Tulani
The morning after...
"Girl I got wayyyyy too drunk last night" Mahogany said while rolling a blunt and laughing. I laughed with her as we talked about our night, "Then them niggas got to fighting and I'm like, girl we gotta go." We started smoking and I gave her a look. "I know that look, what bullshit you gotta say Tulani," She said while giving me a stern look. "You're bestie is kind of -" she immediately stopped me while looking at me in disbelief. "Girl no you are a nurse, I love Ivante but he's trouble, trouble you don't need cuz," She said while shaking her head. I swear he had to be spying on us because my phone buzzed and sure enough it was him

"Who just texted you?" Mahogany asked and I showed her my phone. She gasped lightly before looking up at me, "Babes I'm serious, be careful with him. That's a real street nigga." I nodded in response, I understand she wants to keep me safe but like Ivante said last night I'm a grown woman.

"He's smooth I'll give him that, and he's cute," I say to myself while blushing. "He asked me on a date," I said to Mahogany with a big smile on my face. She smiled back but did her usual warning, be careful and stay weary. "Shit I gotta find something to wear," I say while rushing to my closet, hearing Mahogany laugh at me scrambling.
Later that day...
After hours of fumbling through clothes I finally walk down stairs to show Mahogany the final outfit

"Yesss girl that bad bitch energy is going crazy right now" She said with a smile. I grabbed my purse and my phone off the couch and I noticed it was 7:20. "Fuck I'm late" I said while waving goodbye to Mahogany and rushing outside.

"Damn ma, all that for me?" He asked while smiling and licking his lips. "Boy you aren't that special," I said mockingly even though my blush at his words showed differently. He opened the door and I got in before he got in himself and pulled off. "Where are we going?" I asked, looking at him and he just smirked. "It's a surprise ma," He said as I rolled my eyes. The suspense was killing me honestly. As we kept riding I noticed we were in the nicer part of Atlanta. "Where the fuck" I thought to myself while looking at Ivante, he didn't strike me as the boujee type. After riding a little while longer we pulled up to benihana. "I loveeeee Japanese" I said as I smiled. "I read your mind," Ivante joked before getting out and opening my door.

As dinner went on I got to know Ivante a lot more. This nigga is thugged out actually omg. But he's very sweet and a gentleman when he wants to be. Not to mention he's been on his own since a teenager which shocked me, I couldn't imagine being by myself at 16. But that shows how different we grew up. I couldn't lie like I didn't like the change. I told him a good bit about myself as well and his ass couldn't stop laughing. I grew up without having to worry about gunshots or someone dying from violence. Like I told him I grew up very much preppy and it wasn't until Mahogany moved with me from across town for a year when we were in middle school that I actually got a chance to understand the other side, which is the reason me and her are so close and she wants to keep me sheltered. Overall the night was going well and I was definitely enjoying Ivante's company... maybe a little too much. "I'll be right back I need to go to the ladies room" I said as I got up to go to the bathroom and he nodded. "Don't sneak out on me now shawty," He said with a laugh and I laughed with him before going to the bathroom. I gave myself time to compose myself and wash my hands before coming out, when I did this random man blocked the walkway back to my table. "May you please move sir?" I asked with an annoyed look. The man spoke slurred words showing he was obviously drunk as fuck so I tried to move past him and he started to grab on me. I squealed loud while trying to break free from his grasp when suddenly the man's weight was lifted. I took a deep breath and tried to calm myself down until I turned around. Ivante was beating the shit out this man, I stood there in shock for a second not knowing what to do exactly. "Ivante come onnn that's enough" I said while trying to pull him off. He stopped immediately after I touched him and got up, grabbing my hand and walking me back to his car. The ride home was silent, He started playing that trap shit as soon as we got in the car. I tapped him lightly once we pulled back up to my house and he looked over at me with a faint smile. "You okay lil ma? Ian like how that nigga stepped to you" He said while looking me in my eyes and I nodded in response. "I'm okay, you didn't have to do all that for me though," I said before he kissed me on the forehead and got out to open my door. "And let bro think he superior? nah we don't rock like that," I blushed heavily as I got out of the car. I kissed him on the cheek and walked towards the house, looking back and waving goodbye while smiling before going in the house.
