"If youn quit talkin' bout Paris, bro," Tashon complains as he walks around my chair to go scrub a plate in the sink.
"What-" I hadn't even noticed I had mentioned her that much.
Momma laughs. She puts another grilled cheese sandwich onto my plate. "You have been talking about her a lot."
Tashon arches an eyebrow. "Don't tell me you like her now."
I cut my eyes at him. "Mind yo own business." As I speak, my phone vibrates in my pocket. I take it out and fight not to smile when I see it's a text from Paris.
Momma simply looks up at me before looking back at the table with a knowing smile. She walks to the sink.
I text Paris back under the table as I absentmindedly chew away at the grilled cheese sandwich.
"Yo, D, can we go to the store?" Tashon suddenly asks, distracting me from my text conversation, even if only for a small moment.
"For what?" I arch my eyebrow.
"I wanna go to Kroger," he says.
I cut my eyes. "For what?"
Tashon sighs like I'm making his life difficult. "I want them lil cookie things."
"Man..." I suck my teeth. "Why we can't go to 7 Eleven or sumn for that?"
"Cause Ion want the snack shi- stuff." Momma arches her eyebrow at him from where she is scrubbing counters. "I want the baked goods."
"Fine, whatever. But I'm not buyin' anything." I finish the last bit of my sandwich and get up, putting my plate in the sink and adjusting my chain.

"Girl, get off that damn phone."
I look up to see Londyn cutting her eyes at me. We're sitting on the couch watching Descendants 2. "Uma finna sing ha lil song."
I chuckle and hit the power button on my phone. I watch as the song starts. It's my favorite part of the movie, so I'm glad Londyn got my attention.
"Who you textin' anyway?" She asks as we watch the screen.
"Demauree," I shrug.
"Of course," Londyn smirks. "I still don't know how much I like him with you but y'all seem happy, so why y'all not together yet?"
"I don't know." I shrug again. I have thought about this, though. I can't even lie, I want to be Demauree's girlfriend. I want to go on dates with him and cuddle with him and all that cute stuff. But I just haven't said anything about it yet, and neither has he.
It's not that I don't like where we are, but I would appreciate more.

Zareya gasps in offense. "You bitch!"
Londyn giggles menacingly and says "Draw four, girlypop."
Zareya sucks her teeth and gives Londyn a murderous look before taking four cards from the Uno deck.
