2 months later ( Thanks giving )

Adrian POV

I haven't spoke or even texted Destiny since I dropped her home from the Senior party, I wasn't tripping but it did feel weird for her to not be blowing my phone up like these other females do.

Grandma- "Baby go and pick me up some sweet potatoes for the pie I'm fixing to make".

Adrian- "ok, I'm leaving now" I said while grabbing my keys out my pocket and walking out the door.

Adrian- I got into the car starting my engine and then looked over to seeing Destiny and her mom taking in groceries into their home.

Mrs. Gold- "Happy Thanksgiving Adrian"

Adrian- "Happy Thanksgiving" I waved

Destiny POV

I seen Adrian in the car, Saying happy thanksgiving, but I just looked away and carried the bags into the house.

Destiny- "mom do you want me to put up the groceries and then make the macaroni?"

Mrs Gold- "yes sweetie, but make sure you wash your hands".

Destiny- I washed my hands and took out the pot for the macaroni and then seen a message from Lamar my guy Bestfriend I've been talking to at River High.

Message from Lamar💚

I came out the grocery store with the sweet potatoes and other items my grandma called me to get, I sent Caleb a text asking if he coming over my house for thanksgiving dinner.

Caleb- "homie who car is that" he said standing by the front porch

Adrian- I heard Caleb ask me as I pulled up into the driveway.

Adrian- "I don't know" I said while shutting my car door.

Grandma- "Thank you baby for the groceries" she smiled while I walked in.

Adrian- "No problem" I said putting the bags on the counter.

Grandma- "go over to the neighbors across the street and see if you can spend some time with them because I don't want you and Caleb in my house all day playing the game" she said waving her hand up.

Destiny- omg do they know each other? I thought to myself

Adrian- "Are you family with Destiny?" He asked confused.

Lamar- "oh no I'm just here with her on thanksgiving" he said while walking towards the kitchen.

Adrian- "Hey ma" I said to Destiny while she was stirring the macaroni in the pot.

Mrs, Gold- "of course, thank you"

Adrian- Thank you Lord for this food we have received and blessings it to be nourishment to our bodies in Jesus name Amen

Everyone- Amen

Caleb- Finally, now let's eat!

Everyone- Laughs

Adrian- I watched as Destiny ate her food, she ate so small and pretty, I smiled at her making her turn her face away from me.

Adrian- "Destiny you did your thing with this macaroni ma" I said bumping her arm

Destiny "Thank you, it's my dad recipe" she said with her head down

Lamar- where's your pops?

Everyone- gets quiet

Adrian- Destiny ran upstairs to her room

Adrian- "I'm sorry to hear that can I check on her?"

Mrs. Gold- "yes please"
