Jahlil POV :
It was Sunday morning and I didn't have a single thing to do. I picked up my phone went through my contacts and found BigBootyMari in the list.
"What're you getting into today?" I sent that message out and then walked up front. I found an iPhone 6S Plus Box sitting on the table along with a set of car keys and a note that said "Thank you for being the best you can be JahJah, this is your new phone and new car, enjoy it."
I picked up the keys and walked outside. I found myself waking up to a 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee. I hopped up and down almost tumbling down the stairs. "Holy shit I have a Jeep, Hoollllllyyyyy shiiittttt I have a fucking Jeep." I did a happy dance as I unlocked the car door. It was white with black liqorice guts, I pulled my phone out of the case and activated it. Instantly all my messages came through.
BigBootyMari: Nothing why?
I replied "I don't have anything to do, you wanna hang out or something."
I locked my doors and went back in the house. Desmond was sitting up in the bed rubbing his eyes, "Shit man you some me up what's the big deal?"
"Mom bought me a Jeep and the iPhone 6S Plus."
"Really? You lucky bastard."
"I know man but hey now you have my old car."
"True dat, what're you about to do?"
"Pick up Mari and chill with her."
"Cool, I'll be here when you get back."
I went and found my red white and blue "Young&Reckless" shirt with my true blue "Jordan 3's" and my black cut off "501 Levi" jeans. I ironed them went and grabbed a shower and brushed my teeth and all the rest of that good stuff then proceeded out the door.
I hit the locks on my car and hopped in and connected the Bluetooth and played Hotline Bling by Drake. I rolled the windows down and turned the music all the way up.
"You used to call me on my cell phone... late nights when you neeeed my love."
"Call me on my cell phone, late mights when you neeeeed my love, "
"And I know when my hotline bling... that can only mean one thing."I was at a stop light when I looked at my phone and saw the text back from Mari.
"Yeah, just come pick me up you know where I stay."
By the time I pulled up to her place "The Hills" by The Weekend was playing. She hopped in and turned my music down. I gave her a crazy look she laughed and asked,
"When'd you get this?"
"Today, mom had it waiting for me."
"That's so sweet mommy bought her baby a car."
"Fuck you." I said laughing.
"Where we going?"
"Anywhere you wanna go."
"Take me to starbucks in the mall."
"Okay."
When we pulled up to the mall I saw my sisters Lay and Katelyn.
"Katie!" I yelled out.
She hates when I call her that.
She turned around and said "I knew it was yo stupid ass, wassup brother."
