"So who is this boy you're running off with again?" My dad asked from the doorway.

"Its not a boy. Its Boyd. You've met him like a gazillion times" I said while straightening my hair.

It was Saturday and Boyd called me around 7am telling me to be ready around 12pm because he was taking me somewhere. My dad saw that I was up earlier than usual and had been asking me questions all morning. My mom wasnt at home. She had been taking up extra hours and shifts since rent was coming up soon.

I honestly didnt care that I wasnt seeing her around the house as often. She was being ridiculous. Amaru has been missing for over a week and our mom doesnt even care one bit. I understand she didnt want her to be pregnant, especially by a guy thats older than her but just treating her as if she's not important or her child is just irrational.

"Well, I guess i'll leave you alone to get ready for that boy of yours" my dad said and went away. I assumed to go read like he always did. I doubt anything was on tv that he would find interesting enough to watch.

My phone started to ring and I rolled my eyes before answering. "You said twelve, its eleven thirty."

"You said twelve, its eleven thirty headass" Boyd mocked me. "Bring yo ass on."

I chuckled and hung up before grabbing my bag and leaving. When I got outside, I spotted Boyd's car right away and walked to it.

When I opened the door, I was greeted by a seat full of stuff. There were flowers, balloons, and a gift bag. I immediately began to blush and cover my face once I saw that Boyd was recording me. "Aaaaahhh, shit. Look ya'll, she shy" he cackled while snapchatting.

"I swear I hate you so much. Stop it" I laughed while moving the stuff so I could sit down. Boyd sat his phone down and helped me.

Once all the things were in the backseat, he leaned over and kissed me. "What is all of this for?" I asked him as he started to pull off.

"You too stressed. You need to relax and enjoy yourself. So i'm 'bout to give you a lit ass day cause i'm a lit ass nigga" he grinned and plugged his phone up to the aux. "Pick and choose" he handed me his phone and I smirked knowing just what I was going to play.

I went to his music and just put his Migos playlist on shuffle. I then reached into the backseat and grabbed the gift-bag that he had for me. "Impatient ass couldnt wait huh?" he joked.

"Umm, I want to know whats in it" I told him and pulled the tissue out to see what was under it. I smiled when I saw what he got me. There were a few phone cases, a bunch of my favorite snacks, and a giftcard.

I grinned widely and leaned over to kiss him on the cheek. "Thank you."

I stayed quiet and enjoyed the ride until we ended up at our destination. Boyd parked and we got out at an ice cream place. I squinted at him. "Isnt it a little too early for ice cream?" I asked.

He side eyed me. "Its rules to ice cream? Damn, I aint know. Run 'em off for me" he responded sarcastically.

I rolled my eyes with a laugh. "You're lucky I ate breakfast."

He did the face like Nick Young with the question marks around his head. "I told yo ass to eat breakfast."

I shrugged. He was right. "Still lucky."

He nudged my head and grabbed the door for me. "Wow, Boyd can be a gentleman? I'm amazed" I joked. I always teased him about it.

"I'ma let the door hit yo' light bright ass right in yo' big ass forehead on the way out" he said. I laughed as we walked over the counter.
