DtMF - BAD BUNNY
"LAMINE, THATS
really, really, sweet. and your the
most handsome guy i've ever met. but i need time
to think about this. it's a lot to think
about so it's probably gonna take me a while. but you're one of the most amazing people
i have met in my entire, lifetime."
juju said gently as she picked up her stuff and slowly went to the empty parking lot in the beach with a street light a couple feet away from her.
she was staring at her shoes as they tapped gently to the song, and softly hummed along as well—something her mother used to do.
she then heard her phone ding,
she was shocked at the message and ran to lamine.
"take me to the police department!"
AT THE POLICE DEPARTMENT
when they arrived to the police department, juju was sprinting. faster than she should, making lamine think 'how and why is she faster than me?' (but just a fun lil fact juju quit volleyball and started track. now that's gonna be important later. very important.)
juju was already inside and she was yelling all over the place.
"ma'am im gonna ask you to calm down." "calm down. ARE YOU GOING ABSOLUTELY BALLISTIC?!"
"okay if you calm down i can really help you."
juju took a deep breath—lamine put his hand down she gently held it because she was obviously nervous. she looked like she was in distress. "thank you ma'am. why are you here?" "you guys texted me and said you had my mom. Valentina Marie Reyes. used to be Valentina Marie Williams."
"please wait here." said the cop gently as she went to the back.
lamine had his eyes wide open because of the whole situation. was juju getting her mom back today after almost a decade? were juju and lamine dating? what sport does juju play? her moms name is reyes? why is juju staring at him?!
lamine looked at his and her hand as she squeezed it gently. she then got closer and put her head on his shoulder—lamine not moving a bit. "im really nervous mimi." said juju softly—she only said 'mimi' when she was worried. it was a childhood nickname. "everything is gonna be okay. more than okay." "lamine you sleep over my house ?" lamine chuckled a bit she sounds like she was 8 once again. "yeah. i will." "thank you."
"JUJU MARIE WILLIAMS?"
yelled the cop.
"that's me" juju said. "please follow me." juju and lamine got up from their seats and went behind the cop. juju still held onto his hand and felt his promise ring against hers. lamine looked at juju—juju, having a worried face. the police knocked on a door. "please come in." it was a muffled voice but we still could hear it.
"MOMMY!"
juju and her mother, hugged each other what felt forever. juju was like a mini her mom. they might have been separated but they still acted the same. juju also looked like her mother so it worked out. nico for some reason want there until we heard quick footsteps. her mother had tears of joy, juju did as well. nico came in the room and hugged his mother his face not leaving her shoulder.
"i am so, so, so sorry for abandoning you kids-" "mommy it's not your fault." "ma let's get you home." "no let's go out to eat" "no she should get rest." "nuh uh-"
"first day back and you guys are already arguing. we're going home im tired. but im not tired enough to not make food. so im making food." juju and nico smiled at each other as lamine waited outside the room. "there's so much i need to talk about with you mommy." said juju as they left the room.
on their way out valentina (juju and nicos mom) noticed lamine. "l-lamine? lamine yamal? lamine! you're alive?! and still with the kids most of all! how's your mother?"
lamine smiled at her and replied, "she's doing great, i actually have a baby brother now." "that's amazing! invite her for dinner. she'll help me cook."
nico then went to walk with lamine. "juju told me about today.. not bad performance." nico said with a small laugh making lamine laugh softly. "i did terrible." "yeah you kinda did." they both laughed. "but im sure she'll say yes." "really?" "yes, really"
