Butterflies

Probably one of the prettiest, most luring skies I’ve ever seen after first waking up. I hate abruptly rising, but for some reason this morning was… different. I laid there for a while, putting together what today needs to or may consist of. After a few minutes, I search under my pillows for my phone. To my surprise, shorty hit me. “Hey good morning, wyd today?” Excited, Makai checked what time she sent the text “hmm, aight 12:34, its 12:41, I’ma jus make this bed and grasp my life real quick” she said to herself. She jumped out of the bed and tidied up, folded her two blankets then snatched the du-rag off. Makai looked around the room then said “you know what..” and headed to the bathroom. After brushing her teeth and washing her face she texted back saying “morning shorty, I’m actually free today. Hbu?” She locked her phone then found an outfit and took a shower.

Keri hit back asking if Makai wants to come with, to run an errand. Makai started to smile reading the text because she was eager to meet her. She responded “yea, I’m down. What are you about to do?” “I’m about to DoorDash for a few hours, wanted to see if you would like to accompany me…?” Makai responded letting Keri knows shes around, meanwhile she felt all over the place because at this point a splif cannot be rolled. “Okay, so I’ll be there around 1:30pm, cool?” Makai proceeded to get dressed, then responded “alrighty, let me know when you’re here or close.”

“Come out.” Makai read the text then scrambled to leave. Nervous, she confidently took the steps to the first floor and walked outside. Unsure of which car, she chose the obvious. As Makai got in the car, she felt as if she knew Keri prior to just meeting her. The positive energy was strong. “Whats good shorty.” “Hey, hi.” Keri looked at Makai then they hugged. Makai, breaking the ice, immediately started conversation. “So where are you about to Dash?” “Well I picked something up already but he got me fucked up because who is driving to West Hartford to go to Newington?” Makai responded sarcastically, looking at her “You are. Who else gon’ do it?” With a smile to follow. Keri looked to her right with a smirk, bullying the road, then said “First of all, you can get beat up easy.” They both laughed then proceeded to have polite yet amusing and getting-to-know-you-more conversation.

Makai, being the outlandish one, asked after a while of conversation, “So like, *as she looked at Keri* you eat pussy fuck with girls or are you like, a pillow princess?” Keri laughed, then looked at Makai as she cursed the terrible drivers out, “Nah, yeah, I eat pussy, you gon’ see one day.” with a smirk. Makai was astonished but levered in, then said “Okay, okayyyyyy.” Keri pulled up to a restaurant to grab an order, then got back in. As she began to drive, she sparked the splif she rolled before heading to this stop. They smoked, vibing, talking about small things like favorite colors, sneakers, clothes and being outside; personal passions and further careers. Everything was smooth and cool. Makai felt a little tingle inside, it made her look to her left and stare, as if she had never seen anything so glamorous before. “…. whattttt?” Keri said smiling. “What are you looking at?” Makai responds, “oh nothing, just looking at the trees beside you….” Keri, stopped at the light and sat back, exhaling. “If you say so…”

Makai, looking up, then towards her left while passing the splif said “you know you’re gorgeous right? You look mad good.” Keri blushed, then took off. She didn’t realize the light turned green, and she doesn’t like being honked at. She looked at Makai, then at the road, then at Makai and so forth. Makai started blushing, she was truly infatuated with this girls beauty. “Awww, thank you.” She responded. She smiled for a while longer, then Makai goes “I really like ya nose.” “Ewww why, I hate my nose, it’s sooooo…. nah.” Makai chuckled, saying “maybe because its your nose, you dont like it.” “Maybe, but you really like it? Ew.” She looked at Makai and started to smile. Then hopped out of the car and dropped the fourth package of food off.

Keri noticed the time and debated on delivering another. “Well, if you have to go do what you have to do, I say do one more then be done??” Makai suggested. Keri agreed, so they dropped the last order off, while further getting to know one another. Makai was filled with butterflies. Not because Keri is beautiful, especially in person, but because she seems as if she is very relaxing. Makai knew only time will tell, after all, daydreaming is harmless.

Keri pulled up to Makai’s house, Makai and Keri double take one another, for a while, as Keri pulls into a spot, then Makai grabbed her things. She realized she was rude, so she turned to her left and grabbed Keri’s face, kissing her cheeks multiple times. Keri said “aww, you’re really sweet” with a smile. Makai said “you’re lovely; I was going to kiss you but I didn’t want to overstep my boundaries……” “… you could have kissed me..” Keri said, and at that same moment, Makai put her face and body to Keri; grabbing her chin.. they kissed. They smirked at one another, and to hide her shyness, Makai tilted her head and said “I’ll see you later?” Keri looked at her, and said “more than likely, but we will see.” Keri was filled with joy, and could not stop smiling. Makai closed the car door, saying later, and as she walked towards her residence, biting her lip, smirking. Its been a while since she felt those butterflies.
