"Alright folks, we have begun our descent to LAX, where the current weather is Eighty-three degrees. We will be in the gate in about ten minutes, We'd like the flight attendants to prepare the cabin for arrival. And lastly, we want to thank you for flying with Delta airlines today" The male pilot said over the intercom.

I brushed the crumbs off my blanket then stuffed it in my carry-on.  The five and a half hour flight seem to zoom by. It felt like it was only five minutes ago I was on facetime with Jaleeyah and Kayden. I don't know if it was the blizzy I smoked or the edible I ate before coming to the airport but I glad it had me zooted enough to think that that much time went by fast.

"Ladies and gentlemen, as we start our descent, please make sure your seat backs and tray tables are in their full upright position. Make sure your seat belt is securely fastened and all carry-on luggage is stowed underneath the seat in front of you or in the overhead bins. Thank you" The pretty flight attendant said following up the pilot.

The sound of seat belts clicking echoed through the plane as we did as we were told. The plane dipped down a bit and headed to land. I gripped the seat and closed my eyes. This that shit I hate I thought.

A group of us stalked down the terminal as soon as we were cleared to go. I watched as people reunited with their family and loved ones. I smiled to myself as I dragged my luggage to Enterprise.

I tried to hold on to the heavy glass door so it wouldn't make a loud thud. The atmosphere in the rental car place was definitely chill. Nobody was in plain sight but I knew somebody had to be here because the doors were open and music was playing softly in the background.

"Everybody rock with me because I'm up now, took your girl and I'ma score like I made a touchdown" My attention was brought to a tall brown skin guy. I was staring all in his face and he couldn't even tell. His skin was a beautiful toffee color, his low eyes told me he was high as fuck.

"Ohhh this my shit" He exclaimed. I watched him tap on his apple watch before the song changed. ZeZe by Kodak Black started playing. I smirked, this was my shit too I thought.

"Excuse me" I finally said. His head was still in his apple watch.

I cleared my throat and said the same thing a little louder. Still nothing.

"Ayo, my guy," I said damn near yelling.

"Ooh," He yelled while jumping. He finally looked at me with his hand held over his heart.

"I'm so sorry ma'am," He said turning the music off. The fact that he changed his whole tone had me dead.

"Naah, I know the real you. You already caught" I said laughing. He sat behind a desk and waved me over. "You don't gotta be fake with me," I said while walking over.

"Nah, I am sorry though. I was trying to argue through text on a damn apple watch" He said.

I looked up from my purse and busted out laughing. "Nah you're a clown," I said after I calmed down.

When I finally found my I.D and card I looked up to see him already looking at me. When we locked eyes he looked down and laughed a bit. Damn his teeth is beautiful I thought.

"Whaat" I asked

"Nothing, you were hella frantic trying to find that Card. Calm down we take apple pay now love" He teased.

"Wow,  now I feel crazy," I said laughing. "I haven't slept in like thirteen hours, cut me some slack" I continued.

"Nah you're cute so its cool," He said smoothly. He typed something in and looked at me. "So what type of car did you want to rent," He said
