Always My Thug

fourteen.

Noami's POV

The phone call with Diamond really got me to thinking about modeling. I don't know if I should, but I've been wanting to do it since I was little. But it was a DAMN dream. I didn't think it'll come true. Especially, now!

"So, what do you feel about me modeling?" I asked Tray while we were on the phone.

"What you mean?" he questioned.

"Me, Noami Nicole Parker, modeling." I stated.

"How I feel? Um, I don't know. I mean especially now, with everything going on with these fools here."

"But that has nothing to do with my career." I argued.

"Noami, you asked me and I told you."

"Well, I barely have a job and not in school. I have to do something." I admitted.

"No, you wanna do something. I told you, you ain't have to do anything."

"And I told you, I do. I'm not suppose to depend on you, I wanna do my own thing. You're not even my man."

"Well, you're beautiful. So if you wanna model, then model." he stated.

"Awe, thank you." I said blushing.

"Yeah, whatever."

"Why modeling?" he asked.

"Um, Diamond asked me if I wanted to. She said it wasn't for her, but she thought of me. She says that I'm the modeling type, I'm beautiful." I said looking in the mirror, smiling.

"I guess. But you are, so take the damb job. Just don't have yo axs everywhere." he said.

"Axs? Who the hell you talking to Trayvon!" someone came in yelling.

I figured it was nobody axs but Abitha. Her wanna be me axs.

"I'll call you back later." I said before hanging up.

I got up off the couch and went into the kitchen to find me something to eat. Then I texted Diamond.

Me - I'll do it 🙌😊

favcousinD 😍 - making the call right now.

As I waited for her to say something else, a knock came onto the door. I went to it and it was Ken.

"Hey my Ken." I said opening the door.

"Hey my Barbie." he said coming in.

He's been coming everyday for lunch since, I've been on 'suspension'.

"Let me go and get dressed and we can leave out." I stated.

I ran upstairs and into my closet. I put on a light blue pair of jeans and a tan crop top. I did a light makeup and put on some diamond studs. Then put on my white sandals. I pushed my braids to the side and went downstairs.

"I am ready." I said.

"Good, okay."

We gathered in his car and went to get something to eat.

"First place we went out to eat." I said getting out of the car of Taking Tacos.

"Trust there will be many of times we come here." he said.

He wrapped his arms around my neck as we walked up to the stand.

"We would like a Double Stuff Ground Meat Taco." Ken said.
