The Fault In Our Ball

Stephen

"Still wanna hang out?" I asked Ayesha, panting.

She laughed, "Most definitely, but first you're gonna sit here and catch your breath."

She placed a hand on each of my shoulders, and pushed me back onto the bench closest to us, then she took a seat beside me.

"Are you hungry?"

"Ehh, I could eat.. why?"

"How about we go get some burgers?"

"Well, how about we." I smiled at her.

She playfully rolled her eyes at me, "Silly, let's go?" she said in an unsure tone, holding out her hand.

I looked up at her, smiled, and took her hand, letting her lead the way to her car.

Sparky's Giant Burgers

"Pretty good, huh?"

"Mhmm, its off the chain!" I answered back to Cevin, making him laugh.

"Well I'm glad you're enjoying it."

"You eat here a lot?"

"I mean, considering the fact that it's free.. hell yeah!" he chuckled a bit.

I laughed, wiping crumbs away from my mouth, "I know that's right, must be nice to have your pops own a restaurant."

"Well, not always.. that old man can't get enough of this place, he's even here on holidays."

"Whatttt.." I put my hand over my heart, "this place must be really special to him."

"Yeah, after our mom died, he became so attached."

"Our?" I looked up at him.

"Yup, I have a little sister."

"I would have never kno--"

"Aye, ain't that your lil boyfriend over there?" he pointed towards the restaurant's entrance.

I could see the back of his big head as he held the door open for someone.

"Bruh." I mumbled to myself, putting my head down.

"Hey you... Cevin." Ayesha spoke, referring to me as you and Cevin by his name.

"Hey baby" Cevin paused, "what's up Steph?"

"Chilling, chilling." Steph said back.

I didn't even bother to look up at them before they walked off, it'd tick off the mini bomb in my head and then I'd probably explode.

"You okay mama?"

"Oh, yeah, I'm fine."

"You sure? We can leave if you want to."
