Kareem Gaines

It seem like everyday another one of my homies dying in Chicago. When they gon realize that fast life ain't sweet...

"Yo, Reem getcha ass down here" King yelled.
I finished getting dressed and dismissed my previous thoughts.
As I walked down the stairs King was dropping his keys.
"Lil Jayvo really gone bra" I said plugging my phone into the charger.
"That's crazy"
" i don't think ima ever go back up there honestly" i said reminiscing about my younger days
"honestly bro i don't blame you"
My phone started ringing cutting our conversation short
"Who that is ? yo girlfriend Bria ?" King said tryna be annoying
i gave him a side eye and walked to my room.
"wassup mamas" i said looking into my phone
"girlfriend is crazyyy" Bria said dragging out her words like always.
"mane i don't know why you playing right now" i said making her smile ear to ear just confirming she right where i want her.

I woke up to the sounds of laughing, i groaned reaching for my remote.
I forgot i was watching martin and fell asleep. I picked up my phone scrolling through my notifications

Mother
1 missed call & 1 voicemail

i decided to not open my phone at the moment and instead get up to stretch. (i don't know if y'all ever woke up with a charlie horse but that is the worst pain imaginable) after 10 minutes of stretching i listened to my mothers voicemail.
"Nina, i need you to call your brother and send him 200 dollars you don't have to worry about rent this month"
I rolled my eyes and let out a sigh, this is why i have to put me first. i didn't bother calling my older brother first, i just sent him the money and started my shower. I replied to my messages then hopped in.

My life is pretty good but it does have its stressors, sometimes i think i'm too young for the stress i endure. Comparing my lives to my friends lives doesn't help either and when i confide in them hearing "that's crazy my mom/sister/dad/brother would never" just makes me feel even more shittier so i feel like it's better for me to just go through it on my own until i can get out on my own.
Showers are like my safe space, they're peaceful and i feel as though they restore my energy.
After spending 30 minutes thinking, singing and scrubbing i got out and decided to call Nina back.

"hey pookie, what you doing" Nina said cheesing
"nothing much girl i just got out the shower what you doing" i said picking out my clothes for the day.
"oh nothing just wondering if you wanna go shopping with me in a few"
"and girl how we getting there?" being a grown senior with no car is kinda embarrassing but we're stacking right now car on the way!
"girl you love to play slow, call kareem ass!" and with that she hung up.
I let out a laugh and sent kareem a text to see if he was busy or not.
As i finished getting dressed i took a few mirror pictures and went downstairs to find something to eat.

incoming facetime call
bestiewestie ❤️

"Hello Kareem" i said setting my phone up on my countertop
"You good? fuck you talking like that for" he asked observing my background
I chuckled and explained to him i was just being funny, he gets so serious on me sometimes. we chatted about his plans for the day and i concluded he didn't have the time to pick me and Nina up to go shopping since he would be too busy with Bria.
"Alright stay safe, love you" i said before ending our call. I guess we'll have to do some online shopping instead. I packed my auntie purse up and started walking to her house, the trek was about 3 minutes since we lived in the same neighborhood & it was easy to cut through people's backyards.

"Fuck" i groaned as i entered Bria. She felt amazing i can't lie, made me consider making her a girlfriend.
I flipped her over to switch positions, her ass too fat to not get it from the back.
She kept trying to run which made me go harder, and making her cum harder.
Once we finished, I grabbed a towel to wipe her down as she laid there breathless.
"Thank you" she said weakly and i just chuckled.
"So... what are we doing Kareem?" she asked the same question every girl asks.
"We just vibing" i said to her as i say to every other girl. I could tell she didn't like that one as her face scrunched up and let out a little sigh.
"Kareem, i'm not someone to just vibe with, whatever the fuck that means"
I just walked off into the bathroom to clean myself off, and her she comes behind me.
"Just get dressed Bri, we finna go out" and with that she was cheesing ear to ear. I can't lie woman are truly confusing which is why i don't put much thought into them, just action.

I opened her car door for her once we arrived to Zeke's Kitchen and Bar. It's a Haitian restaurant I've been wanting to try for some time now.
When we walked in, the host greeted us with a smile and turned her attention to Bria. Once their eyes met her smile faded as Bria said "Table for two" with a smile. I pick up on energies very well and could tell they know each other somehow but she doesn't look familiar to me. I shook it off and directed my attention back to Bria who was now walking throughout the restaurant behind the host.
Once we were seated i asked Bria
"How you feeling?" trying to see if I should be worried about any drama they may or may not have had.
"I'm great, excited to eat too. Have you been here" she said looking through the menu "Nah"

We made conversation throughout the date, she was actually a cool girl, a little ditzy though.
"Who has been blowing up your phone Kareem?" Bria questioned as I got a third notification. This actually annoyed me and I didn't hide it
"Don't ask questions you don't want the answer to Bria" i said checking unlocking my phone. Instantly Bria snatched my phone from my hands.
"Hoe is you crazy?" i semi-yelled while trying to snatch it back.
She was scrolling with a string grip on it as well, she was starting to blow me forreal.
"Really Kareem?? Why THE FUCK do Oaklyn contact name have so many emojis and MY number not even saved" she said turning red. This bitch stressful.
I finally snatched my phone back from her and made up my mind to never speak to her again. The rest of the date was pretty silent because i never answered her questions, i have no explaining to do to a hoe who not mine. Especially not about Oaklyn, bitch met me with her did she expect her to be gone because we fucked ?

After paying for the food, i dropped her off to house and blocked her number.

The sun was setting at this point so I decided to call King to see what he needed for the party.
