Aaliyah POV

"You alright Lili?" Eric sincerely asked me.

I just gave him a quick shrug while I wiped under my eyes.

Eric gripped the steering wheel and turned to me.

"She ain't even nothing to be crying over. This shows she was jealous of you the whole time...probably Sierra too."

As we stopped at a red light, E quickly picked up his phone. I was trying to figure out what he was doing because Eric never texts and drives.

In an instant Cut Her Off by K Camp blasted through the car speakers.

Busting out in laughter, I slapped his chest.

He could never take anything serious even if his life depended on it.

Not even a minute later, City Girls I'll Take Your Man started blasting.

"Let me tell you 'bout this hater from around my hood"

"Kept trying a bitch like my pussy ain't good"

"See this bitch ain't like me and I don't know why"

"But I'ma give her a reason when I take her guy"

"You don't want smoke, baby, please believe me"

"Cause I'm that bitch and your nigga looking easy"

"Touch me, taste me, fuck me, squeeze me!"

When I tell you this man knew all the words.

Turning down the music, I asked him, "How you know about that?"

"All the times you've been blasting this song." He look at me with the most serious facial expression that made me bust into laughter. "How did you not expect me not to know the lyrics?"

"You a mess." I said as I shook my head.

We pulled into a corner store and I already knew how this was gonna go.

"Since I'm the bestest ever brother, could you go get me some hot fries and a Minute Maid?" He begged as he looked at me with a sad doggy face.

I hit the back of his head.

"Mannn I dislike you."

He pushed the unlock button and I looked at him with confusion all over my face because he didn't give me the money for his snacks.

I surely wasn't about to pay for it.

"What you looking at lil girl?" He asked with his eyebrows furrowed.

I simply held my hand out after I rolled my neck.

"You better be glad I love you." He responded while grabbing out his wallet and placing the money in my hand.

Making my way into the store, I went over to the slurpee section. I had a taste for something cold.

"Oh. So you out the house now?" I heard a familiar voice ask from behind me.
