If I was Your best friend......

Chapter 8

Quincy and I have been texting back and forth for a few weeks since that night on the beach. I'm starting to loosen up with him but I'm not letting my guard down. I like where his head at I mean he's a drug dealer but I accepted Que so he's no different. I just mind my business on that part, I don't think he's one of those dope boys tho this man is smart his money is invested. He owns a barbershop and a bar plus a few investments in stocks so I can tell he got his mind in the right place. So far I like him. I'm taking La out to lunch after class and too catch up a little bit. I threw on my PINK sweat suit with my puma slides and headed out the door. I picked La up we decided on Zaxby's I love their salads. After we ordered our food we sat in a booth surrounded with all types of knick knacks, pictures, and other neat stuff. I got a cob salad and La got the wings and things that's real good too okay enough of me being a fat ass. What's been up my juicy poo she said? Besides work, school, and granny remember dude from the club? Yea! don't tell me he got you crushing. Nooo I folded my arms and poked my lip out I don't crush but I can't lie homeboy fine. Well girl you know I'm missing my guy one more month until he comes home. Lala boyfriend is in the air force he's been active for 3 years now. He goes on assignmets for weeks sometimes months it depends, this time it was two months. Honey I don't know how you do it , you have so much will power cause I need mine physically 24/7. I salute you girl. Yes Lo it's hard sometimes because I get lonely and I want some affection but I know it's paying off in the long run. Fine guys be everywhere tho bruh we're in freaking Miami but I'm faithful nothing wrong with looking tho. We talked some more ate then left. I dropped her off and headed to check on granny. When I pulled up I seen Wayne car parked into the drive way. He got some nerve to be here but I haven't heard from him since the day we talked on the beach. I walked in the house granny greeted me with a big hug as always. Hey my big baby you hungry. No thanks grandma I just ate. What did you eat so good that you can't get some of your grandma good cooking? A salad from Zaxby's....she cut me off right there Oh hush up chile A salad! You need some thats gonna stick to you Imma fix you a plate anyways besides Dwayne in the kitchen and if we don't get there soon there won't be any food left at all, you know that boy can eat. Okay fine I'll make me a plate but its too go I'm really not hungry yet but I promise you I will eat it. We proceeded into the kitchen I glanced wayne direction he was chowing down. What did you cook any way? Some baked pork chops, red beans and rice with sausages, cabbage and corn bread. In my mind I'm like damn it grandma if I wasn't hungry I damn sure am now. Wayne was sitting at the table eating like a goat I glanced at him gave him a dry Hi and kept it moving. Grandma what made you cook like this again. Well dwayne came to visit me and he mentioned something about he was hungry and it went from there now you know I got to feed my adopted grandchild. His big rusty butt don't need nothing to eat. Speak for your self Lo and stick to your salads grandma food is hitting. Oh baby that's that ole southern Mississippi cooking now I already have my food in the next room. You know the news come on in a few don't bother grandma unless it's life or death. A hot mess she slipped out the kitchen and I was left with a set of eyes on me. So do you mind telling me why I haven't heard from my best friend but yet you at my grandmother's house eating up all her food? I been busy with working, working on a few beats, and Shantel. Plus it works both ways why you couldn't hit me up? I did once but I'm not buggin it's cool. He finished the last of his food cleaned up then his phone rung. I could only hear his part of the convo. (Him: Yea baby....but I just gave you $200....tf I look like a bank...ugh okay fine I'll be there in a few but this the last time this week..) he hung up and looked at me look Lo I gotta run but I'll shoot you a text later and we can hang out. I bit my tongue on this one and just agreed after that he left. I needed to do some laundry so I checked on granny ,fixed my plate, helped her with a few of her chores then went home. I cleaned, did a little home work, then my laundry. I shot Quincy a text I have heard from Him in a couple days. I looked at the clock it was 8:30 I showered, turned netflix on and drifted off to sleep.
