"Thats enough for tonight." Zaria took away the Hennessey bottle that Taliah was drinking from. She burped and pouted. "Girl im thirsty." She slurred.
"How about some water?" Zaria suggested and Taliah stale faced me and i raised an eyebrow. "Don't be stupid." She got up off the bed and walked into the bathroom.
"Drinking isn't gonna solve your problems or make them go away." Zaria told Taliah who rolled her eyes. Taliah dated this guy for about two years. Taliah found out he had been cheating on her for a year and a half with some asian chick.
Zaria found her friend in a alleyway of Harlem drinking Tequila and conversing with eight men who were no doubt gonna run a train on her.
When Zaria finally got Taliah home she started drinking more alcohol. "Y'know what? Lets head to a nearby gas station." Taliah hiccuped.
Zaria looked up at her from her phone and shook her head. "T, your drunk. Your not about to walk them streets like that." Zaria told her but as usual Taliah ain't listen.
"Well we both know i ain't finna listen to that so you can come with me or stay either way im goin." Groaning Zaria put on some shoes.
Zaria and Taliah had been best friends since she was 15 when she moved to Harlem New York with her father. Her father and Zaria has been struggling for a while now even though she no longer lives with him.
Every now and then his lights get shut off so Zaria has to get the little money she does have and give it to her father so he can get food and turn the lights back on. Zaria wanted to open her Hair Salon but when she opened the box that contained her $23,987 was empty.
Her mothet took the money out the box and spent it on herself. Zaria hadn't known that until she was 23 years old and since then she hasn't had enough money to open the salon.
She does get hair appointments from her friends and other people she knows but its never enough, especially considering she takes care of her father.
When Taliah finally got her shoes on she stumbled into the streets of Harlem. Zaria is quiet but she's not shy. She's tougher now since she never was babied as a child and had to learn how to defend herself.
She's well known in the streets and everyone knows not to fuck with her or what's hers unless they want a bullet up they ass. Zaria will hurt anyone who hurts her family and friends.
After a ton of stumbling and falling from Taliah they finally made it to the store. Taliah grabbed mulitple bags of chips not even knowing what she was grabbing but she aint care anyway.
The first thing Zaria saw was a group of guys outside the store laughing and shit. Zaria made sure she was strapped in case any of them decided to make a move. One dude was dreads called out to her. "Ay yo Z!" He called and Zaria watched the dreadhead walk into the store and towards Zaria.
Instantly her bitch face was applied. "What?" She asked rough. The dread head chuckled but Zaria saw nothing amusing. "You Z right?" He asked and Zaria nodded.
The dread head licked his lips and Zaria grew impatient. "Jus wanted to know if-"
"Yo Javon! Stop tryna get pussy and bring yo ass on!" One of his friends yelled. The guy, Javon sucked his teeth before walkin off. Sighing in annoyance Zaria went off to find Taliah with a armfull of chips and three bottles of soda.
Zaria took everything from her and paid for it with the money Taliah had. When they walked outside the guys were gon except for dread head and the dude that called out to him.
"Where you headin mamas?" One guy asked makin Taliah and Zaria stop in their tracks. "A place called home." Zaria said smartly.
The guy laughed and walked up to them. "You gotta car smart ass?" He asked and Zaria mugged him. Taliah stood there eatin from a bag of chips feeling amused. "No. Bye." Zaria said and they started walkin away but the guy grabbed Zaria's arm causing her to tense up.
