*2 weeks later*

Jun POV

Its been smooth sailing the past few days. Mama took my word and relaxed a few days. I handled the current bills and we are slowing paying them all off and catching up. It felt good to help mama out. Besides that I spent the pass few nights on the phone with Amari.

I aint gonna lie I been feeling her. She was real cool and her personality was so unique. She was sort of weird though but in a cute way. Her laugh the way she blushed and the way she acts shyly when I mess with her. She was too innocent I knew I couldn't treat her like them other girls.

Not only would JT fuck me up if I hurt her but I wouldn't forgive my ownself. She got her guard up though but hopefully I could knock it down. Piece by piece and I am not after her jewel. I wanna have her heart.

Amari POV

I was helping my little sister, Mariah, with her sister homework when my phone vibrated on the table. I smiled when I saw Jun name pop up on my phone. He had been calling faithfully at 7 o'clock everyday for 2 weeks now. I gave him a chance of proving me wrong and getting to know him.

He was actually really sweet and funny. It was never a dull moment on the phone with him. We talked about everything under the sun making each other crack up with our corny jokes. "Hello" I answered while a seat on the love sofa and propping my feet up on a pillow.

"Why you trying to sound so proper?" he teased making me roll my eyes as if he could see me. "Whatever Hershey drop." I said making him laugh. We had gave each other these corny nicknames mine was Lemon drop. "What you up to Lemon drop?" he asked and I heard shuffling in the background.

"Just helping Mariah out with her math homework." I said with the phone between my ear and shoulder. I fiddled with my nails, a bad habit I picked up whenever I talked to him. "Aw hell she finna get like a 60 on that shit." he joked and I scoffed acting offended. "I know what I'm doing. Im smart." I said pouting at the end.

"Shut up with all that pouting. Tell my little girlfriend I said 'hello beautiful' " he said referring to my little sister. "Ri Jun said 'hello beautiful' " I said delivering the message. She looked up and smile revealing her missing front teeth. "Tell him I said hello" she said acting shy and finishing her work.

I delivered the message and we went on talking about any and everything. Somehow we got on the topic of food and which was better, spaghetti or lasagna. "Maybe we could settle this over dinner Saturday." he said through the speaker. I put him on speaker phone so I could get ready for bed.

We had already been on the phone for a little bit over 2 hours. I guess I was too quiet as I was changing. "You still there Lemon drop?" he asked and I finished wrapping my hair before grabbing my phone and flopping down on the bed. I rolled over on my stomach. "Yes sir." I said messing the designs on my comforter.

"Oh so what you say? Settle this ridiculous debate of you think lasagna is better." he repeated making me laugh. "Are you asking me on a date?" I asked him already knowing that he was. "Not a date just us settling this debate and me proving you wrong." I shook my head.

"Mhm" was all I said and he chuckled. "But if it was date. Would you attend it with me?" he asked seriously in his deep voice. You could tell when he got sleepy cause his voice would go down like 2 octaves. I did a small yawn and laid my head down on my pillow. "I guess so Hershey Drop" I could tell he was grinning on the other end of the of the phone.

"Thats wussup" he said barely above a mumble. "You sound sleepy. Should we talk tomorrow?" I asked him while getting under the covers getting comfortable. "No. Stay on the phone til I fall asleep." he whined sounding like a big baby. "Quit whining." I laughed laying the phone on the pillow next to my head.
