Excuse my mistakes.

Carter

"Leilani ion know what to do." I groaned running my hand down my face. After showering and putting on a new set of clothes I asked Leilani to meet me at Hooters for lunch.

She propped her elbows up on the table and gave me a look as she sipped her daiquiri.

"Carter it's obvious the girl just wants love. She ain't use to a real man she likes fuckboys apparently but soon enough she'll realize she has a good thing. Don't rush for love if it's meant to be it'll find you." She spoke shrugging her shoulders.

"I want love though. I'm twentyfour years old finna be twentyfive I have my life on track I'm ready to get married and start a family." I explained.

"A real man would have stayed and claimed what's his title or not you know that girl don't want him so why you even tweaking right now?" She asks giving me a long hard stare.

I shrugged taking in everything she's saying , I'm bugging forreal.

"You smart , I appreciate that." I pointed my index finger at her , she looked at me for a second before laughing.

"Okay Dj Khaled , anyways why don't you just get Tev or somebody to handle him?" She questioned tilting her head . I instantly shook my head , ion need people handling my situations for me.

"I'm a man I can handle him." I told her as her phone vibrated. While she looked at her phone I played around with my food.

"Oh my gosh." She exclaimed I looked up and seen her covering her mouth.

"What?" I asked trying to peek at her phone.

"I got the job!" She squealed wiggling in her seat. I let her have her moment before congratulating her.

"I start Monday." She cooed smiling.

"I'm proud of you Babygirl , lunch is on me." I told her seriously. It's rare to find twenty year olds that's doing good for themselves in society today.

"Free food!" She smiled doing her happy dance. I chuckled and shook my head.

"After this you wanna go bowling?" She questioned with a smile. I sighed , ion wanna ruin her moment but I wanna go apologize to Ebony.

"If you don't that's fine." She said that hella quick , I chuckled.

"Bowling sounds nice." I answered before smiling back at her.

"Yay." She exclaimed as the waitress came up to us. Once I paid for our food we headed to the bowling alley.

"Let's make a bet." She suggested as we placed on our bowling shoes i shrugged and nodded my head ok.

''If I win you have to pay for me to get a new sewin.'' She smiled.

''Bet and if you lose?" I raised my eyebrow with a smirk.

"I'll do whatever you want while your here." She shrugged flipping her hair over her shoulder.

"Imma love winning this." I rubbed my hands together.

"Your not though." She wagged her finger at me.

"Shid I'll be damned if I lose but when I win I want for you to walk up to stranger and give them a lap dance." I began doing the grinding the air while she glared at me.

"Your such a ass-" She was cut off by an elder white lady.

"Excuse me." I looked towards her and seen her smiling at us.
