Keith Powers & Algee Smith Imagines

28) The Girl In The Floral Shop 2

Keith
My mom came out of the shop and she didn't look happy. "Why you look like that ma" I asked as she got in the car. "I really wanted you and Morgan to work something it and that other girl is just not your type"

"What do you mean by not my type there is nothing wrong with her"

"Morgan dressed with some class while that other girl was dressed like she just came off a corner" I looked at her and took a pause before I said anything. "Her name is Yn and I think she's pretty dope and I would've thought you would've thought the same but I guess you've changed"

"What do you mean by I've changed you need a girl that's going to impact your image in a good way and I'm thinking about your career"

"Ma no your not thinking about my career and my career doesn't matter it's about my feelings can't you understand that" she looked pissed and we said nothing the rest of the way back to my house. Kevin was still at my house.

I walked in the house and he was in my refrigerator. "I'm never home so I don't have food" I said to him. "Yeah I realized that now so how was the floral shop" my mom sat at the island pissed.

"Terrible talk to your older brother I'm going home" she got up and left. What was the point in coming in when you were gonna leave? I thought to myself. "What happened" Kevin asked me.

"Ight so since I been going to this shop I been seeing this girl but I never said anything to her and today ma introduced me to this girl who's family owns the shop and well ole girl said something to me"

"Damn so what was this girl ma introduced you to about"

"Thinks she better than everybody but I gotta go change"

"Wait for what"

"Oh I'm going to pick the other girl up from work"

"Can I get this girl's name"

"Yn now leave"

I went upstairs changed clothes then I sat down and watched some tv. I looked at the time and it was 5:15 so I decided to go ahead and leave. I got to the shop and Yn was outside sweeping. "I kinda doubted you would come" she said putting her broom against the window. "Damn I'm being doubted already and our date hasn't even started yet"

"Whateva" she grabbed the broom and started sweeping again. I just stood there watching her. "Why you starin at me creep" she asked looking down at the ground. "Because I can got a problem with it"

"Not really" we talked for a little bit then Morgan came outside. "Yn I need you to stay here later" Morgan says to her. "For what"

"Deep cleaning clean the flower pots dump old soil bring the old flowers inside stuff like that"

"Why didn't you tell me all of this when I came in today because I have plans"

"Sorry no plans for you or if you don't want to do what I say then I'll just tell my mother to fire you"

"Why you gotta be like that Morgan she didn't do anything to you" I said to her. "Because I can sorry to cancel your little date it wouldn't have worked anyway"

"You know what Morgan go fuck off" Yn says flicking her off. "Yn your really pushing it I can have you fired"

"Oh I'll save you the trouble I quit" she handed Morgan the broom went inside grabbed her bag and came back outside. I was shook. "You ready?" she asked me.

"Yeah let's go" we got in my car and we went to Roscoe's sat down in a booth ordered and started talking. "That was bold as shit I hope you know that" I said to her. "Ehh it is what it is she's treated me like dirt since I started working there"

"And you never told me what your situation was" she took a sip of her drink and took a deep breath. "Well I was in a really really bad relationship got beat everyday most of my family is still in New York so one day my boyfriend put me out on the side of the road and I came across Miss Anne and she helped me and in return for her help I started working for her shop"

"Damn seems really rough I'm sorry to hear that but what are you going to do now since you just quit" I questioned. "Oh I have a whole other job I had 2 jobs to be able to support my job even though off the job I have now I can support myself"

"Wow you like some level of badass independent woman in a good way though" she laughed at my comment. "Thank you very much"

We sat at Roscoe's and talked for hours. I finally took her home and the car ride was pretty quiet but it was a comfortable silence. We pulled up to her apartment and she got ready to get out but I grabbed her hand. "What am I forgetting something" she says. "Yeah you forgot to give me your number and a good night kiss" she smiled and took her hand out of mine. "Walk me up to my apartment and you can get it" I parked the car and walked with her to her apartment. "You live on the 5th floor that's stressful" I said out of breath. "Not really to me I said I'm making a way for myself it's not higher living but it's nice pricing on the 5th floor"

"Alright I understand now them digits" I said as we reached her door. "What about 'em" She says taking her key out. "Can I get them or what"

"I don't know why"

"Because I would really like to take you out again and I need a number to hear this beautiful voice of yours" all of a sudden her door swings open revealing a little boy in superman pajamas. "Where you been it's 9 o'clock" the little boy says. "Oh I was out um sorry Keith I gotta go"

"Wait who exactly is he"

"Go back inside baby please" she says to the little boy as he walks in. "That was my son Ayden"
