i was walking along times square with dd, desi, and notti. as long as it's been, we still all managed to stay together. there were some big arguments that happened, but we're past that now.

i looked up from my phone and saw someone, familiar looking. i scrunched up my face trying to think. "YOO THATS--" i started to say until dd punched my chest. "dont bring her up." dd whispered to me.

when i yelled, that drew attention to the group and allowed the two to notice us all. i saw them approaching us, so i sighed. desi was too focused on her phone to realize that BITCH was making her way over here.

"HEYY yall." sy'rai said as she smiled. desi looked up from her phone and scrunched up her face. "yall not finna say none?" sy'rai asked the group. me and notti shook our head no, which caused dd to laugh.

"who them, bae?" some nigga with dreads said. dd was staring into that nigga soul and then gasped. "whats up with lil bro." the dude said, pointing at dd. "nigga i fought yo dumbass." dd laughed. the boy got a closer look at dd and took a step back.

"heyy ethannn." sy'rai pat notti's shoulder. "uhh, whats up..?" notti shrugged. "hows you and that girl AVAAA." she laughed. "it's eva, but we got an apartment together.. i guess." notti sighed. dd and desi moved in together, notti and eva moved in together, even dami moved in with his girl.

"why you aint ask to move in with me yet bae?" sy'rai shoved that nigga with dreads. the boy shrugged and got onto his phone. "hmm." sy'rai hummed. "whats up with desi..?" she added. "i'm chilling." desi shrugged.

the fact that this bitch had the nerve to ask me what's wrong pissed me off. i looked at her and she smiled, like why you smiling at me. ANDD she dating the nigga who got his ass beat by dd.

just everything i hate about a bitch. "it's cool, we finna head out." sy'rai waved at all of us. nobody waved back to her.. i dont know why she acting so brand new. darrian, ethan, and dd looked at me.

"what?" i asked. they all exchanged looks at each other and started laughing. "desi was all like." darrian started making a rude face and smacking his lips. "no i wasnt. was i?" i gasped. dd and ethan nodded their head very fast.

"that was random as hell." ethan spoke up. "HONESTLY." darrian lightly hit his shoulder. "i aint seen her at all in these three years, thought she moved." i said. "i told yall she did some crazy shit." ethan added. "like what? i forgot." i asked him.

"BRO, SHE PULLED UP TO EVA HOUSE" ethan started yelling. the people we were walking past side eyed us. "wait lets go into this mac cosmetics." i said as i pointed to the sign. the three boys sighed and prepared themselves to enter the store.

i laughed and walked inside. "wowww." i said as i looked at all the beauty products. i went to the section for some of the clear lip gloss. they have the best lip gloss HANDS DOWN. "this cologne don't smell very good, des." darrian frowned as he tried to smell whatever he sprayed on him.

"did you open that darrian..?" i asked him. he widened his eyes and then slowly shook his head. "boy, that's setting spray." i started laughing. "right ddot, you sound dumb, they use that to clean their eyebrows." dd sucked his teeth.

"yall sound so dumb right now. they put it over they makeup." ethan rolled his eyes. "ethan won this one yall.." i sighed. they mugged me and then groaned. "can we get out of here, the cougars staring." darrian hid behind me.

"boy, get off me." i laughed as i pushed him. i grabbed two of the clear lip glosses and i grabbed the setting spray darrian opened. "they got black panther lipstick, broo." dd gasped. "put it on!" ethan shoved me out the way to see.

"AW LOOK DESI IT'S YOU!" ethan said pointing at a picture of me modeling some makeup. i forgot all about that ad. "damn." dd said looking at the picture. darrian side eyed the picture, and threw a cotton ball at it.

i sucked my teeth and rolled my eyes. i proceeded to go to the cash register. "thank you for coming to mac cosmetics in times square, did you find everything fine today?" the employee asked me as she scanned the makeup products.

"yes, thank you, and i love your makeup." i smiled. "aww, thank you. if you have a mac pro membership, enter your phone number." she said as she pointed to the screen. i entered my phone number on the keypad and pressed next.

"okay, the price will be $51.10, cash or debit?" she asked me as she bagged the items. i reached for some money in my bag. "my bad, here." dd said, running over to where i was. i looked at his face and started laughing.

"what?" dd scrunched up his face. "baby your lips is stained purple, and you got it on your hands." i explained to him, while laughing. he sighed and still handed me his debit card. "enter your pin." the worked added. dd nodded and entered his pin into the keypad.

"email or print for your receipt?" she asked me. "print." i answered. she waited for the paper to print and then she handed it to me. "thank you, have a wonderful day." she waved to me. "thank you." i waved back.

"thank you, dd." i kissed his cheek. "effortless, you feel me. i'm making bread, gotta give my wife some." dd slightly nudged my shoulders. i laughed and shook my head. "where them lil kids go?" i asked dd while looking out for darrian and ethan.

"i think they went to the target over there." he pointed to the sign. we walked out of the mac store and headed for the target. "i'm finna yell." dd whispered in my ear. i laughed and hid my smile. "DARRIAN AND ETHAN, I'M GONNA WHOOP YALL ASSES WHEN WE GET HOME." dd said in a deep voice.

i started laughing and punching dd. i was gasping for air and rolling on the floor. "WE SORRYYYYYY." darrian yelled back. "KEEP PLAYING WITH ME." dd yelled. i got up from the floor and was still laughing. "NOOO." ethan yelled along with them.

after some more yelling we finally found them. "whoever is yelling, please stop or we'll escort you guys out of here." some woman said over the speakers. "SHUT YA ASS UP." i yelled in a kid voice. dd gasped and started laughing.

"where the games section?" i asked them. "man, i don't know." darrian shrugged. "shut the fuck up, hoe." i scrunched up my face at him. he widened his eyes and punched me hard in my shoulder.

we finally walked past the aisle that had the games in it. "okay i'ma get monopoly, family feud, and connect 4." i said as i picked out the games off of the shelf. i turned around and darrian and ethan were gone.

dd looked down and started laughing. i turned my head and saw them on some tiny ass bikes. "yall too grown." i laughed. "what about it?" darrian rolled his eyes. "dd, what we eating for dinnerrr." i said as i emphasized the r.

"i want eggrolls." dd shrugged. "which kind?" i asked him walking to the international food aisle. "the philly cheesesteak ones." dd smirked. "oh okayy." i nodded my head.

"yall talking about dinner in front of us, so yall making us some too, right?" ethan asked me. "hell nah, this my wife." dd side hugged me. "she making me some of course. you do all this cooking but never bring me some." darrian frowned.

i ignored them and continued searching for the ingredients. once i was done we went to the self-checkout and scanned all of the items. after we paid, each of the three boys had bags in their hands.

"okay, let's find the car." i smiled. i clicked my keys and heard the noise of my car. "over there, by the mcdonalds sign." ethan pointed. "can we get some?" darrian asked me. i shook my head no and walked towards my car.

once we all made it to my car i got into the front seat and they loaded the groceries into the trunk. they all got into the car, darrian being in the front, with me, and the two brothers in the back. "can i get the aux, sis?" darrian asked me.

i nodded my head and pointed to the bluetooth screen. as i drove off from the parking space, he connected his phone, and started playing, 𝐋𝐎𝐕𝐄 𝐃𝐎𝐍𝐓 𝐂𝐇𝐀𝐍𝐆𝐄 by 𝐉𝐄𝐑𝐄𝐌𝐈𝐇.

"BOOM BOOM. YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAHHH." darrian started singing. "nigga stop kicking my seat." he stopped and looked back at ethan. "I'M NOTTT." ethan yelled at him.

"YOU ARE BRO." darrian yelled at him. "I'M--" ethan started to say, before darrian hushed him. he turned up the song and started singing. "I CAN TELL JUST BY YOUR FACE THIS PART OF US BEEN GONE, FOR SO LONGG."

"AND I KNOW THERES NO REPLACING WHAT HE HAD GOING ON, FOR SO LONGG." he started snapping his fingers. "BUT WHEN IT HURTSSSS, I CAN MAKE IT BETTER." he continued.

"GIRL IF IT WORKSSS, ITS GON BE FOREVER. WE BEEN THROUGH THE WORSTTT, MADE IT THROUGH THE WEATHER." darrian held his shirt tight and continued singing. "our problems and the pain, but love dont change.." i continued for him.

singing with my cousin really is the best. i remember back in the day when we put on a show for our family. don't make my get the flashbacks going, i don't mind showing people the videos. feel bad my son couldn't be here with us, cause he had school, man.
