Soon as lil shorty opened the door my phone rang. This shit had better been important. Without looking to see who it was I answered , "Yo". The person on the other side of the phone didn't speak. Click! I didn't have time for no weak ass Person playing weak ass phone games. My attention was all on Kya. Lil shorty was cute and even cuter when she was hungry and got an attitude. I didn't like that lil remark she made before she let me in because In all reality I use to live in the apartment building across the alley from her, this wasn't shit. "You can sit where there is room." I could tell she wasn't use to having company and that was cool. She was in the kitchen looking in all the cabinets and I didn't say nothing. I was still nervous but I needed to play it cool because she didn't seem nervous at all. I watched her as she walked over to the fridge and bent down to look to see what was in it. She came back up empty handed. She turned my way with an upset look on her face. When she seen me looking she immediately looked away. I didn't understand her, but I was so intrigued by her. "If you wanna go get something to eat I can take you somewhere and bring you back here". I wanted to take her somewhere because it seemed like she wouldn't have any luck finding food in her kitchen. I'm not sure what type of niggas she was use to but I was sure it wasn't a nigga like me. I knew this for the simple fact of how she was acting around me, and how she looked at me. She agreed to let me take her to grab something to eat but she couldn't decide on where. It was basically lunch time by now so that's what we were going to go eat. Neither one of us were dressed to go anywhere fancy or out of the ordinary. And I damn sure didn't wanna take her to one of these lil hood spots. I wanted her to ride in my car for a minute, relax, and conversate. I'd make up my mind where I wanted to take her when we got in the car but right now I was just glad she accepted my offer. We rode down the ave in complete silence for about 5 minutes. "What you tryna eat Kya? You can have whatever, it's on me." She didn't respond. "Yo, where you tryna eat at lil shorty?" That shorty word got her attention. She turned her neck so hard I had to laugh. "I'm Just fuckin With You. I just wanted to know where you wanted to eat." All she did was stare at me. I wondered what she was thinking. I hope it was about where she wanted to go eat because if not I would just end up picking the place and I wouldn't care if she liked it or not. "Chipotle" I heard her say something but I couldn't hear shit because I had my music up and she was talking in that soft ass voice. I could see her starring at me out the corner of my eye so I took my eyes off the road for a second and nodded at her as if to say what. "I want Chipotle. It's one On 37th but we can go to whichever location you wanna go to" I was happy she made up her mind. If she wanted Chipotle on 37th then that's what she was gonna get. I'm glad she ain't pick nowhere that we would have to sit down or nothing because I didn't like being around too many people at once. You never knew who Called themselves being into it with you so you had to have Yo guard up all the time. Within ten minutes we'd arrived at Chipotle, lil shorty looked shocked that I took her to the exact one she wanted to go to. When we were walking in I told her get whatever she wanted and she said okay. It was time to pay and I see her dig in her pocket to grab her money. I instantly grabbed her hand as if to say stop. I asked the cashier how much our stuff was altogether and she said $21.73. I gave the cashier $40 and told Kya to grab the change and food I needed to piss. When I came back from the bathroom Kya was sitting in a seat in the middle of the restaurant waiting. Soon as I approached her she handed me the change. "Nah, you keep that." I grabbed our food and we bounced. We sat in my car in the parking lot eating. She was going crazy eating. It was cute, I liked a girl who wasn't embarrassed to eat in front of a man and Kya wasn't. "Slow down Kya, that food ain't Goin nowhere." She laughed, and I could see the dimple in her left cheek show. This girl was cute in a plain Jane kind of way and I was attracted to her. Bing! I picked my phone up to see who had texted me. It was my homie Von.

"Sticky situation. Need you ASAP."

Man niggas love hittin Yo line when You in the middle of some shit. But I knew it had to be important. Von was the only nigga on my team that I knew for sure was able to handle shit himself no matter what the situation was.

"Something just came up, we gotta slide".

I could see the disappointment in her face. I felt bad as fuck. I hadn't even explained to her the meaning behind my text. Shit I felt bad.

"Can I come see you later at like 7?"

I was hesitant to see what she was gonna say but she said yeah so it was all good. We rode back to her house in silence just listening to the music coming from out the speakers. She was wrapped up in whatever she was Doin on her phone and I was just vibin, enjoying her presence.
