15 minutes later

"Aye, baby. I'm about to pull up on some of my niggas real quick. Aight?" He asked and I nodded slowly, looking away from my phone.

We were now pulling up on a small block, a couple blocks over from his. There were a bunch of guys outside, standing on the corner. They all looked over to Dom's car as he pulled up, considering he was blasting his music loudly.

"Aye, what's up, nigga?" One of them spoke with a smile as Dominic leaned out of the window.

"What's up with you, nigga?" He spoke happily, parking his car up on the curb.

A few seconds later, he leaned over to me and poked his lips up before I leaned down and pecked him.

"I'a be right back." He told me and I nodded in agreement as he got out of the car, slamming the door closed.

Now fully alert, I dropped my phone and looked around at everything that was happening around me. I listened as the guys fully embraced Dom, talking loudly over the music that was playing in the car. While some guys played basketball in the middle of the street and a group of young girls played double dutch right beside them.

"What's up, nigga? Where you been?" I heard a guy asked Dom as I reverted my attention back to them.

"Shit. Gettin' to this paper as always."

"I feel you, lil nigga. I been out here on the same thing." The guy expressed, bending down to look in the car.

"Hold up, this your lady?" He asked excitedly and I smiled awkwardly as he analyzed my face.

"Hey." I waved as Dom laughed.

"Yeah, that's my baby." He told him and I couldn't help but to get excited hearing those words.

"T, this my bitch ass uncle Snake. You met him a while ago."

"Oh yeah, I remember now." I quickly remembered him from Dom and I's prom night back in high school.

"Damn." His uncle went on, still looking at me and I smiled shyly.

"Aight, nigga. Fall back." Dom pushed him away from the car and I couldn't help but to laugh.

Moments later, we were still here and I watched closely as Dom mingled with the rest of the hundred guys that were standing out here. I was simply enjoying it, I liked seeing him excited to be around friends and family. And though he was mingling, he kept a strict eye out on me while I sat in the car, he was out there watching like a hawk.

"Aye, little mama. You hungry? We grillin' out back." One of the guys came up to the car and asked me and I shyly shook my head no.

"You sure? Dom told me to ask you." He went on and I looked over to Dom who nodded his head.

"No, thank you. I'm not hungry." I lied and he nodded before walking away.

After a few more minutes went by, Dom ended up coming back to the car and he got in half way.

"You good?" He asked me, leaving his door opened as he leaned over to kiss my cheek.

"Yeah, I'm okay." I nodded with a smile and he looked into my eyes.

"Aight, I'm about to grab some food real quick, then we gon' leave."

"Okay."

"You sure you ain't hungry?" He asked and I slowly shook my head no.

"T." He slanted his lips.
