"Nigga, that wasn't a fucking foul." Chris shouted into the headset while sucking his teeth. "Yeah, aight. All I need is a touchdown on yo' ass," He laughed following by a sigh. Currently playing his game of football on the console, headset on battling his best friend in a game that he's been doing for the past three hours with only a bathroom break in between...

You were getting bored.

He told you to come over earlier because he missed you but since you got here, it's been you, him, and this damn game.

Now of course you didn't mind it too much. He likes your company and your presence to be in the same space as him. That's why you don't really mind coming over. But if he's not giving you a lick of attention that's where you draw the line.

Sighing, your feet dragged in your slides against his floors to the living room where he still was seated of course and you took a seat on the end of the couch; bored.

Glancing over at you briefly, "Hold up, bae. I'm almost done." he mumbled eyes still never leaving the screen and the sound of the controller buttons being pressed repeatedly filling in the silence of the room.

"You said that an hour ago," You rolled your eyes.

He chuckled, thinking it was funny, "I mean it. Just let me win this shit real quick,"

Huffing, you leaned back on the couch getting irritated as the seconds flew by and he was still playing and yelling into the headset with his friends.

"Yeah, nigga. I'm on that ass,"

Deciding on taking matters into your own hands, you grabbed a pillow from the side of you and tossed it at him, hitting completely in his head knocking the headset off and onto the floor.

"Yo!" He shouted at you in shock.

"Yo yourself!" You clapped back as he sucked his teeth. "You said you were going to get off five times in the past two hours and haven't."

"Aight, but let me wrap this up, baby. Damn."

"I'll do you one better," You spoke and stood up putting your shoes back and grabbing your phone and keys walking to his front door. You almost made it when a hand grabbed your waist and stopped you before you even had the chance to reach the door handle.

"Aight, mama, chill." He told you in your ear and you let out a breath turning to him with your arms crossed over your chest. "Relax, baby. I apologize."

"I came over here to do shit with you not watch you play video games with your friends all day."

"I get it, I'm sorry, okay?" He smiled politely at you before leaning down and kissing the side of your neck trailing his lips up to cheek and then to your lips engulfing you in a full kiss causing you to melt. He knew exactly what to do get you to stay. Giving you one last kiss, he pulled away with a devious look on his face making you raise an eyebrow. "Uncross these arms, fix ya' face,
give your man a smile."

You did two out of the three request and he sucked his teeth seeing you still with a frown on your face.

"Why you gotta be like that?"

"Are you done playing your game?"

Sighing, "Nah but look-"

"No!" You turned around about to head to the door again.

"Baby," He laughed softly, wrapping his arms around you from behind and grabbing you away from the door, walking back to his living room. Face in your neck, you rolled your eyes once you two reach the couch again and sat back down. Chris picked up the headset and put it on halfway but not picking up the controller yet. "Aye, we gone have to wrap it up. My girl here and I gotta give her my time, aight?"

You couldn't hear what was being said but you assumed his friends let him go as he went to the home screen of his game. Handing you the controller and headset, you raised an eyebrow at it and he snickered ushering you to take it.

"I don't wanna play football," You whispered and he snorted standing up and walking over to his many games he had.

"We got GTA, I already taught you how to play that, Dead Island, Modern Warfare, 2k, Fortnite, MJ the Experience, Black Ops- pick yo' poison, baby," He placed all the games down in front of you and you looked at them before looking back at him. "Don't look at me like that. I don't even know what you wanna do, for real. So we can either play the game together, order food, smoke, and chill under each other or we can figure something out and go out but I really just wanna chill with my girl."

The only thing that stood out to you the most was Call of Duty so that's what you chose and handed to him which made a goofy smile spread on his face as he excitedly popped the game in and took a seat next to you, spreading his legs and patting the spot in between them advising you to sit there.

"You just wanna touch me,"

"And do," You shook your head but still took the opportunity and moved in between his legs where he handed you the controller and rested his hands on your thighs while snuggling his face in your neck.

The game started and he put you on story mode so that it was easier to learn and get the hang of rather than just throwing you into the battlefield of online gaming immediately.

"Aight, now press X when it tells you to and you gone take out that nigga right there. You already doing good, baby."

You did as told but then the game stopped and said you killed one of the members on your squad which got you irritated.

"Ion wanna play no more,"

"You ain't even give it a chance." He laughed and pressed the button to restart and you sighed feeling him kiss your neck again. "You gotta shoot the niggas in green not black. Black is your team,"

Taking what he taught you, you shot only the people in green before the game let you go to the next stage.

"See, you doing good."

"Better than you." You smiled and he snickered.

"Now Ion know about all that."

"Well, what level are you on online?" You turned your head to look at him quickly before back at the game.

"Level 808 or something like that." He shrugged and you scrunched your face up. "Mama, I eat, sleep, and breathe this game. Think I love it more than I love you."

"Oh, you know what-"

"I'm fuckin' with you." He laughed and wrapped his arms around you kissing the side of your face repeatedly. "You know I adore yo' fine ass."

"Hm...you be on this game more than you be on me."

"Oh, don't trip. I'm finna be on you right after we wrap this shit up."
