I aimed my gun at the dummy statue and began letting off shots.

"Lighten up." I heard behind me causing me to chuckle.

"I gotta do something to entertain myself, I been down here for weeks and my trigger finger is itching." I say lowly.

I miss my baby.

I miss shooting people.

And I miss my uncle.

"I can take you to a real shooting range ya know? You down him bout to put bullets through my wall." He says.

I lowered my gun. "Why is you just now saying some bout a shooting rage? let's go." I say as I smiled.

"Trigger happy." He says lowly under his breath.

"Yeah, yeah yeah." I say before chuckling.

My phone began ringing. "Momma's first love.. white heart cross fingers, pregnant emoji." My phone began reciting causing me to hurriedly and pick up my phone and answer.

"Hey mama's stinks boo!" I say loudly soon as the call connected.

"Hey momma!" He says just as loud.

"What you doing baby?" I ask as he leaned his head down into the camera.

"Eating cereal, when you coming back home mommy?" He asks.

"In another week, I gotta finish business down here then I'll be back or bring you down here with me okay?" I say lowly with a smile.

He nodded.

We talked a little more before I had to let him go and get ready for school.

"I love you stink, be good okay?" I say as I blew him kisses.

"Okay mommy, I love you too!" He says as he smiled.

"Alright, alright." Malachi says as he took the gun out of my hands.

"Ain't no way a small girl like you can handle a gun at that angle and be shooting like that." He says as he observed the gun.

"It ain't rigged." I say as I chuckled.

"Gotta be, what type of shit?" He asks lowly to himself.

"Where you learn to shoot like that?" He asks confused.

"Myself, I use to watch my daddy shoot people." I say casually.

His face went straight before he busted out laughing. "Ain't surprised at this point, you ain't never had no professional help?" He asks.

"Nope." I tell him.

"You shoot." I tell him causing him to nod his head and began letting out shots.

He was making straight head shots.

Show off

When he was done he looked back and smirked at me.

"What ya think?" He asks as he licked over his button lip.

"You aight.." I say with a smirk.

"Girl, do not." He says waving me off.

"Nah but you good, you had any professional help?" I ask.

"Nah, I use to watch my mama." He says as he bit down on his lip.

I nodded my head not seeing a reason to press it.

"Wanna go get some to eat or some? You look like you bout to cry." I say causing him to laugh.

"You really tried to play me." He says as he jumped at me.

"Ain't bout to cry, but we can go grab some to eat." He says as he put the guns up in a suitcase.

I nodded my head and followed him out of the building and to his truck..

He pulled out of the parking space and began driving down the road.

I observed him as he did so. He had one hand on the wheel and drove smoothly.

His face began turning up into a smirk. "You being a weirdo right now, why you watching me?" He asks causing me to chuckle.

"When I see some I like I look." I say as I shrugged.

He ain't say nothing for a little bit then he looked over at me for a split second.

"Slow yo roll luv, you ain't ready for a nigga like me yet." He says as he licked over his bottom lip.

"If you say so, but I think it's the other way around." I say as he looked over at me.

I shot him a wink and pulled out my phone.

Got em right where I want em.

His phone began ringing causing him to look over at me. "Answer that for me." He says causing me to reach down in the console and get it.

Meeka🤡

I chuckled reading the contact name but answered. "Hello?" I say lowly.

"Who this? Put Malachi on the phone please." She says.

I handed him the phone and he read the name and laughed.

"Wassup?" He asks.

"Why you ain't been over? I miss you." She says loudly.

He looked over at me shook his head. I only shrugged I ain't the jealous type whatever he got going on is his business.

I have a child I ain't into raising niggas as well.

"Bra, why is you doing that? You don't even call me on that you acting out." He says.

"Boy, why is you boo'd up with a female knowing you was with me a few nights ago." She says.

I only chuckled. "What she laughing for?" She asks.

"Sweetie you worried bout the wrong thing, I'm not his bitch we ain't even on that type of timing relax." I say loud enough for her to hear me.

After that she ain't say nothing she just hung up.

He looked over at me then back at the road.

"It ain't gotta be no tension, I'm cool." I say causing him to let out a breath of air.

"You still wanna get food?" He asks.

"Duh! One phone call ain't finna mess up my appetite." I say causing him to chuckle.

Few minutes later we were in front of a soul food restaurant.

"Wanna eat in or to go?" He asks.

"Doesn't matter." I tell him.

He unlocks the doors and we get out.

"She not my female, we not even on that we shared a child but she died in a car accident so it was never the same after that." He says.

I nodded my head. "You don't owe me a explanation, but I'm sorry for you lost." I say as I opened the door.

We walked inside and made our way over to the counter. "Hello, Denzel finally decided to grace me with your presence?" A older lady asks as she made her way around the counter and gave him a hug.

"And you brought company, hello beautiful." She says as she turned to me and pulled me into a hug.

"You his girlfriend?" She asks with a smile.

I shook my head no. "No ma'am, but thank you for the compliment." I say as I returned the smile.

"Well, that's too bad." She says.

Then she walked back around the counter and began ringing him up after he order.

"And you baby?" She asks as she looked over at me.

"You can get me a sea food platter." I say causing her to nod her head.

"Alright, well y'all go take a seat your order should be ready shortly." She says.

We nod and walk over to a table and sit down.

"The food is amazing, I promise you." He says.

"Counting on your word." I say lowly.

I observed the restaurant taking in faces observing just about everything.

I had a habit of doing that when I was in unfamiliar places.

Few minutes later plates were placed in front of us.

"Enjoy." She says before walking off.

I looked down at my food and observed it, it looked good from what I could see.

I bowed my head and began praying.

When I was done I looked up and his eyes were on me. "See some you like?" I ask with a smirk.

He just looked down.

yeah this gone take a minute.
