A/N: Short. Filler but still important kinda.

"So who is this boy you're running off with again?" My dad asked from the doorway.

"Its not a boy. Its Boyd. You've met him like a gazillion times" I said while straightening my hair.

It was Saturday and Boyd called me around 7am telling me to be ready around 12pm because he was taking me somewhere. My dad saw that I was up earlier than usual and had been asking me questions all morning. My mom wasnt at home. She had been taking up extra hours and shifts since rent was coming up soon.

I honestly didnt care that I wasnt seeing her around the house as often. She was being ridiculous. Amaru has been missing for over a week and our mom doesnt even care one bit. I understand she didnt want her to be pregnant, especially by a guy thats older than her but just treating her as if she's not important or her child is just irrational.

"Well, I guess i'll leave you alone to get ready for that boy of yours" my dad said and went away. I assumed to go read like he always did. I doubt anything was on tv that he would find interesting enough to watch.

My phone started to ring and I rolled my eyes before answering. "You said twelve, its eleven thirty."

"You said twelve, its eleven thirty headass" Boyd mocked me. "Bring yo ass on."

I chuckled and hung up before grabbing my bag and leaving. When I got outside, I spotted Boyd's car right away and walked to it.

When I opened the door, I was greeted by a seat full of stuff. There were flowers, balloons, and a gift bag. I immediately began to blush and cover my face once I saw that Boyd was recording me. "Aaaaahhh, shit. Look ya'll, she shy" he cackled while snapchatting.

"I swear I hate you so much. Stop it" I laughed while moving the stuff so I could sit down. Boyd sat his phone down and helped me.

Once all the things were in the backseat, he leaned over and kissed me. "What is all of this for?" I asked him as he started to pull off.

"You too stressed. You need to relax and enjoy yourself. So i'm 'bout to give you a lit ass day cause i'm a lit ass nigga" he grinned and plugged his phone up to the aux. "Pick and choose" he handed me his phone and I smirked knowing just what I was going to play.

I went to his music and just put his Migos playlist on shuffle. I then reached into the backseat and grabbed the gift-bag that he had for me. "Impatient ass couldnt wait huh?" he joked.

"Umm, I want to know whats in it" I told him and pulled the tissue out to see what was under it. I smiled when I saw what he got me. There were a few phone cases, a bunch of my favorite snacks, and a giftcard.

I grinned widely and leaned over to kiss him on the cheek. "Thank you."

I stayed quiet and enjoyed the ride until we ended up at our destination. Boyd parked and we got out at an ice cream place. I squinted at him. "Isnt it a little too early for ice cream?" I asked.

He side eyed me. "Its rules to ice cream? Damn, I aint know. Run 'em off for me" he responded sarcastically.

I rolled my eyes with a laugh. "You're lucky I ate breakfast."

He did the face like Nick Young with the question marks around his head. "I told yo ass to eat breakfast."

I shrugged. He was right. "Still lucky."

He nudged my head and grabbed the door for me. "Wow, Boyd can be a gentleman? I'm amazed" I joked. I always teased him about it.

"I'ma let the door hit yo' light bright ass right in yo' big ass forehead on the way out" he said. I laughed as we walked over the counter.

"Hi! Welcome" the girl at the counter greeted us.

"What you want?" Boyd looked at me. I shrugged as my eyes scanned over all the different ice cream flavors. There were so many choices that I wasn't sure. There was also a menu where we could choose different Sundaes and combinations.

"I think I want the Chocolate Chip Caramel sundae" I said. Boyd nodded and ordered for us while I went to go find a table. I chose one outside because it was a pretty nice day and I wanted to enjoy it.

I sat down in one of the chairs outside and watched different people walk up and down the sidewalk. We weren't too far from the beach so there were a bunch of people walking back and forth.

I took out my phone and reblogged a few things on tumblr before I felt something tug on my hair. I frowned and turned around coming face to face with Lily. I grew confused and looked up seeing that Cato was behind her grinning.

"Hey" I smiled down at Lily.

"Hi, we getting ice cream" she grinned proudly. I laughed at how excited she was.

"Thats cool. Me too. What kind are you getting?" I asked her.

She looked like I confused her. "I don't know" she frowned and looked up at Cato. "Come, lets go see." Lily grabbed his hand and dragged him into the shop. He rolled his eyes and nodded at me, letting her pull him along.

I wondered why Cato was so quiet. I wanted to know if it had anything to do with him dodging me. Since I asked him to find out how my sister was doing, I hadn't heard back from him. It was honestly super frustrating and it showed me that no one truly cared that she was missing but me. Boyd acts concerned, but I know he really didn't care one bit.

Speaking of him, he came out with our ice cream. "I almost had to curse ol' girl out."

"Why?" I chuckled. I'd realized in my short time dating him that he had a short temper and a small amount of patience.

"She was takin' a long ass time. How long it take you to put ice cream together?" he said.

"She seems confused. Maybe she just started" I shrugged.

"She need to stop, shit" he handed me my sundae and sat down. I glanced at his. It had a brownie at the bottom and oreos on top with fudge.

"Can I taste yours?" I asked him with a grin. It looked better than mine. I had to see what it tasted like.

He gave me a death glare and sucked his teeth before pushing it towards me. "Why ya'll girls always do that shit?"

"Do what?" I mumbled while digging down into his ice cream.

"Ya'll can't ever just eat ya'll own food.  Ya'll always gotta take from yo' man."

I shrugged in response to his statement. "You're my first real boyfriend so maybe its just an instinct." I slid his ice cream back to him.

"I'm yo what now?" he questioned.

"What?"

"You heard me" he smirked.

"I said you're my first real boyfriend" I shrugged it off and dug into my sundae.

"So you deadass?"

"Duh, why would I lie?"

"Thats crazy shit. Can I ask you somethin'?"

"Yes, I am. If that's what you were going to ask" I answered before he even asked the question.

"So i'ma be yo' first?" he asked me.

"Uhh, who said I was doing anything with you?" I raised both of my eyebrows playfully.

Boyd grabbed his chest and gasped. "Whatchu meeeeaaann?"

I started laughing but the sound of the door opening behind me scared me a bit. Arms wrapped around my neck so I looked down in confusion but relaxed when I noticed it was Lily.

"Got your ice cream?" I asked her.

She nodded. "He got some too" she pointed at Cato who was holding two cones.

"Girl bring yo lil' ass on" he chuckled and pulled her off of me.

"Byyeeee Thena!" she yelled. Cato kissed his teeth and pulled her away. I glared at him wondering what his issue was.

"Byyyeee! See you tomorrow" I said remembering i'd see her at church in the morning.

I turned around and looked at Boyd who was nose deep in his ice cream. "Sorry" I apologized for getting distracted.

"You good. Who they?" he asked nodding in the direction they had gone.

"Little girl that goes to my church and her brother" I answered.

"You know him?" Boyd looked me in the eyes.

"Yeah why?"

"Do me a favor. Stay away from cuz."

I squinted at him suspiciously. Did they know each other? I already knew what Cato was into and capable of. Here Boyd was warning me to stay away from him. He obviously had to know the things I did.

Something in my brain clicked and I remembered that Boyd knows Sonnie who Cato works for. I now wanted to be nosey and ask him what he knew.

"Why?" I asked just to play dumb.

"Look at me" I looked him in the eyes and he continued. "Stay away from him. Thats all i'ma say." I nodded as if I were going to listen. I wasn't really going to though.

Cato was too important of a piece to the puzzle as to where Amaru had gone to.
