*unedited* Cato in the MM.

Athena Kelly

A brand new iPhone 6S Plus.

He really had bought this for me. I wasnt sure how to feel about it. I wasnt a fan of taking expensive gifts from people, especially guys. Besides, when my mom saw me toteing around a phone that costs half of our rent, she was going to question the crap out of me.

I pulled it out of the box and turned it on. It was rose gold. I was excited to have it but I felt uneasy about it at the same time.

Once it was on, I seen that he must have already turned it on and charged it and everything before hand. There was already a text message notification. I unlocked it to see what it said.

Cato: Call me when you get this

I dialed his number and put the phone to my ear. I heard my mom and dad in their room next door laughing at something. They must have been watching tv.

"You like it?" I hadnt even realized Cato had answered the phone.

"Yeah...thank you. This is alot though. I dont think I can keep this" I chuckled.

"Lalalalalala, ion wanna hear that bullshit" he said. I rolled my eyes as if he could see me.

"Its not bullshit."

"It is."

"If you say so" I chuckled.

"Yo house quiet as fuck."

"That was unnecessary."

"What was?" he asked.

"The cursing."

He sucked his teeth. "You should try it. Get rid of some 'uh y

o frustrations."

"I'd rather not" I mumbled chipping the paint off of my nails. It went quiet on his end for a while.

"Talk. Why you never talk?" he questioned. I heard rustling as if he was searching for something.

"I told you. I never have anything to talk about. My life isn't very interesting."

"Who yo favorite music artist?" he asked me.

I thought about it. "Don't laugh at me when I tell you."

"I wont" he laughed.

"You're laughing already" I frowned.

"Alright, Alright, tell me."

"Young thug" I told him. He didnt say anything. "Are you silently judging me?"

"Nah. You said dont laugh. If I say somethin' 'bout it, i'ma crack the fuck up" he started cackling.

"Tsk, its not even funny."

"Its not. You just dont seem like the young thug type."

"How dont I?"
