"Navette you kinda small I don't think you can fit none of my ball shorts." I said holding up a pair to her waist.
"I can just wear a loose shirt or something, I just wanna get into bed."
I pulled out another drawer and found her one of my old shirts that I go hoop in. It was long and the sleeves were cut off, but it's the best I could do. I showed her were the bathroom was and waited outside of the door for her to hand me her under clothes. I put her stuff in the washer and came upstairs to go to my room. I could hear the water still running in the shower. I put on my headphones and turned to my Drake playlist on my ipod. I was just vibing when I felt my phone vibrating. Damn who could be calling this late? It was Ari texting me. I sighed before going to the message.
Ari: Baby I am sorry bout 2day don't be mad

I was waiting on a smart reply when Navette walked through my door holding her clothes.
"You can sit them in the dirty clothes behind the door, and I'll wash em tomorrow."
She put the clothes in the hamper behind my door trying her best not to bend her knees too much because the shirt was coming up.
My shirt was big on her, but it barely came down to her knees. I could see the outline of her nipples and I knew she wasn't wearing panties cause I was washing them. I tried not to stare, but she was so beautiful with her towel wrapped around her head.
"Hey can I stay up her with you til my clothes dry?"
"Yeah that's cool, hit that light for me though please."
She turned out the light and I came and sat on the edge of my bed.
"I wish I knew what to say to make you feel better."
"There's nothing really for anybody to say or do Leroi. My baby is gone and it is all my fault."
I scooted over and patted the bed next to me for her to lay down. When she did I wrapped my arms around her.
"Mama it's not your fault we can't control how things happen. Whenever you are ready to talk about it I'm here for you okay?"
"Okay."
"Leroi?"
"Yeah mama?"
"Do you think that Shay will be happy now? She used to get picked on real bad about the way she looked and I had to always tell her she was pretty."
"She will be happier than we could ever know cause it's got to get better than this right?"
"Yeah I guess you're right. I just hope that they don't lock up my daddy. As crazy as it is he is all I got left. Shayla's mama was the only other person that showed me love."
"Don't ever think that Vette," I said turning her towards me, " You got me and my mama and we both love you and Shayla."
There was an awkward silence and I realized that she was crying.
"I love yall too Leroi."
