Chapter 4:

Cierra

"Ooh you look cute." My mom said when I came into her room. "You about to leave?"

"Thanks. Yeah Mike is on the way." I said sitting down on her bed.

"What yall gonna do?" She asked.

"He said we are going to the grocery then probably just back to his house. I wanna go on a date so I'ma get in his ear."

"Oh gosh." She said with a light laugh. "Go on your date then ma'am. Just make sure you make it home on time. Rules and regulations."

"I know, mom." I said looking away to roll my eyes, but I got a smack in the back of my head making me roll away laughing.

"Stop, mommy, you gonna mess up my hair." I said.

"Girl I'm the one that did it. It's nice and shiny, I did that press." She said running her hand through my hair.

"Oh gosh." I said with a laugh.

When Mike texted me he was outside I grabbed my little crossbody bag putting it on then saying bye to my mom before leaving out the house.

"Oh you finally got that hair done, huh?" Mike smart ass asked when I got into the car.

"Fuck you." I said pushing his shoulder as he chuckled. "My hair is always done."

"Well I should say finally out since you always got some type of braids in."

"Leave me alone, Mike. I'm cute either way tho." I said.

"That's for damn sure." He said placing his hand on my thigh. "Fine ass."

"Shut up." I said blushing.

"Gimme a kiss." I said when he took the car out of park about to pull off.

He chuckled, "Oh you want these lips, huh?"

"I want them lips." I said smiling shyly before he leaned over to give me a kiss.

"You can have these lips whenever girl."

"Oh so you do most of the grocery shopping?" I asked while we were parking and he had a list of things his sister wanted.

"Nah my sister does it most of the time. We have an agreement she goes to the store to get them and I bring them inside. I'm just running here for junk and shit honestly and she gave me a list of a couple of things."

I nodded, "I'd be cool with that. Let me do most of the actual grocery shopping getting things we both like of course then you bring it inside the house."

"See we are gonna be perfect together." He said coming up behind me wrapping his arms around my shoulders holding me against him.

Mike went to get a cart while I headed through the second set of automatic doors.

"Can you cook?" He asked randomly catching up to me.

"Um a few things. My mom does basically all the cooking, but here and there I'll help or make certain things by myself." I said and he nodded.

"So you gonna make us dinner tonight?" He asked.

"Like what?" I asked chuckling.

"Whatever you know how to make." He said with a shrug.

"Um spaghetti is simple." I said. "Do you like that?"

"Yeah, doesn't everybody like spaghetti?"

"No my little brother literally hates it."

"Aw little dude down bad."

"Right."
