A Quiet Place

12.

Blake Brielle Woods
Friday

I let out a shaky breath as Sky redoes this messy bun for the third time.

"Oh my gahhh, ain't supposed to be messy anyways?" I asked her, irritated because I'm nervous.

"Mmcht girl yes but it has to be the perfect messy, ya'know?" She asked, ignoring the irritation in my voice.

"No."

She lets my hair down, "You know what- its okay. Your hair down will look better wit da fit. Come on." She said putting my hair in a pony.

I stand up and go in front of my bed, "Why you put my hair inna pony-"

She cuts me off, "Sooo you can put your clothes on and after I can fix your hair. Wouldn't wanna mess up your hair while puttin yo shirt on."

I hum and nod.

She goes into my closet then comes on 5 minutes later, "Here- hurry and put them on." She goes over to my dressed- where my jewelry is- and start picking stuff out.

"You not gon leave?" I asked.

She looks back at me with an annoyed expression, "Nigga, put ya damn clothes on. It's not like I'm tryna see yo flat ass."

I mug, "Definitely not flat boo.." I mumble.

She chuckles, "Right."

I roll my eyes and put my clothes on. She picked out camo pants, a "sinful youth" zip-up, and Maisom Mahara shoes.

I go in front of my mirror and look at the fit. Sumn throwin this off. I unzip the hoodie a little and nod.

"Come onnnn." Sky drags out.

I walk over to her.

"Here, put these on in this order." She points to the 3 necklaces laid out in order- longest to shortest. "Then the nugget earrings and I'm finna find your smell goods, okay?"

I nod and put on my jewelry, "My hair?" I asked putting on my last earring.

She closes one of my perfume bottles, "Oh shi- come here."

I walk over to her and she does whatever to my head.

"There, put this perfume and this cologne on. Then come downstairs, Jordan said she needed to talk to you before you leave. Have fun sis" She hugs me and leave.

I do as told before looking at my outfit again. I nod my head at my appearance. Not to eat my own coochie and squirt but I look sexy asshittt.

I grab my phone and wallet then head downstairs. I look in the living room to see if Jordan was in there- she wasn't.

I call out her name and she says she's in the kitchen. I make my way in there and sit at the bar.

"All I gotta say is- don't do anything you're not uncomfortable doing. Follow your heart but also listen to your mind. Stay safe and be aware. I love you, okay?" Jordan said, with her hand on my shoulder.

I chuckle at the act, "Okay, I love you." We hug before hearing a knock at the door.

Sky comes rushing down the stairs, "Okay be safe and have fun. It's gonna go great cus you fine as hell, okay?" She hyped me up.

I nod and let out an 'Okay'. I open the door..

Kha'Mazi Noelle

I take a breath before knocking on her door. I wait before I'm met with Blake. I take in her appearance before doing something unexpected- I hug her.

Me, I, Kha'Mazi had hugged Blake first..??? Crazy right?

I pull away from the hug to see Blake looking at me surprised but she still smiled and took my hand. I open her door for her and make my way to my side.

We listen to music on the way there.

When I park the car in front of the restaurant, Blake asks, "What's this?"

I type, "I know you love to eat, so I brought to a soul food restaurant. Is that okay?"

I hope it is

She reads it before cheesing, "Yesss, lesgoo." She said, getting out.

I smile a little and get out. I open the door for her before telling the waitress that I had reservations.

When we make it to the table I type out, "Next time wait for me to open your door."

She shrugs, "What if I wanted to open your door?"

I type, "You didn't come over to open it tho"

"uhh, Yeen give me time to." She said, clearly lying.

I quietly chuckle, "You stood in front of the car, you didn't try to come open the door. its okay lol."

She playfully rolls her eyes while I just look at her.

She's so pretty.

I type out, "You're very pretty."

She reads it before smiling, "Thank you, you are too Maz."

I smile at the nickname before going around the table to her side, I needed to be closer to her. I don't know why but I had the urge to be closer.

"Why'd you move?" Blake asks, looking up
from the menu.

I just grab her hand and look through the menu
myself.

Throughout the whole date, Blake was talking and I was listening and observing her while she talked- paying close attention while she talked about certain things. Taking note for later..

When we got in the car, Blake sighed in contentment. I look over at her before smiling and heading to the park she took me to.

I park the car before grabbing a pre- roll and lighting it. The whole time I'm doing so, Blake observes my swift motions.

I take a hit before doing a "come here" motion with my fingers to Blake. When she comes closer I grab her neck and exhale slowly- shot gunning with her. She gets closer to my lips and inhale before turning to the side to release the smoke. She takes the blunt, hits it, then shot gun it. After I release the smoke she grabs my face and place a delicate kiss on my lips.

The kiss held emotion.. Like she was scared but willing. The kiss made me want to kiss all over her face and tell her that I'm not going to intentionally hurt her. That she's safe with me.

Before she could fully back away, I gently grab her chin and kiss her gently- letting the kiss linger.. A kiss of reassurance.
