Odell POV

The ride was quiet as Dezzy looked out the window with her hood still on. I was so glad that she agreed to come back to the house with me.

"You eat before you tried to flee the scene?" I asked, looking over at her.

"Nope."

"You wanna get some food?"

"Yeah."

"What was you bout to do anyway?"

"Just... go away for a while."

"How long is a while Desireé? Until I 'forgot' what happened?" I sucked my teeth, "Whatever man."

"Why are you getting mad?" She rolled her eyes.

"Cuz you always fuckin' runnin'. You don't never face the shit that scares you. Runnin' from ya mama, runnin from Derrick, and now you runnin from me when i'on even wanna hurt you.The shit is aggravating."

"You ever think it wouldn't be so fucking aggravating if you would actually let me get away."

"Oh please, so you can do what? Go where? With who? I would let you leave if you had some shit to go to, but you don't. You don't have shit. You've never had shit, except for whatever I gave you." Okay, that came out wrong.

"You know what fuck you Odell!" She unlocked the door and got out right after the light turned green.

Women are fucking crazy.

"Desireé! The fuck are you doing? Get yo ass back in here!" I called to her through the rolled down window.

"Nah, I'm always running remember?!I'm aggravating, remember?!  I don't have shit remember?!" She took the hoodie off that I gave her a threw it into the car at me. "Fuck you, if I'm always trying to get away, maybe you should take that as I sign that I don't wanna be around you! Take the fucking hint! Fuck you!"

Cars were honking for me to move. Fuck them.

I got out of the car and jogged around it to grab her as she tried to walk away. "Whea the fuck you going?! Get back in the car and quit bein' stupid 'fore yo ass get ran ova'." I pushed her into the car as cars swerved around us.

Surprisingly she stayed in the car until I got to the other side.

"Gotta put the child safety on cuz you wanna play dumbass a' the day," I spoke as I locked the door and buckled up before pulling off. "And buckle up."

I looked over at her to see that she was looking straight ahead with tears rolling down her face. I hate seeing her fucking cry.

I reached my hand over to wipe her cheeks and she swatted my hand away. "Stop touching me."

"Dezzy, I didn't mean fa' what I said to hurt you. It came out wrong," I offered.

"Fuck you Odell, like seriously. Fuck you. You're full of shit." She wasn't crying sad tears, she was crying angry tears.

"Don't act all innocent, cuz we both know what you were getting at back there." When she was talking about me taking a hint she was alluding to the shit my dad said when he told me he ain't wanna raise me. Dezzy does the same shit as everybody else, she just wanna be slick with it.
