A Hustlers Love.

In the cut!

Wednesday

The Mall

Las Vegas, Nevada

Tiara's POV

I got out of the car as the hot breeze blew against my skin. Looking at the mall in front of us caused a wave of butterflies to raid my stomach.

"The fuck?" I mumbled to myself.

"What?" Bee said looking at me sideways.

"Nothing my stomach just... Nothing." I laughed walking towards the doors. We were meeting the guys here in the food court to just chill like they said they wanted to. As a group we decided on not meeting at anyone's house because we really don't even know them that well.

"You nervous huh?" Bee questioned lowly, low enough to where we were mumbling to each other so no one else would hear.

"Hell no.... Are you?" I questioned.

"Little bit... But I always get kinda nervous around him. As weird as that is."

"Word?" I raised an eyebrow at her change in demeanor. She was usually the very confident person that didn't back down her own personality to please another niggas expectations.

"Yeah, don't think I'm changing or Nothing though. I'm just sorta adjusting to him or whatever. I'll be back to the real bee in no time." She shrugged.

"Yea, of course." I agreed rolling my eyes at her. She knew Kaylon was gonna become a big factor in her life to where she was gonna continue to have to change for him.

I walked inside letting the cool air hit my flowing mint colored shirt making the butterflies in my stomach rattle now.

I scanned the food court spotting the boys at a joined table on the other side. They were laughing and throwing food at eachother.

Can't take niggas anywhere. 😪 I sighed.

"That's them?" I questioned although I already knew it was.

"Yea cmon." Nae said leading the way. She's so damn upfront about things she never eases her way in.

"Wassup y'all?" Nae said leaning against Tae's chair.

They all turned and looked at us. I tried my hardest not to make eye contact with Jordan even though I could feel him staring. When I had finally looked at everyone besides him I turned locking eyes with him. The original plan was to turn, nod my head, then have a seat, yet here I was holding direct eye contact while he smirks and looks me up and down.

"Wassup Tiara..." Jordan said leaning against the table smiling at me.

Ghat damn

"Wassup Jordan..." I said awkwardly now that everyone was staring at us smirking.

"Why the hell y'all staring at me. " I mumbled.

" Ight so here's the plan..." Kaylon said ignoring my question. "We were gonna split up and go shop with a partner but since some people may not be comfortable with anyone, we decided to go roam the mall as a group." He shrugged.
