Love Between The Lines

5

"Why y'all looking pissed?" Bassim and Grayson asks and we shake our heads.

"Let's go I don't want them painting shit for me." I tell Bassim and walk away.

"Baby let's go, you know I heard everything that ugly hoe said." Gray says and kisses Tiara in front of the bitch.

We leave and go to a better paint store and they do it for a better price too, because hoes really out they mind today. They always wanna act tough 'til they get slapped and then they always so sorry. And they always give out them fake ass apologies, like somebody give a fuck about them cryiung. I swear if I wasn't on my big girl shit today and trying to handle important shit, they would've been pimp slapped.

We leave and go to IKEA. Me and Bestfriend start off decorating together but we start having a competition because we decorate so different. My kitchen stuff is black and red with gold accents, and hers is red and silver with light pink accents. She wants a light pink/dark red living room, and I want a red/black living room. Me and Bassim decided on having red and brown for Matias room and red and silver for our room. Adalise's room has light pink and white for her room and Gray and Tiara has red and black for their room.

"Bestfriend my bubba wasn't no help." Tiara keep complaining when we walking through IKEA.

"He was watching my niece, leave him alone." I tell her laughing.

"She taking MY attention, and she loving it." She stare at Gray and Adalise before going over to them and hugging them both. It's so cute how they just all got so much happier being around eachother, I HAD to take a picture.

We go to their house and we help them pack their clothes and shit for our new houses. We're all joking and Gray just left with Adalise to get us some Five Guy, and my phone just goes off.

"Hey, yeah, ok, I'll tell her." Lafy says and then he hangs up. "Some nigga was saying you fine and when you letting him fuck again." He tells me.

"Little boy, you doing too much." I tell him before snatching my phone.

"Polpetto, what was it for real?" Bassim asks me and Tiara laughs, "Why'd you call her a meatball?"

I run around the living room chasing this big headed nigga. I swear he play too damn much, but when I call him a bitch he get mad. I stop running when a good idea get in my head.

"I'm buying two buildings, one for a boutique and one to make clothes bitch." I tell him and he stares me down with daddi eyes.

"Did he see about the restaurant stuff?" Tiara asks and I shrug my shoulders before calling my Uncle Jaxon.

My dad has 2 brothers one is business successful and the other one is hood successful. Not gonna lie, Uncle Jaxon's my favorite, he's the business one. All of the famiy still looks out for me and Tiara but me and Uncle Jax just connect better, like I'll tell him some stuff that almost nobody else knows and I'll get good advice and he won't tell anyone.

He knows a lot of people selling business buildings and he knew it was my dream to have fashion as a side hustle and I texted him as soon as I got the money. He's been keeping his eye open for buildings at good spots, and he just found a spot downtown which is always good, and it's right by Nike town.

The other building's in Southfield, and it has five big offices on the top floor, two workshop spaces under that, and a place for everything to be sewn in the basement. Before we got this money, he was going to go half with my dad for the one in Southfield for my 18th birthday, but I wanna do it without anyone paying for it, I really just want to always be able to say it's mine.

Bassim runs over right when my Uncle tells me where to go to give them the money for it. I swear I've never seen this boy move that fast and it's just to hang up my phone. "Now about that bitch word." He tells me while choking me at the same time.

Tiara starts throwing the couch pillows at us while the boys close their eyes.

"You know what-- you helping me in my room." Is all i hear from Bassim when he drags me to his room.

"I didn't mean it for real. I was just saying shit." I tell Bassim but I stay backing up away froim him.

See, the problem is Bassim ass is faster than me, he hates running but when he does... he catching EVERYBODY. But if I get him away from that damn door, then I got half of a chance.

"Nah, your ass ain't slick." He says all dark.

"And you ain't shit." I tell him but I try taking that back. I don't need him trying to kill me. And I definitely need my legs.

"You know what--" This bum takes a picture of me, "I'm making a album and I'm gonna have a sexy pic or some for every time you do dumb shit like this."

He starts folding his clothes, and I storm off in the living room. Yes I want little Sim but I still need my legs. He could've just made me not walk at the point with his irritating ass. He lucky I know if I smack him I might be dead, so all he gets is a lot of attitude.

"So you tough now? You got guts 'cause he ain't in this room?" Tiara asks with a LOT of laughing.

"Girl yes, I been tough, he don't run me." Snapping my fingers like the hood rats that try to hit on Bassim and Gray.

"Yeah, ok, acting like Lala and Ray." She says and we joke around until we see Gray and Bassim standing over us. Gray just looks ugly but Bassim looks like a complete daddy.

"Y'all know y'all in some shit right?" They ask us deep and chuckling like they crazy.

Sim is pronounced (Seem). Just realized how that looked. And can't wait for all these good things to come to an end.
