"fuck jasmine, we ran out of flour for the chicken." my best friend shouted over the loud music that was playing as the strong smell of soul food circulated throughout the warm air.
me and my best friend always loved cooking ever since we were younger, we made it a thing to do soul food sunday every week.
"okay i'll run to the store real quick, i have to get some more cheese for the macaroni anyway." I said sighing before picking up my car keys out of the small marble bowl that sat on the countertop.
"get me some peach rings while your there pleaseeee." jasmine shouted out before i rolled my eyes walking out the door. her and these damn peach rings.
i began to crank up my car before pulling out of the rather large parking garage.
"damnnn everybody and their grannies here today." i said to myself as i drove through the packed parking lot searching for an empty spot.
after what it felt like light years i found a spot which another car was trying to get into, but it's every man for himself with these parking lots.
i grabbed a hand cart and made my way throughout the busy supermarket. i quickly realized the reason it was so busy, was because of the seafood sale they were running. louisiana folks cannot take a break from seafood.
i skimmed over the long aisles as i searched for the flour and oil aisle. it wasn't long before i spotted the flour. just as i was about to walk off i felt someone practically burning a hole in the back of my head.
i turned around to see a tall lightskin male figure with dreads which were in two ponytails. with him, there stood another male which i couldn't tell the race, but he had long hair and blinding grills.
i quickly turned back around trying not to make things awkward. i began searching for jasmines peach rings and soon realized they only had pineapple and blueberry. i knew jasmine would look at me in disgust if i bought the pineapple, so i played it safe and went with blueberry.
i walked over to self checkout before placing my hand cart down. I was not about to wait in those long lines. i began scanning my items as i watched the familiar two faces walk into self checkout.
i brushed it off and continued to pay. I felt a cold breeze brush from behind me and i immediately took in a strong smell of cologne. i watched as a light skinned tattooed hand apple paid for my groceries.
i instantly turned around in shock to see the two familiar males walking away from the checkout.
"hey- wait." i said speed walking in attempt to catch up to them.
the tall male turned around, making direct eye contact with me as i stood puzzled.
"why'd you do that?" I said reaching for my wallet to repay him. "nah youn gotta give me yo money, i got enough of that." he said. I melted inside as his soothing thick louisianan accent spoke out.
"okay, but why?" i said putting my wallet away. "jus doin good deeds fa a pretty female." he said licking his lips and smirking. I didn't know who this man was, and i didn't care in the moment either.
"well thank you." I said smiling before attempting to walk off. I felt someone grab my arm before i quickly turned around.
"aye tho, lemme see yo phone real quick." I was skeptical but i handed it to him anyways. i watched as he brought the top of our phones together to meet each others.
"text me when you get home mama." he said before walking away. i smiled and nodded as i walked off internally screaming.
i rushed home, urgent to tell jasmine what had just happened.
i burst through the door with the singular bag in my hand considering i only went for three things.
" y/n what the fuck??" my bestfriend yelled out shocked in how i flung the door open. "girl you will not believe what just happened." i said walking up to the marble counter and setting the grocery store bag down.
"better be unbelievable if you bursting in here like the damn federal government." she added laughing.
i went on telling her all about the grocery store and watched as her face dropped at almost everything.
"whattttt? you better text him! i'm tryna get at his friend too." jasmine spoke out. "girll please, you don't even know what that man looks like not to mention if he's single or not." i said taking the groceries out of the bag.
*ding*
"oh shit." i said as jasmine looked at me and started cheering. "he texted meeee" i said as i bit my finger.

"omfg i can't believe ts." i said as i rushed to clean up around the well sized apartment. "girl we just deep cleaned earlier.. what you cleaning the air..?" jasmine said as she watched me tidy up the living room.
"i'm just tryna make sure it looks presentable, yk how i am jas." i said rolling my eyes. "yeah a huge germaphobe." jasmine said mumbling.
"i'll tell him not to bring his hb keep playing with me." i said laughing. "noo you got it, tell him the food ready." the short dark skinned girl said from the kitchen.
i texted him, sending my location in the process.
"okayy done" i said fidgeting with my necklace.
15 minutes passed before we heard two rhythmic knocks. me and jasmine immediately looked at each other and started panicking. "go open the door y/n ..." jasmine said making a pushing motion.
"fuck no you go open it, you the one who want the nigga.." i said pushing her towards the door. "yooo?" we heard someone call out from the other side of the door. me and jasmine instantly froze and started silent laughing.
"woo hold on let me catch my breath before you open it." jasmine said. i walked towards the door and turned the knob to reveal two familiar looking figures.
