There is no easy walk to freedom anywhere, and many of us will have to pass through the valley of the shadow of death again and again before we reach the mountaintop of our desires.

"Shut the hell up!" I yelled from the living room.
"You mean." He walked in with two chicken sandwiches.
"You're random as helllll!" I started laughing.
"Why are you laughing?" He handed me a sandwich and sat down on the couch next to me.
"Where did you get this sandwich?" I asked.
He shrugged his shoulders. "Dunno. Just popped up."
"I'm sure it did." I bit into it and quickly spat it out into a tissue.
"Huh- ew!!!" He starred at me in disgust.
"Why!?!?"
"It has mayonnaise!!!!!"
"So!?!?"
"I HATE MAYO!!!!" I ran to the kitchen and trashed it.
"I didn't know that!!!! Sorry!" He followed behind me. "I didn't know you don't swallow!"
I laughed and hit his arm. "Shut up!"
"My bad for real though." He patted my back. "I'll make it up to you with IHOP."
"Ooooo!??!"
"OOO! Put on some clothes and let's boun-"
"Clothes..." We said in unison.
"Yeah...you have any clothes?" I asked while scratching my head.
"A hoodie and the jeans you wore last night."
"Alright. Thanks!"

We were in Jacques' car and he told me that his stage name would be Travis Scott.
"Travis, Travis, Travis." I sang.
"What!?" He asked clearly annoyed with my shenanigans.
"Trav in the cut!"
"Aye! Aye!" He danced
"And he smell butt!"
"Ayeeee- AYE!" He sucked his teeth. "Bruh. Ain't even cool."
I laughed at his disappointment.
"Shut the hell up and get out. We here."
I got out the car and we went inside the ihop.

We ordered our food and we waited while sipping on our drinks. I had sweet tea and he had water.

"You dare me to say something funny out loud?" He asked.
"Jack no-"
"MY DICK FELL OFF!" He yelled.
I face palmed and let out a loud laugh. An old woman and her husband across from us were giving us a cold stare.
"That lady is looking at you." I whispered and laughed.
"I don't give a damn. Her ass bout to be in the grave anyway."
"Oh you mean." I chuckled. "And you a damn fool!"
He smiled. "I'll act a fool just to see your smile and hear your laughter."
I looked down at the ground. He knows how insecure I am and tries to get me out of my shell and let me know how beautiful I am. He reached out and touched my hand.
"And to see your beautiful face."
I looked up at him with a confused look. He looked deep into my eyes.
