A continuation of that night...Luke and Sasha rode down the dark streets of New York, listening to Redbone by Childish Gambino lowly. The two hadn't said a word to each other really, just allowing the music to speak for them. Their minds were in different places. Luke thought about his child, that would've been close to being born by now, and Sasha thought about Nathan. She didn't know how to feel or react. She wanted to forget the whole thing in all honesty.
"You smoke?" Luke asked her, knocking her out of her thoughts.
"You mean like, weed? No!" She exclaimed causing him to chuckle.
Well, you will tonight. If you want to feel better."
"Talk about peer pressure." She responded. She had never smoked weed a day in her life and she didn't know if she wanted to. Lola smokes all the time and tried to get Sasha to do it, but she could never persuade her. Luke soon pulled up at a very dark abandoned looking house. Sasha looked at him in confusion.
"I'm about to get the weed. You stay in the car with the doors locked and try not to bring attention to yourself." He motioned to her phone that was lit up brightly and she quickly turned down the brightness. Luke got out the car and jogged up to the house. Sasha watched as he stepped on the porch and knocked on the door. A slot in the door opened and the exchange was quick. Soon, Luke was back in the car. He quickly started the car and backed out from the house driveway. Once he got on the road, he tossed two ziplock bags of weed in Sasha's lap.
"And what do you want me to do with this?" She asked holding it up in the air. Luke snatched it from her grip.
"Girl, you can't be holding that in the air! You tryna get twelve on us?" Sasha scoffed.
"They're going to be on you. I did nothing." She said causing Luke to chuckle.
"You're in the car with me while I have weed. Cops don't care who bought it. Everybody going to jail." Sasha rolled her eyes and sat back in her seat. Over the time, they had both sobered up from their tipsy state. Luke soon pulled up to a convenience store.
"After we smoke this, you're going to get munchies so come on." Sasha was still nervous about smoking the green plant, but she didn't want to be a party pooper so she did as told. The two walked inside the store and went their own way. Sasha grabbed chips and candies, not sure what else she should get. Luke on the other side of the store grabbed more alcohol and snacks. They met back at the counter and the man behind it began to bag it up. Sasha began to pull out her debit card but Luke slapped it away.
"I can pay for my stuff, Luke." Luke shook his head.
"When you with me, you don't pay for nothing." The guy behind the counter chuckled and took Luke's card. Sasha huffed and grabbed the bags. They retreated back to the car.
"Okay, so where you wanna chill at?" Luke asked her.
"I guess we can go back to my place. Lola isn't home." Luke nodded and proceeded to her house.
.......................................................................................................
"Okay!" Luke exclaimed throwing all their belongings on Sasha's living room floor. Sasha sat down quietly across from him. "This is going to be so fun, Sash. I haven't smoked in so long." He sighed happily as he pulled out the necessary supplies to prepare the weed. He noticed that Sasha had a very sad look on her face. He stopped what he was doing and moved over to where she was.
"I know you're still upset about that dude." He started off causing her to sigh. "Talk to me. It's better to let it out then to keep it bottled up."
