Jawun's POV

I looked down at Camry as she slept beautifully on my chest. I hate to have to move from under her but I had to piss like a Russian racehorse. I slowly slid out the bed and made my way to the bathroom down the hall. I didn't wanna use her personal bathroom just out of respect.

"Jaylin, she's sleep," Anisha whispered from her room. I knew Jaylin from high school but we were never cool. We were the complete opposite; I was the nerd he was the jock.

"I know but I couldn't find her bank statement with her account number on it," Anisha whispered.

I leaned closer to the door, trying hard not to fall into her door.

"Look Jaylin. She had twenty-five million, eight-hundred and sixteen thousand, three hundred and forty dollars and seventy-eight cents on her card a couple weeks ago. So far all she did was spend a thousand on Ri and bought that car which was like sixty-seven thousand."

Did she really know how much Camry had on her card? All the way down to the cents. I couldn't believe my ears. The one person that Camry brags about all the time, is the very person betraying her.

"She's still sitting on twenty mil."

I had heard enough. I didn't even have to pee anymore. I went and laid in bed with Camry and just stared at the ceiling. How do I break this to her? Do I tell her? Maybe I'll just act like I never heard anything.

Camry's POV

I woke up with a headache out of this world. I couldn't even open my eyes because my blinds were open. I was never getting this drunk again. I turned myself around preparing to get out the bed.

"Good morning beautiful." Jawun looked just as fine in the morning as he did any regular day.

"Not such a good morning. My head is banging." I said while I climbed over him to get out of bed. I accidentally touched his morning wood as it poked through his boxers. "Wellll. I'm starting to think this could become a great morning."

I stepped out of the bed and walked towards the bathroom. "I hope you don't mind, I used one of those new toothbrushes in there," Jawun called out. I nodded my head closing the door behind me.

I looked in the mirror and I must say I looked flawless. What Beyoncé say? I woke up like this. I found my Ibuprofen and popped two of them. I preceded to do my hygienes which consisted of showering, brushing my teeth, wrapping my hair and moisturizing my body. I put my robe on and walked back into my room.

"Time takes everybody out. Time's undefeated." someone on the tv said. "That's the realist shit I've ever heard," Jawun said sitting up on the bed watching Creed.

I went downstairs to the kitchen to start breakfast. That's the least I could do for the man who almost broke my bed and back last night. I hooked my phone to the aux cord. I was jamming to my music, scrambling eggs, frying bacon and making pancakes. I started the coffee maker as I began making Anisha, Jawun and I's plates.

As if on cue, Anisha walked into the kitchen. "Hey, favorite cousin. You look like you're in a good mood," she spoke walking up and hugging me.

"Yea, I feel pretty good, if I do say so myself. Is Avion here?" I asked forgetting that he came back with us last night.

"Girl no, he made sure we got here safe and walked home."

"Aw, that was so sweet of him." I finished making the plates and called Jawun downstairs.

"Good morning Wan," Anisha said acknowledging Jawun's presence.

"Sup," he said more of a statement than a question.

We all sat at the table and ate breakfast. We made small talk until my phone started ringing.

"Hey, momma's baby."

"Hi, mommy. Did you have fun last night?" More fun than you'd ever know little girl.

"Yes, I had a blast. Did you have fun with your daddy and granny?"

"It was magnificent mommy." I choked on my coffee, hearing her say that big of a word. Jawun and Anisha looked up at me.

"Where'd you learn that word?"

"My granny taught me that word yesterday. I like it."

"That's good baby. You're building your vocabulary."

"Okay, mommy. I was calling to check on you. My daddy gonna take me skating and to the movies."

"Okay, Ri. Have fun. I love you soo much."

"I love you too mommy. Bye."

"No, it's see you late.." I know this girl did not hang up on me. I shook my head while standing up to put my plate in the sink.

"So what you doing today Cam?" Jawun asked, putting his plate in the sink as well.

"Nothing, Probably sit around and invite some friends over."

"How bout you let me take you on a date?" he said grabbing my waist.

"I hope it's later tonight because my momma wants us to go on a lunch date with the family. For your birthday." Anisha butted in.

"And when is this? Why didn't I know about this?" Jawun let me go so I could turn around and face Anisha.

"She called this morning. And in less than an hour," she laughed as I looked at the time. The clock read 11:15 am.

I sighed, "Why did you let me eat if you knew we'd be going for lunch."

"Girl now you know you gonna eat again. Ohh you don't want Jawun knowing you eat a lot?", she covered her mouth.

Jawun scuffed and looked at me. "Well you gonna go on a dinner date with me tonight?"

"Yes, I'd love that."

"Okay well I'm bouta go handle some stuff at the donut shop and I'll text you later. Have a nice day." Jawun kissed me on my check and headed out.

"Do he not like me or something?" Anisha said once the door closed.

"I don't know. Let's go get dressed though. We have about 30 minutes."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I stood in the mirror and examined my outfit. Again, I decided on no makeup. My skin wasn't perfect but I wasn't a makeup type of person. I would rather be bare faced than caked up with makeup. It's only lunch. But tonight! I was gonna have Jordy beat my face.

My outfit was simple but cute. I had on a maroon duster with a white cami under it. Some Denim, cuffed ripped jeans and some nude heels from JustFab.

I sprayed on some Michael Kors perfume and combed my hair down. My wrap was so full of body and was growing so healthy. I grabbed my wallet, phone, and charger and headed downstairs.

"Ooh, cousin that's cute," Anisha said walking in the living room smoking some pressure. She passed it to me as I inhaled the gas.

"You want this back? I don't wanna go to the restaurant smelling like weed.", she shook her head no. I put it out and put the ashtray under the table. "Let's go."

Ten minutes later we arrived at Olive Garden. We got out the car and I made sure my clothes were straightened. I pressed the alarm button on my key fob twice, hearing the alarm. Anisha walked ahead of me saying I need all the attention when I walked in.

I moved my hair out of my face and opened the door. "Happy Birthday!" Everyone screamed, standing up. I hugged several family members as I sat in the chair that said "Birthday Girl". Everyone sat down as the waitress came over and started taking orders.

"Okay Cam, you want gifts now or later?" my aunt Jay asked.

"No offense Camry but I can't wait any longer to eat so choose later." Some people chuckled as James held his stomach acting as if he were desperately in need of food.

"Yea later would be aight."

"Well, my gift has to go now," Anisha said standing up. "I know DeAndre was your favorite person ever and I can't compete for his spot. But I try my hardest to be here for you always. This speech don't have anything to do with your present but I just wanted you to know that."

"Aww thank you NiNi." I smiled, waiting to see what her gift was.

"Soooo, your gift is right behind you."

I turned around and couldn't believe my eyes. I felt my eyes blur from the tears that were about to escape. "NiNi?? Howww?"

"I'll take that as you're happy to see me?", Daijah said. I jumped up out the chair and jumped in her arms. It's been six months since I've seen my best friend.

"Yes, yes, yes. I missed you so much. I know I was acting stubborn but you have to understand, I was going through so much." I rambled.

"I know, I know. Chill sus. I know I left without a goodbye and I'm sorry. But after the year you've had, I couldn't allow myself to miss your birthday. I love you bestie."

"Food's here!" James screamed. We all laughed and sat down. We all ate, talked and overall, we had a good time.

"I know you probably don't need this but this is from me, Christy and Jamia. Apparently, James have a separate present to give you." Uncle Dalvin gave me a card with three hundred dollars in it.

"Thank you. I could never have too much money." I dusted my shoulders off.

"Well I guess it's my turn," James said walking over to me with a gift bag. "I didn't wanna give you money cuz that would've come out of my allowance." James always had everyone laughing. He was truly a funny individual. "I don't wanna make you cry before you see it so I'll let the gift explain itself."

I opened the gift bag preparing myself. I pulled out a tank top that said "Slaying Hoes All 2K16". I laughed and the older people made looks of disgust.

"My girlfriend picked that out," James said looking at his momma, Aunt Christy.

The next item I pulled out, was a shirt, that had a collage of pictures of Chelsea, DeAndre, and my momma. I started crying as I held the shirt to my heart. "I'll probably never wear this James. But I love it. Thank you." I cried out.

"You're welcome, But it's one more gift in there. But this gift is from Auntie Jay. It was my idea with her money." James laughed as I pulled the box out.

"It's a very expensive camera? And a tripod?" I looked between James and Auntie Jay.

"Well, I thought maybe you'd like to make a YouTube channel. With a voice that beautiful Cam, it should be all over the world. The World Wide Web that is." Again everybody was dying in laughter.

I stood up and gave James a big hug. I would most definitely have to show out for his birthday. He really made this day special for me. Most of the other gifts were just cards and money.

"First and foremost, I would like to thank everyone who came to celebrate with me. I would like to thank everyone who brought gifts, I appreciate them all. I even wanna thank the people who didn't bring gifts. Y'all being here with me is the best gift ever.."

"Other than my gifts," James called off while coughing.

"Whatever man," I said waving him off. "Where was I? Yea. Y'all being here is okay with me because this year I lost three important people. They couldn't be here because God had other plans for them. But yea. Thanks y'all." I had to wrap that speech up because I felt myself about to cry again and I refused to cry again.

I gave everyone hugs and we all gathered outside getting ready to separate. Daijah coincidently parked in front of me so we were still talking standing at our cars.

"I'm going on a date with Jawun tonight but I really wanna spend time with you before you head back to Cali."

"I'm leaving on the twenty-ninth. We have almost a week to catch up. I'll come over your house after I go see my sister." I nodded and with that, she was in her car and gone.

"Anisha. Thank you again. For all that you do. I really do appreciate it. I know I showed favoritism with DeAndre but we basically were raised in the same house. Don't ever think I don't love and adore what you do for me and Mariyah."

"I know Camry. I love you too."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Best bitchhhh!" Daijah screamed as she walked into the kitchen where I was eating some pineapples.

I glanced up to see Daijah with some girl. Maybe this is who she was cheating on me with. "Cam, this is Bakerah, Bakerah this is the infamous Camry.", the girl stuck her hand out for me to shake as I stared at it.

"I've heard so much about you," Bakerah said pulling her hand away from me, realizing a wasn't gonna shake it. Where was Anisha at awkward moments like this? She just had to go over her momma's house.

"Too bad I can't say the same." I put the rest of my pineapples in a bowl and stuck them in the refrigerator. "So this the new best friend DaiDai? Is this why you been so distant with me?" I asked walking past them, going to the living room.

"If you give her a chance, I think you'd actually like her," Daijah said sitting on the couch next to me. "She reminds me so much of you." I scoffed pulling the ashtray from under the table.

"Y'all smoke?" I asked before lighting the half of blunt.

"Yea we do," Daijah said.

"She can't remind you of me if she can't speak fa herself," I said in the middle of inhaling smoke.

I passed the blunt just as there was a knock on the door. It's five-thirty so I'm sure it's Jordy.

"It's ya favorite gay best friend." He said walking in with his make up bags. "Oh hey, you have company. My name is Jordan but y'all can just call me Jordy."

"Hey, nice to meet you," the Bakerah girl said.

"Jordan Lee Pipeman," Daijah said standing up.

"Umm am I supposed to know you? Better question? How the hell do you know my government?" Jordy asked studying Daijah's face. "Wait! Bitchhh I know you are not Daijah O'rianna Shanae Watson from elementary school."

"Yup it's me in the flesh," Daijah said walking up to Jordy hugging him.

"Well while y'all catching up. Lemme go take a quick shower." I said running up the steps before Jordy could talk shit.

Fifteen minutes later, I was back downstairs rolling up two more blunts. I wanted to face a blunt by myself so I let the three of them have the other one.

While I was facing my blunt, Jordy started slaying my face. Every ten seconds, I would make him stop so I could hit the gas. I put the roach out and prepared to sit still until he was finished.

"Oh my gosh. Hunty, you're gorgeous," Bakerah squealed. I was starting to like her even though I didn't want to. She basically took my best friend.

"Thank you. If you think this is gorgeous you better wait til' I put on my outfit." I bragged.

"Cam you should let me do your hair. I don't have to put weave in it. Your hair is naturally long." Jordy pleaded.

"Wait, That's all your hair? No weave? No extensions?" Bakerah asked.

"Just when I was starting to like you, you doubt me," I said laughing.

Jordy went upstairs and grabbed Anisha's flat irons out the bathroom. "Where's Anisha? With her momma? Cuz I'm her only friend," he laughed.

Jordy started on my hair before I got dressed. It took him thirty minutes to do my hair and I was running out of time to get dressed. It was now seven forty-two and Jawun was picking me up at eight.

Jordy wrapped my hair and I took off up the steps again. I only weighed one hundred and fifty-five pounds. But running these steps like this, I'll lose the weight I do have.

It took me all of ten minutes to put on my dinner attire. I decided to wear a long sleeve, off the shoulder red dress, that was complimented by a cream fur coat with my nude heels that wore to lunch.

I looked in the mirror and I wanted to cry. My momma would've loved to see how beautiful her baby girl was. I couldn't mess up my make up so I chunked the tears up for later. I grabbed the tiny, metal heart my momma gave me years ago and stuck it in my bra. She's going on this date with me.

I took a couple of pictures but I didn't post them yet. I heard the doorbell ring and suddenly got nervous. "Calm down Camry. You got this." I heard my momma's voice. She was definitely here with me.

I unwrapped my hair and it fell into some deep, bouncy curls. I made sure I had my phone and grabbed my clutch on the way out of my room. I made sure I was fixed up before heading downstairs.

"Fuck." Jawun cursed as he saw me coming down the stairs. I smiled as I made eye contact with him.

"See hunny, you fine as fuck. If I liked girls, you'd be my fuck for tonight." Jordy said snapping his fingers in the air.

Daijah and Bakerah just stared in awe. "Cam you have blossomed into a beautiful woman," Daijah said finally speaking up.

"Yea. Camry, you look stunning." Bakerah chirped in.

"As much as I would like to stand around and chat, I wouldn't want us to miss our reservation," Jawun said grabbing my hand.

Daijah, Bakerah, and Jordy pouted while packing up their things. They walked out before us. I locked the door and grabbed ahold to Jawun's hand that was waiting.

Jawun had our dinner reservation at a fancy restaurant called The Oval Door. It was so beautiful inside and out. We caught up on each other's lives and joked all night. He was such an amazing person.

After we were done eating, Jawun paid the bill and left a two hundred dollar tip. I wasn't shocked that he did that because he has an entire donut shop that had amazing business, but I think two hundred was a bit much.

"Why did you tip our waitress that much?" I asked when we made it outside.

"When I went the restroom, I overheard her on the phone saying if she didn't get a hunnid and fifty dollars in tips tonight, her lights would be off. That's all," he explained. "Have you taken any pictures tonight?"

"I took a couple of selfies at home. Why?"

"Gimme your phone." Jawun basically snatched the phone out of my hand. "Pose for me mamas."

After about twenty poses, I posted my favorite one on all of my social media with the caption.

"On A Date With My Next Mate 🤪 #Flawless"

"It's getting chilly out here. You sure you didn't wanna see the movie?" Jawun asked guiding me to the car with his hand on my lower back.

"Yea I'm sure. And didn't you say you had something to tell me?" I asked him as we made it to the car.

"Yea, I didn't want this news to ruin your day and our date, so don't be made that I held out information. Promise me." I looked at him skeptically.

"Before I promise, how long have you had this news." I air quoted around news.

"Since about four or five this morning."

"Okay, I promise I won't get mad. But drive and talk."

We rode around the city and Jawun explained to me what he heard eleven times. We even came up with a trap to see if it's true.

"You sure?" I asked for the one-thousandth time.

"I wouldn't lie about nothing this serious Cam." I nodded my head. I knew someone would try and use me for my money but I didn't expect this.

I called Anisha and told her our movie started at 9:30 pm.

"Can you go check on the house and make sure my car okay?" I only asked her that to see if she was at the house.

"Okay I got you," she hung up.

Jawun parked a few houses down from the house. I took my heels and my fur coat off and left them in the car. I tiptoed to the house making sure my feet didn't get too dirty. Jawun offered to carry me but I felt that was a bit too much.

I unlocked the door and left all the lights off. I put an identical Walmart debit card on the coffee table. This card had twenty-five dollars and thirty-eight cents on it. I heard a car pull up and braced myself.

"No Cam, let's hide under the steps to let it play out."

We hid under the steps, just as the front door unlocked. Anisha walked in with a couple of people. I couldn't make out their faces through the tiny crack I was looking in.

"Anisha, is this her debit card with the twenty mil on it?" That voice was Jaylin's.

"Aw see there is a God. He sent us here to find this card." That voice was Kylen's. My heart was slowly breaking.

"Let's call it first." That voice was Kailah's.

"Oh, my fuckin god. That's the fucking card y'all. And I know her PIN number." Anisha screamed.

The tears fell down my face as I thought of what to do next. Should I let them leave with the card or come out of hiding? Just as they were about to leave out, I walked from under the steps quietly.

"So this how you do me Anisha?" I asked tearing up.

Before I knew it, I heard a gunshot and felt a sharp pain against my chest. Jawun ran out and caught me before I fell. They all took off running, even Anisha. I felt my chest tightened and my eyes became hard to hold open.

"Camry, baby look at me. Don't close ya eyes. You goin' be aight baby. You got this," was all I heard before I blacked out.
