HER

7.

"Damn Mora" Draco groaned as he sat back letting Ximora work.

She smirked as she twisted her hands around it.

Once she stopped he let out a breath.

"It's not even that tight" she laughed.

"How you gon tell me? It my head" he said.

She rolled her eyes but loosened up on his retwist.

"You like?" She asked after she finished putting his locs in two strand twists.

He looked in the mirror and nodded "You could line me up a lil too?"

"Ughhh" she sounded as she set up for his hair cut.

"Thank you" he smiled putting some money in her hand.

"You don't gotta pay" she said tryna hand it back.

He eyed her and she eyed him back.

She sighed.

He put the money in Ximora's purse.

Shortly after, they laid in his bed watching TV.

"So I been looking at some apartments, you wanna see?" Ximora asked.

Jaelen shrugged not exactly interested in them moving out.

im going to refer to him as Jaelen more often now.

He clicked through a few of her saved houses with a noticeable attitude.

"Me and KJ cannot be here forever" Ximora told him.

"What you making for dinner?" he asked ignoring her.

"Jaelen.." she shook her head.

"Ximora ion wanna hear bout that right now, talk to me when you find a definite place" he said.

She sighed and decided to leave the conversation alone for now.

"We need to go grocery shopping, I don't have anything for dinner" Ximora thought aloud.

He nodded and handed her back her phone as he stood up.

"Which store?" He asked grabbing his keys.

She slid her crocs on and grabbed her hoodie "We can go to Publix"

_____________

"My sister asking if KJ can spend the night" Jaelen said looking at his phone as they sat in the Publix parking lot.

KJ had spent the day with Jaelen's sister and her daughter (his niece), Maliyah. Prior to this they had two other play dates and seemed to love each other. Ximora also clicked with his sister, who was a year older than her.

"Umm yea, we can put the groceries up and drop off her clothes" Ximora said.

He nodded and typed something on his phone.

"What you got my hoodie for?" He asked finally looking at her.

"This mine" she lied.

"Shawty... it got my last name on the back" he laughed.

She rolled her eyes "Maybe wherever I bought it from-"
