me back. "She ain't worth it man." i drove home heated.

I called Deja cause I knew she would make me feel better. "Baby." I said . "Yes Baby what's wrong ?" She said. "Serena fucking with me. Kept talking shit I was rey bang her but I don't hit females. she just irritate me." I told her. she starting going off, I never saw this side of her.

"If that bitch wanna fuck with you she fucking with me too. She was supposed to come on my block but her bitch ass bluffed. I swear wait til I see her again Imma whoop her ass flat." I laughed . She so cute when she mad. "Princess I didn't know you could turn into the evil godmother." I said laughing. "I didn't know you had a dirty king mouth either. that was dumb." she said. She had already made me feel better. "I love you baby girl. Even though we've only been official since yesterday , I shoulda cuffed you when we started talking heavy but I wanted to make sure I was able to give you my all." "Aww baby I love you too. I loved your chocolate ass since we were partners in that science project." she said bringing back memories. Damn me and her go back. "Our volcano exploded and everyone screamed." I said laughing. "Yeah those were the days. I remember that day it was 1-23-07. " She told me ." You remembered the day?" I said. "Yeah, that's the day I fell in love with you." "Awwwww princess." I said.

We talked for hours and hours til she fell asleep on the phone. "Baby?" I said . I said Goodnight princess and hung up. I looked at the time it was 1:23.
