" Y'all want to go to the park or the mall first?" Cedric says getting up off the couch. Activator drips down his neck and I instantly look at the spot where he was sitting to see it all over the couch. Thank god they still had their plastic over their couch.
Pam gets up from the couch to stand next to him, and she snakes her arms around his waist and leans her head on his shoulder. "Whatever you want to do baby." she smiles
" Pam we are not doing this today." He says roughly pushing her off of him.
" I love it when you get aggressive." She quickly grabs him by his collar and gives him a sloppy kiss.
It took him a good minute before he could finally get out of her tight grasp.
He wiped his mouth in disgust and backed away.Before she tried to grab him again he sat in between me and Dalvin so she couldn't sit next to him.
" Leave me alone damn. You always fucking with me."
" Why do you keep playing hard to get baby." She says getting a little angry.
" Pam!" Dalvin yells making her jump. " I don't even like the nigga but damn. Stop terrorizing him he don't want you."
" Fuck you." She says throwing up her middle finger.
" I would love to." He smirks.
She sits down at the further end of the couch and crosses her arms with an attitude.
" Her little attitude will be gone in minutes and she'll be back to chasing him in no time." Tisha whispers in my ear. " You'll get used to the nonsense though." She snickers.
" So this is an everyday thing huh?" I giggle.
"Pretty much." Tisha smiles while shaking her head.
" Put up one finger up if you want to go to the mall first or put up two fingers if you want to go to the park first." Marlon calls out.
Without hesitation I put up one finger then I look up to see what everyone voted on.
Everyone picked the mall except Shawn.
" Y'all always out voting me." He says frustrated.
" Better luck next time pal." I say patting his shoulder.
" Man whatever." He says snatching his shoulder away from me.
" We gone sit here all day or what?" Donald says getting up.
" forreal" Tisha agreed.

As we entered the mall, the first thing we all spot is the food court.
"I don't know about y'all .. but I'm a about to get some food." Cedric says talking with his hands.
"Obviously we about to get some food too fool. Do you think we all staring at the food court just for the fun of it." Dalvin says turning to Cedric.
"I done had it up to here with your big headed ass." Cedric says pointing his finger in Dalvin's face.
"What you wanna do about it." Dalvin says looking at him intently.
"Alright. That's enough." I say standing between them. " I don't know what y'all got going on here but what y'all not about to do is fight."
" You better be glad she saved you from an ass whopping." Cedric says walking away to get some food.
" He gets his jerri curls to start lookin halfway decent and he just don't know how to act."
Cedric stops walking to turn around, " But you're just mad because you don't have as many bitches on your dick as me."
"Man whatever. I don't have time for this." Dalvin says walking away.
"That's what I thought." Cedric says brushing off his shoulders. " Now where are you about to eat sexy." Cedric says turning to face me.
"First of all Cedric... your breath is hot." I say scrunching up my face.
"Damn girl. That's what we doing now." He smirks shaking his head.
" You're damn right. I'm not one of your hoes so I would advise you to not speak loose rap to me. It ain't gonna work on me." I say crossing my arms
"I respect that." He says nodding his head. "Well I'm sorry if I offended you in anyway. Would you ummm.. Would you mind if I paid for your food as an apology?"
I uncross my arms and think for a second before responding, " That's sweet of you." I smile. "I wouldn't mind since you offered."
" Well what do you have in mind babygirl?"
" Well I'm not all that hungry so ice cream will be fine." I giggle.
" Yeah we c-"
I grab his arm an drag him to the ice cream shop that was on the other end of the food court.

Donald's POV
As I'm in line zoned out thinking about what I want to eat at Burger King, Dalvin storms over to me.
"I hate that nigga with a passion." Dalvin says angrily.
" What did he do this time?" I say trying to sound interested.
" He had the nerve to-" He pauses for a second to gain his composure. "Actually it's everything he does or say to me. I've been keeping my cool with him and I haven't fought him yet even though I'm always tempted to. He just keeps repeatedly pushing my buttons and definitely the right ones."
"Oh really." I sigh.
" Enough about my problems.Man what's up with you. You've been acting weird today."
"Nothing." I say bluntly.
"That's all I get. A nothing."
"Yeah. There's absolutely nothing wrong with me today."
"Man ever since that girl Lisa came-. Wait hold up. You like Lisa?"
"What are you talking about Dalvin?" I laugh nervously.
" You-"
Before he could even finish his sentence the man at the cash register yelled next.
"What's up my brotha." Dalvin says doing a handshake with him. " Let me get two Big Mac meals with cheese."
"What kind of drinks?" He asks looking up from the register.
"I'll take a sprite." I say shyly pushing up my glasses.
"And I'll take a Pepsi." Dalvin interjects.
"What did that guy behind you say he wanted to drink?" He said looking at Dalvin.
" The weirdo said sprite." He laughs and the guy joins him.
"Y'all done laughing, thing 1 and thing 2." I say getting angry.
"Shut your soft ass up." Dalvin says giving the guy money for our meal.
He gives Dalvin the receipt and we walked off to the side to wait for our food.
" You gone stop disrespecting me like I'm your little brother or something." I say pointing my finger in his face.
He slowly lowered my finger," Don't be changing the subject on me big bro. You like Lisa don't you." Dalvin grins.
"I- I- I don't know what you are talking about. You must be out of it."
" You do like her." He laughs. " Hey Lisa-" He yells.
Before anything else was said I tackled him on the ground.
"You better not say shit or it's me and you. I'm not playing."
" Damn. Okay. Just get your big ass off of me. You didn't even have to do all that." He says getting up and dusting himself off.
" You were about to run your mouth as always."
" I ain't gone tell her but you better man up and tell her. Ain't you a virgin."
" Does it matter?"
" Yep you're a virgin" he chuckles.
I mock his laugh then slap him upside his head.
"I'll do the dirty deeds when it's the right time. I'm tired of y'all making of me."
"Maybe you wouldn't be so damn uptight if you would get you dick wet from time to time."
" I've had enough. I'm about to go sit down. Bring my food to the table." I say walking away.
