"Yeah, hol on baybeh" I put my phone on speaker going over to my closet. My grandma been on my ass since I got back so I've been getting ready for this lil dinner. Ion feel like going but it's free food so who am I to say no?

"Lexus am I on speaker?" her soft voice comes through the phone making me smile. Vanessa's been my girl for a hot minute even though she's four years older than me. I met her back in NOLA when I was fifteen, she was nineteen. I got myself into some trouble then I ended up homeless but shawty was there for me. At first it was just pure sex so I could stay in her apartment then eventually we both caught feelings and now we basically together. No titles, no love, we just kickin it.

"Yeah I'm gettin' dressed. I told you 'bout that lil dinner thing tonight remember? A nigga gotta dress classy" I laugh pullin out a white button down and some jeans.

"Oh your date...have fun"

"Vanessa" I sigh. "Don't do that. You know good and well..." I trail off not wanting to hurt her feelings. Most of the time ion even think she realizes how immature she acts and it's been worse ever since I moved here. I get the long distance relationship thing ain't ideal for either of us but being snippy and snappy ain't gonna help.

"Oooh baby's mad" she giggles. I shake my head smiling. This girl here is too much. "I miss your lil mad ass"

"Oh yeah?" I grin buttoning my shirt up all the way. "Whatchu miss 'bout me baybeh?" I lick my lips looking in the mirror then I turn my snapback backwards on my head. I look a lil godly or whatever.

"You still have me on speaker?" I smirk quickly taking my phone off speaker. "Nah go 'head"

"Welllll" her voice gets softer. "Wellllll what?" I mimic laying back on my bed. I swear I could listen to this girl's voice all day. I would go as far to say I love her but when I really think about it I know I don't. I got love for her but I ain't in love with her and ion think that's ever gonna change. At the end of the day I know she ain't nobody I wanna fully give my heart to and she probably feels the same way but I bet you we ain't gonna leave each other alone. The sex is dumb crazy when I'm with her and when I'm not we have some dope conversations. She's the type of girl you keep around until you settle down for good then you continue to be friends after because the friendship is too strong to just let go unless somehow I end up settling down with her. We have been messing around for about four years.

"Idunno. I don't wanna say, it's Sunday and I just got back from a function at church... Lord I'm going to hell" she laughs. "Anyways you never finished telling me why you ignored me for what? Three hours straight?"

"Oh yeah I was kickin it with some girl from church. My bad Nessa" I take my phone away from my ear to text the girl for the address since I'm sure Vanessa is going off on my ass. I probably should've worded it differently but it is what it is.
