As soon as those words left my mouth I ran off to my make up room. I hate fighting with Kendrick, there’s no point in it. We get no where. I’m tired of going nowhere in life. I’m ready to proceed with things...rather Kendrick is a part of it or not. I make that vove to myself right now at this moment of time. I deserve better than this. This life, this treatment, I’m too young to be feeling this old. Looking at myself through the many mirrors in this one room I seen a lot of change. I feel like change is coming real soon.
A soft knock broke out my ocean of thoughts. Not wanting to be a kid-although I am, I decided to take the higher route in life and face the problem head on.
“Come in.” I muttered wiping the tears from my face. The door opened and in walked Ken.
“Can we talk?” He asked
“Yeah I’m ready to talk.” I nodded my head
“You know I didn’t mean anything I said...well I did I just didn’t mean to yell at you.” He said
I believed him...he’s never raised his voice at me.
“I know you didn’t just don’t let it happen again because if it do I’ma punch you in the throat.” I joked to lighten the mood
“Of course baby tupac.” He smiled showcasing his white teeth
I returned the smile, but it felt different. It felt like something more real...now maybe it’s just me I mean it could be from all the tears and what not.
“Now can you get up and get dressed for me baby girl?” He asked. Remembering that we were suppose to have dinner tonight I nodded quickly standing to my feet which wasn’t a good idea. Feeling dizzy I stumbled a little but of course Kendrick caught me.
“You alright?” He asked
“Yeah.” I mumbled
I haven’t eaten all day so that’s probably why I’m feeling light headed. He looked at me sideways before leaving me to getting dressed.

Checking my gold watch I sighed “Kali can you come on girl.”
She been getting ready for an hour and our reservations is at 8.
“I’m coming sheesh kenny.” She giggled as she came down the steps. She looked good-too good for someone that I’m suppose to look at as my little sister.
“How I look?” She took a spen
My eyes traveled all over her body. For Kali to be 18 she got a better body than most women my age.
Clearing my throat my eyes traveled back up to her brown eyes “You look good, you ready?” I asked
She looked at me sideways but smiled and nodded her head. “Yes.”
“Let’s go my lady.” I took her hand leading her towards the door.
“Wait, I gotta lock up.” She said pulling away
“No Nip and them gone house sit.” I muttered
After what we did today I don’t trust no one, so with that being said I need to keep Kali safe until everything is straighten out.
“Oh okay.” She said no more and let me take her out
After getting her in my car I gave Nip the key to the house and we were on our way.
“Where we off too?” She asked after we were on the road for about 15 minutes
“You’ll see when we get there.” I laughed at her as she moved around in her seat. Girl can’t stay still for nothing.

“K get up.” Kendrick shook me
I can’t believe I fell asleep. Taking his held out hand he helped me out the car to the summer night’s breezy. The sun was just setting and it was a mixture of breezy and hot...perfect blend. I smiled at his rather short frame-although he is taller than me and smiled at him. We were no longer in Compton. “Where are we?” I asked
“Far from home. Thought you needed time away from everything.” He said taking my hand again as he walked us to the door. This is sweet of him to do.
“So we’re staying?” I asked
“Yeah we’re gonna grab a hotel.” He said as we were getting seated. I can see he took some time planning this.
As soon as we sat the waiters wasted no time bringing some bubbly to us. Pouring two glasses Kendrick held up his letting me know to do the same.
“Toast to...change.” He said before clinking our glasses together.
Change?
Feeling like the room was spinning I downed the light brown liquid in my tall glass.
Kendrick laughed at me “Seriously I’ve been meaning to tell you something.”
Stuff like this makes me nervous. “Uh-oh when ever you say that it’s never good.” I brought a hand up to my forehead.
“It’s cool baby I promise.” He grinned
*Kendrick
By the look on her face I could tell she was past nervous.
“Looking back at what you said to me-well yelled at me, I noted that you do take care of me...great care of me and any woman that’s taking care of any man should be worth enough to make their girl…” I started but stopped to bring my drink to my lips.
She just stared at me wide eyed.
“A lot of things will be changing and it’s starting with this damn friendship...I’m tired of being just friends aren’t you?” I asked her
She nodded her head up and down “I need to hear words baby.” I smirked
“Y-yes, but-” I cut her off
“Then let’s move past it then. Can we do that?” I asked and once agains she nodded her head
“Words Kali.” I laughed
“Yes Kendrick...but what do you suppose we do about it?” She asked
“I’m asking you right here, right now Kaliah the woman besides my mama that takes care of me to be my girl?” I asked and for the first time in a few days I seen a real smil.
“Of course!” She giggled
“That’s all I needed to know” I said going over to her and pressing my lips to hers.
Ever wondered what your best friends lips tasted like?
