My Hood Love 3

|Chapter 4|

Riety Pov.

Looking in the mirror at myself made me smile. The fact that I favoured my mother made me miss her more and more when I saw myself. I think about her everyday and wish she was here. A small tear rolled down my face as I remembered the day she came home and I told her everything.

["Mommy, I missed you. Please don't leave me again." I said with tears in my eyes.

"I won't but where trey?" She asked looking around.

"His girlfriend mommy."

Her mouth dropped.

"Anything else I need to know." She asked.

"He kicked me in my back because I was gonna tell you." ]

["Baby, listen to me. You're going to stay with kehlani and zay. I'll be back for you. I love you."

"I love you too." I said.]

More tears began to fall as I laid on my bed. I never knew that would of been my last time seeing and talking to her. She said she would come back for me and end up never coming back.

"Riety fai-"Kehlani began as she walked into my room but stopped when she saw me crying.

"Riety what's wrong?"She asked sitting next to me.

"It's my fault." I sniffled.

"What is?"

"My mom's death. If I never would of said anything."

"No baby you did right. Your mother basically died for you."

I wiped my tears away. My mom was a very strong woman. She did everything she could to protect and care for me. But god had her wings and he gave them to her that day.

Sitting on the park benches, sipping Arizona and eating hot fries while we watched the boys play basketball. We had been here for at least 2 hours, talking about random stuff and joking around. Despite what happened the other night, I can forgive her and can say she's still my bitch.

"My hot fries gone."I pouted.

"Girl here, the store right there at the corner. I'll stay here." She said handing me $5.

I smiled jumping up and began walking towards the store that was located on the corner across from the court.

"And bring me back some skittles."She yelled behind me. That girl love some skittles.

After I crossed the street I walked into the store which was hot as it always is. Seems like most Jew stores are always hot in the summer.

I walked in going down the aisle where the chips were when a small little girl came running around the corner. She bumped me and fell back. She looked up at me with an adorable smile.

"Well aren't you cute."I said helping her to her little feet.

"Imani." A guy said making her look back. I looked up and saw Chandler.

"Riety?"
"Chandler?"

I giggled at the fact we spoke at the same time.

"I'm sorry she's a little hyper off candy. What are you doing here?" He asked taking her hand then picking her up.

"Its fine and this is a public store."I said in a playfully duh tone.

"I mean- dang yeahh you right."He said feeling a little embarrassed on such a stupid question.

I giggled. He was so cute when he looked like that.

"I gotta get back to my friend." I said with a smile.

"Alright cool."He said beginning to walk away. I nodded and walked the other direction gathering my items.

After I paid for them I began walking out just before I was stopped. I turned my head now facing Chandler.

"Yes?" I asked raising an eyebrow.

"Um I was wondering if uhh- I can-"

"Noombuh."Imani said said trying to pronounce number. I giggled.

He chuckled. "Yeah number. Can I get your number?"

I blushed. "Sure."

I grabbed his phone, putting my number in and handing it back. I flashed a smile before heading back to Faith. When I reached her she was talking to some boy. She saw me and said her goodbyes and he jogged off joining the other guys on the court.

"Who was that?"I asked sitting next to her handing her the bag of skittles.

"Nobody."She shrugged.

I gave her a yeah right face before opening up my bag of hot fries.

"Yeah but what took you so long huh?"

"A long line." I lied.
