Must Love Malak Watson

Chapter Thirteen

I wake up and wash my face and brush my teeth. Then I facetime Malak cause I miss him. He answers. "Hey baby" He says in a raspy voice. "Hey, I miss you" I whine. "Imma see if I can come over but I might not be able to cause my dad tryna !make me get in football"

"Ugh what you doin?" I smile real hard. He pits his lips to the camera. "Wtf, you nasty Malak". He laugh and moves his lips. "I'm finna eat though" Malak smiles. "You leavin me" I whine. "I have to or my momma gone take my phonenip cause she dont like when I'm at the table and I'm on it, but imma call you later. Love you"

"Alright then. I love you too" He hangs up and I take a shower. I put on a purple t shirt and black ripped pants. I'm finna be bored.

I walk downstairs and go into the kitchen. "Okay that'll work" my mom says as she hang up the phone. I open the fridge and grab a donut.

"Laila were gonna go see your grandparents because we needa get back on good terms with them" She explains. "Good cause I was finna be bored" I take a bite of my donut. "Were going soon, so been ready when I call your name". I nod my head and she walks out he kitchen. I haven't seen them since last year and I miss my grandma. She will but me whatever I ask for so I'm finna ask for a iPhone 7s.

Since I get bored I get on YouTube and watch Trill Sammy's music videos. If I met him in real life, it would be so lit.

On my fourth video I hear my mom call me. I run upstairs and grab my charger then I go out to the car. I get in the passengers seat and she starts the car. "When we get here I want you to treat them with respect and if she asks do you want something other than food or a drink then you're gonna say no" She states with a straight face.

She just ruined my whole plan."Um why can't I answer them if they ask if I want something'' I mug her. "Because I said so and if you do then I'll take your phone up"'

I roll my eyes as we pull up to their house. They gotta big house for two people. I get out the car, grabbing my phone and charger. "Remember what I said" My mom walks up to the front door. I follow her as she knocks on the door.

"Oh sweetie you really came" Grandma Tasha opens the door and hugs my mom. "And my grand baby" she hugs me then she let's us in.

"We have breakfast made" Grandma Tasha heads to the kitchen. "Oh y'all made it" My Grandpa Joey comes from upstairs. "Yea" My mom hugs him and he hugs me. "How yall been?" Grandpa Joey asks. "We been fine, great actually" My mom answers.

"Alrighty breakfast is complete" Grandma yells. We all take seats at the table. Grandpa leads us in grace then we dig in. "Laila, what might you want for your birthday, I know its next Wednesday" Grandma asks me.

I knew she was gonna ask. "I really want a iPhone 7s" I answer before taking a bite of eggs. My mom mugs me from across the table. "I'll see what I can do"

After we eat we all talk about everything, especially school. "Alright ma we better get going" My mom says as she looks at her phone. "Okay I'll see y'all soon"

"Love you" Me and my mom say as we leave the house. We get in the car and pull off. "What did I tell you about answering her"

"Gimme that phone"

"I didn't even do nothin"

"Give it here"

"Why, why didn't you want  me to answer her?"

"Because I dont want other people buying stuff for you, you could've asked me"

"Yea whatever cause I bet you didnt even remember my birthday was comin up"

"Oh I remembered but with the attitudes you've had lately you're not getting nothin"

We pull up to the house and I get out the car, quickly running upstairs into my room. I dial Malak's number and he picks up. "You at home?" I ask him.

"Yea"

"Imma see if I can come over"

"Alright babe"

I hang up and grab my phone and the charger. I go into the kitchen and get a pack of Oreos then I walk out the front door.

After a long walk to Malak's house I knock on his door. He opens the door. "Wassup" he says. "Nothing I just didn't wanna be at home cause my momma stay trippin"

He let's me in then I sit on the couch beside him. "Lemme play" I grab the controller from him. He was playing 2k15 and I dont even know how to play. "Dont make me loose, I'm finna go get some food" he leaves the couch.

Its too late for that, he already lost and the game is over. I set the controller down and open my Oreos. "Laila did you make me loose" he comes back into the living room with two bags of chips and some drinks. "Nope, it just restarted" I lie.

"My game is not broke so I know it didnt do that" he smiles the attacks me on the couch. He tickles me. "Please stop Malak" I groan while he still tickles me.

"Say please stop daddy"

"No" he tickles me even more and I start becoming out of breath. "Please please stop daddy" he smirks then stops tickling me. "Yea" he throws me a bag of chips and gets the controller.
