Amari POV
Its been a little over a week since we left New Orleans and I was still adjusting to this. I could tell Mariah was too. It wasn't that bad. At least we had a roof over our heads and money to take care of us. It was just enough space for us three. Mariah and I took the bed while Jun slept on the pull out couch. Which was nice of him.
Jun has been job hunting since the second day. Although he had more than enough money to provide for us right now. We knew eventually it would run out. I have been thinking about everyone back home. Tasha, Jalani, Bryson, .... Even Robert. I wonder how they all putting up with us leaving the way we did.
Right now Jun was out getting us something to eat. I was laid up in the bed channel surfing until I decided on The Wiz. Mariah was in the bathroom taking a shower. I was getting into the movie singing along to Get on down the road before I heard the bathroom door open up.
Out came Mariah in her Hello Kitty pajamas with her tooth brush popped in her mouth. Her hair was dripping wet all over the floor. "I thought I strictly told you not to get your hair wet." she replied with her words muffled by the toothpaste. "Ew go spit in the sink" I said pointing to the bathroom as she tried to stop the spit from dripping on the floor.
She then came back wiping her mouth with her small pink face towel. "You can't take a good shower without getting your hair wet huh?" I said signaling her over so I could wrap her hair in a towel. "The floor better not be wet when I go in there to shower." she twisted the lips to the side looking down at her feet. I sucked my teeth "I knew I should have taken mine before you."
There was a knock on our door making us both jump. I giggled mushing her face as I got up from the bed. "Punk"
"You jumped too!" she laughed pushing my butt almost making me fall. I glared at her and she covered her mouth to hold back laughs. I turned and stood on my tippy toes to look through the peep hole. It was Jun with our food struggling to carry three bags and a cup holder of drinks.
I opened the door revealing him soaked with rain. The rain ran off the hood of his jacket bouncing of the lids of our drinks. "You know you could have beeped the horn and asked for help." I said taking the bag he had holding by his mouth.
"Well Im in here now." he said brushing past me to get inside. He shook himself off like a dog splashing water everywhere. Mariah shrieked and giggled as she shield herself from the water. I groaned mugging him as he cracked at my face expression. "Must you be an ass?" I asked picking up a random shirt to dry off.
He simply laughed again pulling his jacket over his head and tossing it on the floor. He began passing out our food and drinks and we all bowed our heads. Mariah prayed for us and then we all began digging into our bags. "What's for dinner tonight?" Mariah asked and I sucked my teeth pulling out a box of chicken.
"Again?"
"Yes. Again. Problem?"
"This the third night this week Jun. Yall gonna turn into a chicken after a while."
"I asked you to come along. You said no. You could have picked out your own food." he said biting into his sandwich. Big ass mouth bit off bout half of it.
"I wasn't going out in the rain. I just finished doing my hair." Not that it made a difference after he wanted to be a dog and shake water everywhere.
"Shut up and eat then." he mumbled with a mouth full. I looked up from my food then shook my head and tossed it on the night stand. "Im not hungry." I said laying back on the bed with my arm rested behind my head. I heard Jun kiss his teeth and mumble something. I just chuckled lowly and turned up the volume on the TV.
