Three Month Later

I Roll Over & Answer My Phone Its Been Ringing Off The Hook Since I Cut It Back On."Hello?"I Say.

"What's Up Ma? What You Doing?"I Knew That Voice From Any Were It Was Josiah.

"Nothing Much At My Condo Chilling. What You Doing?"I Got Out Of My Bed & Slipped On My House Shoes.

He Laughed"Chilling It's 5 In The Evening Lets Go Get Some Drinks Or Food Or Something."

I Smile."I Gotta Taste For Apple Bee's."

"Aight Ma. I'll See You There In About A Hour."

"Okay."I Hung Up My Phone & Sat It Back On My Dresser.

Since I've Been In Miami I Haven't Had The Chance To Chill Or Hang With Jo, I Just Been Getting My Business Together & Making Sure The Expansion Go The Way I Planned. No I Haven't Moved Here, But I Have Been In Town For A Month & I Bought A Condo.

I Got Into The Shower & Handled My Business. Once I Was Out I Brushed My Teeth & Got Dressed In Some Khaki Shorts, & A Yellow Polo T-shirt. I Took The Bonnet Off My Head Letting My Straight Hair Fall To The Middle Of My Back, I Quickly Put A Part In The Middle & Applied Some Lipstick To My Lips & Slipped On My White Sandals.

My Phone Vibrated & I Had A Text From Jo.

Josiah😋: Wya?

Me: About To Leave. Wya? 👀

Josiah😋: Finna Pull In At Apple Bees You Late Ma. 😂

Me: Ik I'm Sorry. 😕

Josiah😋: Just Hurry.

I Locked My Phone & Slipped It In My Back Pocket. I Grabbed My Car Keys & Headed Out. Once I Made It To Apple Bee's I Spotted Jo Sitting At A Table With A Girl. Her Hair Was All Messy, Her Clothes Were Torn & She Looked Dusty.

"Hi."I Say In A Awkward Way Before
Sitting Down.

"You Looking Good."Jo Smirked & Licked His Lips.

"Thanks."I Say.

"This Karlie."He Points To The Girl She Look About 16 Or 17.

I Smile Lightly."Hi, I'm Maleah."

She Waved."Will Yall Excuse Me I Have To Go To The Bathroom."

Once She Left I Gave Jo A Deadly Look.

"Why You Looking At Me Like That?"

I Roll My Eyes."Why You Bring Her In Here Looking Like That? Like What The Fuck!"

"Look She Was On My Turf Man. She Said She Was Hungry & Anit Have No Were To Go So I Scooped Her Up, Calm Down."

I Folded My Arms."This Better Not Be No Fucking Hood Love Story Type Shit Were You Pick Up A Girl Off The Streets & She End Up Falling In Love With You & She's Way Younger. How Old Is She Anyway."

He Laughed."Me Falling In Love With A 16 Year Old? You Bullshitting Ma, That's Way Outta My League I Know Better. Niggas That Do That Shit Must Can't Get No Pussy."

"You Say That Shit Now, But Let Me Find Out."I Say.

Our Waitress Finally Came & She Took Our Order, But Karlie Was No Were To Be Found.

"Go Check The Girls Bathroom."

"You Worried About Her Anit You?"I Say As I Get Up.

He Laughed."Nah Man, That's A Lil Ass Girl Ion Want Shit To Happen To Her On My Watch."
