You Before Me [dave east]

Xiomara;

"Alonzo get out before you late for school," I say, brushing past him in the hallway as I put on my heels as I walk, trying to multitask before I'm late too.

"I'm out, I'm out." He says, heading for the door.

"Your school bag?" I call out after him, finding his school bag in the kitchen once I walk in to get something to eat before I leave for my job. He comes back and gets his school bag before finally leaving this time after I kiss his forehead.

"Bye, Toya!" He calls out heading for the door.

"Bye baby!" She says back.

I get my shoes on and look through the fridge for something quick to eat. I just finished getting ready for work and I'm wearing a silk blouse and some fitted pants.

"I already made you a smoothie." Toya tells me, pouring the drink into a glass for me from the blender.

"Ouu, thanks girl. Feel free to come over any time if I'ma be getting smoothies." I say, taking the cup from here. She laughs and walks into the living room as I drink up.

I put the glass in the sink once I'm done and grab a granola bar before heading out of the kitchen. I find Toya sitting on the couch with Junior eating some chips. "You look good by the way, girl." She tells me, flipping through networks on the TV.

"Free compliments too? You must want something." I say after she already made me the smoothie.

"Stop playing." She laughs.

I blow her a kiss before heading out, only to pause in my tracks when I see Latrelle coming up the front yard just as I was walking down. "Get the fuck away from me," I snap, pushing past him so I can get to Dave's car.

"I told you what was gon' happen if you kept playing with me." He says, holding open the door to the driver's seat as I was trying to close it. I was getting so heated just being around him right now. Thank god I didn't own a gun because I would've blasted this nigga by now and landed myself in jail.
