Harlem Lovin

{Briana's mom in MM}
Rocky

It was ten minutes before I had to be at Yasmine's house and I didn't have to worry about the train because my mom was letting me borrow her car.

"Bye Ma I'm leaving." I gave her a quick kiss on the cheek.

Treat that girl right Rakim don't be playing with these little girls out here you hear?!

"Yes Ma I know." She handed me her keys and gave me a hug.

I love you be safe baby.

"I love you too Ma." I walked out the door and she locked it behind me. Ever since my brother Ricky died she made sure to tell me be safe and she loved me every time I left. He sold work and I don't but still shit can get crazy in Harlem.

I turned the car on and put my seat belt on before texting Yasmine and letting her know I was on my way. I pulled out and made my way towards her house listening to my music at a low volume. As I got closer to her house my stomach started to feel weird. I shook my head knowing damn well a nigga wasn't nervous..or am I? I would be lying if I said I wasn't feeling Yasmine but I ain't no little ass boy so I shouldn't be getting nervous.

I pulled up to her house at exactly 9 and parked my car making my way to her door. I took a little breath before knocking.

Hi how may I help you? A brown skin woman that looked maybe in her early thirties answered the door.

"Uh yeah my name is Rakim I'm here to take Yasmine out." I stuck my hand out for her to shake.

Oh yes okay I think she's almost ready come in. Do you want anything to drink?

"No I'm okay thanks though." I walked in taking a seat in the kitchen. Whatever she was cooking smelled good.

"It's a shame you'll be eating dinner alone that food smells real good." I laughed.

Thank you Rakim but I'll be fine. She laughed.

Yasmine
I heard Rocky and Ma talking downstairs and I knew I had to hurry up and stop being scared. I had my outfit picked but this was the third one I picked out. I would text Briana but I know she would try and make me walk out the house half naked. I just threw on the outfit on my bed, grabbed my two chains, sprayed some perfume on and grabbed my bag.

You got this Yasmine y'all just going to hangout. I told myself taking a deep breathe.

To say I was nervous was an understatement and what made me more nervous is not knowing where we're going. I started walking downstairs into the kitchen and seen Rocky and Ma chopping it up.

"Hey y'all." I said and they turned around.

Hey Yasmine, your little friend here is so sweet. You made a good choice. She went back to her food and I laughed.

Hey Yas. Rocky got up and hugged me.

"Hey you ready to go?"

Yeah we can slide if you ready.

"Bye Ma I'll see you later." I hugged and kissed her.

It was nice meeting you Rakim y'all be safe.

We made our way to his car and I was about to reach for the door handle until my hand was pulled away by Rocky.

I don't know what dudes you been around but as long as you around me I'll be opening every door for you.
