Kain speed on the freeway trying to beat the incoming traffic.
"So were going to your house?"
"Ain't that what I said?"

"So...hostile and mean"Charmaine mumbled.
"Well stop asking questions you know the answer too. "Kain told her.

"If you don't mind can we get food."
"I got food at my house "he told her.
"What if you don't like what I cook?"
"We gon' fight. You better know how to cook"Kain said looking at her then at the road. Charmaine laughed to herself. "We gon' fight" the thought lingered in her head. She looked down wiping lint off the black jeans she wore.

Kain pulled into his driveway killing the engine."Wait...where is your family? Aren't  you suppose to be celebrating with them?"

"They on vacation"
"Why did-"
"You ask a whole lot of questions"he told her shutting his car door.
Charmaine got out looking at the beautiful house. It was big. "And you live here alone"

"Still asking damn questions"he chuckled walking up the porch.
"Since I ask too many questions feel free to ask me questions...I may or may not answer them. " she said following behind him into his house. She looked around the interior was stunning.

He had a black and gray color scheme. Here and there you would see a yellowish-goldish color. He had several paintings and quotes on his wall.

"He must like lil' snupe and 2 Pac "Charmaine said looking at all the quotes that were from the two rappers.

There was a seventy-two inch TV that hung up on the wall.

"Char fucking Maine" Kain said. She looked up at him seeing they were about twelve feet apart.
"Yes?"
"I asked you did you want something to drink" she shook her head," water is fine for now. " he got up getting her drink and she continued looking around. All the expensive Chandler's that hung by the stair case,foyer and dining room.

Kain came back with her  water and he sat not too far from her on the couch.
"Why you quiet as shit now?"he scrunched his face up.
"I was just looking around you douche bag"she pushed him playfully.

"You like it?"He asked her.
"Yes it's beautiful. Who did i-"
"Never mind"she shook her head remembering she was asking him too many questions

"You are funny. You awkward as hell too"he chuckled getting comfortable on his couch.

"Awkward? "
"Hell yea. Walking out the door backwards and shit. "
"Hey, hey hey... That's when I first met you okay. "
"You still weird as shit"he told her pouring a little bit of hennessy in his juice.

"Whatever you say."she rolled her eyes.
"So how old are you twenty four?"Charmaine asked. Kain relized by now she was just a curious person...Very curious.

"Twenty three" he corrected her.
"Dang...you a old man"she teased.
"Yup a old man with hoes"he shrugged.
"Whatever. I even got a few of those" she rolled her eyes.

Kain sat up in his seat with an amused look on his face.
"A few what?"
"H...ho" , "you not even allowed to say the damn word. You better get on somewhere.

Kain grabbed his backwoods and swichers out his back pocket sitting them on the table. "Sucks that you don't smoke...sike don't smoke. It's not lady like"Kain told her breaking his weed down.

"And you are the one to tell me what is and isn't lady like she laughed. "Just saying"he shrugged.

"You got any siblings?"Kain asked her. She looked up from her phone shaking her head no.
"It was just my momma and I "
"Where was your pops?"

"Believe it or not he became famous. I don't remember seeing him after fourth or fifth grade. My momma always told me he left us,but you know there always two sides to a story"

"Damn That's fucked up. I couldn't imagine being okay missing years let alone days of my child life. Everyday they grow and learn something new"

"I know and you would think with Griff knowing what I had went through he would be nothing like that towards Lani"

"Not that I'm surprised cause he's a bitch all the way around but he wasn't an active parent"

"No he was there,but not mentally you know?"Kain nodded his head understanding.

"Aye fuck em' They the ones missing out"Kain blew smoke into the air.

"Your mom and dad still together?"
"Yea they been together for almost twenty years.
Charmaine perked up impressed by the number of years his parents been together.

"I want something like that. "Charmaine eyes lit up.
"I bet they like best friends and attached at the hip"

Kain laughed cause that's exactly how his parents were. They still acted like the sixteen and seventeen year olds they were when they first met.

"You damn right"Kain couldn't lie he wanted to settle down,but he was just waiting on the right one to settle down with. Kain really preferred having someone to come home to at the end of the day. After trying with so many females he gave up.

"Awe. That's so cute she cooed
"So damn sensitive"
"Kain-"she said sternly
"Don't act like a twenty year marriage is not cute. "

"It's aight"he shrugged finishing his first blunt.
"Aight? You so boring "
"Boring? I invited you over to keep me entertained and you boring as hell. "

"So if I wasn't here what would you be doing honestly? "
"Honestly?" Kain smirked.

"Yup"Charmaine crossed her arms.
"Either walking around here butt ass naked or having a threesome with some strippers"

Charmaine eyes grew wide forgetting how blunt Kain is.
" ew Your discussing "
"Aye I got needs and you told me to be honest. Don't say Ew either like you don't be doing weird shit...you probably go home masterbating hoping it was no other then Kain touching all on you" he shrugged.

Charmaine cheeks turned a deep shade of red. The few times she did please her self one time Kain so happened to be on her mind.

"So it's true!"Kain boasted while laughing. She picked up a pillow throwing it at him.
"I never said that"
"Your face said it all. You don't got too many more times to hit me either"he side eyed her. Challenging him she picked up a pillow hitting him with it again.

She got up standing behind the couch while he put his blunt down.

Kain chased her around the living room trying to hit her back.
"Lucky yo skinny ass can fit back there. " Charmaine hid between the shelf and the wall. Kain could barley fit in there.

He turned the heat up knowing the heater was right between the shelf and the wall.
"I hate you"Charmaine whined feeling the tempture rise.

Cause the hot tempture she was forced out. "Okay I'm coming out. I'm done game over. I apologize " she said coming out slowly. Kain grabbed her up lifting her in the air spinning her around. Charmaine was nothing she was very light weight.

"Skin and bones"he said putting her down sure that she was dizzy. She stumbled on her way to the couch.
"No"she pouted.
"Uh yes. How much you weight one ten?"

She put her head down in embarrassment "almost...one hundred and eight"

"You be starving your self and shit. Why you so small?"
"Cause...it was G-"
"Should have known"
"Well let me tell you something we gon' get ya weight up ol small ass"he teased.

"Fa' really?"
"The hell you just say to me?"he laughed
She rolled her eyes picking up the remote to the tv
"Fresh prince? "She asked looking up at him. He nodded his head putting his second blunt out.

"You got a throw?"
"For what? It ain't hot enough?"
"Yes but it will help me get more comfortable"she told him.
He moved pulling the one he was sitting on. Once she had the blanket wrapped around her he played the show. Charmaine rested her head on Kain shoulder.

"Cold ass feet"he broke the silence. As much as she didn't want to she laughed.

"I'm not complaining about your....crusty hands"
"Crusty?"he looked at her.
"They are very dry"she said touching the palm of his hand. The feeling of her touches on his palm sent tingles through his body. You know that massaging feeling? 

"Aye can you keep doing that?"
"Doing what?"
"What you was doing to my hand"he smiled. Charmaine looked at him with her eyebrows knitted.

"Hold up...if I rub your hand then...you got to rub my f-"
"Hell no besides it's my birthday"
"So what besides ain't nothing wrong with my toes"

"Three minutes"he rolled his eyes
giving in to her charming smile. Charmaine smiled again putting her feet in his lap.

He examined them before putting his hands to work.
"This feel good"she wiggled her toes. Kain laughed to himself he looked at her foot closely seeing she had a small tattoo.

"Tattoo"
"Huh?"
"Got this tiny ass tattoo"
"Hey. It was my first one and I was fifteen"she said not taking her eyes off the Television.

After five minutes kain stopped rubbing her feet and held his hand out. Charmaine tucked her lips trying not to laugh at at the look Kain was giving  her.

She bursted out laughing then grabbed his hand.
"I might as well order food"
"Yup"she said honestly. Kain decided to place a order at his favorite Pizza place.

"What kind of pizza you eat?"
"Pineapple"Kain nodded his head ordering two large pizzas.

"Thank you "Charmaine said out the blue.
"For what?"Kain looked at her for a moment. "Everything​. I really appreciate it. You do a lot for me" Kain scratched his beard caught off guard a little.

"I do the shit I do for you cause I see you out here hustlin' trying to keep you and your baby girl safe ,and I respect that. I also seen people in my family in similar situations to you. I know that it's hard.Especially at a young age with a child who Is just starting to understand everything that is going on around them. You a real hustler and I fuck with that. You just cool people... My homie"

His words unintentionally made Charmaine smile ear to ear and blush. She felt the only one who recognized her hard work was Tiani. "Thank you"she hugged him.

Kain let it happen for the one time. Never again though.
