{TWENTY-ONE}
          "Don't tell me your fucking hungry right now ashtray. He has a fucking- oh."

-

I was bored as hell today so I decided to pop into the shop and see fez and ash. "Hey ashy poo." I say as I walk into the back, throwing myself on the couch. He then lifts me up and puts me in his lap, wrapping his hands around them. "Wassup ma?" He asks. "Nothing bored." I admit.

We talk for a bit until we see Lexi enter the shop. "Oh shit, ash! They were full on flirting at the party." I tell him and he rolls his eyes. "Stop being a hater." I say.

"Ok they're a little cute." Ash admits. "See! That's exactly what I'm try-" I begin to say but I get cut off by ash putting his finger up to his mouth shushing me. I then look out of the door and see cal standing there, talking with fez.

"You think he knows fez did it?" I whisper and ash nods. Cal then went on to ask a bunch of questions and Faye and fez just stared at him blankly as Lexi looked worried. Faye had moved in with ash and fez for the time being because of some "accident". She just pushed a motel manager off the balcony.

When she first moved in ash was so mad at fez that he couldn't even eat or talk to him. He made me stay over for a week before then coming to my house and staying for a week as well.

As we watched the interaction we saw cal reach into his pocket, a click of the safety of a gun coming off. Ash then rushed to a cereal box. "Don't tell me your fucking hungry right now ashtray. He has a fucking- oh." I say as ash. We then watched as he dogged on his pocket then fished out a twenty dollar bill. "Just a concerned parent." I mumbled after reading his lips. "Huh?" Ash asks.

"That's what he said, he was just a concerned parent." I tell ash and he makes his mouth into an o shape. "Who the fucks blowing your phone up?" Ash asks as my phone pings back and forth. "No clue hold on." I say answering it. "Hello?" I say quietly.

"Amari? Is that you?" A female voice asks. "Uh yes? Who's this?" I ask. "I'm your mother." I hear the lady say softly. I stayed silent looking in shock as she spoke again. "I heard about your brother, and me and your father wanna know if we can come live in the house." She explains.

"Your fucking joking right?" I ask. "No honey I'm not." She says. "Don't call me that. Ray died two fucking months ago and it's now you care!?" I ask with anger through my voice as ash gently rubs my thigh, confused.

"Honey, if I knew that Ray was getting into that stuff we would've never left you with him." She says. "No, go fuck yourself. Ray raised me better than you could've and if you think he didn't tell me all the things about you, your stupid as shit. He took over your fucking business. Your the reason he's dead." I say and even though it wasn't fully true it was, she played a part. From the beginning.

"You don't mean that honey. Me and your father should be there by the morning." She says. "I mean it. And don't fucking call me that. If you show up here, I'll kill you." I say and hang up. I wouldn't really kill them but hopefully the threat got through her thick skull.

"Who the fuck was that?" Ash asks. "My fucking dead beat "mother"." I say using quotations. "You wanna go home?" He asks and I nod.

"Ashtray cmon!" I yell as he tickles me. I then pin him down and begin laughing. "How do you like that loser?" I ask sticking my tongue out. "A lot actually." He says holding my waist. "Ew." I say removing his hands and getting up.

"You bored?" He asks. "Super." I respond. "Aight, you wanna try something new?" He asks. "Um, depends on what it is." I tell him.

"K, open your mouth." Ash says then takes a puff of his joint. He then brings his lips to mine. "Inhale it." He says. I inhale then exhale and as I do I begin coughing. "Ma, I thought you could handle a little smoke." Ash says tauntingly. "You didn't do it right." I say. "Your just saying that so I can kiss you again." Ash says and I roll my eyes.

"You wish." I say. "Yea, I really do." He tells me and I laugh. "Oo we should bake!" I shout. "Um, I'm gonna fuck up like half of the things." Ash says, scratching the back of his neck. "Don't worry I'll do the most work. Just stand there and look hot." I say and get up, ash following me.

By the end of it we were both covered from head to toe in flour because ash thought it was a good idea to throw a handful in my face and I got my revenge. "Shit this is messy." I say. Ash then grabs the broom and starts sweeping my feet, "gotta sweep up the trash." He says and I roll my eyes. "Yea I'm never kissing you again." I say and begin walking away before ash grabs me and pulls me into a hug.

I look up at him and we begin laughing. "You know, because of how much you use to hate me, ai never thought we'd even be friends let alone together." I tell him. "Same, the way you use give me that fucking scary ass stare bro." Ash says and I give him a quick kiss before running upstairs to shower, leaving a trail of flour that I'd have to vacuum later.
