23 years old
Dallas , Texas
Mora hummed to the music swaying side to side in the kitchen as she swept up the floor. "Can I switch up the tempo ?" She sung along to the music placing the broom back against the wall.
She'd just finished installing Nadia's birthday wig and decided to clean up her house a little. Nadia's party is tomorrow but she still needed to get her a gift.
The next song came on and Residuals by Chris Brown started playing.
( this my shittt ! )
"Don't know when my nights became so complicated
Can't recall my mornings ever being this faded
Maybe this is karma, definition of jaded, oh
This stays on my mind, this stays on my mind
Tryna put a muzzle on my crazy feelings
One minute I'm cool and then the next, I'm tripping, no
With somebody new, I swear she don't deserve this
Wasted on my mind, she's still on my mind
Do we build it up, build it up
Just to let it wash away?
Tell me did I lace you up, lace you up
Just to watch you run away?"
She grabbed her phone off the counter turning it up some more so she could sing her heart out. "Tell me who'sssssss,who's getting all my love!" She sung loudly throughout the whole house.
"Unt' un' Betty White, shut that shit' up." She heard making her jump and turn around coming face to face with Dejah & Mariah.
She smacked her teeth grabbing her phone,pausing the music. "How the fuck y'all get in?" She chuckled at them. "Girl you gave us a key." Dejah looked at her like she was dumb.
"We knocked but ion' think you heard us over the music." Mariah laughed sitting on one of the stools at the counter.
"I forgot I gave y'all a key." The key was only supposed to be for emergencies but they used it every chance they could.
"You still wanna' go to the mall ?" Dejah asked her.
"Mhm lemme go put some shoes on." She walked out of the kitchen & jogged upstairs. She walked in her room and just grabbed the first pair of crocs she saw then grabbed her purse before heading back downstairs.
"Ok i'm ready." She popped a piece of gum in her mouth and grabbed her phone off the counter.
They all headed out the door and she locked up behind herself before walking to the car & hopping in the passenger seat of Dejah's car. "Why you in the backseat ?" She turned around to Mariah with a frown.
"Girl when we rode over here she was sitting in the back." Dejah laughed backing out the driveway. "I love laying down in the back." She shrugged stretching her body out over the seat.
Mora shook her head turning back around facing forward. She unlocked her phone and went to tiktok watching her fyp. The car ride was in a comfortable silence while the radio played lowly. Out of nowhere, Mariah gasped loudly making her turn around thinking something was wrong.
"The fuck' wrong with you ?" Dejah said aggressively glancing back at her then looked back at the road.
"Foolio dead!" She put her hand over her mouth being overly dramatic. "Bitch' you gasping like you dead with him!" Mora smacked her teeth, Dejah bursted into laughter while Mariah mugged both of them.
"You being all dramatic like he was yo' man or some shit." Dejah's laughing got louder, Mora soon joined in laughing with her. "Fuck' both of y'all." Mariah flicked them off.
"I already know they finna' have a field day with his death." Mora shook her head, both of them agreed with her.
Since Dejah was a fast driver it didn't take them long to arrive at the mall. It did take her awhile to find a parking spot tho but she still found one. They all hopped out the car and Dejah hit the lock button on her key waiting until she heard the little lock noise before they started walking.
"Damn' Glorilla should've never dropped that song, it's been 95 degrees everyday since!" Mora fanned herself as they walked towards the mall entrance. Mariah & Dejah laughed at her.
"What store we going to first?" Dejah turned around looking at both of them. "Ion' know' bout' yall but i'm going to Auntie Anne's." Mariah snorted walking away from them.
Everytime Mariah went to the mall she made sure she got her something from Auntie Anne's before shopping for anything.
"I really can't stand that greedy ass hoe." Dejah sighed dramatically as they both watched her walk away.
"Me neither girl." Mora agreed with her.

"These dunks cute as fuck." Mora mumbled to herself walking around in Footlocker. She didn't really know what to get Nadia so she just decided on getting her some cute dunks and a few more things.
"I don't even know her shoe size." She rolled her eyes grabbing her phone out of her back pocket. She unlocked her phone and went to dial her number.
The line rung a few times and it sent her to voicemail. She smacked her teeth trying to think of another way to get in touch with her. The first name that popped in her head was Messiah's but she didn't wanna' call him.
She stared at his contact for a few seconds before finally coming to a decision. "Fuck it we ball." She sighed pressing the call button.
She put the phone to her ear as she walked around the store looking at more shoes. After the third ring she was about to hang up but he answered the phone just before she could. She quickly moved her finger away from the hang up button.
"Hello." His voice came thru the phone. "Hey Siah...is Nadia with you ?" She questioned biting her nails.
"Mhm,she right beside me. I'm finna' put you on speaker."
"Hey Mora!" Nadia yelled in the background making her chuckle. "Hey boo. What size do you wear in dunks ?"
"8.5, why ?"
"Don't worry about that." Mora switched her phone over to the other side holding it between her shoulder and ear. She heard Messiah chuckling before he spoke.
"She just rolled her eyes."
"Mhm well i'll see you guys tomorrow."
"Ight." She took the phone from her ear and hung up. Just as she was putting her phone back in her back pocket, she felt a tap on her shoulder.
She jumped a little and turned around with a frown. "Wassup ma." Jay smiled down at her showing his pearly whites.
"Jay ? please don't tell me you stalking me." She smacked her teeth.
"Youn' even go nowhere fah' me to be stalking you." He rolled his eyes, waving her off. She flicked him off & he chuckled.
Mora was a homebody. If anybody was stalking her, they'd have to watching her from her house. Only way she would leave the house is if she really needed something or if it's a girls night.
"Why you here ?" She asked turning back around to look at the shoes she was thinking about getting for Nadia.
He stepped up standing beside her before he spoke. "I'm here with my homeboys." She nodded slowly not believing him.
Neither one of them said anything after that, just standing beside each other quietly.He stared at her side profile loving the way she looked so pretty effortlessly and never had to do too much.She felt him staring but decided to just ignore it.
"Ima' get these." She mumbled to herself picking up the 'smokey mauve playful pink' low top dunks. He pulled some cash out of his pocket and counted $500 before handing it over to her.
She looked at the money and then looked up at him before chuckling. "I'm buying these for a friend, you can keep it."
"Nah. You can still take it."
She smiled taking it from him and stuffing it inside her purse. "I love your lifeeee." She dragged happily, he smiled licking his lips.
"I love my life too." He laughed, she punched his shoulder.
