In Love With a Thug✔️

Chapter 3

~1 month later~

Waking up, I look at the time and groan. The only thing that is getting me out of bed is the fact that it is Friday and me and Malique have a date tonight. He hasn't asked me to be his girl yet, but I'm honestly okay with that, being as though I still don't know too much about him. Like why his siblings don't live with him... his birthday, favorite food, what he does for a living, nothing.

But I mean we've only been talking for a month. I can't expect him to open up to me after only a month of us talking every day I guess.

My mom and my sisters have yet to meet him also. I told him that my mom wanted to meet him, and he didn't really acknowledge it, just shrugged it off. It may have made him uncomfortable considering the fact that we aren't anything serious. I know had rolls had been switched I would have been uncomfortable.

In the month of us hanging out I've learned that he is a bit of a hot head. He gets ridiculously mad when we are together and someone calls him. He's also very possessive, even though we are not together.

Caleb has been trying to get me to go on a date with him, which is so confusing. How do you keep going after a girl after being turned down repeatedly? Caleb only tries to talk to me during lunch, or after school, so I'm always saved by Malique coming to get me.

Getting out of the shower I go back into my room to put on a pair of jeans and the hoodie I stole from Malique. Grabbing my backpack I go into Lisa's and Mariah's room to wake them up to get ready for school. My phone going off grabs my attention. Already knowing who it was, I pull out my phone and make my way down the stairs.

Malique: Good Morning mamas, bring yo sexy self out here.

Smiling at the text I walk outside and there he is, outside of the car waiting on me. I walk over to him and give him a hug wrapping my arms around his neck and his go around my waist.

Malqiue, always a gentleman, opens my door and goes to his side of the car to get in. "So I have an outfit for you tonight." we're going to a steakhouse and I was so excited when he asked me out on this date. I kept it cool obviously but on the inside, I was screaming. I am finally going to be able to get my first steak dinner and I wouldn't want it to be with anyone else... well maybe one other person but he's irrelevant now.

"You didn't have to buy me anything." I shimmy in my seat a little to get comfortable. "You're already taking me to dinner, a steak dinner at that." Malique seems to have a decent amount of money and I would like to know how he gets it but I don't think he's ready to share that information just yet. Maybe his parents are rich and send him money? I mean it would make sense right? That his parents are rich and he didn't want to live with them anymore. As well as with his siblings, so he moved and they respected his decision and now sends him money plus the money that he already gets with the job he won't tell me about. I mean just because I come from a little flunky background doesn't mean that he has to right?

"It's no big deal. I'll give it to you whenever I come and get you from school."

"Okay." I didn't even realize that this conversation took up the whole drive to school until I looked out the window and saw the schoolhouse.

"See you later mamas."

"See you Malique."

"So how's it going with dude?" Adrianna asked me, peaking Paytons interest as well.

"I mean..." I just shrug, I don't really have an answer. I haven't even told them Maliques name because nothing is really going on. "He's taking me out tonight."
