I sat in front of the mirror in my room,flat ironing my hair while Amaya sat on the bed,flipping through a magazine and eating watermelon.
"Do you think I should get my purple back in?" Amaya asked,referring to her wild curly hair. I glanced at her through the mirror,shrugging a bit.
"Thats up to you."
She got silent for a moment.
"Prince talk to you yet?" I asked,and she sighed.
"Not at all. Im in the process of moving all my stuff to the guest room downstairs. Maybe its time for us to be over anyway."
"And you're sure you're okay with that?" I asked,almost burning my hand with the flat iron.
"Well,yea. Imean,I saw no more interest in him anymore anyway,but it just hurt me to see him lose interest in me,you know?"
I nodded a bit,already finished with half of my head.
"Imean,maybe this is a sign. Maybe I should be with Trevor."
"You love him?" I asked.
"Not yet,but pretty close. He loves me."
"If loving you is wrong,I dont wanna be right." I sung,and she threw a pillow at me.
"Ow! You made me burn my scalp,bitch." I said,and she laughed.
I saw Craig walk in and change shirts,then he sat on the bed beside Amaya.
"Sup,curly?" He asked,and she waved at him.
I rolled my eyes a bit,and he smiled at me through the mirror.
"I love your hair when its straight." He said.
"Maybe I should've rolled it instead,then." I snapped back,and Amaya raised her eyebrows.
"I sense a little friction." Amaya said,chuckling a bit.
"Yea she's mad at me."
"Yea well you were being a dick."
"I said I was sorry."
"Why are you here anyway? I don't want any drugs." I said,and he widened his eyes.
I really didn't mean for that to slip out.
Amaya squinted her eyes.
"What?"
"Nothing." I said.
"Can you give us a second?" Craig asked Amaya.
"We dont need a second." I said,rolling my eyes.
"I'll just go." Amaya said,quickly walking out.
Craig shut the door.
"What was that? You cant be letting shit like that out your mouth." He said,frowning a bit.
"Oops." I said,uninterested. He sighed.
"Look,I said I was sorry."
"Yea you are. Craig I dont like this,new you." I said,turning to him.
He looked down at the ground.
"Well I'll step down a bit around my friends,and again I'm sorry for what I did,just don't be mad at me anymore,please?"
"Yea okay." I said,finished doing my hair.
"Can I have a hug?" He pouted a bit,and I chuckled,giving him a big hug.
"See I miss that." He said,pecking my lips.
"Yea,well I miss the old you." I replied,smiling a bit.

I stood in front of the stove,making tacos and burritos for everyone,while Marquan helped out a bit by laying out all the toppings.
"Is it done yet?" He asked.
"You are the most impatient person I know." I said,giving him a stank face.
He walked over to the stove and looked at the large pan of ground beef in sauce.
"Thats a lot of meat."
"Because its a lot of people in this house."
He sat on the counter,breaking one of the taco shells and eating it.
He took one end of it and dipped it in the sauce,earning a smack on the arm from me.
"Ah!" He said,rubbing his arm.
"Dont test me,boy."
"You're so cute when you're feisty." He said,and I laughed.
"Yea,well I wont be cute when I throw this whole pan of meat on you,will I?" I asked,and he looked down.
"What smells good in here?" I heard Chres ask,and I saw him walk in,munching on some chips.
"She's making tacos." Marquan said,eating another taco shell.
Chres licked his hands and tried to stick his finger in the pan. I frowned at him.
"I wish you would." I said,and he laughed.
"I wasn't gonna."
"It's done anyways. Marquan can you go get everyone?" I asked,and he winked at me,hopping down from the counter.
Chres leaned on the counter,and I leaned against it,nudging him a bit.
"So how does it feel?"
"What?"
"You know,being a father." I said,smiling.
"I don't know."
"You don't know?"
"I don't know how I feel,yet."
"Well isn't this what you wanted?" I asked.
"Not at all. I think this is just moving too fast."
"Yea."
"What about you? You happy with your little boyfriend?" He asked,standing up and leaning beside me on the counter.
"Yea,he's pretty nice." I said,smiling a bit.
"Seems just like yesterday I was giving you a pep talk about him breaking your heart. Sorry,this just doesn't sit well with me." He said honestly,shrugging.
"Yea,well it aint like I planned on being with him. It just happened." I said.
"Just like me and Zendaya." He said.
"Exactly."
He looked at me a second.
"What?" I said,looking at him weirdly.
"Nothing ... Just glad you're back." He said,smiling a bit and pulling me into a hug.
"Awww. Well let me go cause you smell like Doritos." I said,and he pulled away,giving me a blank face.
I smiled innocently. "Still love you though."
I smirked a little before walking off. I heard him whistle behind me,and I flipped him off,smiling to myself.
"I want tacos!" I heard Shad scream,running into the kitchen.
"Boy,you're just like your daddy." I said,scooping him up and sitting him at the table. I made him two tacos and bought them out to him.
"Tete,why you keep looking at me?" He asked.
"I cant look at you now?" I asked.
"No!" He screamed,laughing.
"Fine then." I said,closing my eyes and smiling a bit.
"Open your eyes!" He screamed.
"But you just said I couldn't look at you!" I said.
"Hmm... I changed my mind." He said,giggling.
"Child,you are making a mess." I said,handing him a napkin. He gave me a big smile before taking another big bite out of his taco.
