LYRIC
"Good afternoon, I came here to make a payment."
"Alright, name please?" The lady with glasses looked up from her computer.
"Lyric Daniels." I rummaged through my purse for my card.
"Hmmm.." She mumbled
"Is something wrong?"
"No ma'am it just says here that everything has been paid off. You don't owe any money."
I stood there staring at the woman like she had 3 heads. I don't remember making any payments..
"My apologies. I forgot, have a good day."
I held my phone up to my ear, walking out the glass double doors and to my car.
"What's poppin baby" Khari answered.
"Did you come up here to my school?"
"Yup."
"Why?"
"To pay your shit off, duh." I heard moving in the background and then it got quiet.
"I told you that I didn't know about all that yet, I meant it."
"Well it's already done now ain't shit to think about."
I got in the driver's seat and started up the car. There wasn't even a point in arguing with him.
"..Thanks."
"Mhm. What you about to do?"
"I don't even know.. I-" I looked at the phone and a number I didn't recognize was calling me. I told Khari to hold on and I clicked over.
"Hello?" I spoke.
There was no response and everything was quiet.
"Helllloooo?"
It was quiet again before it suddenly made a click noise and the person had hung up. What the fuck?
"Yea.." I went back to the other line.
"Who was dat?"
"Wrong number I guess. Anyways, I guess I'll go chill with Taylor."
"Iight, Ima hit you up later."
"Ok babe."
------------------------------------
"Like I was saying though, we should go on a trip for your birthday."
"Go where though?"
"Miami? Oooor oh my god, California or something." She grabbed a few glasses from the cabinets.
"California sounds fun, maybe we should." I had never been to a place like California, maybe this would be a fun idea. My birthday was in about 2 months and I would be turning 20.
"Right. Plus you need some vacation time to relax."
"Speaking of relaxing, girl guess what?"
"Tell me, bitch."
"Okay so, Khari said the same shit about me relaxing and.. He paid all of my school stuff and asked me to quit my job."
"Are you for real? What you say?"
"At first I was like No.. Then maybe.. And now everything seems like it wouldn't be so bad."
"I'm suprised you even got to the maybe part, you're stubborn as hell."
"I know, that's what I'm saying." I took a sip of what Taylor had poured in the glass.
"Well, if you trust someone enough and they care enough to help you, you should let them."
I nodded my head in understanding. I was so grateful to have a boyfriend like Khari. I really felt like I had finally found a man that genuinely loved me besides my granddad.
"This is actually really good. What is it?" I eyed the light golden colored liquid.
"It's Moscato d'Asti"

KHARI
I was at home fixing a gourmet ass sandwich after finishing up my blunt when my phone started ringing. I looked at the number and saw that it was Taylor.
"What?"
"Nigga come get your girlfriend."
"What you do to my baby?"
"I ain't do shit. She drunk too much wine and now she's a little drunk. Or a lot."
I sucked my teeth and threw the lettuce back in the fridge. "Mane yall always getting into some shit. Iight I'm on the way."
>>>>>>>>>>>
As soon as I reached my hand out to ring the doorbell, the door swung open.
"I should kick yo ass."
"I'm sorry, I didn't think it would be this serious."
I gave her the stale face. "You know she don't drink." I stepped in and closed the door behind me.
As soon as I went into the kitchen, Lyric hopped off the counter screaming and hugging me.
"Baaaaaby, what are you doing here."
"Taylor called me cause yo lil ass acting up." I embraced her.
She didn't say anything she just stood there, squeezing the life out of my body with her face in my chest.
"Mmm, you always smell sooo good." She mumbled.
I shot Taylor and evil glare and she mouthed the word "sorry" before creeping into the living room.
"Come on so we can go."
"Go where?"
"Home." I picked her up and threw her over my shoulder.
".... Wyd" I heard a voice behind me.
I turned around facing Joshua staring at me with squinted eyes.
"Nigga get yo uglass out the way." I brushed past him.
"I'm tired of yo giraffe lookin ass always comin in here and disrespectin my household."
"Bruh you always talkin shit, I ain't got time for yo foolishness right na."
The whole time Lyric was talking to herself and giggling.
"You gon have to see me young nigga."
"Fasho. But I got my hands full as you can see."
"What the hell wrong with her?"
"Don't even ask."
"Come on daddy, so we can go home and you can put me to sleep." Lyric groaned.
Joshua's eyes widened and he backed away slowly. "I see ya, handle dat." He mischievously grinned.
I waved him off. "Bruh Imma see yall later lemme get her ass home."
"Remember kids, don't be silly wrap your willy."
I groaned and readjusted Lyric over my shoulder before leaving out.
