A Bronx Tale

One.

Ja'lynn

I huffed as I tried to call Jakobi for the third time. Seconds later an all black charger pulled up. The passenger window rolled down.

"You just gone stand thea' or yo' ass gone get in?" Black asked.

I rolled my eyes but secretly my stomach was doing back flips. I've been crushing on Black since I was 15. He was Jakobi's right hand man and like his mentor growing up.

"Where's Kobi?" I asked getting in.

"Ion know, he just asked me to come get you. Where yo' car at?" he asked.

"In the shop" i answered.

He didn't reply. I watched as he lit a blunt.

"Nigga stop staring" he said.

"Boy wasn't nobody staring at you" i lied.

"Aight, Jay" he laughed.

"Bitch you think you just so cute" i said.

"Watch yo' words" he warned.

"Leave me alone, De'Andre" i said.

"Keep on little girl" he said.

"Yeah ok, De'Andre" i said.

He looked over at me giving me a look.

"I don't know how Kobi deal with yo' ass" he said.

"I don't either" i admitted.

"You want some out the store?" he asked as we pulled up to Circle K.

"Yessir, I'm coming in" i said.

I followed him into the gas station before going down the aisles grabbing my favorite snacks. I made me a slushee and went to check out.

"Damn you fine" some guy behind me said.

I turned seeing he was a cute little hood nigga.

"Shid, you cute too" i said.

"What you getting into tonight?" he asked.

"Nothing wit' yo ass" Black said coming to my side.

I rolled my eyes. He's a bigger cock block than Jakobi.

"Damn Black, that's you?" he asked.

"Yeah" Black answered.

I looked at him like he was crazy.

"Uh uh, this ain't that. If you wanna fuck wit' me you can" i said.

"Nah I'm good" the guy said.

My mouth dropped.

"I hate you" i told Black as he grabbed our bags.

"I hate you too" he said.

"Why are we watching this weird ass shit?" Jakobi asked.

"It's Stranger Things" i said.

"Turn it off" he said.

"Turn it off" i mocked.

He snatched the remote from me.

"Jakobiiii" i pouted.

"Man I ain't watching that shit" he said.

"Can i go to New Orleans with y'all?" I asked.

"Nope" he answered.

"Jakobiiiii" i repeated.
