Brickell was packed as usual and normally my ass wouldn’t be caught out here without security, but I had my niggas with me and more importantly this wasn’t ‘bout me. I was trying to show Nari a good time.
“How much longer we gotta be here?” Lucas’s ass asked. Nigga was acting like we had been here all day.
Looking over at the nigga I cocked my head to the side. “Why? You got something else you tryna do?”
“Nawl but if yo girl ask me one more time how something look I’mma body slam her ass.” He joked.
“Nari got them guns. I’on think you wanna fuck with her.” Byron retorted.
“Yeah, cause of his strong ass.” Lucas pointed at me. “Nari ass ‘bout bench press five hundred pounds.” He heckled, making me and Byron laugh.
“Yo ass capping but she really be hitting that shit.” Nari ass be in the gym going harder than my ass. My niggas stayed fucking with her calling her strong and shit. She had them gains but everything else ‘bout her was soft as cotton. “Nigga just nod and say yeah. Eventually she will stop fucking with you. Why you think I’m all the way over on this side.” I chuckled.
I knew how my girl got anytime we hit the mall which is why I stayed in the cut and out of her way. I let the sales associate deal with her indecisive ass and just handed her the bread for whatever she bought.
“She don’t fuck with you but she be having our ass trying on shades and scarfs and shit.” Byron fussed. “Nari be hoeing our ass while you sitting here unbothered.”
I shrugged my shoulders. “Perks of being her nigga.”
“Yeah aight.” He huffed. “You ‘bout to be mad ‘cause her ass ain’t found shit in here she want.” He rasped before sliding out of his seat.
Nari wanted to hit Chanel before we went anywhere else. I was hoping she found everything she was looking for ‘cause I was trying to grab something to eat before we went anywhere else.
Nari must’ve read my mind ‘cause minutes later I heard her calling my name. “Julius.”
“Man got damn.” I groaned. “What’s up baby?”
“I’m ready.”
“Thank God.” I hopped up so fast so I could pay for her shit. Walking up behind her at the register I peeped the total on thescreen. “You must really ain’t find shit.” I grabbed my card out of my pocket and handed it to her.
“Just a swimsuit and a scarf. I want to go to Louis Vuitton.”
“Come on Nariah.” I groaned.
“Don’t be groaning like I’m inconveniencing you. If memory serves me correctyousaid we could go anywhere I wanted to go.”
“That was before.” I started but stopped when she turned around with her eyes narrowed into slits. “You got it Nari.” I held my hands up and took a step back. “Byron, let the driver know he can pull around. Nari wanna head to Louis.”
“Weak ass.” He mumbled before shaking his head and walking off.
When Nari cashed out, she tried to hand me back my card, but I told her to keep it. Shit she was gone need that muthafucka in a few minutes so she might as well keep it. After grabbing her bags from the cashier, we left the mall.
Nari just ain’t know I was gone let her run wild in Louis Vuitton while I found something to eat. I wasn’t ‘bout to deal with her ass and them shitty ass mood swings. I had to perform tonight and needed to have a clear mind in order to do so.

“How much timewe got before we need to leave?” I asked Julius.
“You got like three hours. Do yo shit twin.” He retorted without pulling his eyes away from his phone.
Grabbing my make-up and toiletry bag up from the bed I strolled into the bathroom. Before getting started I plugged my phone up and turned on Pandora. When we landed in Miami Julius took me shopping and out to lunch. After we finished, we met Tito back at the hotel where I was able to take a quick nap. I barely got any sleep last night and that lil hour cat nap on the jet didn’t do shit for me.
Shedding the tights and t-shirt I had on I turned the shower water on and waited for it to get hot. As soon as I put my shower cap on, I got in and let the water pelt down onto my body. Between my hosting, graduation, the party, and now traveling I was tired as hell. Julius told me we wouldn’t make it back to the hotel until after midnight, so I knew my chances of getting any rest was null and void.
Tomorrow we would be spending the day at the hotel pool, so I had Tito book me at the spa downstairs first thing inthe morning. Grabbing up my exfoliating glove I squirted some shower gel on it and started washing up. I had to do my hair and makeup so I couldn’t spend too much time in here. After my shower I stood at the sink and brushed my teeth before doing my skin care routine.
