No Matter What

Lost Time

Liyah POV

THREE WEEKS LATER.

I'm just getting in the house from hanging out with Devin. We're together all the time I haven't seen Toni in about a week Imma have to call her later. I walked in and saw my mom sitting in the living room on the couch.

"Well someone's home for once."  My mom said looking at me.

"Hi ma."

"What you been up to?"

"Just hanging out with my friend."

"And that would be?"

Ugh I did not want to have boy talk with my mom.

"His name is Devin."

"How do you know him?"

"I met him at that party Toni and I went to."

"Oh is he cute?"

"Ma!" I said laughing.

"What, its a yes or no question."

"Yes he's very cute."

"Ooh so she said he's very cute, I'm gonna have to meet this young man."

"Ma it's not even that serious."

"Mhm I bet. Look I know I haven't been home lately because of work and I feel bad."

"It's fine, you have to do what you have to do."

"I know but I just feel like I've been putting work before you and I wanna make it up to you. Let's go get our nails done and go out to eat."

"When?"

"We can go now of you want."

"Okay." My mother and I talked and joked.

"So do you really like Devin?" My mom asked as the lady was doing the design on my nails.

I could feel the heat rushing to my cheeks.

"I mean I guess."

"Mhm, that's not what your cheeks say."

All I could do was laugh. After we finished getting our nails done we went to Red Robin. We talked and caught up on a lot. It was really fun, I can say I miss doing this with my mom.

Toni POV

I really feel like I'm stuck. I mean Derrick is cool and everything but Dre is just something else. I really like him. So I guess I'm not really stuck I just need to get it together. Right now we were at my house just watching tv and joking around.

"You remember when I asked for your number and you said that you were talking to somebody?" Dre asked looking at me.

"Yeah."

"You still talk to him?"

"Not really. Derrick wasn't all-

"Derrick who?" He asked cutting me off and sitting up.

"Derrick Gray, why?"

"You were talking to him? Why?"

"I thought he was cute."

"Don't you Derrick is a drug dealer?"

Now I was sitting up. "No!"

"You don't need to be talking to him."

"I really didn't know." Now that I thought about it, it did make sense.

"I know, Toni Montana just make sure you be careful okay."

I nodded my head.

"You know my lip still hurts." He said smirking at me.

"No it doesn't you faker it's already healed."

"But it hurts internally."

I had to laugh. He's been trying to use the excuse that his lip hurts to get me to kiss him again.

"Please?" He started pouting.

"Okay I'll do it but you have to say Toni I want your beautiful, luscious, plump lips to kiss me."

He gave a look. "Seriously?"

I folded my arms. "I'm waiting."

He smacked his lips. "Toni I want your beautiful, luscious, plump lips to kiss me. You happy now?"

"Yup." With that being said I leaned over to kiss him but this time it was more than a peck. Damn this boy can kiss. I don't know how long this was gonna last but I was loving it. We were snapped out of our kiss by his phone ringing. He sighed and saw it was his mom. I heard somebody crying in the background.

"I gotta go but Imma call you later." He said getting up.

"Okay."  He leaned down and kissed me again before he left. Damn I need to call Liyah.

Toni and Dre in the MM.
