"Hoe is you coo!?" Maliki yelled at Mili as she just stole another one of his fried shrimp.

"Hoe is you dump!? Who you talkin' to?" Mili said with a mean mug on her face as she smacked on the shrimp.

"You a big ole big back bitch. You would think with all dat food you eat you would gain some size but yo guava stick built ass ain't gainin' shit. No ass havin' ass hoe." Everyone laughed at what Maliki said, and Mili gave him a stank face.

"Shut yo ass up you flavored north korean stowaway. Ole ni hao kai lan lookin' ass raccoon." Marcus fell on the floor laughing after that. The entire group beside Levania were in a laughing fit as the two went back and forth with each other.

"Says the bitch dat got the sweaty tomato seed titties like one. How you flat chested but still using boop tape bitch?" Maliki said and the group of friends were now screaming. Levania raised a brow, stifling his laughter at what the male just said. Maliki's responses are nothing short of diabolical.

"Well shit. Girl you need to leave dat man alone fo' he eats that ass up again." Tineshe said as Mili sat down. Putting her glasses on her face and covering her chest with a pout on her face.

"Sooo Levvy," Harlem started, plopping himself down on the couch next to Levania, who looked at the male with a small smile.

"Wassup?" Levania responded, giving Harlem his full attention as it was the respectful thing to do.

"So there's this carnival in town and the gang was thinking about doing this group date with all the couples of the group and I wanted to ask if you would be my date. I'll pay for everything, you just gotta look cute fa me. No problem there." Harlem spoke, pulling out the two tickets from his back
Levania's stomach fluttered from the nerves of the situation.

"Harlem, you're a really nice guy and I'm flattered but I'm with someone and I don't think he'd appreciate me going out on a date with another guy. If you had asked me before then I would definitely say yes, I'm sorry." Levania spoke, his tone sincere, and Harlem's shoulders slumped and his smile faltered.

He felt slightly embarrassed at the rejection but he respected Levania's response.

"Alright, umm well can we at least still be friends? I respect your answer so I won't make it awkward or anything." He spoke and Levania smiled with a nod before giving him a dap as the male stretched out his hand.

"Nice nails, by the way. They look cute on you." Harlem spoke, admiring the french tip acrylics. Levania smiled, the memory of him and Kash getting them done replaying in his mind.

"Thank you." He responded, and Harlem walked over to Michael, snatching the male's hat before sitting down next to him.

'Where's my man at?' He thought, a pout on his face as he watched the other couples in the room be all lovey dovey. Ki and Dre announced their relationship to the group a week ago. Michael has a lil boyfriend he goes to see almost every day. Marcus and Tineshe are dating, and Mili's dating a basketball player from the college they went to. That left Harlem and Hezekiah being the only single ones in the group.

The sound of the front door opening caught his attention, and he heard heavy footsteps heading upstairs. He rolled his eyes as he thought that it was Hezekiah and exited the room with a pout on his face.

He went up to his room, and his heart almost flew out of his chest when he saw Kash's shirtless back. The way his tattoos covered his back made Levania's stomach flutter.
