"Watch your fuckin' hands." He got serious, making me laugh. He did not like his butt touched.

"Then watch your filthy mouth."

"And go make my food." I demanded and he scoffed, doing as told.

After about twenty minutes, the food was done and we were now sitting at the dining room table.

"Gon' home today?" He asked and I nodded.

"Do you want me to?" I asked, looking down at my plate.

"Na' not really.."

"Well I'm only going because I have to get out of these clothes and I need to finish apartment hunting." I explained to him and he looked down at his plate, scooping more food into his mouth.

"Oh aight. So you comin' back tonight?"

"Yeah, I'll be back later. I just really need to get this apartment stuff done."

"Because It's getting harder and harder. Plus I still have to find a good paying job that will support me, my mom already told me that she's only paying for my first year's rent then after that I'm on my own." I sighed deeply and he nodded.

"I feel you, ma. I know you gon' find something."

"Where you thinking about movin' to?" He went onto ask and I shrugged.

"I don't know yet but somewhere closer to here definitely." I admitted, considering my current house was already far enough. I didn't want to move some where farther, I wanted to be closer to him. I mean, considering the fact that I'm here almost everyday.

"Oh so you wun' be close to a nigga?" He smirked, making me smack my lips.

"Bye, Dominic." I couldn't help but to laugh.

"It's not always about you." I went on, making him laugh.

"Oh yeah?"

"No."

"It's always about you though." He looked up into my eyes seriously. I smiled small, looking down. He was being so cute today and I couldn't take it. He was making me fall deeper in love with him and we weren't even boyfriend and girlfriend anymore.

This was only making me more impatient when it came to him being mine again.

"You ain't gotta be ashamed though. You just wun' be closer to me." He looked down, joking again.

"You love a nigga, admit it."

"Well yeah, I do." I nodded, looking up into his eyes.

"I really do." I smiled small, looking back down once he smiled.

That night

"Hey, y'all. Can y'all tell Dom that I'll be up in his room?" I asked as I walked up onto the porch seeing Deja, Leek and Zay while Dom was down the block talking to someone.

"Aight. We got you." They all spoke up and I nodded, walking into the the house. I then made my way upstairs to his room and waited for him to get back.

About five minutes later, he'd finally came back and I could hear him downstairs through the crack of his room's door.
