I adjusted my top as I checked out my butt in my mirror. I was getting ready to go on a date. Romeo and I had been getting real close and we finally admitted to liking one another.

Omar and I kind of distanced ourselves with one another. He's been 'busy' with his baby momma to be and I could care less. I

guess I can say I might've had a little flirtatious relationship with Omar, but to say I like him? Nahhh.

The doorbell rung and I quickly picked my clutch up, along with my MAC lipgloss. I was walking down the stairs when I heard the front door open. Uh oh. I thought.

After the whole abortion thing, I dont really know how my parent's will react with me beginning to date. My childhood has already been taken away from me, Im sure this will just make it worse, in their eyes atleast.

(FLASHBACK)

Uncle Leon sat down on the edge of my bed as he lit his blunt. He stood up as he took a puff, and walked over towards my window.

Sliding it open, he let out the smoke and looked at me. I was too scared to do anything. I was in my bed naked, as the my silk covers were the only thing that was touching my body. My hair was a mess and I felt disgusting in my own skin. His eyes lingered my body up and down as he leaned back against the pink walls and smirked, before taking another hit.

"Why you look so scared?" He asked.

I didnt say anything.

He chuckled. "Your mom taught you well. Ladies are supposed to be seen, and not heard."

I wanted to roll my eyes but I couldnt do it to myself. I didnt want him to rape me, again.

He took another hit as he made his way over to my bed. I clung onto the sheets tightly as his large frame towered over mine.

His hand quickly and tightly held onto my chin, so that we were now eye to eye. He smiled, letting his gold tooth shine in my face.

"Dont you tell nobody bout' this, you hear?"

Again, I didnt say anything.

His hand collided with my face, making my body fall back. I held the sheet above my face but not covering my eyes, as I began to get really scared.

"Dont you hear me talking to you?!" He clenched his fists.

"Y-Yes sir. I apologize." I said quickly. The quicker I could get him to shut up, the quicker I could get him to leave.

"You tell and I'll kill you." He warned.

I nodded my head as I looked into his auburn eyes. He leaned in and blew smoke into my face, and not once did I flinch or blink. I was too scared to.

Uncle Leon stood up and put his Tshirt on. He adjusted his jeans and grabbed his cellphone from off my computer desk.

He opened my bedroom door, and winked at me before exiting.

I sighed in relief as I burried myself in my sheets. The tears were falling, and falling heavy.

When was this going to end?

(END OF FLASHBACK)

"Well Hello.." I heard my mother's voice from downstairs.

"Hi.."

"Come in, you must be Romeo."

"Yeah. I am."

Why was he being so standoff ish?

"Um okay.." I could tell my mother was beginning to grow irritated with the tone in her voice. "Beverly!" She yelled.

"Im coming.."

As I walked towards the front door, I could see Romeo waiting by the front door as he was on his phone. He was wearing a Laker's Jersey, cargo's and a pair of Air Max's .

"Hey.." I smiled.

Romeo looked up as he gave me a head nod and went right back to his phone. My mom gave me a weird look before she began walking away.

"Have a good time." She mumbled.

I rolled my eyes. "Okay, well are you ready to go?"

"Yea."

"Okay..." I slipped on my pair of black flats and unlocked the door. As I was about to walk out first, Romeo beat me to it as he walked before me.

"K." I said under my breath.

"What you say?" He asked as he turned back around.

"I said Rain." We both looked up to see the rain just fall.

"Crazy. Meet me at my car!" Romeo took off as he covered his head with his hands and ran his way over to his Honda Civic.

I shook my head as I really processed what was really going on.

Beverly Side Note:

K so 1. This nigga came up in my crib acting all salty towards my mother.
2.Salty towards me.
3.Walked out the door before me.
4.Told me meet him in his car and left me by myself to walk.

Does this nigga not realize I spent a good hour and a half curling this virgin hair? Does this nigga have enough class that he wouldve opened the door for me and secondly, wouldve covered me as we walked to his car? Nah, he got me all the way fucked up.

I mushed my face, before quickly running to Romeo's car. I quickly opened the passenger seat to see him again, on his phone and bumpin Lil B's wack ass mixtape.

I huffed and puffed as I sat down and pushed in my seatbelt.

He began driving off as he bopped his head to the gay ass shit people call 'music' .

Twenty minutes later, this music was still blurring and I was just getting more and more annoyed and irritated by the situation.

"We almost there, chill." Romeo stated.

"Whatever."

Five minutes later, we pulled up to a plaza. I cant lie, I smiled as I seen "Hell's Kitchen". My ass was gonna eat good tonight!  But naw, Romeo made a quick U-TURN into McDonalds. My mouth dropped.

He parked and took his keys out his ignition. "Come on lets go!"

I opened my mouth to say something but the his door just slammed in my face, making me REALLY IRRITATED.

I took off my seatbelt, flinging it behind me and made my way out the car, slamming the door.

Romeo was already ahead of me, walking as he was about to enter Mcd's entrance.

I stopped walking and looked up to the sky. "LORD, Help me!"

I walked in Mcd's to see Romeo already ordering. I rolled my eyes as I stood beside him.

"That'll be 6.87" The female cashier said. Romeo nodded as he pulled out his wallet, taking out a five dollar bill and dug for some change.

Handing it to her, she smiled as she put the money into the cash.

"OH." He paused. "You want sum?" He asked.

DUH NIGGA, THIS IS A DAMN DATE?

"Um yeah."

"Aiight then, order whatever you like." He smiled as he moved over, giving me more space to observe the Menu.

"Can I get 6 piece McNugget with sweet and sour sauce with a drink?" The female cashier nodded before reading the total.

I looked over at Romeo to see his eyes staring at the floor and used his shoe to kick something that didnt exist on the damn floor.

"Forreal?" I asked him.

He pretended like he didnt even hear me and began scratching behind his ear.

I laughed as I thought about killing this nigga, bashing his big ass head onto the counter. I opened my clutch and pulled out the ten dollar bill that I had put in their from earlier, lord did I not expect for me to use it, but my mom taught me never to leave the house without money.

LESSON LEARNED.

BEVERLY SPEAKS:

GIRLS NEVER LEAVE YOUR HOUSE WITHOUT NO MONEY. Regardless If you're going on a date or not. Nigga's aint trustworthy these days. They're straight up SELFISH and SNEAKY. Valentines Day coming up, Girl's make sure to save a piece of your upcoming Pay check and bring it along with you cause aint nobody got time for this bullshit, hell naw.

After ordering our food, we decided to sit in a little booth.

Of course Romeo was too busy with chomping onto his Big Mac, that he didnt pay me any mind. I just minded my own, and dipped my nuggets into the sauce.

I was about ready to go home, when he said he had a surprise for us.

"Hey, I know this might not be the best date but come on I gotta surprise."

I finished my last nugget before throwing the garbage away. He grabbed my hand as we made our way over to the PLAYHOUSE McDonalds had.

I didnt know where we were really going but when Romeo took off his shoes, and put it into where the lil kid's put their shoes, I knew foresure we were not going anywhere far.

It wasnt until Romeo hopped  into the castle and slid down the slide...... game was officially over.

"Oh my goodness..." I shook my head as Romeo "YAYED!" as he slid down the slide, over and over.

I quickly called my mother as I walked outside of the building.

"Hello?" She answered.

"Mom! Can you please pick me up?" I looked behind me. "Im at the nearest McDonald's."

"McDonalds?" She laughed. "What happened?"

"I'll tell you when you get here."
