My Family Loves Her...But Do I? (A Prodigy Love Story)

Alone With Alex

Once they finished eating, just like Jojo's plan they walked pass the play area. As soon as Kaaliyah and Laylah saw it they lost their minds. "Ally! Ally! Ally! Can we go play over there?" they asked jumping in front of her.

"Yeah go ahead." Alexadrine said. "You two can keep walking while I watch them." Alexadrine said to Prodigy and Jojo.

"Nah I'll stay. You know this mall better than I do." Jojo said.

"Are you sure?" Alexadrine hesitated walking with Prodigy as Jojo nodded. Nervousness filled her body the more she thought about being alone with Prodigy. "Okay but call before you leave this area." She demanded.

"Yes ma'am." Jojo walked to play area to find his sisters. Alexadrine and Prodigy kept walking both nervous from each other's' company. Prodigy thinking of how to start a conversation remained quiet until Alexadrine broke their silence.

"Oh hey look there's your store." She pointed to Louis Vuitton. Prodigy laughed grabbing her hand pulling her into the store. "Whoa!" she yelped from being dragged by Prodigy to the back of the store where perfume and cologne were. Alexadrine looked at all the perfume on the wall.

"Want one?" Prodigy asked stepping up behind her. She shook her head. "You sure?" he paused and spotted one for couples. "How about this one?" he held it in front of her.

"But we're not a couple." Alexadrine said wishing they actually were.

'Not yet.' Prodigy thought to himself. "So other people won't know that." He shrugged.

"Um okay I guess." Alexadrine smiled. They walked to the register. Alexadrine stood thinking about how Prodigy from Mindless Behavior is buying her a couples' fragrance. Prodigy noticed and felt happy but then confused when it faded. Little did he know Alexadrine thought about the various threats she'd receive from #TM. After Prodigy bought the fragrance they continued their journey in the mall with silence between them. "So what's your favorite animal?" Alexadrine broke the silence once again.

"I'd have to say dogs and giraffes." Prodigy answered making Alexadrine giggle.

"Giraffes? Really?" she pondered.

"Yeah what's wrong with that?" he sipped his drink.

"Nothing but why giraffes?" she looked at him.

"Cause it's funny when they fight." He said squinting his eyes and changing his voice. "They hit each other with their necks." He said as Alexadrine laughed. "What's so funny?" he asked in his normal voice.

"You like giraffes because it's funny when they fight." She explained.

"Yeah but what's yours?" He asked as they stepped on the escalator.

"Nah you'd probably think I'm weird." Alexadrine shook her head.

"Oh so you can laugh at me but I can't have a chance of maybe thinking you're weird?" Prodigy laughed.

"Fine I like lions and dragons." She gave up.

"Why?" Prodigy asked as they walked off the escalator.

"I'm a Leo. And dragons are different like me." Alexadrine answered.

"Oh just like Roc." Prodigy commented. Alexadrine faked a smile and nodded. Prodigy didn't know that Alexadrine and Roc had been best friends all their life until she moved to Texas and he joined Mindless Behavior. At first he'd call or text often but then after a while he stopped and she never heard from him since.

"Yeah just like Roc." She gritted her teeth. "Wanna share a pretzel?" she asked when she spotted Auntie Anne's up ahead.

"Yeah sure." He smiled at her.

"Alex!" a guy yelled. Alexadrine immediately smiled.

"Hey Dalton. I didn't know you were working today." Prodigy watched as Alexadrine and Dalton leaned across the counter to hug each other.

"So what you come here for?" Dalton asked.

"Showing him around since his family just moved here." Alexadrine said referring to Prodigy.

"Oh that's nice. I'm guessing you want a pretzel." Dalton raised his eyebrow. Alexadrine smiled and nodded. "Do I have to pay for it?" he asked.

"No I got it." Prodigy looked at Alexadrine who looked back at him and smiled.

"Call you later." Dalton said as Prodigy and Alexadrine walked away. Alexadrine waved to him as she and Prodigy slowly disappeared.

"Wanna play twenty questions?" Prodigy asked.

"Why?" Alexadrine asked

"So we can get to know each other." Prodigy answered.

"Ok you first." Alexadrine smiled.

"Uhm what do you wanna major in for your career?" he asked.

Alexadrine thought for a while. "Well to become an anesthesiologist I have to study biology, chemistry, physics, and math. But mainly biology and math." Prodigy nodded and ripped a piece of the pretzel as Alexadrine spoke. "My turn to ask a question." She paused to think. "What do you want later in life?"

"A nice family, no more than two or three kids. Most importantly a beautiful wife." Prodigy spoke thinking of it. "What's your favorite color?"

"What do you think?" She asked in response. Prodigy looked at her and saw she was wearing red and black.

"I'm guessing red and black." Prodigy laughed as Alexadrine nodded.

"If you could choose your name what would it be?" Alexadrine looked around at the stores.

"Just one name?" Alexadrine nodded.

"Uhm Daniel." Prodigy replied. "Ok fifth question. Who is-" Prodigy started to ask but Alexadrine's phone rang. Quickly Alexadrine answered it.

"Hello? Oh hi Mamma C. At Town East. Uhm okay give me about twenty minutes to get them there. Okay see you then." She sighed as she hung up. "Your mom said she needs Jojo, Kaaliyah, and Laylah." Alexadrine explained to Prodigy as they headed towards the play area.

"Alex! Prodigy!" Kaaliyah and Laylah screamed when they saw them.

"Oh hey I was just about to call you." Jojo stood up and walked over to Alexadrine.

"Come on guys your mom needs you guys for something so I'm taking you home and I'm done for the day." Alexadrine pulled out her keys as they walked to her car.
