Lyric's POV
* Next Day *
???: Lyric.
Me: Hmm.
???: Lyric.. wake up.
I groaned as I turned my body away from the person. I was starting to drift back to sleep until I felt fingers tap my forehead.
Me: Ugh. Who is it?
???: You know exactly who this is.
I groaned again, this time turning back to the voice. I slowly opened my eyes and was immediately blinded by a bright light.
Me: Oh shit!
I covered my eyes with my hands, only to see the red and blue squiggly lines moving in the darkness of my palms.
Me: Really Imani?
Imani: Sorry. I didn't know you were going to turn towards me.
She turned off the flashlight on her phone.
Me: Why were you shining a light at me anyways?
Imani: I was trying to see if you had any scars or anything. I need another reason to beat his ass.
Me: Found anything?
Imani: Naw.. not yet. You willing to get naked?
I rolled my eyes.
Me: How did you even get in?
Imani: The front door was unlocked.
Me: Was h-
Imani: Yeah. He was in the living room. All those Henny bottles gonna have him out till the evening.
I kissed my teeth.
Me: He needs to fall into a coma.
She placed her hand on her hip and raised her eyebrow.
Imani: What drug was it this time?
Me: Xan.
I watched as she shook her head.
Imani: He does new drugs like he's trying new food. Forget about me planning to kill him, he'll kill hisself before I can get to him.
I let out a little laugh as I laid up in the bed, rubbing my eyes.
Imani: (Fake surprise) She laughs?!
Me: (Laughing) Shut up!
She giggled as she walked towards my closet and opened it.
Imani: Let's see..
She took out black ripped shorts , a plain white crop top, and my black and white Vans and put them next to the bed.
Imani: Now get ready. We're going to the mall.
Me: At 11:30 in the morning?
She moved her other hand to her hip and gave me the "Really" face.
Imani: It's 3:45 in the afternoon, hoe.
Me: Oh shit! I damn near slept the day away.
Imani: (Laughing) Just hurry up and get ready.
I put my thumbs up and smiled at her before running into the bathroom to start my morning routine.
*35 minutes later*
I had just finished putting my hair in 2 braids when we arrived to Bluegrass mall. I applied some clear lip gloss on my lips as I waited for Imani to finish applying mascara on her lashes.
