"Having a conversation. Can I help you?" I questioned.
"There is no one out here so, who are you talking to?"she asked.
"Why the hell you questioning me like you five-o or something? I was out here minding my own damn business talking with my new homie. His cousin just died and you want to come and be nosy. Disrespectful" I groaned annoyed. She was begining to kill my high.

"My dad isn't the only reason their marriage fell apart. Leo and my mom just like to blame him because it's easier" Leslie murmured.
"Well that ain't none of my business. I have enough drama to deal with " I hummed leaning back a little.
