"Your birthday is coming up. You excited?" She nods while she pulled the sub bread out of the toaster oven. He watches carefully as she moved around the kitchen making snacks for the two. She wore a long dress, down to her ankles that had Angel aka the purple experiment from Lilo and Stitch. He bought for her because it made him think of her.

"Yes! I don't know if I want dinner with the family or a two day weekend in Orlando-"

"Both. You can do both." She shakes her head as he wrapped his long arms around her. His chin rested firmly on her head while his nose sneakily smelled the coconut shampoo she had used. Although she liked Benjamin, she loved her some Mari. She loved her sweet boy. "Uhh, I don't know boo. We'll figure it out." He nods before leaning his head down in her neck noticing she had a mole there, on her right side. "We'll figure it out."

"Oh my goodness, I hope they're okay." He turns from his book seeing her watch the news intently. He looks seeing four people were missing. A store owner dead and a girl from their school was missing. "Isn't that yo' co-captain?" She nods while they both looked at the television in shock. "I hope this is a coincidence because I'm scared to leave the house now." She nods while rubbing her back slowly. "Me too."

"We ask that you please pray over these innocent lives and that they return home safely."

"Hi." The young man sighs seeing the young woman walk up to his car with her crutches. Usually he would be a gentleman and open the door for any woman but she tested his patience. Struggling to open the door, he groans in annoyance before getting out and opening the door for her.

"So I guess, we had to meet up here so your "little" girlfriend don't have a problem?" His face immediately screwed up seeing her put quotation marks with her crunchy fingers after the word little. She was little, his lil' baby. His little sweetie. His lil' pretty baby. "No, me and you never did anything for you to act the way that you do-"

"But you kissed me Mari! She doesn't deserve you!" His eyes widened seeing her claw at her face in the midst of a fit.

She's crazy, yo'!

"Actually it's me who don't deserve her! Now, you took it too fucking far when you did what you did. She has asthma! She could've passed out! You crazy as hell." He looks seeing her bang her head on the window. Grabbing her arms, he pulls her up allowing him to look in her eyes. Shivering in fear, he looks seeing her attempt to get out of his hold. 

"Listen! You didn't even notice me for four whole years! So why now? I don't want you! And that kiss was only to shut you the fuck up. I don't have feelings for you! I'm in love with her not you! Leave us alone!" She looked down in her lap as he shook his head. She gasped as she dropped tears onto her cast. She couldn't believe he just said that. Leaning her head back on the headrest, he roughly lets her go while he tried to control himself. She was pissing him off.

"Fine Omari! Fine! I'm sorry-"

"Hold on." He takes a glance at his phone in the cup holder hearing the cute ringtone she picked out for herself. It was the song, All Mine by Brent Faiyaz. Looking at the phone, she quickly reaches to grab it causing him to grab her neck. Grabbing the phone, he put it to his ear while she struggled to breathe. "Yes baby."

"...."

"Yeah, I'm at the park, just taking a break real quick. A lot on my mind." He looks seeing her claw at his hands as her eyes roll back.

"....."

"I love you too mamas. I'll bring you some food, aight?" He squeezed harder in pure contentment and joy not hearing a word. It put a smile on his face.
