Damn everybody fine.
Glow if that’s yo man just say that. Ready for the couple’s content.
Tunan laughed out loud at the comments while I simply picked up my fork. Bowing my head, I said a silent prayer beforesticking the utensil in the greens. The flavor burst in my mouth, and I had barely chewed and already deemed these the best greens I’d ever had. Putting more greens on my fork, I worked my way around the food, deciding what to pair it with for my next bite. The food tasted even more flavorful as I tried different items together. Greens, lasagna, mac and cheese, turkey legs, cornbread, cabbage, and black-eyed peas all stared at me as I tried to eat what I could. The food was so good that I nibbled on a little bit of everything while Tunan read the comments and responded to the people he knew.
When I was full, I pushed the plate aside and took a sip of my water.
“Mama Payne needs a restaurant. That food was so good! I know y’all used to me going to restaurants, but this has everything beat that I’ve eaten all year. The greens were well seasoned and meaty, the mac and cheese… well, I know y’all saw that cheese pull. The lasagna had a sweet taste that I can barely describe, but I loved it, and the cornbread was soft and buttery like cake. Ten out of ten, for sure.”
Tunan stood and took out the last braid in my head. When the weave hit the bag, I felt the urge to pee.
That food looked so damn good.
I know a Memphis plate when I see one.
Glow you barely ate. I would have smashed that shit.
She always barely eat.
My neck tightened. Pulling at my skirt, I pushed back from the table. “I’ll be right back. He’s going to keep y’all company while I use the restroom.”
Not waiting for Tunan’s reply, I went into the house. I could hear the family eating, but couldn’t see them. There was a bathroom off to the side of the kitchen, so I entered, relieved my bladder, and wiped myself. I shook my head at the amountof essence from my vagina that was between my legs. After properly cleaning myself and washing my hands, I was back outside where Tunan had taken my seat.
As I circled the chair, Tunan pulled me into his lap, turning my body so that my legs hung off the side of his thigh. “Feed me while I comb out your hair, my baby.”
Not wanting to argue about my live seeing us, I scooped up the greens on my fork while he sectioned off my hair and used the wide-tooth comb that Tuscany had brought out.
I didn’t dare look at the comments; I knew it was a party in them. Tunan shifted his gaze from my hair to my face while finishing the rest of the food I fed him from the same fork I’d just used. It was just the noise of the hood in the distance, the crunch of the food, chewing, and my racing heart. Somehow, we were in our own little world, not caring that hundreds—maybe thousands—of people were watching us. His steady gaze looked into mine with silent expectation. Tunan didn’t have to do much; in fact, he didn’t have to do anything at all. He was undoubtedly that guy. He wasn’t dripping in designer clothes, nor did he have jewelry worth seven figures, yet my heart couldn’t help but race while in his embrace.
“Thank you, my baby. Shit too fye. Now, turn ’round so I can comb out your hair.” He nodded toward the phone.
Holding in my groan, I peered at the screen. The comments were coming through so fast that all of the words looked like they were running together. Scrolling up, I attempted to see if I’d missed any comments from important figures, like a brand or fellow content creator. I’d had comments from my favorite female celebrities in the past, and I always tried to catch them so they’d know I appreciated their support. When I couldn’t spot any in the sea of comments, I scrolled back down to the most recent ones. I laughed at the number of people going crazy about Tunan and me.
Tunan began sectioning my hair, and he hadn’t lied when he said Tuscany had them taking her braids out because he was combing from the roots. His touch was so gentle that it almost felt euphoric. I had to hold my composure, though, because we weren’t alone.
Okay! Y’all so fucking sexy!
That nigga so damn fine, Lord! I see what you do for others, Big G!!
Glow you deserve this!
Yasss bitch!
Oh, Glow in there. She had the whole family taking her braids down. That’s having her way for real!
Oh bitch you holding the fuck out! What the helly?????! I’ll blow your phone up and fuck up your live right now!
The last comment was from Mocha, and it caused me to bark out a laugh. “Mochaaaaa! I’ll call you!”
I knew I had some explaining to do, but they’d have to wait until I got back home. I didn’t even know how to explain what was occurring and was already trying to figure out what I was going to say, and what I wasn’t. Everyone had secrets, so maybe I was being petty, but I felt compelled to hold Tunan close to my chest.
BlaykeNoU: Ohhh see you should have took us to Memphis with you! I need a YN that’s in touch with his feminine side.
“I got you next time, Blayke.”I winked.
Oh so she is in Memphis!
I know my people from anywhere! Glow in my cityyyy!
