•Derek Borgen•

It's been abt a month and some weeks since Lailah and I have been talking. I ain't gonna lie, I really like her. I wanna make her my girl right now. She pretty asf, smart, her vibe is just everything, she who I want.

Anyway, we was on facetime while I was playing the game with the boys.

Me: Why am I on mute?

Lailah: its just that my parents are arguing..... AGAIN.

Me: Talk to me. That's what I'm here for.

I started speaking in the mic.

Me: Aye ima hop on later.

Mike: Ight bet

Vallyk: ight.

I turned off my console and sat on my bed.

Lailah: you didn't have to do that baby

Derek: I wanna talk to you Mama. You got all my attention now

Lailah: *laughs* ur cute.

Derek: How was your day?

Lailah: It was good, I-

She was cut off by her parents when they busted in her room.

Mom: laii get up and pack a bag

Dad- so now your gonna take my kids from me? Really?

Mom: OMG YOUR SUCH AN ASSHOLE! YOU EMBARRASSED ME IN FRONT OF EVERYONE, WHY WERE YOU EVEN DRINKING?

Dad: I'm sorry you married such an embarrassment.

Lailah: Why are y'all in here doing all that?

Dad: Lailah stay out of this.

Laii- y'all came in my room!

Mom- lailah get up now, pack your brother bag too

Dad- you not taking my kids away Michelle

Lailah: can y'all at least do that in your room, I'm on the phone.

They got out and Lailah sighed.

Lailah: Sorry

Me: It's ok. Yk all couples fight its a normal thing.

Lailah: not like this, this has been going on for 3 days.

Me: Just try and get your mind off of them.

Lailah: ok. *grabbing her bag*

Me- where are y'all going?

Lailah- probably to my granny house, that's where we go every time they get into an altercation

Me- oh ok

Lailah- yeah, anyways my day was good. I had stunt practice, we're getting ready for the tournament.

Me: When is it?

Lailah: In October.

Me: Ok. You suck?

Lailah: Hell Nah, I'm the best flyer you gon ever see.

Me: Cocky Much?

Lailah: Boy please.

*You took a facetime photo*

Lailah: *giggles* Ur annoying.

Me: ik.

We talked for another hour a little bit longer before she had to get off the phone bc she was leaving.
