Derrick's POV:
I rung her doorbell waiting for her to come downstairs. The door finally opened and she looked good as hell.
"Damn you look good" I said. 
"Thank you."
I saw her blush but I just acted like I didn't see it.
I'm not gonna lie at first I just wanted to fuck Princess but she seems too cool to just push to the side.
We walked to my car and I opened her door. She got in and I walked to my side and got in.
I turned on the radio and Fake Love by Drake came on as I blasted it while I started driving.

Princess POV:
We pulled up to Apple Bees. We got out, went in, and got seated. We ordered, and everything and I guess it was time to start a conversation.
"So tell me about yourself" I said giving him my full attention.
"Well I have three siblings. One sister two brothers, I'm the youngest. You know my age and my grade. My family lives in Virginia, I moved over here for reasons I'm not ready to discuss. I have two best friends, my favorite color is green. I love watching football and I currently am fond of a girl named Princess ." He said and I automatically felt my checks get hot.
"Now you tell me about yourself" he said leaning back licking his plump lips.

"I'm the only child, my best friend is Jay I've known him since I was young. I have other close friends too, but I'm not that friendly. My favorite colors are black and gold. I like watching basketball but don't have a favorite team. I lost my dad a couple of years ago, and I live with my mom. I also think I'm starting to like a boy named Derick." I said being nice as he smiled at me.
We continued our conversation until the food came.

The date was really good, I did think I was actually starting to like him. We just drove up to my house, and he stared at me.
"So was the date good ? He asked looking down nervous waiting for my response.
I chuckled and answered with a "yes it was."

"Does that mean there will be a second?" He said getting ahead of himself.
"Only time will tell."
We stared at each other and I could tell he was contemplating if he should kiss me. I honestly don't want him too. I mean I like him but I know I want Jay. 


He leaned down and his soft lips touched mine. I didn't wanna go further so I pulled away.
I smiled at him and said 'bye', and to text me when he gets home.
I went inside my house and went in my room. I changed into sweat pants and a shirt, and went in my moms room.
"Hey mom"
"Hey, where you coming from?" She asked looking up from her phone.
I had a date with this boy named Derrick."
"Mhmm" was all she said.
"Mhmm what?"
"Don't worry about it .What Jayceon have to say about that?" She asked side eyeing me.

"He doesn't own me mother, but I don't really know what he thinks"
"Trust me I know he doesn't own my daughter, but all I know is what's suppose to happen will happen soon enough" she said

I look at my mother confused but decide to ignore it "I don't know what that means but I'm going to bed, goodnight my blueberry muffin" I said walking out but I heard her say "child you crazy, but goodnight" while laughing.

NEXT DAY (SUNDAY)
I woke up, grabbing phone I seen it was two in the afternoon. I didn't have anything planned for today so I was just going to relax.
I remembered that I told Derrick to text me and I see he didn't, he was already slipping . I went on Instagram scrolling down looking at my feed, until I get a FaceTime call from Bestfriend 💦😘. I look a mess but whatever.
I answer and the screen says connecting .....

"What's good lil nigga?" He greets right away with his face close to the camera.
I playfully roll my eyes.
"I just woke up"
He looks at me and blinks slowly " What. You. Do . That . Made . You . So . Tired . Princess . I . Was. Not . Joking . When . I said . I will smoke that nigga Derrick," he says slowly, as I burst out laughing.

"Little boy ain't no one fuck anyone. I just slept this long because I was tired,"

"Yea okay, and ain't nothing on me little so don't call me no little ass boy. I became a man when I was thirteen." he says smiling like he was proud of being a hoe at such a young age.

"Yea whatever. How was the gym yesterday ?"
"Good, I met this fine ass girl name Tiana. She real cool we been texting since yesterday." He said going on paused.
When he said that I felt a huge lump form in my throat and I felt my eyes water . I quickly shook it off. Why am I so emotional when it comes to him? It's so annoying.

"That's cool" was all I could find myself saying.
"How was your date though?"

"It was nice, I think I'm really starting to like him."
We didn't say anything for about ten minutes. We had each other on paused. I was on my phone and he was doing something and laughing at it .


"Aye you wanna match tomorrow?" He asked breaking the silence.
I took him off paused to see him back too.
"Yea. I need some more pictures of us"I said getting hype as he just laughed at me.

"Just wear the sweatshirts we got from kreative coaching, ripped jeans, and timberlands." He told me and I shook my head.
"Bet, I'm gon' look good tomorrow it's going down," I said cheesing as he straight faced me.
"Nah. I'ma look better Princess."


"Oh please I'm Princess nigga who can look better than me." I stated playfully rolling my eyes.
"True."
He didn't say anything else as he stared at me for a few seconds.

 "You know your name is Princess but you helped me so much that I realized you're something else. Even though I trap and you don't like it  you're always right by my side. You make a nigga soft after he been in the streets all day going hard. Even when I fuck up you're still there, I know I can count on you, no one, or anyhing can make me turn away from you. You gonna be my best friend and ride or die always. You're not my Princess you're my mother fucking Queen. No one gonna change that."

I looked at him and smiled as I felt my heart flutter. I knew I felt the same way, and I tried to stop myself from tearing up.

"Jayceon you helped me more then I can ever help you . You saved my life multiple times. You protect me, and you always know how to make me feel better. You put me before everyone else and I will always do the same. No matter if I piss you off  I know if I need something you're the first person I need to call. Your name not Prince" I said as he chuckled "but you're my King and you will always be no matter what ." I finished as a tear ran down my face.
We looked at each other and smiled .
"Your soft ass crying" he said making me laugh and wipe my face. That's how the day went on. My King, and I just talking on FaceTime.
