Merlin pov~
I was sleeping peacefully with my girl and somebody started honking their car horn.
"Who is that outside?" Michelle asked
"I don't know, but I'm about to find out"
"Me too" Michelle got up.
I opened the front door and stepped out.
"Hey cousin" Charlotte stepped out the car.
"Wassup" I ran towards her smiling.
"How you been?" she asked
"I'm good, how's Texas?"
"That's why I'm here, I moved back to Detroit" she smiled.
"Really, how long you been up here" I said surprise.
"About a week ago" she answered
I thumped her forehead with my finger.
"Ouch!" She held her forehead.
"Why you ain't tell me you was in Detroit, I could've helped you unload"
"I'm rich Merlin, you don't have to unload anything" she smiled.
She looked over at Michelle and back at me.
"Who's that?" she smiled
"That's my new girlfriend" I smiled at Michelle.
"You finally moved on from Aaliyah, about time" Charlotte said
"Me and her been dating for 3 months, I been over Aaliyah since she cheated. You only get one chance with Merlin Santana"
"Okay, Santana help me get your gifts on the trunk"
"My favorite cousin got me some gifts" I smirked.
"Favorite cousin? I thought Antwon was your favorite cousin?" She questioned
"Nawl you been like a sister since we were kids" I said.
"Good, cause I need to stay here for a week or two, they working on my house a couple blocks from here"
"You can stay cousin. Come on let me show you your room"
We walked in the house and I grabbed Michelle hand.
"Charlotte this is my girlfriend Michelle, Michelle this is my cousin Charlotte"
"Hello" Charlotte greeted.
"Nice to meet you" Michelle smiled.
"You look a little familiar, do you have a sister by the name of Kellie?" Charlotte asked
"Yea she's my sister" Michelle answered.
"Really, she was my best friend in middle school"
"Wait! they use to call you Charlie in middle school?" Michelle asked
"YESSS! That's what they use to call me" Charlotte smiled.
"Merlin, she use to go to school with us" Charlotte smiled.
"That's crazy" I replied
"Do you have any pictures of you in middle school?" she asked me.
"Yeah" I walked to my drawer and searched.
