Noel

After I finally arrived home, I decided to text Yb back and every since then we've been texting nonstop getting to know each other

"Alright y'all I'm- Noel Where is your sister?" My mom asked as she entered the kitchen with her scrubs on.

My mom worked the overnight shift at the hospital when we were in Arizona so once we moved out here, she decided to keep on with her overnight shift at her new job. I hated her being out this late at night but she likes it so it's whatever I guess

I opened a pack of chicken flavored ramen noodles and plopped it into a pot of boiling water, making sure to pour the broken pieces from the bag inside of the pot as well "she left for work already. She was already 10 minutes late when she ran out the door"

My momma sighed and grabbed her keys off of the key rack

"That girl started that job at Walmart yesterday and she already been late both days. Noel, don't be like Dana"

"I won't momma, trust me" I told her with a laugh and used my fork to stir my noodles as my phone vibrated

"Let me take my ass to work before I be late too"

"Yeah you do that" I responded while pulling my phone out of my back pocket to read the message

YB:
Wyd?

-Cookin noodles

After I texted him back I sat my phone down and hugged my momma as she kissed my forehead

"I'll be back in the morning. If you have any emergencies use the card and if you leave remember to lock up the house please"

"I'm not going anywhere momma" I assured her with a slight chuckle and she laughed before walking out of the kitchen. My phone vibrated again so I picked it up to feel that it hadn't stopped vibrating. I was getting a phone call... from Yb

"Ahh shit" I muttered, looking at the incoming call. I've always hated talking to people on the phone especially for the first time. It took me a minute but after a while I finally decided to answer his phone call

"Hello?"

"I thought you wasn't gone answer for a minute"

"I was thinking about it" I honestly told him with a laugh and he smacked his lips

"Damn you was gone do me like that?"

I stirred my noodles around a little bit more before turning the stove off "I just don't like talking on the phone"

"Oh forreal? You shouldn't have told me that. Now ima call yo' ass all the time"

"Oh, so you tryina torture me?" I asked while I finished my noodles. I poured them into a bowl and sat at the small kitchen table, hearing music playing in his background "are you in a car?"

"Yeah why? You want me to pull up?"

"I ain't say all of that. But I mean... Sure, if you want" I told him before stuffing a forkful of noodles into my mouth forgetting that they were hot so I had to blow out the steam while making some weird noises cause I wasn't about to spit out some good ass noodles

"The hell you doing?" Yb asked with a laugh. I chewed and swallowed the noodles before speaking again

"My bad, I forgot these noodles were hot"

He started laughing again "Well just drop yo' location so I can come pull up on you, Ight"

"Sure" I responded before the phone went dead. After he hung up I sent him my location then finished eating my noodles. Once I was done I washed my bowl and the pot because I didn't feel like hearing my momma's mouth when she gets home from work. Just as I finished washing those, there was a knock on the door
