"So your telling me , that you wanna change your mind because Ms. Lena told you it was about time. How did she even figure it out?"


Lennox has been yelling at me for twenty minutes straight about everything that has to do with the date. Don't wear those shoes , Don't you dare wear sweats, don't don't don't. My head is about to explode.


"Because this has been the first time I've brushed my hair since I moved here three years ago." Which was true plus she had seen him walking up the stairs when he dropped off India. I'm just glad she didn't say anything to him.


"Awww, you brushed your hair for him. Y'all are gonna be the cutest thing since Pam and Tommy."


"Why not Martin and Gina ?"


" You too bitter to be Gina." She said making the L shape with her fingers and pressing them up to her forehead.


"I'm gonna slap you when I see you right in your small ass face"


"Why you always so mad ,smile sis. Hating not gone get you nowhere."


"It's gone get you backhanded, big dot."


The night after I decided to let Lennox give V my number. He face timed me and told me that if I flaked that he would be waiting outside my apartment singing at the top of his lungs and disrupting everybody in the diner until i was dressed and ready to come outside.


Ding!


"Ou who texting you? I'm the only friend you got , the best too but that's for another day."


Rolling my eyes , I ignored her and went to go see who had texted me even though I hate to admit it she was my best and only friend. I've only known her for almost two weeks and she's done more for me then anybody I've ever known; except for Ms.Lena that's my roll dog, scrolling down to look at my notifications I look at the message with wide eyes putting Lennox on pause.


"Ummmmmmm!" She yelled from the other end obviously upset that I clicked off the call


"Keep your panties untwisted for a second Len."


Vincent : I'm coming over.Me: Um no your not.Vincent: I'm already on my way. I'm bringing food.Me: Fine but I'm not gonna be nice to you.Vincent: What ever you say mama. What y'all want?


"So who was it?" Lennox said smiling wide at me so close to the camera I could see the inside of her nose.


"Back up damn!" I said grabbing the phone off the mirror where it was sitting while I showed Lennox outfit Ideas. "and don't worry about me , I'm grown shorty."


"Your actually the short one but that's cool. I already know it was V."
