"Bitch come through! You-and-you"
Rakim screamed in my ear, overly excited and bouncing with me.
I put him down and he ran over to Ella
We were throwing a block party and everyone showed up.
"We out this bitch, turnt. How long you think until 5-0 show up?" Miles asked me.
"Well I aint leaving til the food truck run out of food, so we'll see" I laughed and shuffled over to get a canned soda.
Rakim handed me a huggie. "Open"
"Don't walk with it" I said and peeled the aluminum all the way off.
He turned to walk away, but I scooped him up.
"Hey, Rakim!" Whitney sipped on some lemonade. "Who did your hair?"
"Amina" I turned away from her and the little one dropped his juice on the ground.
I sucked my teeth and went to go get him another one, setting him down.
Ella was getting her face painted, and that interested him so he dragged me over there with him after I got the drink.
I walked away though, and bumped into Lauryn. "Wassup, mamas?"
She was hiding a whole person behind her.
Lauryn gave me a devilish smile before rolling her eyes. "Hello, Rakim"
"You smell like weed, fool. I hope that that isn't Dianna behind you" I said, and searched her eyes for the answer that I already knew.
"Flacko, come dance with me!" Some girl pulled at my hand.
I gave her a once over before walking away with her. "Talk to you later, Lauryn. Dianna."
I don't remember shawty name, but I remembered the way she danced on me.
"How are you going to do this at a get-together?" I spoke into her neck. "This not even the right environment"
She slowed down her movement, and sat on my lap. "Your girlfriend keep looking at you"
"Ella or Whitney?"
"Both and that other girl"
"Well I don't have a girlfriend, and none of them ever was one. We just kick it sometimes"
I seen Travis hop out of a car, and everyone looked at me.
I sucked my teeth, and moved away from her to confront Travis.
As soon as he stepped up to me, I pushed him off onto the curb. "Fuck you doing 'round here? You not invited"
"My mama-"
"No"
"Rakim-" He said in a rushed whisper.
"You know who the fuck you belong to. Don't come back round here nomore unless you tryna drop dead on this grass. And it ain't gonna be me that shoot you, either"
Travis turned and hopped back in the uber he came in.
I walked over to Lauryn and sat down beside her friend.
"I didn't know that you got high" I said to Dianna.
"You all up in her business" Lauryn said. "What's the big deal?"
