the man was too stunned to speak.

       " it’s good that you’re a few steps ahead, already. seems like i’m forgetting mostly everything today. " 𝐃𝐀𝐖𝐍 jokingly stated, while rubbing her fresh acrylic nails through her high-ponytail. as the two settled underneath the tent, she sat her bags down that consisted of 𝐇𝐀𝐙𝐄𝐋’s change of clothes after the multiple ride she’d get on, and her few snacks that she’ll crave sooner than later. she was still stuck on her recent activity, but 𝐃𝐀𝐖𝐍 were all ears still, due to her dedicating her to time to having things organized in the area. she then turned her back towards the entrance of the white cover that towered over them all. " aw, you wanna’ post your little boo on the gram ? i got you, stink. but you probably were unaware at the fact, i didn’t know she wanted to match either, you look good, though. i can look at you all day, let’s be honest." she taunted the woman in-front of her, with a short giggle following afterwards. seeing from her peripheral vision, 𝐇𝐀𝐙𝐄𝐋 done with her ice cream; reaching for the snack bag that she had specifically packed for the minor. her arched, lightly-shaded eyebrows furrowed curiously, " how did she know we packed her snacks in there ? you told her, hm ? " she interrogated in a low voice, fully aware that 𝐇𝐀𝐙𝐄𝐋 would’ve ate them up if she wouldn’t have noticed.

       " she looks so cute ! oh my gosh. " 𝐃𝐀𝐖𝐍 exclaimed behind 𝐋𝐎𝐍𝐃𝐎𝐍 who was being the best photographer, in her eyes, ever. " make sure you send those photos, plus the video to my phone, please. " the woman was happy to look towards the day she had ahead of her, and she was sure 𝐇𝐀𝐙𝐄𝐋 would top the entire family’s excitement combined together. moments before the pictures, 𝐃𝐀𝐖𝐍 was sent to gather the ice cream to cool her down but, realized they were defrosting too soon in her hand. " oh shoot ! here, mama. take a bite of this ice cream instead, it’s softer. i forgot i had bought them for you. " she helped 𝐇𝐀𝐙𝐄𝐋 unwrap the ice cream sandwich, then began guiding her in the right direction, " i rented us a tent before anything, so we can go place our items down and let her finish her ice cream. "

       " i agree, these babies are so sweet though, ugh ! i love them, i would’ve brought desirée along as well but she’s sleep or either out somewhere with ishmael. overall, i didn’t want to wake her. " 𝐃𝐀𝐖𝐍 cooed at the thought of the child, she already missed her, and couldn’t wait to see her at home once her date she expected, was over. listening to the girl before her statement, her eyes widened unexpectedly. " you know what ? you’re not too good at being subliminal, i’d love that. especially for you, i support you all the way. " she countered, still giving the undivided attention to 𝐂𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐓𝐍𝐄𝐘 as she found herself digging through her double C crossbody purse, to find her pack of gum. seeking it wasn’t hard, so she pulled out two pieces and offered it to her first. " i’m doing pretty good, though. i really can’t complain. things are all coming in handy. did you hear about the leak ? people are taking money from my family in europe, got the notif’ this morning. way too money hungry for my liking, i can’t get too worked up about it because we do come with a fortune but it’s like… really ? " her venting was uncalled for, but consistent, not only because she was mad, but she’d needed someone to speak on it with, and she genuinely needed to hear advice from 𝐂𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐓𝐍𝐄𝐘’s perspective.

       𝐃𝐀𝐖𝐍 heard the two from afar, having the ability to still color with 𝐇𝐀𝐙𝐄𝐋 and fix her mind on the ladies that were arriving soon enough. " there you are ! hey hey. " standing up from her wooden chair, she gave in both, the mirrored gesture, that consisted of a brief hug before removing her coat and placing it on the outline of the chair to feel the air thoroughly pass by. " hey, pretty. i’m dawn, your mommy’s best friend for a while now. " she admired her looks for the moment, occupying her seat once again. considering that her and 𝐇𝐀𝐙𝐄𝐋 would be the best of friends just by the way she was so timid yet, energetic while talking to her. " and this hazel. meet gigi, mama. wave ! " excited for the new bond that was being created before her eyes, she wanted to do anything in her power to help them interact. " i’ll leave the coloring for you guys, here’s your menu. freestyle, do whatever y’all want, get to know each other. food will be coming shortly. " repeating over the last sentence the waitress told her moments ago, 𝐃𝐀𝐖𝐍 gave the recent crayons she was using prior to 𝐆𝐈𝐆𝐈 as she traveled her attentiveness to her bestfriend. " and it’s fine, it was a delay with us, girls, too. but hey courts, how are you feeling today ? "

        the female nodded her head lightly as she payed mind to the things she deeply elaborated on. it was no argument, that both of them were in deep shock at the car. rotating her style to the right side of her shoulder to refrain her fresh silk out of her face, her facial expressions had said it all when she had heard the echoing ignition tower the previous cars who were racing before them. " i like the sound of that, i never really found my obsession with buying multiple cars until this day, this is the answer to the thousands of dollars i spent on exotic cars. " 𝐃𝐀𝐖𝐍’s soft giggle exited her toned lips, allowing it to fill in the closed space between the ladies. seconds later, she detached her cocoa iris’ from the car, and directed the resembled attention to 𝐇𝐄𝐈𝐑𝐄𝐒𝐒. " and so are you ! your look tonight is everything, i love it babe. " mirroring the praise back, 𝐃𝐀𝐖𝐍 immediately became indecisive of the inquire, she was typically the ‘ either or ‘ girl, but now she wanted to do attempt something different. " one thing about it ? i’m going to whip this bitch until i can’t no more… and it’s press start ? buckle up ! " she warned as 𝐇𝐄𝐈𝐑𝐄𝐒𝐒 removed herself from the car, causing her to saunter towards to the driver’s door to find her comfort inside.

        𝐃𝐀𝐖𝐍 had finally made her appearance of the night, she’d seen the bright lights ahead that signaled to where all of the cars were lined up and ready to race. the familiar face paired with the ride she’d be in with 𝐇𝐄𝐈𝐑𝐄𝐒𝐒, so, she took heed and walked nearby. " nah, honestly. this shit is some heat, forreal. " joining into the one-man conversation she had with herself, she then drew her orbs along the exterior of the car, being more invested than anything. " i don’t think we exchanged a few words before, so before we get in this car oblivious. i’m dawn, nice to meet you. you caught driver seat, right ? "
