   "Why can't I go see her?" Lyric asked frowning up. Naomi sighed stirring some macaroni up. "She was just arrested for murder A'lyric... atleast not now."

"I knew she had it in her, she's so quiet.. the quiet one's are always crazy." Ej nodded as he flipped a page in his book. Lyric smacked her lips them smacked his book out of his hand. 

"Ma, tell Lyric to leave me alone!" "Enough! Leave eachother alone!" Naomi yelled. Lyric smiled and Ej rolled his eyes. "So irratating." He mumbled.

"So iRrAtaTiNg." Lyric mimicked. Ej went back to his book and Lyric focused on her mother. "When exactly can I see her?" Lyric asked. Naomi sighed.

"I'll let you know when it's okay." Lyric nodded. "Alright." Her phone started vibrating on the table and Naomi looked at it. Lyric quickly grabbed it.

"Jr texted you? Y'all are a thing now?" Naomi smiled and Lyric bit her lip from smiling. She texted him back and Naomi placed a hand on her hip.

"Maybe." Lyric mumbled. "Hmph." "We're dating.. is that okay?" She asked. Naomi nodded. "Yea I don't mind, just use protection-" Lyric gasped. "Mama!"

Ej scrunched his nose up. He was definitely not thinking about sex at his age but that was soon to change.

"I'm just saying, I don't want you to get pregnant at such a young age alright? I had you and Mace when I was twenty one but I had money and I finished college early." Naomi said.

Lyric nodded. "But don't have sex if you're not gonna own up to the shit that comes with it.. understand?" She looked at Lyric then at Ej.  "Yes." They said in unison.

"Good." Keenan walked into the kitchen and smiled at everyone. "Hey y'all." "Hey baby." Keenan smiled and hugged Naomi.  "What's up E?" Ej gave him a headnod.

"Where's your father?" Naomi asked cutting the stove off. "Still at the studio with Maceon." He mumbled opening the fridge. Naomi and Lyric looked at eachother.

"He's still at the studio?" Naomi asked. "Yes ma'am." Keenan grabbed a sprite and tossed one to A'lyric. Naomi scoffed.

"I'll call him, he got me fucked up if he thinks he's gonna skip dinner again." Naomi stumped upstairs. Lyric looked down at her phone and smiled when O'shea texted her back.

"Boyfriend?" Keenan asked glancing at her phone. "He's not my boyfriend..yet." Ej shook his head. "Everyone was talking about you two,  how you took him from his ex girlfriend."

Ej budded in. Lyric glared at him. "You did what now?" Keenan leaned against the counter. "It wasn't like that, he never liked her anyway."

"But they were dating." Kee said. Ej looked up at her and smiled. "..Yes, but only for like a week?" "They still dated." Ej said. "So? It wasn't that serious."

Ej shrugged. "It had to be serious if they dated Lyric." "No it wasn't." "Yes it was." Ej just wanted to push her buttons. "No. It. Wasn't." Lyric argued back.

"I haven't been here in years." Lyric smiled and O'shea locked their fingers together as they skated beside eachother. "I know right, remember I broke my toe?" Lyric laughed out loud. 

"Oh my God, your mom was so scared.. it took us hours to calm her down." "Yea she's crazy about me." O'shea mumbled. "Mhm, I see why." He laughed. 

"Not in that way.. just- you're amazing you know that? Really. You have a heart of gold." O'shea licked his lips. "You think so?" Lyric stopped infront of him and nodded.
