Vonte POV
It's been ah month since Erin's party. I been talking to this girl Marsha that I met that night and she cool. She isn't as sexy as my bestfriend but she still bad. I set up this double date with Dre and Erin, we gonna meet them at the restaurant so I head to pick up Marsha. I knocked on the door and some girl answered. I saw all these kids running around playing.
"Damn, who you?" The girl said.
"I'm here for Marsha." Her smiled turned into ah mean mug, I chuckled ah little. She left and Marsha came to the door dressed and ready to go.
"You look good." She said.
"Thank you, you too." We got in and I started cracking jokes, making her laugh. We got to the restaurant and she got out, excited.
"OMG! Red lobster, I never been here before!" I didn't wanna laugh cuz she looked kinda serious. We walked in and found Erin and Dre.
"Wassup y'all?" I say. They speak back. "This is Marsha, Marsha this is --" she cut me off.
"Dre, I know." She smiled at him like she forgot she was on ah date with me. "Nice to meet you."
"Actually I was talking 'bout Erin."
"Oh hey." She said to her dryly. "Dre is that your Range Rover outside? It looks sexy as hell just like the person driving it." I was sipping my drink but coughed at what she said.
"Thank you." Erin said, Marsha looked confused. "I drove it, thank you. I think I look sexy too." Dre laughed but I'm still on Marsha. We placed our orders and our food came about 15 minutes later. We ate and Marsha was eating like she never ate before. It was embarrassing. We paid, left ah tip then walked out. She was all on Dre.
"I think you need to back up." He said.
"Why?"
"You close as hell."
"What's wrong with that?" I'm surprised Erin hasn't been saying anything, I spoke too soon tho.
"Ain't shit wrong with it if you want your ass whooped." Dre put his arms around Erin.
"Bitch who you supposed to be? I'll take your nigga like it ain't shit."
"If you can take him from me, I'll salute you cuz it's one hell ah job you did but that's something I'm not worried about."
"Don't get cocky cuz you pushing his range, that ain't yours. You don't even have ah job."
"I'm not ah dumbass who flunked 10th grade twice! You were supposed to graduate two years ago. But you right, I don't have ah job and you do. How much does it pay for giving brain and letting anybody hit?" She got quiet.
"You ah hoe?" I ask her.
"Yeah she is, I hope you ain't smashed yet. Your hoodrat ass got excited about Red Lobster, I heard you from inside. But here you go." Erin put ah 10 dollar bill in her hand. "Vonte stop her by ah pharmacy so she can get some cream for that itch."
"I'm finna whoop your ass!" Marsha said, Erin took her heels off and went Marsha's way but Dre picked her up and carried her off to the truck.
"Oh you can get those red bottoms too. You never saw those in person have you? Ah gift from me to you bitch!" With that Dre closed the door and drove off.
Marsha actually did pick up the shoes admiring them. This hoe is pitiful. She walked towards my car.
"Wait, what you think you doing?"
"Getting in so you can take me home, or to your house." She smiled.
"You must be crazy." I got in my car and pulled off leaving her there, I gotta quit fucking with these hoodrats.
Erin POV
Dre dropped me off at home. I changed clothes and cleaned up my room. I have ah craving for cheesecake so I got some outta the fridge and watched ah movie with my daddy. We planned ah vacation to Jamaica cuz mom's birthday is coming up. After ah while I fell asleep.

I woke up. Soon as my feet touched the floor I felt something come over me, I ran to the bathroom and got there just in time. I started throwing up. What's wrong with me? When I finished I brushed my teeth, showered and put clothes on. I drove to Vonte's house, he was just pulling in.
"Hey."
"Wassup?" He hugged me. "You shamed that girl out yesterday."
"She was outta line."
"True. I was trying not to laugh when you gave her that 10 dollar bill for that cream, that was funny as hell." He chuckled.
"It wasn't like I was lying, I saw he nasty ass scratching in the restaurant! What was you doing with her?"
"Man she had ah body and I thought she was cool." I just shake my head and we walk inside.
"You putting on weight, about time. The only weight you ever had was boobies, ass and thighs."
"I'm not putting on weight!"
"Yes you are, go look." I ran to the bathroom and looked in the mirror, I had ah little pudge. It wasn't the kind where you're getting fat tho it was the kind when. . Oh shit, can it be true? Hell naw, I'm tripping. I walked back in the living room and saw Dre had just walked in.
"I didn't know you were here, wassup baby?"
"Nothing, mad cuz she putting on weight." Vonte said and laughed. I just sat down without saying anything. Dre looked at me but I avoided his eyes. It's like we can read each others minds sometimes.
"Look at me Erin." He said. Vonte was sitting there lost. I looked at him and his jaw dropped but he closed his mouth quickly. I got up and went to my car and pulled off. As soon as I got in my room I cried myself to sleep.
