Know Your Worth

Closer

By the time I woke up, Mekkah was gone. He left a little note that read:

I had to get up and go home to my sister and make sure she was alright. You're so beautiful when you sleep, I didn't wanna wake you up. I thought about what you said and you're right. I gotta let my guard down with you. Thanks for everything, Ari. Your food was bangin! I'm getting hungry all over again just thinking about it. I owe you. I'll be texting and calling you off my new phone. Thanks to you. See you later, pretty.

I blushed. I looked down and saw that I was fully dressed, the same way I went to bed. Mekkah was a gentleman. I smiled and held the note to my chest.

I heard a knock on the door that soon turned into a beat. Carter.

I opened the door. "Hey, you." I smiled.

"Kiss my ass. What's for breakfast?" He pushed his way in.

"Look in the fridge and get busy, Hakeem." I rolled my eyes.

"Who the fuck is Hakeem?" He asked while rummaging through my refrigerator.

I turned on the TV and went to my DVR list where I had Moesha recorded.

"Watch." I spoke.

I let it play and as soon as Hakeem came and started looking for food, I side-eyed Carter.

"That nigga was poor, I'm just hungry. Anyways, who you left with last night?" Carter questioned.

"Mekkah thought I was too lit so he got into daddy mode and brought me back." I shrugged.

"The same Mekkah that cursed you out for getting him an iPhone? Or the mysterious nigga that has a problem with you holding your own and offering to pay for shit? Or these two are the same person...?" Carter asked.

"Who else you know that's named after a played out clothing line?" I rolled my eyes.

"You fucked him?" He asked.

"Nope... he ain't even try. Lord knows I wanted to." I bit my lip.

"That nigga gay." Carter cackled.

"Worry about your friends that are in Char's DM's before you go calling people gay."

"When you gon give him some pussy?" Char asked as he tied his laces.

"Whenever he try and take it. Bitch, I'm over taking the initiative." I did my stretches.

We were in the studio, waiting for the girls to come in.

"He a bum... but he is fine. Gotta give it to him." He shrugged.

"You think he got a big-?"

"I ain't know that I could squirt, sis! I was like 'you go boy!'" Zina and the rest of the lil hoochies busted in, cutting me off.

"What?! Girl, if you don't get-" I pretended I was gonna spank her.

"Awww come on, Ari... I'm about to be 19. Can we talk about it? Instead of dancing today?" She asked, putting her water bottle down.

"Ehhhh, neh. Come on, stretches." I instructed.

"She know she got them tips for us! She hiding them. Mizz Jones a freak." Tiara cackled.

"Young hoes. No respect." Char flipped his hair.

"Word." I smirked.

"Chardonnay, you wanna tell us how it feel to take in the ass?" Ashley asked.
