More to Love

Ty'Lyla's POV

I woke up the next day, really excited to go to school. Overjoyed honestly. That ride home with De'Mario made me feel some type of way about him. But I'm not going to get too comfortable about it. As far as I know he still a hoe. Can't trust him yet.

I stopped thinking about Mario and got up to do my hygiene thing. I put on some grey leggings, my black UGG boots with the bows in the back and a black shirt and my North Face jacket. I let my hair fall from its wrap and I started putting on makeup. There's not really anybody to impress at that school plus it's a little chilly outside. After I got done getting myself ready I headed downstairs noticing my dad wasn't down there like usual.

"Daddy!" I waited for a response but nothing. I kinda started to panic, so I called his phone. Straight to voicemail. I ran back upstairs to his room and busted through the door and saw a note.

'Hey baby girl. I meant to tell you last night when I got home from my date I had a business trip to go to early in the morning so I won't be there in to watch you get on the bus. LOL. So don't panic if I don't answer the phone, it'll be on airplane mode cause I'm flying to Toronto. I'll be back Sunday night. I left 500 in the drawer. Don't spend it on no bs girl. That should last you a whole weekend. You can have a few friends over but not no nappy headed ass boys. NO PARTIES. I love you, I call you when I land.
Daddy.'

I rolled my eyes as I relaxed, "Damn daddy, you always doing extra shit." I said aloud like he was really here. I checked my phone and saw it was 6:42.
"Oh shoot, I'm finna miss the bus!" And as soon as I got outside the bus was leaving the stop.

'Damn' I thought. I know I'm not gonna walk to school in this cold ass weather. I really need a car dude. Then I started to think about Mario again. I called his phone. It rang three times and he picked up, "Wassup Tootsie?" I rolled my eyes at the nickname.

"Can you come pick me up? Missed the bus." I asked him. He started to laugh at me. "What's so funny?"

"You still riding the bus baby? You needa upgrade. You too old for it," still laughing at me.

"Boy if you don't get yo black ass down here to take me to school! Can't be late on my second day."

"I'm around the corner girl dang. Come outside." He hung up the phone. I looked at the phone in disbelief. I know this fool just didn't hang up in my face. He about to get chewed out. I saw his car pull up at my house and I made my way to his car and got in and that's when I started ham on his ass.

"Yo punk ass don't hang up on my face anymore. You know how disrespectful that is? You coulda just simply said bye at the end and-"

"Ty shut up. It's too damn early for that nagging shit." He said. I just glared at him and turned towards to the window. It was silent the whole way to school. When we pulled up and parked I turned towards him and said thank you for the ride.

He licked his sexy lips," You oh so welcome ma. But how'd you miss the bus?"

"I thought something happened to my daddy and I was too focused on the situation and lost track of time. But he was just out of town." As I was speaking I could of sworn there was something in De'Mario's eyes. Lust? Desire? I don't know, maybe I was tripping.

"So yo daddy gone huh? For how long?"

"Just the weekend."

He smirked,"Ima come over tonight."

I turned up my nose,"Who invited you? Only people coming over is my girls. And as the looks of it, you're not one of my girls."

"Toots, I'm coming over. I just wanna chill with you. I'm not gone rape you chill," he said rolling his eyes. I pushed him and said whatever. We got out the car and and went our different ways.
