SHAYLA ALVEZ
harlem, new york
[7:09 p.m ]

"so what he called me baby? it don't matter." shayla shrugged it off as milani repeatingly
hit her shoulder. "it do matter shay! this nigga done said he wanna eat it—fuck nigga?" she screamed at the top of her lungs.

the darkskin girl shoved milani as she was doing way too much at this time. she was sure she was about to fall asleep from the way the two had been gossiping for the past hours.

milani started jumping up and down, literally doing laps around her room while shayla just shook her head in disbelief. "you act like a lil dog. sit down."

"aaaa! bro he wants you omg y'all gotta go on a date! omg let me set it up right now." milani got up from the floor and almost fell when she tired to pull out her ipad from her top shelf.

milani was so happy for her best friend she could cry. some would say she was being too dramatic but she was just happy for shayla, her bestfriend was the type to just stay to herself. milani had tried and tried to put her on with anybody she knew.

even her cousins.

shayla ended up talking to one of her cousins but it never ended well because with the issues the darkskin girl had they would claim it as 'too much,' and would leave in a heartbeat.

she never took it personally though she knew she had serious problems and not everybody could handle it, she understood people's boundaries.

but this was the first time milani had seen the best friend go out her way to talk to the opposite sex, alone. the most shocking news to milani was that she never even knew anything about this.

as milani was scrolling on her pinterest under the search bar of 'cute date ideas' shayla's phone started buzzing in her hand so she looked back at it, a mug taking over her face when she saw it was a contact saved as 'amora 💙.'

milani didn't know if it was just her attachment issues acting up but she hated seeing anybody get close with shayla especially people she clearly stated she doesn't like.

the lightskin girl didn't have a real reason as to why she doesn't like amora she just thought she was honestly, weird. not like a weirdo type of weird but she just gave backdoor vibes to milani.

and if milani doesn't like you that was a bad sign since she wa the type to beat you outta your socks she didn't care who the fuck you are. "who is it." milani questions before letting out a tired yawn.

"amora's bum ass." milani rolled her eyes as she threw the phone on the bed for shayla who frowned. she never understood onto why milani didn't like her, especially since milani and amora were the closest people to shayla.

"don't understand why you don't like ha." shayla said in complete honesty as she pulls out her airpods from her hoodie pocket because she knew milani was easily irritated from amora's voice alone.

"girll." amora screamed into the phone while shayla smiled. "hi mora wassup."

amora let out a squeal and shayla internally sighed because she knew just from that equal she would start talking about her boy problems. "let me tell youuu."

shayla laid asleep in her bed with her brown bonnet hanged around her hair. the girl had come back from the sleepover from the night before after hours of gossiping, she was slumped.

it was a saturday morning too so it was even a better slumber. she had learned that her work shift was canceled for the day because of memorial day, she couldn't be more happier.

but as everyone knows good things have to come to an end and she got a call on her phone causing her to jump, startled from the loud noise. "can't get shi no more." she mumbles to herself as she pats around for her iphone.

the darkskin girl couldn't even see anything due to how blurry her eyes got when she was tired and she was fresh outta a good dream. she blindly pressed the green button that connected the call.

"yaya." the raspy voice of dd said into the phone as shayla felt her lips curl into a soft tired smile, that was the first time someone called her that and she loved nicknames so bad.

"never heard that one before." she mumbled in her tired voice, unknowingly to her dd just started cheesing at his his phone even though it was a voice call. "aight lemme be the first one to call you that and the last one. ion wanna hear niggas call you that shi."

"hear me?"

shayla laughed at the seriousness in his voice because who else was gonna call her yaya anyways? "shayla answer me broo. tell me no one gonna call you that shit." he whined into the phone.

the girl felt her lips form into a little pout as to how cute he sounded. she had noticed to big things about dd for the little amount they have known each other. he always wanted for confirmation over little things, he would ask shayla multiple times of the same question for a genuine response, he hated when people lied to him.

another thing was how much dd liked to touch on her. it would be little as holding hands he just wanted to touch her.

"you the only one that's gonna call me that dd." she affirmed it from him and it was like she could hear the smile on his face.

dd sucked his teeth but in the happy way. "aight well imma slide over ya place. wit the shi i was suppose to give you yesterday." his voice got lower after each word which made shayla furrow her brows.

he sounded nervous.

"are you okay d?" shayla was always the type of person to take little notes from how a person spoke and just by the way dd said that she got sense he sounded shy for some reason. "i'm straight. okay safety ma."

"safety."

the darkskin girl got up from her bed with a tired yawn leaving her lips as she slides on her cozy slippers. she was in nothing but a pair of spandex shorts along with a oversized tee.

shayla decided the first thing she would do was brush her teeth and take a hot shower even though it was bout 80 degrees outside. when she got out of the shower she stayed in the same clothes.

as soon as she left he room she heard her doorbell ring which made her jump slightly from the loud sound even though it wasn't even that early .

shayla creaked the door open just in case it wasn't dd but of course it was. her eyes immediately fell to the things he had in his hands which were big bags of what looked like food.

"ooo you brought food." she squealed as she opened the door wider for him to enter.

"so no hug?" dd frowned at shayla who physically gagged. "you ain't getting a hug after you jus said that, unt unt baby." she shook her head in disgust.

the lightskin boy's frown fell and turned into a big smile when he processed what shayla had called him. "ohh you love me." he grinned.

shayla waves him off as she sits on her couch as he sets down the bag and sits directly relight next to her. "what you buy." she turned her head to ask him. "oh you kno how you been talm bout no eggs n shi?" shayla nods. "right so i bought you eggs and shi, feel me?"

the darkskin girl put a hand over her mouth so dd didn't see the whole ass smile she had under her hand. "bro dd don't lie." she pushed him. "not ya bro, but i ain't lyin yaya."

shayla bit her lip as dd brought the bag of groceries to her lap. she dipped her head inside it to see, it was a bunch of things she needed around her house that her mother had selfishly stole.

she put the bag down and pulled dd to her side, "thank you dd." she dragged the d. dd decided to lay his head on her shoulder for the remaining time as shayla let's him as she looks into the bag more.

"oh you bought milk, thank youuu." she the asked him once again but dd just shrugged in response. he truly didn't know how bad shayla wanted to hug him because of the simple acts he just did.

the two kept in silence for a minute before dd decided to break it. "my dukes said she wanted to meet you, talm bout how i'm ready to get a wife. but you my wife already so it don't matter or wtv." he mumbled as he interlocked the fingers.

delusional at its fuckin finest.

shayla didn't know to either feel flattered or embarrassed to the fact that dd had already mentioned her to his moms. "i don't know d. we met like not even a week ago." she told him honesty.

she never liked rushing into things, she preferred taking things slowly at a time. one of the main reasons she never got into a serious relationship cause people are never patient.

dd suck's his teeth and shayla is expecting him to roll his eyes, getting mad at her for that response. "ion care yaya. imma wait for you gangsta. not gon force you ta do some shut you not ready fo."

shayla smiles but at the same time almost braking out into laughter. "man you sound like we talkin about sex." right after that sentence flew out of her mouth she started cackling.

dd's lips literally part from how horrendous her laugh sounds. she watches at how she falls from the couch, kneeling down like when she laughs her legs give out,

"man you would think a pretty ass girl like you would have a pretty laugh to match but na.. you sound like a crocodile giving birth. man do those niggas even give birth..?"

"bro dd imma smack you." shayla says in between her laughs but dd doesn't take her seriously. his eyes fall from her face to her legs where she was wearing shorts, his whole face expression changed.

he aggressively dragged shayla up from the floor and pulls him onto her lap to the point where she straddled him. but one thing about shayla was that she was gon laugh, no matter the context of the situation.

"bro dd you a literal freak what the fuckk." she dragged; her mouth had literal no filter so she doesn't really care what comes out that thing.

but dd was the one to control what ever you say so see how that works.

dd grabs more into her inner thighs that cause both of the two to make eye contact quickly. "who you be wearing these short ass shorts fo? cause mama they ain't even go down to these." he squeezed her thighs.

"boy bye." she waved him off as she looks away but dd forcefully grabs her chin, causing the two to make direct eye contact again.

dd licked his lips as he looks down to her brown ones. "you got kissable lips yaya." he tells her.

shayla let's out another laugh as she tries to seem nonchalant. "nah you jus crazy."

"mmcht whateva. what you tryna do lata? youn got work today right?" he asks her once again to make sure since it was a day most places in ny were closed and just as he expected she shook her head.

dd smiles. "well what do wanna do cause what i know you not gonna do is stay in this apartment the whole day." shayla ponders for a second at the question. "we could go take a walk. to the park?"

dd smacks his teeth together as he looked at her. he wasn't gonna show it but he had a giddy feelings in his stomach. every girl he had met had asked for everything when he asked them what they wanted to do.

shayla was just acting like he was any other nigga. he liked that because he was her dd. shayla's dd.

"the park nigga? what we gon do there?" shayla shrugs. "we could just walk and talk it don't matter,"

dd bites his lip so she doesn't peep how hard he was chessin right now. "aight go change cause you ain't leaving like that." shayla puts on a disappointed look as she gets up from her position on his lap and begins walking away.

dd thought that was too easy but then heard her scream, "turn me up i'm tryna fuck point me to the sluts!"
