How To Love

Dayveon POV

"I been watching you for a minute, come through here so sweet scented. Your life, girl you need me in it. I'm determined to win it. I know what you need, I know what's wrong, I know how to make it tight. Everything will be alright if you let me hold you and introduce you to my world, introduce you to the better side of life you ain't been seeing, girl. All you gotta do is be with it and let me hold you down like a real man is supposed to-"

"Man, what kind of sus ass shit is you listening to?" Anthony asked, turning around to face me from where he sat at the foot of my bed.

"Mind your business." I mumbled and laid my head back on my pillow, releasing a thick cloud of smoke from my mouth.

"Nah bruh, we supposed to be chilling and you're over here in your damn feelings." He laughed, pausing the game of 2K he was playing.

"Ain't nobody in their feelings." I said, not paying him any mind.

"Lyin' ass. That was the God damn fifth love song you listened to. In a row."

"And?" I asked, finally looking at him, "don't blow my high."

"Dont blow my high" he mocked, "get your ass up and let me bust yo' ass in this real quick."

"Bust who ass?" I frowned, sitting up in my bed.

"Yours, the fuck."

"You been good at this shit for all of three days and you getting cocky. Let me put you back in your place right quick." I chuckled, smashing the tip of my blunt in the ash tray beside my bed.

Grabbing a controller, I set the game up so that we were playing against each other and just as expected, I whooped his ass the entire first quarter.

Just as the second quarter was starting, my phone started to receive different notifications and before I could pause the game, Anthony looked at my phone for me.

"Who the hell is Carmen, heart eyes and drooling emoji?" He asked, a smirk on his face.

"Give me my shit." I mumbled and snatched my phone out of his hand. "Nosey ass bitch."

"I know damn- ah shit!" He laughed, holding his fist over his mouth with wide eyes.

"Don't start your shit." I warned him, turning my phone on to see what Carmen had texted me.

"You got a girl?" He asked in a hushed tone.

"No, I don't." I rolled my eyes.

Carmen😍🤤: hey -4:09 P.M.

"But you got feelings for someone?" He asked, his smile still on his face.

"Can you shut the fuck up?" I mumbled, replying to Carmen's text.

I said hey at like 10 this morning, why you just now replying? -4:10 P.M.

"That's a yes." He laughed and stood up from my bed then started to jump around on my bedroom floor, only making me glare at him. "That's why you been listening to all them damn love songs."
