Cry For Me

New Year, New You?

(I felt that it needed a time skip because the way it was headed, it would go on for years and that's a no, no🙅.)

"Baby!?! Where you at?" Deshawn yelled through the house, from where I suspect the front door to be.

"In the kitchen", I replied, all while continuing to fix up the food that I was preparing for us. Over the past couple of months, I've really

Grown as a person. I've become stronger, more independent, and plus the bad days are getting less and less and it's all because of the gorgeous man that I live with.

Because of him, I'm not that afraid anymore and I've made new friends in the fellas that he introduced me to last month at the trap.

They are my new family. Speaking of a new family member, D and Trey both walked into the kitchen and greeted me.

"Hey baby," D said after giving me a long hug and kiss on my head, which has become a thing of his, a thing that I loved.

"Hey, best friend!!" Trey's loud ass said before pulling me into a bear hug making my feet leave the ground.

"Hello Trey," I said between giggles, hugging him back around the neck. Now, I'm close to all of the guys, they are like the older brothers I've never got to have.

But Trey, Trey is a whole nother story. I and him are extremely close. We have a lot in common and both have a dark past. We are around each other so much that I think D is starting

To get jealous.

"You can put me down now." I patted Trey's head still laughing mines off.

With a huff, he complied and sat at the kitchen's Island, next to Deshawn and across from me.

"Whatcha making love?" D asked, leaning over the counter trying to get a peak.

"Just some fried chicken, collard greens, baked Mac and cheese, mash potatoes, and bread rolls, for you and the guys. Nothing special." I said looking over the chicken before turning toward him and Trey

They both were practically salivating from their mouths causing me to chuckle and continue doing what I was doing.

I was moving fast because I knew that my other boys were coming soon.

"Yoyo Duces in the house!" I heard someone yelling signaling that the guys were here

------
"Lyric, girllllll, you need to stop playing with that big-headed ass over there and come marry me cus, DAMN you can throw down," Duce says, after finishing his food, leaning back in his chair and rubbing his stomach.

While his comment made me die from laughter, it cause D to mug him super hard, which made me laugh harder.

"Ain't nobody over here want to marry your ugly ass," Deshawn said, still mugging.

"Boy, she would marry me before she married you, that's why she ain't kiss your crusty ass yet," Duce mumbled knowing that everyone could hear.

"Oooh," all the guys except for Deshawn said, spicing it.

Looking over at him, I could tell that he felt some type of way about it. We have been somewhat together for about three months, if you could call it that, but have never been more intimate than a hug and a kiss on the cheek or head.

"Ard guys cut it out. It's getting late anyway so y'all should be getting home to get some rest." I said, stopping the boys in mid laughter.

They all 'awed' and 'booed' but left anyways after a couple of more minutes of argument between them and I. I, of course, won.
