AALIYAH
"Yes so you can come now."
"......"
"Alright bye." I had just got off the phone with my mom. I told her about prom and she wanted to help me and take pictures. She said she was bringing my dad so we can talk.

I had walked into the house because I had just came from Prom USA to pick my dress. I left it in the car so that Kendrick couldn't see it yet.

"Hey baby." I said walking into the kitchen and placing my purse and things down.

"Hey. So are you ready for tonight?" He asked me while he snakes his arms around my waist.

"Yeah just kind of nervous." I said placing my head on his chest.

"Just know that I'll be right bye your side as you look fin- no , beautiful as fuck in your dress." I couldn't help but blush.
I have been back to school and brought my grades up even more. I have over a 85 in every class and I have a job at a library. I know it sucks but no one goes there and I still get paid 💰✌🏾️.

I had heard that Brandon is still looking for me. So when I go places I have to lay low.
"What else do you need to do today?" Kendrick asked me as he sat across the table from me with some of the smoothie I made yesterday.

"I need my nails, hair and makeup done." I said resting my head in my arms. "I also have to go pick up my heels." I said as I ran my hands over my face. Good thing I didn't have on makeup.

"I'll go with you so that nigga don't find you." He said while getting up and going to the sink.

"Okay. And my parents are coming over to see me before prom." I said trailing off up the stairs.

I went to my closet and pulled out a necklace that would look nice with my dress but I put it back as soon as Kendrick walked in the closet.

"Do you have your suit?" I asked him as I put my jewelry box away.

"I'll pick that up when I'm out with you. What color should it be?" He asked as looked threw shoe boxes.

"White and gold."

"Okay." He took out some nice white dress shoes and put gold laces threw them. I stood there watching him.

"Yes?" He asked me as he placed them in a box and carried them to the room.

"I just can't wait."

"Me neither. I'm going to prom again." He said clapping like a white girl (not being racist.)

"What do think your cousins wearing?"

"Nothing that shows to much skin. Same for you."

"Do you think she even had a date?"

"Yes. Because her ass wouldn't shut up about it." He said with a chuckle.

"I never heard her say anything about prom to me."

"Maybe it was a surprise." He said covering his mouth like he was surprised.

"Shut up." I threw a pillow at him. He turned around with a pillow in his hand and tried to grab me but I ran, I had on socks and was sliding against the hardwood floor.

"Come here." He yelled chasing after me. We ran around the whole damn house. I ran outside and this car pulled up. The doors open and it was my mom and dad. I looked at Kendrick's watch and it was already 3:45.

"Hey sweetie." My mom said holding me in a tight hug. I hugged her back.

"Aaliyah." My dad said mugging Kendrick. I stepped in front of Kendrick's 6'2 self like it did something.
