"You ready?" I asked Zae
"Yea," he said grabbing his car keys, "But why we gotta go over there so early for anyway?"
"I don't know, he said they had something to tell us and so here we are."
So why we had to dress up?" He said walking out the door
"Cause we're going on a triple date when they're done." I say walking to the passenger side door
"You bet not touch that fucking door handle." He said approaching me
"Um, I am a man just like you is."
"Ok? What's your point?" He says opening the door and taking my jacket.
As Zae walks around the truck, I start thinking about how lucky I was to meet him. I do this often. But let me give y'all a lil back story.
So, both of my parents died in a car crash when I was in the sixth grade. From there I moved in with my grandpa on my mom's side who was sick. Not physically, but in the head (for those of you who can read between the lines). He lived for another three years and died the second semester of my freshman year. I had no family left on my mom's side of the family and had to go live with my aunt on my dad's side. Which, surprise, is Egypt's mom. I didn't like living there because I witnessed all the abuse Egypt went through due to his "situation". There were even times where we ran away together but came back because we felt bad about leaving Zahur. One day me and Egypt snuck out to go the movies and I bumped into him there. He had just moved here to Houston from Memphis. We exchanged numbers, went on dates, then finally got together. A couple months after we started dating, I moved in with him, and have lived with him ever since.
"Mane quit blushin." He said in his thick Memphis accent
"I'm not, but can you hurry up and start this bitch up? Its cold." I said pointing at the start button
"Mane I can warm you up." He said smacking his teeth
"Zae." I said to him with a blank expression
"Ight bruh, damn." He said in a fake irritated voice
"But maybe tonight." I say patting his cheek.
"Ight nah." He replied smirking
........................
"Congratulations," I say hugging Egypt, "But we been known."
"How?" He asked with a raised eyebrow
"Well, it's been two weeks, and Zahur can't hold water. He told Isis, Isis told King, King told Yasmine, and Yasmine told me. But we all decided to wait till y'all told us."
"Oh."
"Yep, but now that it's official. Yall been doing the nasty?" I whisper in his ear
"Jordan ew, and now we have not." He said playfully pushing me
"I was just asking," I replied giggling, "and why not?"
"Cause I'm pretty sure they're going to want to know all about it. But in the next couple of chapters, idk."
"Well, come on, I know where we're about to go." I say smirking
