The Hood Girl

Birthday

Lakira's Pov-
I woke up smiling. Officially 18. I'm ready for the day. I got out of bed and showered. After I got out, I brushed my teeth and got dressed in my birthday outfit.

I painted over my blue nails with white and slipped on vans.

After finishing, I posted a picture on Snapchat.

I heard my mom talking to Joey. I walked down the stairs and smiled when I saw him. He had a McDonald's bag.

Joey: Goodmorning and Happy birthday beautiful. I got you breakfast
Lakira: Thank you baby

I hugged him tight.

Mom: Finally 18. My baby is so grown up
Lakira: I know right? I'm officially an adult
Joey: And I'm still 17
Lakira: Dont worry bae next month we'll both be 18

I laughed. We left and got in Joey's car. He drove us to school while eating the breakfast.

My day went on with birthday wishes and occasional hugs and gifts. A really good day.

After school we all went out to eat at In n out burger. Joey had the restaurant closed down just for us.

Lakira: Awww this is so great. My 18th is just amazing
Kara: Ugh I cant believe you're 18 though
Aaron: Right?
Joey: Just think about it. When we first met her, she was the girl that shot a guy's fingers off and now she's my girlfriend
Kara: My best friend
Aaron: And my best friend too
Lakira: We've been through a lot
Joey: Yeah. Like that pregnancy scare
Lakira: Me getting out the gang
Kara: Aaron almost dying at the beach
Aaron: Joey getting his foot stuck in a bucket for 6 hours

We all laughed and talked about our good times and bad times. Sitting there with them made me feel so comfortable. With Joey by my side I felt so on top of things. As if nothing could fuck with me. I felt powerful.

After dinner, we all went back to Kara's. I wore a one piece Kara got me. It was black and had slits all through it.

Joey hated it since it showed a lot and Gabriel's here. I wasn't gonna let that stop me from wearing what I wanted.

Once I got the bathing suit on, we all got in the pool. I swam towards Joey and wrapped my legs around his waist.

Aaron: So how does it feel to be an adult dating a minor?
Kara: Aaron!
Lakira: Yeah, Aaron!
Joey: I am 17 so technically, let's be honest, you're a pervert.
Lakira: Then let go of me
Gabriel: Yeah let go of her. I mean I'm 18 if you need an adult
Joey: I'm your dreams Gabey boy
Kara: Dude stop being such a creep
Gabriel: I like black girls what do you expect?
Lakira: I respect your lust for the chocolate but chill out

We swam for a little decided to go ahead and watch the movie.

Kara: Okay Lakira I got us matching jammies!
Lakira: Lemme see
Kara: Look!

Lakira: bitch... I love this
Joey: Same here
Gabe: Ditto

Joey was so fixated on me that he ignored Gabe. We chose our spots in the screening room and waited for the movie to start.

Joey: Yo what are we watching?
Kara: Lakira's most favorite horror movie ever
Lakira: the Exorcist? Oh my gosh I love you
Kara: I love you too

The movie started playing and we all got quiet.

Joey was on my right while Gabe was on my left. I guess we move around a bit because towards the end on the movie, I was spooning Joey and Gabriel was spooning me. I pushed him away, being careful not to wake him. I moved Joey on his back and got on top of him, sitting on his waist.

Lakira: Baby

I kissed his neck. He lightly moaned.

Lakira: Babe

I did it again. He moaned a little louder. I sighed and then slapped him. He woke up panicked.

Lakira: Oh my baby! Are you okay? What happened? Was it a nightmare?
Joey: Did you slap me?
Lakira: Yeah. We gotta go

Kara woke up and yawned.

Kara: We do have that survival kit and tomorrow is Saturday so just sleep over. You can take the guest room

Joey: Sure

We got up and headed to the guest room. We laid down and cuddled.

Joey: Do you still like me?
Lakira: Gee i don't know. I think these last 8 months have been kinda a waste
Joey: Seriously?
Lakira: No you dope. Go to sleep
Joey: Goodnight adult girlfriend
Lakira: Goodnight slightly younger boyfriend.
