Bleu

"can we like— not discuss him.. let's talk about something else." bleu said growing uncomfortable from talking about cory.

jaden agreed, he parted his full lips and brought the blunt to his mouth he held the lighter up to it and lit it up.

"how's ma doin?" he asked taking a puff from his pencil rolled blunt. He had been smoking and rolling blunts for a while now, he was not new to smoking nor rolling at all.

somehow— he passed every drug test that came his way.

"she's good, last i saw her was on hasjae birthday which was not so long ago... he's growing up so fast." she answered.

Time really did fly by, bleu remembered having to babysit hasjae and jaden being right there to help her. When bleu got paid her weekly allowance she would occasionally split the pay with jaden to thank him for his help.

Time was so stress free back then.

"oh i know it was his birthday, i had bought lil man a lil sum sum." jaden said while inhaling the smoke, he kept it in his cheeks for a lil minute before oozing it from his mouth.

bleu furrowed her eyebrows, "what did you buy him?" she chuckled. She wasn't surprised that jaden went ahead and bought hasjae something, jaden was very giving and tend to give his last at times— bleu would always talk some sense into him while they were best friends telling him not everyone deserved his kindness.

"some jordan's, 1's to be exact." jaden said, he eyed the blunt before placing it back up to his mouth.

"oh wow. that's a great gift, i can't believe you remembered... i just gave him $50 and angel gave him $200." she said looking away. "now i feel like a cheapskate."

"of course i remembered. And what? you're not a cheapskate at all... it's not a competition." he retorted.

"i guess, i definitely have to come harder for him next year though,"

"listen, you came hard this year. it was all you can do for now." he said. he gently grabbed her hand with his free hand , their fingers intertwined with one another.

bleu looked up at him and immediately let go of his hand. what was she doing? this was her second predicament where she was with a guy who she had no business sitting with alone.

But hey, she was grown.

cory

"finally in this bitch." rio said stretching while grabbing his suitcase from baggage claim.

Cory stood with his luggage and observed his surroundings. They were currently in the Fort Lauderdale airport.

"yeah, let's go i have to pick up the rental car."

cory followed the sign where it said rental car services all the way up until he saw "avis" with whom he purchased his rental with.

"damn this line long." rio complained while looking at his watch.

"i'm preferred, my last name somewhere on this board telling me where my car is." cory said scanning the digital board.
