Chapter 3

"What about him?" I questioned while turning to her. He was cute but he clearly was into the wrong things and I experienced it first hand at the party.

"Yall cute or whatever." She winked and I just playfully smacked her on her shoulder.

"I barely know him." I said as I rolled my eyes.

"That don't matter. It'll change soon." She said almost promising. I just ignored it as we walked into Pink. They had the get 10 panties for $32 so we quickly took advantage of that deal. We bought them then went to the other side for Victoria Secret. We grabbed some bras and I found a swimsuit that was a pastel pink and a mint green ombre. We went to a couple more stores before meeting up with Jay and Malik.

"Hey!" We said as we sat down next to them in the food court putting all our bags on the ground.

"Did yall buy enough?" Jay laughed looking at all the bags.

"Could've bought more." I shrugged while looking at Asia. Malik and Jay just laughed to each other.

"Soooo I'm hungry." Asia said looking around at all the food places.

"I don't wanna eat here." I whined knowing the places were nasty. She just sighed and started thinking of other places.

"I lowkey want Ihop." She laughed

"Yeah that sounds good!" I said as we started to pick up our bags.

" Yall coming?" Asia asked and they just groaned before following us.

We obviously drove separately and decided to just meet up there but they got a head start. I looked at Asia and she was fixing her makeup.

"You always doing something." I laughed suggesting that she's extra.

"I gotta look cute for my man." She said as she swiped some powder on her T-zones. She was putting on mascara and I saw a perfect pothole so I "accidentally" hit it making the mascara go all on her skin and eyebrows.

"Bitch what the fuck." She yelled looking at me. She looked like a clown and I couldn't help but laugh.

"Damnnnn you lookin realllll cute for your man now." I laughed and she just gave me a glare while trying to fix it.

The rest of the ride was quiet besides her cussing and me singing. I was kinda excited to be meeting up with Malik but I was trying to push the feelings away.

We pulled up and Asia was finally happy again either because of Jay or food... or both. We walked in and they already had a booth in the back close to the kitchen. They both got up so me and Asia sat in the inside making me sit next to Malik then we immediately started talking about food.

"I'm getting the split decision." I immediately said without even looking at the menu. They all looked at me and laughed.

"Whatttt? This is my favorite place." I giggled while Asia just agreed with me.

"I'm getting the cupcake pancakes." Asia said matter of factly while setting the menu down. The guys just said they wanted burgers.

"It's a breakfast place." I said straight facing them.
"You can literally go anywhere to get a basic ass burger."

"Exactly who comes to a breakfast restaurant just to get a burger." Asia said as she started to laugh.

"Fine I'll get the same thing as you Celi." Malik said pouting. The way he said my name made me happy inside but let me stop.

"I'm still getting a basic ass burger." Jay shrugged putting the menu down.

"Basic ass nigga." I said under my breath.

"Yall more basic trying to order pancakes and shit." Making us all laugh.
Shortly after our waiter came to the table to take our orders and get us drinks. She looked at Jay and Malik the whole time ignoring us. They only thing that bothered me was that Malik was returning the looks. It wasn't my place to get mad but Asia wasn't thinking the same thing.

"When you're taking my order look at me not at someone that clearly isn't paying any attention to you." She snapped while glaring at her. She glanced at us then back to them.

"Can I get you guys anything else." She asked twirling her hair and chopping on her gum. Across from me I could see Asia calmly taking off her jewelry and setting it to the side. She was sitting on the inside and she wouldn't hesitate to jump over Jay and fight her. So I decided to save her cause I knew Asia was gonna fuck her up.

"You might wanna move around cause her ass is crazy and will fight you before you can even say another word to them." I said pausing to see her reaction.
"And if you hit her back you getting jumped so like I said move around." I said finally getting her attention she finished taking our orders and walked away.

"Asia you always trying to fight someone." I said sucking my teeth.

"But that hoe was clearly trying me so that would've been her fault." She shrugged putting her jewelry back on.

"Yall crazy." Jay said then started laughing and she just rolled her eyes.

"She was asking for it." She whined but we all knew the hoe was so we didn't disagree.

We sat while waiting for our food and we were talking about how many fights Asia has been in and how many she made me get in. Malik's leg brushed against mine and it made me heart jump but I quickly ignored it.

We were all joking around then the hoe came back to the table quietly while setting our food in front of us purposely mixing up me and Asia's. She let it go and we started eating without conversation.

"Okay so copying you was a good idea." Malik said after eating it all.

"I know I get the good shit." I said shrugging after eating the last piece of bacon he just chuckled.

As we finished eating a bunch of guys and girls walked in and I could tell the guys were on the watch out. It got tense and Malik's hand immediately went to his hip. My eyes got wide once I realized why...his gun. They walked past and Jay and Malik stared at them while they stared at us. One guy caught my attention and winked at me and I'm assuming Malik saw it too cause he got even more tense. They walked past and sat down at another booth.

After they sat down, Malik got a little more relaxed but still didn't move his hand from his hip.

"Let's get out of here before I shoot this place up." Malik joked just making me and Asia nervously laugh. I was gonna pay for my own but Malik insisted on paying for everyone's and after a debate I let him.

While we were leaving one of the guys said something at the other table and it immediately made Malik turn around.

"Bro chill out they not worth it." Jay said walking in front of him Malik just walked passed him and kept going. I figured that I had to do something so I quickly ran in front of him making him stop. He was staring hard as fuck at them but he allowed me to push him back.

"Cmon don't trip." I said slowly pushing him out the door. After they were out of his sight he finally looked away from them and looked at me instead. I quickly took my hands off his chest and just looked everywhere but at him.

"Yo we gotta leave. My babymomma trippin." Jay sighed while giving Asia a hug and kiss. I finally looked up at Malik and he smirked.

"I'll see you again." He stated while backing up and I just nodded. We went our separate ways and I could tell Asia was excited to ask about me and Malik again.

"Soooo you guys are really cute together." She said right away as soon as we got in the car. I just rolled my eyes at her.

"I'm serious! You really calmed him down and shit when he was about to pop off." She said smiling at me.

"I just don't know. I'm trying to get my life together and I can tell that he's into the wrong things and I don't wanna be affected by it." I sighed.

"Yeah I feel you." She said remembering the things that I've gone through.
