Til Death Do Us Part (BOOK ONE)

P A R T 6

That night was the best night that Asia had in a while. Josh and Asia talked about everything. From they're favorite thing to do, to where they wanna travel in life, to they're goals.

Josh opens the door for Asia.

Asia gets out of the car. "Thank you sir", she says with a smile.

Josh shuts the door.

Zay is next door at a friends' house, sitting on the porch with his friends.

"Ay, Zay.. who that with Asia?", said his friend.

Zay looks at Asia and Josh.

Josh whispers something in Asia's ear and Asia giggles.

Zay responses and says, "I don't know".

"Oh shit. Asia done got her a nigga with some money", another friend said.

Zay in silence as his friend laughs.

"Bitch ain't finna be broke no more", said a friend.

"Don't call her bitch dawg", said Zay.

"Oh I forgot, that's yo homegirl. My bad", he said.

Zay gets up and walks over to Asia after Josh leaves. "Asia", he called.

Asia turns around. "What's up, Zay", she said with a smile.

"Damn... you look happy", he said.

"What? I shouldn't be?", she asked. "I'm suppose to be mad?".

"Nah... just that .. well never mind. Who ole boy is?", he asked.

"Jealous?", she asked

"Nah", he answered. "He just look mighty familiar. I just wanna make sure you in the right hands that's all".

Asia stops smiles. "Zay please stay out of my business", she says as she turns around and walks to the door.

Zay makes a face and get a bit upset. "Wait, what the fuck?" He begins to walk toward her. "I can't look out for my homegirl?"

Asia turns around and looks at him. "Let's be real Zay, you've been tryna get with me for how long now? You'd say anything to make me double think about any nigga!"

Zay nods. "Bet", he said. "Ain't gone say shit about him no more. Matter fact I ain't gone say shit to you no more. If that nigga is wrong for you, don't cry when he fucks you over". He starts walking away and then suddenly turns around, "matter of fact, I want an apology when he does". He walks away.

Asia stands in silence and then shakes her head and walks in the house after she unlocks the door.

"Hey girl! How was your date?", Jayla asked.

"It wasn't - ", Asia began to say before she was interrupted.

"A date", Jayla finished her sentence. "Whatever you say. But how was it?"

Asia chuckles and says, "it was cool. We're going out again next weekend"

"Awww my best friend dating again. Just make sure you stay woke", she said.

Asia's eyebrows raises and says, "don't worry, I will".
